My fangirling continues. I have made fangirling posts in a community. For most of you, that's within the realm of normal, but I really don't post to comms about anything. Too scary. Even when I was a support vol and it was normal to post to [livejournal.com profile] helpscreening and social comms and suchlike, I just... rarely ever could. I have perhaps not quite absorbed the 'community' bit of 'community', and think of comms as cold arenas where watchers lurk, ready to strip me of all pretensions if I am not utterly utterly relevant. In my journal, people choose to listen to me. In comms, they're there for... the stuff that's posted. By other people. Right?

Of course this particular comm is just a fun new one for some friends, and has temporarily been repurposed as the "[personal profile] midwintersong and [personal profile] phoenix squee over Tokio Hotel, with some approval from [personal profile] fae" comm. But still. comm! Yay. Semi-public fansquee! Yay. Being irritating in my fangirling? Yay! (deal.)

I reposted them to my DW to have a record of my fangirlism. [post one] [post two] Probably next week I'll look back and boggle at myself. ;)

And um, oh yes, it occurs to me this might be relevant. I had an exam today! It went well, I'm confident about it. Now just three more to go.

It's perfectly normal fangirl behaviour, don't worry! (Perhaps in a few months you'll be thinking "Why the hell do I have boyband videos on my portable music player", like me)

I don't participate in fan communities mainly because I'm somehow possessive of my fandom and I don't like sharing in the midst of my obsession. You have all these other people with their different opinions and interpretations and god forbid they actually start roleplaying your favorite characters in a way you don't like - aaarghh! Obviously this applies less to bands but man, nobody get near my KOTOR. You have all these girls calling themselves Revan but acting like River Tam - OOC much?

ANYWAY. Fangirling is fun. ;D Good luck on the rest of your exams!

Darling, I need your help. I imported a lj layout and I am using some css from the person who did the css for my LJ, which I've made various mods to. My user page (deviant.dreamwidth.org) looks fine, but my friends page looks really wonky. Why?!? :(

Oh, I think I know what's wrong! DW doesn't have a 'friends page' like LJ and that's reflected in S2, so styles that make explicit reference to 'friends' need to have it replaced with 'read'. [site community profile] dw_styles explains how to fix this. If you run into bother with it, I'll hopefully be able to help -- I haven't actually done this update myself, but it looks like it just requires searching for the 'friends' text and replacing it with 'read', if appropriate.
