decompressing

And how.
The sprog is settled in for the night, and now I sprawl all over my sofa.

This is only my second post and as I'm pretty darn sure I've got exactly one person checking on it -
and Starlet is possibly the warmest, most welcoming person I've met online as yet.

I still have no idea how to go about this live journal thingy. No idea how to cut tag, no idea how to link, or upload icons.
Is there a store somewhere?
Anyway, I'm going to be making mistakes and hopefully I won't run roughshod over people and feelings. But at heart I'm a babbler and random things go through my head, so it's damned nice having a place to put it.
I should mention I'm a shipper in most circumstances. In fact, I recall dimly trying to ship Jerry and Elaine the few times I watched Seinfeld in the '90s. So I enjoy talking about my 'ships, both past ones and the ones I'm going down with:). However, I'm not the kind that expects happy endings, or even want them with some couples, and I'm not into declarations of undying love. I'm more into showing the love through actions and subtle glances. I don't bash other 'ships and though there are those characters I wish never to lay eyes on again, I don't bash characters - just choices and behavior.
I just wish I'd done this three years ago during the height of my fangirl love.
Ta for now.
