I haven't redone my "about me" post in, oh, ten months, and now I have new friends and things are changing, so I figure it's about time to touch it up.

( look, you don't have to deduce it, I'll just tell you everything )

I changed my layout from Sherlock to dragons. Temeraire fanart ftw. Now my layout matches my default icon.

On the topic of incredible art, here is a Thor/Supernatural crossover comic of Loki and Gabriel meeting. It's pretty hardcore awesome and gorgeously done.

I've kind of been haunting the Thor kink meme since I saw the movie Saturday night, lacking anything better to do. Well, I spent most of the day yesterday finishing Makers by Cory Doctorow out on the hammock, but aside from that it's basically been kink meme and facebook. I'm terribly boring when left to my own devices.

However I think I'm going to try the Nyan Cat nails today. So that might be happening and turn out pretty neat.

You can now crosspost content from LJ to Twitter and Facebook.

If any of you crosspost anything that connects to this journal, I'm going to ban you. Just making that perfectly clear from the outset. I don't mind things on drive_thru_rx being linked on Twitter, but keep it off Facebook, please. The last thing I need is to make it easier for my father to internet-stalk me and find out just what I do on LJ.

If you want to get rid of the Facebook and Twitter connect buttons, just do this, stolen from tiptoe39 who got it from just_chiara:

1) First of all, install the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox.
2) Then go to this page and hit the "install" button.
3) ??
4) Profit!

Help me out real quick, folks. I'm going to be redoing my LJ layout as a kind of yay-new-things-all-around before moving in to Wells (in six days oh my god what the fuck am I even doing I only have six days), and I've come down to two headers I really like. Pick which one I should use.

( images below the cut, it's a poll, give me five seconds of your day to register an opinion )

Thank you, everybody, my new layout has been implemented, come ogle it: speccygeekgrrl

should be asleep, instead just uploaded a Sherlock moodtheme by calicons.

it's sexy.

NOW, sleep.

I haven't updated my "about me" post in almost as long as it takes to gestate a baby, so I'm going to redo that now. Not too much has changed, but enough has that it bears redoing.

( look, you don't have to deduce it, I'll just tell you everything )

In happier White Collar-related news, CHECK OUT MY NEW LAYOUT GUISE!

I see them all smiling and it makes me smile! This is going to be an excellent layout to keep for a while.

It's been... quite a while since I did one of these, and a lot of things have changed, so: this is my periodic update to my "about me" post. Feel free to skip it if you've known me for a while... or read it anyway if you want to, whatever works. I stole the new format from candlewaxdreams.

( come with me on a journey through time and space... )

gratuitous layout post!

It makes me smile, which is all I really ask of a layout. :D

New layout is done! It's not exactly what I saw in my dream, but I think it's close! IT'S EVEN GOT ~LENS FLARE~.


Well, that was a satisfying waste of an hour and a half. xD

2922 days of blarghing.

8 years ofspeccygeekgrrl.



Averaging it out, that's 2.4 posts per day.

Damn, that's a lot of LiveJournal.

New layout~

Mmmm, Pinto.


I do have a question, though. Is there a way to make keyword text appear when I hover someone's usericon on my friends page? I've looked just about everywhere for some way to do this, and I've been coming up empty-handed. It's not OMG NECESSARY but it would be a nice little frill.

We all know I'm completely indecisive. HELP ME PICK MY NEW HEADER, LJ HIVE MIND

( the three contestants in one biiig picture )

[Poll #1408046]

I will begin work on my ~new header~ in the morning. GOOD NIGHT.

This seems to happen about every 4 months: the new and improved "hello new friends!" post! :D

( hello, bonjour, hola, ohayo, shalom )

There we go, same nutshell, different details. As always, if anyone wants to say anything about me, bring it on, and if you would like to tell me about yourselves, I am totally listening! :D

Oh, sweet!

On December 4, all permanent accounts are getting... wait for it.... waaaait for it....

50 EXTRA USERPICS


\o/


okay, now back to tearing up over Winchester boys



SQUEE

New layout~~~

:D

My first fuck-the-no-new-content post is HOW TO DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING.

Instead of ditching LJ for one day (which won't even show up, because they compile stats weekly?), how about sending actual physical postcards to them?

c/p'ed from synecdochic


Feedback about this fucking idiotic boneheaded fucking move goes on an actual physical postcard to:

TADAHHHHHHH

Every so often, I have to make sure my filters are up-to-date. Don't worry about if you THINK you're on the filters... just tick it off again if you're not sure!

[Poll #1152072]

I'm still running the numbers-for-cover-songs post, if anyone missed that/wants another go at it. Tomorrow I'll make one big post with all of the requests on it, so keep on asking for them! ;D

Now... I have a two-page essay to write. >>

I've spent $430 total on Livejournal in the past 4 years.

I'm not about to leave or anything, I was just exposed to the Payment History page, and I figured why not see?

I first paid for services on April 11, 2003. I bought myself a permanent account in 2005. Altogether: $204 paid for my own account, for my lifetime.

I've bought other people, collectively, 80 months of service and 66 months of extra userpics. Almost all of them (barring p33ner) I met through fandom. (Although Kristin gave me money to pay for hers, usually, and I'm not exactly sure how it pans out.) Almost all of them I'm still in contact with. ♥

And I've bought 6 rename tokens, twice for one person in fact.

I never really thought about how much money it was (except for the permanent account, lol), but I'm not surprised.

Hm. I've been putting off the dishes for so long, I really have to do those. >>

A buttload of new icons! I really should make a FOB icon post. I mean, mine aren't really that good or anything... a little toying around in photoshop and plain blackline borders. Maybe I won't.

I've made a lot, though!

And now I nap.
