Actually - more userpics was more or less the sole reason why I took a paid account. *sheepish look* Well, apart from the ability to edit posts, which comes in handy sometimes, but that was really all. :)
Also, now that I think of it: Livejournal is doing some kind of holiday promotion where they give every paid user a number of coupons to pass out to people. I still have all of mine (forgot all about them, in fact) and I'm not sure how long they'll remain valid, but the notice says "a coupon can be redeemed to purchase an annual subscription for $9.95 (instead of $19.95) or monthly installments totaling $15 (instead of $25)." If you're still tempted, $10 is a much more reasonable price to pay for 20 extra icons - isn't it? *g* So if you'd want one, give me a yell and I'll send it right over! It's just a single click. :)
Albert is a sweetie in that pic! :) Also, I love that he has this kind of tic where he always fidgets at the fingers of his hand, like in the icon. Smoker's habit, I guess - or as if he's fiddling with a wedding ring that's no longer there. It makes him look so fragile. *g* But honestly - I don't know why it is that my favorite characters are either directly or indirectly mass murderers (Londo? Ben Linus?) or damaged in some way. Lucky that doesn't translate itself into real life. :)
Thanks for the reassurance about the Londo/G'Kar. And don't worry, I wouldn't force myself to work on it if I really didn't feel like it. It's only that I don't want to leave it lying around now it's 90% finished, because then I'm sure I'll forget what I wanted to do with the other 10%, and it will just be one of those everlasting WIPs which I've so far managed to avoid. :)
