Hmm...LJ Basic Account Babbling

[popkin16]

A couple of weeks ago, there was a big uproar about LJ disabling the option to create a basic account. I grew extremely worried, since I've invested quite a lot of time into this site (as the astonishingly high number of memories can prove). I don't/didn't want my account to be deleted. I don't want to loose all my friends, the communities I belong to, and my memories.

But I then learned they wouldn't be deleting basic accounts before March 12, 2008. I breathed a sigh of relief, and went on my way.

Then I was informed of plus accounts. If I had known they were free, I would have gotten a paid account in the beginning and just dealt with the advertisments.

So now I'm wondering - is it possible to move on to a plus account, without losing everything?

If so, I'm willing to deal with a few distracting, annoying advertisments if it means I don't have to worry my account will be deleted.

Note to self: Do some research. I know how to switch over, but will my memories & communites keep?

On school nights, I stay up for much the same reasons - I get talking to a friend, or I get into some site...

I can't help you with how LJ coding works. I wouldn't even know how to search for that. -.-

There's nothing wrong with being long-winded! I often mean to leave a short, concise comment and end up babbling for several paragraphs. XD

haha rants are pretty much awesome. XD

And that was short. Wow.

Re: Hi!

Rants are fun to read - as long as the writer isn't seriously hurt or anything. *Nod*

What was short?

Re: Hi!

The comment was short. *gasps*

*Giggle*

Oh noes! XD Quick, somebody write something long-winded!

*Brain dies*

XD Well I could tell you about placental abruption, which i've been researching for my The Healing story . . . but I don't think you want to know about it. =P

*end of not so long winded comment*

SPORKS!!!!!!!

Re: Hi!

[popkin16]

Placental abruption? I've never heard of that. Sounds pretty...ugh. *Nods*

Sporks are the ultimate weapon. To harness a spork is to harness power itself.

Or something. >.<

=P You'll get to read about it in fictional form when I start posting The Healing on dA. XD

I know. Sporks are just amazing.

So how have you been?

Re: Hi!

[popkin16]

:D Well then, I'm...er...waiting patiently to read about it? I'd say looking forward to it, but 'placental abruption' doesn't sound very fun.

XD Sporks are amazing, yes. Such potential, and we use them to simply eat with...

I've been okay. Just got over a cold, and I'm stressed from school, but it sort of balances out with the good in my life. But what about you? How have you been?

Re: Hi!

[rushofcadence.livejournal.com]

XD Well it's not technically referred to . . . *cough*

Yes, well I once met someone who thought sporks were some sort of wild animal! o.O Oooo . . . I can see it now! So vicious! hehe

Bleh, that doesn't sound fun. Balancing is good, though. I've been OK. I didn't have to work much last week since my dad (who I work for part time) was on a business trip, so that was fun. lol And tomorrow I'm going with my mom and sisters to a debate tournament. they roped me into judging, but I don't mind. i just don't like being away for a three day weekend. oh well.

Re: Hi!

[popkin16]

O.o I did not know there were people out that there weren't aware of what a spork was. Oh! Maybe they thought you said stork? HAHA! The spork will be features on a nature show..."Watch closely as the spork moves in closer to its prey. Take note of its preperation to attack..."

You work for your dad? What's that like? It doesn't sound like it'd be a lot of fun, but since I have no experience to base that on, I could be wrong. You know, I could see you at a debate tournament. Of course, I could picture you debating easier than I could picture you judging, but *shrug*

Re: Hi!

[rushofcadence.livejournal.com]

Hahahahah! ROFL *cough* Yeah, I didn't know there were people like that, either. I guess I become more enlightened every day. XD

Working for my dad is pretty cool. I really like my dad, so it's all good. Though he is terribly quirky. XD It pays well, so I can't complain.

Hehe I did debate once and wanted to do it more but didn't have the time at that point, and it was a high school home school league. I really like judging, and the best part is that judges don't have to wear a suit! tehehe lucky me.

Re: Hi!

[popkin16]

*Giggle* They say you learn 1 new thing a day.

It's good that you get along with your father, and that you don't mind working with him. I know a lot of people that'd hate it. And if it pays well --- then it's even better XD

*Nod* I can totally see you debating and then becoming a judge. It fits your personality...not that I'm saying you're judgemental or whatever.

Re: Hi!

Hehe, yeah, it was fun, but I'm glad to be back. We're going to be gone all this coming weekend at a dog show! Ack! And my dog is shedding like crazy, which is kinda funny because she's so cute and rather pathetic when I brush her and get her hair all over the yard. XD

Re: Hi!

[popkin16]

It's always nice to return home after being gone for any amount of time.

Is your dog going to be in the dog show? If so, then good luck! XD I adore dogs!

Re: Hi!

[rushofcadence.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I show her in UCK obedience. My two sisters show their dogs, too. Dogs are awesome! Well, the dogs I LIKE are awesome. XD I only need three more combine qualifying scores to get my final title, and I'll have four opportunities at this show, so I really hope I can do it! *so excited* I haven't been able to practice much, though, so I'll probably be doing a bit of that this week. =P

Re: Hi!

[popkin16]

That's so cool that you show dogs! XD I used to know someone who did the same, though they had like 20 dogs.

Well, good luck getting your final title! I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I can't really say anything more, because...well, I know nothing about dog shows. -.-

Oh, and good luck to your two sisters, too! :)
