Ow  
It was my best friends sorta birthday party last night and I slept over her house because we were playing D&D and then we watched Return of the Jedi and various music channels until five in the morning.

I also ate too much so now my tummy is making weird noises and it kinda hurts which is bad because I have work to do and I don't feel like doing it and it's taking away my ability to construct proper sentences.

I have a bunch of comments to reply to, I want to convert my graphics journal into a community today which means fooling around with the layout, I have to update the latest stuff in [livejournal.com profile] arbitraryempire which all you lot should join and I also have homework which I really should frelling do otherwise I will be screwed.

Ow.

Oh, and I saw the GOF trailer like everyone else probably has by now.

Is it wrong that I still get excited over it even though there are all these little things that got mucked up? Last night, we were talking about Harry Potter and my friend said she just didn't care anymore and wasn't excited about the book or movie at all because of the way things were changed and how the plot has gone. It's weird because I still really, really like the books and am absolutely dying to read the next one and really, whatever way JKR takes it is fine by me (unless of course, everyone turns massively out of character and there are no commas at all). It's her story that she's telling, and if I were her I would continue to tell that story regardless of what other people thought.

Maybe it's just because I'm an art student and like things visual but I don't mind the movies. Even though they changed the plot and characters a bit, I still really like the movies. I mean, I will still gripe and nit pick things but I am still going to go see the movies and I will still buy the DVDs. And while if the movies stayed truer to the books I would like them more, I still kinda like the flashy changes that they made.

So in conclusion, I am really obsessed with Harry Potter and it looks like things are going to stay that way.

Hmm yea, I agree with. Even though everything has changed esp damned Hermione (damn Kloves) I still enjoy watching it. Still looking forward to it.

I talked to a friend the other day while we were placing our reservations for the HP book, and she said that she's hoping the next book will be better. While I was kinda appalled at the word better, it was a superficial kinda appalation because I know that people have been saying OotP wasn't as great as they had expected.

Bla bla bla got to run actually. Will continue later. If cbb.

My hubby likes the books and he will watch the movies, but he hasn't seen all of them. He has one more to read and then the next one that is about to come out. I'm gonna try and preorder it for him but I can't this month. Doesn't it come out it June, I can't remember.

I have to ask somebody and you've always been a big help, so can you tell me how to place a header image at the top of my LJ page? I have the Component S2 layout.
[identity profile] mithborien.livejournal.com on May 10th, 2005 04:39 pm (UTC)
Okay, because your using a paid account style, I don't know if this will work. I know how to add a header to a free account style and I am assuming it will for a paid account style.

From what I can see, it looks like you have only altered the colours of the component style. You haven't made any major changes to the code, right? Because I am pretty sure with a paid account you add a header image by creating a new style and so forth.

However, the way I do it and this should work regardless, is to use overrides. You know how to use overrides, right?

In [livejournal.com profile] howto there is a tutorial explaining how to add a background image (http://www.livejournal.com/users/howto/8885.html) and then shift the journal contents downward (http://www.livejournal.com/users/howto/14978.html) so you can see the image.

Now I also noticed you have a background image which you won't be able to use if you use the above overrides. So if you do actually want to keep your background and add a header as well then I hopefully this tutorial will help (http://www.livejournal.com/community/overridehelp/312794.html). I haven't actually used that one so I have no clue.

So hopefully all that helps you :D
