Because I don't kill enough time online

[constance]

I signed up today for NaBloPoMo. What possessed me, I hear you asking? Well. I had this thought in the back of my mind that committing to writing every day for a month would get me back into a habit I've been out of for several years now. (I'm thinking this is something like buying clothes two sizes too small as an incentive to lose weight, which everyone knows doesn't actually work, but.)

What can I say? I miss the days when I had something to say and was just happy to get it out there, floating around, whether anyone read it or not.

My paid account recently lapsed, and I did know it had lapsed -- I am lazy and also poor -- but I only just realized that a basic account does not include image galleries, and now all my images are gone. I am kind of sick about this, since I had hundreds of images posted there, and I am so mad at livejournal I'm going to start hosting photos elsewhere, even if I do ever get around to renewing my account. So I have a question for you: Photobucket or Flickr, and why?

I am always a little embarrassed to read NaBloPoMo because I invariably think NAMBLA when I see it. MUST. GET. OVER. THAT.

I can't imagine paying more than sixty dollars for jeans. Honestly? I try hard not to pay more than twenty-five for anything -- it's sort of a matter of principle for me -- though sometimes it's not possible to stay that low. Don't tell anyone!

Oh, lj gave me notice, but as does seem to be the case since I bought the house, I'm one step ahead of a zero bank balance this week, so it'll have to wait. :( Anyway, just kind of poking around flickr and looking at some of the addons and things, I'm excited about using it anyway; and I think it'll work fine for me regardless of whether I ever retrieve my stored lj photos. Thanks for the rec!

I am ashamed to admit that I had to google NAMBLA to see what it was. Why do I live under a rock?

I can't stomach paying over $60 for jeans, either. Heather, damn her, got me hooked on these Lucky jeans (with a hand-me-down pair), and now I crave them even though they're out of my price range. When I saw them for $32.99 at one of those depressing discount stores where the raincoats are jammed in right next to the "activewear", I nabbed 'em right quick. Who cares that they're a size and a half too small and about a mile too long? That's what starving and tailors are for!

I am so proud I got to be the one to introduce you to NAMBLA. :/ But. God, I do love me some depressing discount stores.
