Got a paid account!

Well, I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a paid LJ account. Mostly so I could use more icons like the one above which was made by caitirin2 . Isn't it gorgeous? *icon love* I also intend to go and find those Star Trek icons I saw butter_cup_ using. I suppose I'll be looking at the different LJ templates again...gah! It took hours to get this one just so...

Yesterday, work was having a "customer service" appreciation celebration which included a contest which was to sing an 80s song karaoke-style over the intercom. I joined up and sang "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". I didn't win the ititial contest (email ballot box stuffing) but the CFO said that anyone who was brave enough to do it (there were only three contestants) deserved a prize, so I won three tickets to a Nashville Predators hockey game later this month. Hubby was thrilled.

Got some good news today, the EPA folks finally got the land to perk, a bit further away from the house than we anticipated, but whew. They are supposed to come out and stake out the area this week. Once that is done we can get the damned survey done and then file the quick claim deed. Then, it's off to the bank to find out how much they will loan us and we can pick out a house. I hope the EPA folks don't disappoint us this week.

Got to get back to my Lily/Kingsley fic I'm doing for snegurochka_lee in a little bit. I'm going to go read the meme ficlet she wrote because I stumped her on her fic meme. I'm just getting the smutty part started on mine, so I'm wondering if I should base it on how much I like the one she wrote for me? *evil laugh*

Squee! Paid LJ! Did you get the extra icon space? Once you start downloading icons it's hard to stop.

I'm struggling with my Lee fic. I've got this First Amendment debate on my mind and it's crowding out all the smuttiness.

Must. Not. Let. Right. Wing. Wrong. Thinking. Kill. The. Smut.

I got the paid account, but I cheaped out on the icon space. I may have to just store them on photobucket and swap them out. But, I may have to break down and pay for the extra space. Yep, I have been downloading icons instead of writing *facepalm*. I still can't find your awesome Star Trek ones, though! *cries*
Don't let the right wing crazies make you crazy.

The only reason I'd want a paid lj is icon space. But oh, how I want the icon space!

And yay for cheesy 80s music over the intercom! You totally rock for doing that, and good choice of song ;)

*crosses fingers for the EPA people being good*

Mm... Lily/Kingsley. I just wrote Petunia/James and feel weird. It was the first thing more than 300 words I've written in weeks, but it was written from start to posting in about an hour and a half.

Oh, and I'm glad you liked hers, because I want hot smut!

I read yours and I liked it! Very cool how you got them together. Very in character.

I finished mine, I am not sure how "in character" they are because I'm not very familiar with either of them, but the sex is steamy. I sent it to you for a quick beta if you can, if not, no worries.

I may have to upgrade, because my icon love has already overtaken my space. heh.

I had huge worries over my Petunia personification too.

I am sorry I couldn't look over your fic for you (I may possibly get a chance to look at one, although that's unlikely, and Lee's email was before yours, soory).

I am making myself stick to three icons and trying not to feel jealous.
