"I want more, and I know I shouldn't"

[lumy12]

DAAAAAAAAANG how would I ever have survived with only 50 userpics? LiveJournal recently upped the allotted amount to 100 for paid accounts, and guess what - I already have 90 of those spots taken. And it's not like I'm ganking icons left and right from every post out there. There are plenty that are kinda cool but I pass on them, only taking 1 or 2 of my favorites from the batch.

I'M AN ICON WHORE!!!!

If only LJ would up the allowance to 200.... that would be the bee's knees....

I'm thinking I should create another account (a free one) just to store (in regular posts) the icons that I'm rotating, so I don't lose track of who made what.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Woe is me, I have such huge problems in life, I know :)

I always thought I couldn't handly more than 3 icons. Than a friend bought me 2 months of paid account and I was totally happy with my 15. Then that same friend thought that I could use some more and bought me extra userpics. I was totally overwhelmed. How on earth should I handle 50 icons??? Now look at my account. I've got 98 uploaded and I am biting my nails to decide which ones will fill the last 2 spots. ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT FOR ICONS *PANICS*

I know the pain! I have more leeway than you do.
So are you going to *gasp* DELETE SOME? I've already deleted a couple crappy ones that I made... the ones that are left are there for a reason, I don't want to delete them.

*sigh* So rotating it will be....

Yeah, I already had to delete some... but it makes my heart bleed every single time. So I go through my huge icon folder on my computer to comfort me every now and then.

I have 3. I can't have any more. But I want more. Everyone has cool icons, and mine are all... me. I'm not paying for an account though, I already pay for my own domain name.

But having so many pics at your dispoasal is SO COOL. Think of all the "birds" you could put on there. So Natalie is a bird... but fugly chicks are also birds? That doesn't seem right... (continuing from your LJ)

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

you say fugly chick, I say fugly bird. Basically just substitute chick for bird and you're there.

Natalie is a fit bird.

Yeah, if she had watched my Closer DVD, she could've realized that (use of the word "bird" by Brits). But no, it's all HAYDEN HAYDEN HAYDEN, she's a silly Stad. She needs to quit watching SW and HP and watch more Nat flicks. Priorities, people.

So this comment is also, like, a direct order for her to watch Closer NOW! You don't remember it anymore! Blasphemous! How many more obnoxious exclamation marks can I add! That was a question and I didn't even punctuate it properly! I am going mad and it's all Stad's fault for not remembering Closer!

Aha, so you HAVE been to my LJ :)
Of course I remember Closer! It's Anywhere but Here that I don't remember, silly! They never said "bird" in Closer though or I'd remember. Yeah.

And, FYI, I haven't watched ANY OTHER STAR WARS MOVIE BESIDES ROTS SINCE LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!!! Shame on me. After I watch the last Harry Potter I shall revert back to my SW ways....

Sweet!!!! I haven't seen that one before, thanks for putting it here on my LJ for all posterity :)

Poor Anakin... I just want to give him a cookie... that reminds me, time to change the background on this computer, my bro has had his Natalies up for long enough....

LMAO IRL!!!! HAHAHHHA, PRICELESS! XD

[chiss.livejournal.com]

I only have three. :( LOL

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I pity you. I don't know how I survived with 3 before. But that was before I joined all the come-steal-my-spiffy-new-icons type communities.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you were planning on rotating icons?? LOL...now you just dump them. You don't even update your dump post anymore, right? I haven't gotten to it yet, but I think I've read that on your icon page.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I know, I fail! I DID rotate this one here with some other similar ones for a while, because someone was kind enough to make me a whole slew of them and I wanted them all to get used! But I have since become very lazy about such things. I would go back and fetch holiday icons again sometimes, but even then I tended to want to find new different ones... so I abandoned the idea. I think I have the icon post privatized. But it doesn't need to be. I'll go unprivatize so you can comment. Ha!
