Realm: Popular Culture; Subrealm: Its insidious inevitability

[choco_frosh]

There are some things that I swore that I would never do.

Getting a weblog (why would I want one?) or a cell phone (there are too many of them anyway, landlines are fine, and cell phone towers are ugly) were near the top of the list.
But I'm currently working on getting a cell phone (why is a story in itself...), and as you can see, I've also jumped on the bandwagon and gotten a livejournal account.

I'll be going to NASCAR races and shoppping at Walmart next.

Avoid Wal-Mart at all costs. But welcome!

Thanks! Any advice on how one designs one's blog in a less ugly format would be welcome.
And fear not, I will avoid Walmart. And I don't think they have them in Germany. (yet.)

From the little bar of options (Journal, Manage, Search, Help, About) go to Manage Accounts : Journal Settings and mess around with the options until you get something you can live with. I use Refried Paper, which sounds stupid but looks rather nice and uncomplicated, and most of the prettier options are available only for paid accounts. Look at other people's pages and see what you like?

And I don't think they have them in Germany.

Thank God. Somehow the concept of a German Wal-Mart just scares me.

A German friend of mine worked at a McDonald's in Frankenthal (which I may be spelling drastically wrong) over the summer when she was a teenager. Apparently their little paper hats read, "We Like You!", which I thought was amusingly Germanic in its directness.
