The picture representing what makes me happy can be seen

here

at [livejournal.com profile] trolleys' [livejournal.com profile] oddments journal.

I don't want to repost without permission permission granted, but do click, because I want you all to go see not only that picture, but the other ones she did, too. So go. While I talk about what makes me happy, day 7, which is,

Fandom


People you've never met drawing you pictures or writing you fic to your specifications. People with whom you can spend hours talking about the way two boys look at each other. Talented, generous, caring, loving, squeeful, funny, bright, articulate, sexy, wonderful people.

I spent yesterday with [livejournal.com profile] skyblue_reverie and [livejournal.com profile] ennui_blue_lite, and we spent hours talking about fic and fandom, more hours playing Rock Band, ate delicious Indian Buffet for lunch, and then capped off the evening lying on the sofa watching Saved, which is one of my favourite movies of all time. And, yep, it was fandom who brought me these awesome women.

Fandom brought me lots of lovely cards, including, today, from [livejournal.com profile] tiffosis and [livejournal.com profile] deirdre_c. Thank you! ♥

Fandom is also the co-sponsor of yesterday's happy-making: writing.

And fandom brings you places to spread the joy, like this:


More fun than you can have with skinmags and shaving gel!

There is so much fannish love on my flist lately, I have a contact high from it! :-D

Also, I am picking up a fan friend from the train station shortly and I'm SO EXCITED!

*happy happy hugs*

Okay so, weirdest question EVER, but how did you get your text to center properly beneath the image? Everyone else's--including mine--is OFF, and it is driving my wee little OCD heart NUTS. *hangs head in shame*

I only cut and pasted what Jen put in the little box thing. Everyone's--including yours-- is centered properly on my friends' page, so I have no answer to that! :D
 
posted by [identity profile] girlmostlikely.livejournal.com at 10:11pm on 17/12/2008
Hmmm, so did I! And yet, yours is the only one that's showing up properly centered for me. Oh god, I CAN'T STAND IT.

I... had to take out the text and add it separately--NON-CENTERED--below the link pic. *pink*

Can you center other text in your posts, bub? I just scrolled first page but I don't see any examples of that. -smiling- Layouts can actually toggle that on and off for text because they're using those same modules in other locations within the design and being able to utilize that will screw things all to hell. =) If I had to make a very FAST and very DIRTY guess, that'd be it. <3

HAAA. I worked it out!

Nearly all of us who've posted to pimp it haven't put anything else in our entries other than that, so they show up at the very top of the entry. My stylesheet has entry icons on MY journal page and my f-list journal page show up on the right-hand side, with an allowance of 20px or so of whitespace between the icon and any entry text. So what happens when I post your code is, the pic part of the link is offset to the left by 20px, but the next beneath it isn't because it falls BELOW the entry icon area. If that makes sense?! *facepalms*

So there's nothing at all wrong w/ your code or anything like that; it is just me and my bizarre anxiety over things that are not properly aligned. *hangs head*

I haven't had any caffeine yet - can you tell? *g*

-grinning at you- My sister, Sara, my baby... she is ... Ging, I cannot even put a word to it because anal is just too un-anal ENOUGH for this child. If one pixel is out of wack, ONE MEASLEY pixel, the girl will freak and work on it for HOURS until it's right. Everything must be in alignment, everything must be exact, colors, heights, rows, widths, I mean... if it could be OCD'd about, Sara would OCD about it, God love her. =D I totally got what you mean and yeah, makes perfect sense, don't you dare hang head. It's adorable! <3

I told a friend once that I was kinda Type A, and she said, "No, you're Type A Plus." 'Tis true, I'm afraid. *g*

Dear love,

Every day I see your thankful for list, yesterday it was writing, if memory serves and it was my story you were writing and then every day the phone rings or Jer walks in or there's something that drags me away and then you... you go and do this for me, and I don't fucking CARE what's going on. -grin- I don't care if there's an EARTHQUAKE in the MIDDLE OF ILLINOIS in the MIDDLE OF WINTER-- it can wait.

You are one of my ... just, my biggest reasons for _being_ in fandom at all. You are so marvelous that there aren't even words, Sarah.. and those words extend much further than just, "Hi there, you're awesome in fandom." You're so much more to me. I hope you know that, sweetie. <3

You have a wonderful way of making a girl feel special, honey. I am so glad that I make you happy to be here in this fandomy place. And that I bring smiles to your life-place too. For you do that to me.

*loves*

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking here, but I remembered seeing that you had posted your picture here.

I saw [livejournal.com profile] oddment's art post last week and I was going to rec it for [livejournal.com profile] spnroundtable but it seems to have vanished. Do you know if she locked it or deleted it for some reason?
 
posted by [identity profile] rivers-bend.livejournal.com at 01:11am on 20/12/2008
Don't mind at all.

*checks*

It looks like she locked it. I don't know why.

Thanks for checking. Maybe she just wanted to keep it private for the recipients. *^_^*
