Did I fall asleep?

Today is Treatment Day! Haha, I always feel kind of weirdly Dollhouse-ish about it, like Echo being all, "I enjoy my treatments!" But I actually kinda do, lol. I mean, I recline in a chair and relax while they pump drugs into me for three hours. Sure, there's some poking with needles, but I'm used to that by now, and sometimes I get to take a nap! Like today, because I don't get any sleep at night when I'm all anxiety-ified. :-P

Ugh. Then I got to work and I discovered that they changed the website we use for online advocacy, when I tried to log into the old website and it wouldn't let me log in. Apparently, this happened a month ago, and no one bothered to tell me, even though I'm the one who sends out the advocacy emails. And now our stupid IT staff won't give me an admin account for the new website because they're territorial jackasses. Motherfucking hell, would you just let me DO MY JOB?

So... yeah. There goes all my serenity from the nice, calming treatment.

Anyway, how about another TV meme? Even though I just did one, because I'm obsessive about my TV watching schedule and I'd make a whole list anyway. Snagged from eilowyn:

Check out TV Guide's Fall TV Schedule (the list of premiere dates is also helpful), and do a night-by-night account of what you'll be watching, with Red meaning "never miss it unless immediate family is giving birth (and then I'll commandeer the TV in the hospital room)," Purple meaning "yes, I know I should be caught up already! I'm trying!" Black meaning "kinda keep up with it, may marathon or Netflix it, but otherwise meh," and Blue meaning "new show I'll be checking out if the buzz from the f-list is good."

LJ Questions

So, today I got the big "your paid account will expire in 5 days" email from LJ. *flails*

I am very much not regretting leaving LJ, nor do I anticipate ever moving back there full-time. However, I did want to keep my journal there for posterity or whatever, and so I am trying to sort out what will happen to my paid features once it expires. Anyone who has reverted back to a basic account from a paid one, I would appreciate it if you'd chime in with your knowledge. :)

1. Userpics - If I understand correctly, I can either manually delete the ones I don't want, or leave it to chance and all but my 15 most recently used userpics will go bye-bye (I'm also letting my extra icon packages expire). However, the keyword thing still works, right? So if one gets deleted and I decide later I want it back, it'll reappear on the posts that have that icon keyword, is that how it works?

2. ScrapBook Photo Hosting - I paid the price for being lazy on this one. I'd been uploading a lot of my pics to ScrapBook instead of taking the extra step and putting them on Photobucket, which means that they'll all be deleted when the account expires. I spent one whole evening uploading everything to Photobucket and replacing the links. (Unfortunately, I forgot to change the "link to" link, so while the pictures should still appear where they're supposed to, you won't be able to click to view them at Photobucket, lol. Oh, well, y'all will just have to live with that.) I think I got everything, but if you're ever browsing my LJ for whatever reason and you see a missing graphic, let me know and I'll fix the link.

3. Journal Style and Customization - Obviously, I'm using a custom layout. My understanding is that it'll stay up as long as I don't make any changes to it... which isn't likely to happen, so everything should stay as is. I think. Reassurance on this one would be appreciated, lol.

4. Polls - What will happen to my polls when the account expires? Is it like the icons, and they'll disappear, or is it like the layout, where it will stay until I try to edit the post or something? (Unfortunately, importing to DW won't save them, because those entries just link back to the LJ entry instead of displaying the poll.)

5. Custom Mood Theme - Again, what will happen to the custom mood theme I'm currently using? I'm assuming the ones I've uploaded but am NOT using will disappear.

The polls are the thing I'm most concerned about, since that's actual post content potentially being lost, but then again, it's not like I'm a polling fiend like gabrielleabelle or anything, so it's not enough of a loss to want to pay $20 just to save a handful of polls. In a perfect world, of course, I'd like to have more icons and a custom mood theme, but they're just nice personalized touches that I don't need on a secondary account.

I'm kinda "meh" about having ads again. I bought a paid account so quickly (only a couple weeks after I opened the journal) that I don't even remember having ads, but hopefully, I won't be on LJ enough for it to bother me.

Anything else I've forgotten?
