Blah blah blah-d blah blah

Well, okay. I already whined about this to darkhavens (and i'm sorry, but i have NO CLUE how to make your name a link)... But i'm all frustrated with where my two non-Changes fics are. I'm actually to the point where i'm wondering if i'm gonna get either of them done before i'm back to Changes every week and that's getting me really, really depressed.
Seems like a stupid thing to be depressed about, but i can't help it. And i LOVE both these fics! They started out just LOVLEY and i flew along, and it was AWESOME, and suddenly....nothing! I guess, with the one, i'm not sure where i want it to go, so that's BAD. And with the other... I know where i want it to go but i'm wondering if it's just entierly too cliche and dull and should i even continue.
Ack.
Plus, my ultra beta, Snoopy, has been half-killing herself getting final exams and whatnot done and is finally, FINALLY ready to graduate, so she has had no time at all to look over stuff and give me a swift kick in the ass. And i know she's behind in all kinds of stuff and i really don't want to just dump these on her and make her even more frantic.
So, i'm sulky, pouty, annoyed, frustrated, and hungry, damnit, and i want a soda but Elf is asleep and i can't exactly drive down to the store to grab a tasty carbonated beverage and leave her here alone! Wah!!!
And Cat is at work until 4 a.m. and i'll be toast by then, so having HIM get the TCB will NOT work! Wah, again!!

Hrmmmm. This is nice. Angst angst angst, rant rant rant, vent vent vent.
Lame lame lame. Hee!

Plus? I want my journal to be a color but don't know how. And what's with the whole 'two journals' thing, anyway? I mean, one is all colors and links down the sides and stuff, and one is just white and blue with entries and comments. Other people's, i add, not mine. Why two? Why so different? How do they do that? And how do you look at someone elses' memories? Can't seem to find THAT anywhere!
I'm just NOT getting it at ALL, for some reason.

An that makes me feel dumb which doesn't help my mood.

On the plus side...my iris are in bloom, more this year than last year, totally cool. And i have chapter 31 - or chapter one of part two - of changes mostly written.

But i don't have a name for part two yet, at ALL, which is...frustrating. And the names that have been suggested don't sit well.

So Wah! again!

Whoot! K. My first totally whiney, whingeing, lame-ass, pity-me entry!
That'll put marzipan in your pie-plate, bingo.

You'll pick it up in no time and then you can pass the help on to others.

BTW, forgot to mention in the last post, to make names into links...
(lj user="username") and replace the round brackets with the usual coding brackets. :o) It's exactly the same for communities too. :o)

[tabaqui]

Ok, see, that? NO clue. What are 'usual coding brackets'? < >?? I put stuff up on my website, but i don't think it's the same..or is it?
How 'bout, you humour me and 'splain really slooooowly. With pictures. :)

Them's the ones. Just put them in place of the curvy ones and you're good to go.

(lj user="darkhavens") ;o)

And...

To make an lj cut:

(lj-cut text="click here") stuff you're hiding behind the cut tag goes here... (/lj-cut)

You can put any text you want in the cut text speech marks (instead of click here), for example "read about my crappy day here" or "naked pix of Spike and Xander doin' it", but remember, when they click through to the rest of the message, the text inside the speech marks isn't visible, so if it's the title of a piece, you need to put it in the post twice, once in the speech marks and then again as part of the text you're hiding.

I'm still pretty much a coding newbie, but most html code I've used on my webpage seems to work here too. And there are other LJ-specific codes that can be found in the help FAQs.

Happy coding! :o)

let's see... a test...

IT worked! Sheesh. :)
Thanks, sweetie.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Yay! Now you too can go out and spread the LJ knowledge to the newbies. ::wink::

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

.........and that would be a no, cos you missed out the bits on either side of darkhavens.

(lj user="darkhavens") - just replace the ( ) with < > ::crosses toes:: ;op

::kicks self::

I shoulda waited! Well done. ;o)

[tabaqui]

Heee!
Yup.
I got a clue. I'm slow, but sure. :)
