There is still no cure for the common birthday

[lucysaxon]

Today's name change was brought to you by the letter 'c'. Thanks chamekke! ♥

I actually did it. I changed my name again. It's not going to happen again because I'm not playing the game of "I wonder what Lucy's LJ account name is going to be this week is." I'm bound to confuse and annoy people as it is so cheers.

Another layout change but the orgasm of colour was kept (Didn't I tell you I'd end back up with black?) so yay for that. I'm a bit in love with the colour actually although I really miss the sidebar I used to have. Smooth Sailing has the most amazing sidebar full stop (this be flexible squares). New header. Enjoy it (or don't) since the bloody thing has taken hours to do and it's still not quite right to me but before you tell me I should probably start from scratch, it's only the details I'm not quite sure about and the ones no one but me will notice most likely.

Birthday was a total bust. I was better off sleeping it away like I planned to do instead of waiting until last night to cry myself to sleep. I do want to thank chamekke for the lovely birthday name change, silvermoon_06 for the wonderful virtual gift I woke up to (it was a lovely way to start the day) and last but not least, talkingtothesky, because I really needed that hug from the elephant. Good on you for letting Gene write the message on my birthday card, at least it didn't get soppy. ♥

I want to say that I love your new name, and this new layout is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours, and the pictures in the header, and all the Master references! It is truly spectacular! It is just so striking, I cannot stop staring at it! You could almost say that it is really quite...hypnotizing, and I'm sure the Master loves to hear that, eh? :D

I'm sorry that the birthday was a bust, sweetie, I really am, sometimes they can be a picky pain; but I'm glad that you liked the virtual gift, it was my way of saying thanks for the fic! You're very welcome. :D Thanks again for everything. :D

Thank you so much. I'm glad the layout was worth the annoying effort since the header was getting worse the more I tweaked it after a while so I reverted back to an earlier version. The scary thing is, I still have the project open in Photoshop, with intentions of still not calling it done. I'm hopeless. :p

I needed the time in Photoshop though since it served as a nice distraction and it's been far too long since I've done anything truly 'awesome' in Photoshop. Lately it's a quick 5 minute rush job (particularly with the watchalong graphics for lifein1973) so yes, I'm vaguely proud of it. My best friend thinks it's one of the best things I've done "and that's saying something"(I really wouldn't go that far but thanks Han) and I just realised I'm doing that rambling thing I tend to do so moving on...

I loved it actually. Not used to gifts at all so it's always a complete shock on the rare occasions I get them. Especially since the people I thanked in my post are the only ones who did anything for me for my birthday. Even my family couldn't really be arsed. Anyway, rambly thing again I'm sorry :/
Thank you again, truly. For both the gift and the wonderful comments about my fic. ♥

Congratulations on the name change, it works beautifully. And I'm so glad you put the tokens to good use. That's what prezzies are for!

Your blog looks fantastic and I love the contrast of the black and the saturated colours; it really pops. Plus, your banner makes John Simm look even more gorgeous than usual - if that's even possible. I approve :-)

I'm sorry that your birthday was a disappointment, but hope that the little kindnesses you received helped to make up for it just a bit. Birthdays should be banned, don't you think? {{{hugs}}}

I was partially worried you would be disappointed since you're the one who made me decide on sammyboy in the first place. I do wish I'd actually changed it on my birthday, rather than the next day since it would have given me something instead of "spent it lonely and crying" when asked what I did for my birthday. :/

Thank you very much. I've always been obsessed with making my journal look pretty. I used to change layouts more often than I actually posted.

They really should and yes it really did. Especially since Simon was being a complete wanker and is the reason I cried myself to sleep. (((((hugs)))))

I miss you and we don't get to talk very much anymore. I've been the only one in the chatroom at all lately. It's completely died. :(
