a love story for the ages
It was my four year LJ anniversary last week. Wow, time goes by fast. Just yesterday, I was primping for my first “date“, choosing my words ever so carefully, wondering if LJ and I would forge a lasting relationship. We drifted apart those first few months, time creating a wedge, but slowly, I was drawn back to LJ’s charisma and listening ear and we’ve been steady every since. *smooches LJ*
Linen, btw, is the traditional gift for the 4 year anniversary. Or flowers. I would accept both from my adoring readers.
On a related note, permanent accounts go on sale tomorrow. Each time, I’m tempted and then talk myself out of it. I calculated it out. Between my paid account and my user pics, I’ve easily spent more than $150 dollars in my 4 years here. I could, you know, go back to the basic account, with a basic layout and 3 user pics, but uh, I’m kinda addicted. It’s my place. My friends are here. My life is preserved here. But then there’s that “forever commitment” that putting down the money entails. And what if one day, LJ and I part our separate ways, that we no longer have anything in common and all we do is bicker? And what if I decide that 138 userpics isn’t nearly enough to express myself and I go looking for greener pasture.
Or maybe I’m just a commitment phobe. 🙂 Maybe LJ and I should just run off together into the sunset, and I should just stop worrying what the next day or year or lifetime will bring?
Decisions. So many decisions. My mind would be eased with flowers….

First of all, many congratulations to you and LJ on 4 years together. You had your doubts, but you crazy kids made it work. 😉
And I wish you hadn’t said anything about permanent account. lol. I didn’t know anything about it. Now I’m debating getting one. On the one hand, it costs $30 a year to have a paid account with extra user pics and it’d be nice to just make a one time payment and have those features for good and not have to pay annually. But on the other hand, the idea of shelling out $150 all in one go, even if it might save money in the end, just seems too much. I don’t wanna see $150 on my credit card right now, I just paid it off. lol But I’m worried that if I don’t spend it now, I’m gonna regret it later.
Gah! Too difficult to choose!

I’m wondering about getting a permanent account, too. Meh. I don’t really have the money, but U. said he’d give it to me. But what with making an lj book of each year, I am not in danger of losing anything of what I said, so I don’t really need a permanent account. *sigh*

You’re silly! LOL!
Regarding the permanent account, look at it this way. If you get a permanent account, and decide to divorce LJ after 4 more years, you’ll still have gotten your money’s worth. So, really, you don’t have to think of it as a LIFETIME commitment, but as an additional 4-year commitment.
HAHA.
That said, I can’t decide either… but I don’t think I’ll be getting one. I’ve become too sporadic with this thing.

I could find no flowers, nor linen, on my current harddrive, though I did find something that made me think of you:
Hmm… <3 (I still don't know how to make those perfectly shaped heart things with the stroke of keys. I always have to copy and paste them from an email I saved a long while back. And they're pasting into a weird shape here. Stupid thing.)
Maybe LJ and I should just run off together into the sunset
Well, thank goodness that, as of four years ago, at least you have the ring all picked out.
This comment (and your other to my first entry) was just emailed to me! 🙁
Darling Elise, you are wonderful! *hugs* This just made my day.
And yes, it is a good thing I’ve picked out my ring!!
*tight squeezes*

Frank the Goat is being a lazy procrastinator, it seems. Many times, I see instances of people not getting their comments at all! It’s sad.
But I’m glad you got it eventually, and that it could make your day. *big hugs*
