Writer's Block: Previously on My Journal

If a friend started reading your journal today, what would you need to fill them in on so they could understand what you're writing about?

Hmmmmm, if it was a friend I know in 'real life', they would know pretty much all that I write about.  If it was an online friend then they could probably get the gist of it all from previous rants/posts.  I'm always open to people asking me questions and I always answer honestly (though in the past I have found that it's not necessarily the best policy cos it bites you on the ass...and that, my friends, is a tale for another time).  I think the most important thing they need to know is that it's MY journal to post as I see fit. 

Your LJ theme/layout.

How important is it to you?  I like simple, dark backgrounds because I can add colour if I so wish.  I really need to sit and sort out something more personal but, it's almost midnight and I have a heavy day ahead...I have to take husband into town to look for a collector's edition of Warhammer Online...oh the joy...when will it start.  So think of me when you're doing nice easy things like housework and I'll post when I get home!
