3 things: BLTs, writing, and LJ woes

edenfallingWhat I did tonight:
1. Ate a BLT sandwich for dinner. This is something I only do now and then on account of my food allergies -- I can get away with eating a couple slices of raw tomato very occasionally, provided I take a Benadryl first. Which also means I never do that for lunch, since then I'd be going back to work while fighting what might as well be a sleeping pill. But oh man, BLTs are delicious.
2. Wrote 300 words of the Hinata fic, which seems to be set when the gang are in their mid-thirties. So that will make three fics in the summer camp and politics AU, each spaced about 12-13 years apart.
3. Changed my LJ style over to S2 and kicked at it a little until it kinda sorta maybe-if-you-squint resembles a stripped bare shadow of my DW style (which is itself pretty damn minimalist). I would like, if possible, to kick LJ further until I can get my comments page to look the way it used to instead of the ugly and less functional version they rolled out in December, but I have a terrible suspicion that would require paying the site money, which, ugh, no. I bought paid time on DW because this site actually cares about user opinions, but I don't want to invest in a site that seems to take pleasure in kicking users around.
(It is possible that someone with more computer programming knowledge than I possess (i.e., any at all) might be able to produce a workaround without throwing money at LJ -- apparently I have an option to add customized CSS to my style sheet or something? -- but I would not have the faintest idea where to start on that project. *sadface* I really ought to look into learning CSS one of these days...)
