Brain-sucking parasite

Wait a sec: in what universe are you a brain parasite, Miss Won A Huge Scholarship to University of Melbourne and Is Kicking All Sorts of Ass While I Don't Do Much Except Crack Wise on the Internet?

As for pretty avatars: I'll make a couple for you! I have loads more fucking-around time than you do :P . I also have the requisite software, all of it legally obtained, of course *clears throat wildly*. I just have to think of a few worthy pictures and appropriate text.

And if you want to learn how to link to cool sites, it's dead easy. Here's how you do it:

The HTML tag to create a link looks like this:

<a href="[insert URL here, including the http:// bit]">Witty text describing link here</a>

If this isn't clear, here's a basic HTML tutorial: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/

The nice thing about Livejournal is that if you provide the complete URL, including the http:// part, it automatically creates a link for you, as that link to the HTML tutorial demonstrates.

Anyway, your true personality is AWESOME, and I will kick anyone's ass who says any different--including yours if I have to :P .

Oh, also, Jay says he wants to add you to his Livejournal friendslist--that cool with you?

Now, if you want to be completely intimidated by somebody's smarts, go check out his LJ. His articulacy and erudition terrify me. I live in fear of him finding a smarter chick and dumping me for her :P .

Hello!

Guess who's the idiot! I did not validate my email when I signed up for my LJ, which was a month ago? And the thingy expired, and I have to re-do the whole thing again. And I only found that out when I wanted to reply to your comment, and I can't. Told ya I'm totally incompetent when it comes to online stuff.

Thanks for the offers! Once I can decide what I actually WANT to do, I'll let you know. ;)

Re: Jay. I'm very flattered that he wants to include me. Does he know me? Can I say Hi? Although I did think, it's part of both your plan isn't it? Reel me in and then blow me apart with Your Combined Brain Powers? I did check out his LJ, and I don't think you're any less articulate than he is! Shush with the Fear and Dumping talk. Trust me. There are no girls smarter than you are. :) Read my first LJ post, if you still doubt it (I made you my first entry!!).

Re: Hello!

Heh heh heh. Poor dear! Seems like you've sorted all of this out, though. Also, I have to get around to making some icons for you.

And Jay has already added you to his friendslist, hee hee. He doesn't know you, but I talk about you quite frequently. You can certainly stop by his journal and add comments to anything that interests you--he'd probably be tickled pink.

You can add us on your friendslist too, by the way. On the dark blue bar up above, roll over "Manage," then click on "Friends," then click on "Edit Friends," and in the Add Friends section near the bottom of the page, just enter our LJ names (theotherjay and misshepeshu) and hit the "Save Changes" button at the bottom.

This way, you can create entries that are friendslocked, which means only people who are on your friendslist can read them. I didn't use to do this much, until I remembered that my workplace keeps a proxy log of all the sites I visit, and I reckoned it'd be in my best interests to keep some of the stuff I chatter about on my LJ sort-of-private.

And thank you for your vote of confidence re: my articulacy. I consider it high praise indeed. I have a feeling your assessment may be colored by your partisanship, though--just a feeling :) .
