This journal is locked, at least partially. I have added filters to my f-list just because I want to know who reads my entries.

There will still be public posts from time to time.

Okay technically, it's 1am for me now so it's the day after my non posting anniversary ;)

So I think that I am going to get a paid account again but I can't find a layout that I really like and it's driving me nuts.

When my old computer crashed I lost tons of stuff like pictures, icons, banners, videos and softwares like Photoshop *hints, hints for Petitevanou and puppy eyes for good measure* (I am might be a tiny bit arrogant there because I never really mastered Photoshop but I had fun playing with it).

I checked a few communities to get back in the "game" but most of them won't friend you if your lj has been inactive for too long or if we don't have common friends. So what I am supposed to do when a) I had no computer and no internet access for more than a year and b) even if I registered to a lot of forums or communities, I usually lurk because I never know what to post and English is not my first language and I am always afraid to post something stupid (I know almost all of my posts here are in English but it's for Sarah because she can't speak French...yet ;) ).

I supposed that I should go to bed now, the lack of sleep is not helping.

So I missed my second or third non posting anniversary (I am too tired and too lazy to check which one, sorry) so happy non posting anniversary lj.

I know that I celebrated my first "no posting" birthday yesterday but after I got a comment from Van *waves*, I thought that I should post something. Yes it's another rant, but after the bad news I got this morning, I am entitled to rant.

So after the Tax Office sent me a later 2 weeks ago telling me that I owed them 2.400 euros and I found out last week that my former employer told them that they had paid me more than 20.000 euros in 2004 (I wish!) I am still waiting for a letter from them with the real amount of money I was paid to give to the Tax office and hopefully, I shouldn't have to pay those 2.400 euros.

The icing on the cake are the news we got this morning, my manager and her boss told us that we will have to go work in Covigny, it's 30km from here and there is no bus or train to go there. It means that only 1 person is happy to go there and the rest of us (8 persons) will be jobless in april. I sure have a good luck.

/End of the rant.

Okay, it's been a year since my last post so I thought that I should celebrate. Happy no posting anniversary to me.

See you next year.

Not really happy with this one, it looks unfinished IMO.

I did 2 new icons, okay it's the same icon with different text. I liked them both so I saved the two of them:

Cursed


Ein Engel

I have found a few nice bases, maybe I'll be inspired again.

Look at the icon at the top of my post, I just had to have it.

I know, I need a life.
