*takes a bow*  Yes, I'm all growed up.  I finally have a paid account.  Do you like it?  Is it shiny?  does it float your collective boats?

I'm going to be farting around in here, figuring out how to set things up, post pictures, etc...  I chose the "moron" setting, as far as customizing goes.  I assume I can always go back and change it, if I'm feeling more confident some time in the distant future.  For now, I'm wanting to find a way to customize the link for "comments down there... *points down there*.  I'm thinking something fun, like "all skate!"  or "put on your boogie shoes!" or just plain "get funky".  

These are the ponderables I'm pondering today.

And hey, as long as I'm in a good mood,  I think I'll share some of my hard-earned wisdom.  

This is my system for eating Bite Size Frosted Mini-Wheat cereal;  first, Do No Harm.   Milk is an integral part of the equation, and yet milk is detrimental to the integrity of the cereal.  Soggy Mini Wheats are not only mushy and gross, they also lose their frosted-ness!  You might as well eat a bowl full of milky wheat mush with sugar dissolved in it...yuk!    A connundrum!  I've ascertained that the only viable method which preserves the inherent crunchiness of  Bite Size Frosted Mini-Wheats is to delay the introduction of the milk for as long as possible.  This is impossible, due to the fact that once milk is poured into a bowl full of dry Mini-Wheats, breakdown ensues almost immediately.  The answer?  Pour a bowl of milk first.  Keep the entire box of cereal on hand.  Much experimentation is neccessary, to arrive at the correct portioning level of milk.  Once that is achieved, cereal portioning occurs as a natural event (when you're out of milk, stop eating).  Introduce small amounts of the cereal into the bowl of cold milk.  Eat immediately, but at a normal pace, so as to enjoy optimal crunchiness in an unhurried fashion.  I find, for myself, that about four or five Bite Size Mini Wheats at a time is the optimal amount, and can be eaten in a leisurely fashion without becoming soggy.  As the level of milk decreases, you might want to be more conservative with your cereal introduction as milk remains the integral factor and without it you're only eating dry cereal with a spoon (and that would be weird!). 

You can all thank me later.

Just go to 'customize journal' under the 'manage' option (depending on what browsing system you've got)...if the layout you've chosen supports it, it'll let you change the words under the 'text' section of the customize area.

If you have any trouble, let me know and I'll be more exact. LJ recently changed their customize area so it looks really different now and I wasn't very specific, there :) But you can probably figure it out all on your own :)

Hee! Thanks! I customized (see?) and I'm having a TON of fun in here. I've already changed my layout/colors twice...it's addictive. I think I'll stick with this neutral thingy I've found, because some of the dark color combinations seem nice in theory but in practice they make my eyes hurt. Really light text on really dark backgrounds are hard to reads, IMO.

That is an AWESOME system! I was just eating Frosted Mini Wheats this morning and wondering how to make 'em stop turning into mush. You are a guru of cereal *bows*

w00t! Paid member! you are on of us, now ^_____________^

I'm a freak when it comes to weird eating habits. Ask me sometime (in the future...after you've recovered from the anal retentive-ness of my cereal eating habits)about the way I eat fried eggs with bacon. My ex used to laugh himself into choking fits every time I ate eggs in front of him...yes it's that bad. What?! What are you looking at?? *staaare*

Hee! Yes, I am now one of the Illuminati...Illiteratti...whatever. I expect to be properly hazed, with a cyber-pantsing and/or cyber-swirlies. Perhaps you can cyber TP my lj...

I MUST hear about this egg thing. It's a matter of life and death that my curiosity be satiated!

And I SO want to figure out some way to TP a LJ. That would be awesome!

Ah see, I like the frosty mini wheats to get soft, that way they won't stab my gums with their stick like wheatiness.

Sounds like your managing fairly well with your paid account. Once you get the hang of it, it's not too hard to work out.

Oh! Good point (about the stabitty nature of mini-wheats). Captain Crunch is the worst offender, in my opinion. You can sand blast a whole layer of skin off the roof of your mouth if you're not careful with those things!

Yeah, I'm slowly figuring things out. I need to just quit playing with the "comments" text, I think. I'm imagining that "get funky!" is cute if you're in a good mood...but what if your entry is sad? "Grandma died today...it was horribly sad...:-( Get funky!" See? It's ridiculous.

I don't eat that much cereal (the milk hurts my stomach) so I can't remember what Captain Crunch was like. I do know that my jaws get really tired of knawing on those blasted mini wheats. Although they're tasty, they do nothing for my TMJ.

Hee hee, I'm too lazy to personalize my comment links.
