One would think that a spontaneous week off would be heaven, but hanging around the house (it's not even my house either, it's my mum's) all day with no one around and nothing to do (and nowhere to go!) isn't really high on my list of fun things to do. There's only so much sleep one can get.
God, I never thought I'd hear myself say that.
Anyway, I'm spending post-exam-week with my mum in a nice but somewhat dodgy suburb of Melbourne where we have the occasional power blackouts or escaped convicts (I'm dead serious, although they didn't get very far). Everyone is busy, but thankfully it's Friday so I'll have some company for a few days before I'm thrown head first back into the real world.
In an attempt to relive boredom I decided to make a journal, something I've been meaning to do for a long time. However, as I'm not to familiar with how livejournal works, I'd appreciate any help people can give me. I do write fan fiction in my spare time (which I would be doing now, but my muse ran off), so can anyone tell me how to upload it onto this site? Cheers. 
Also, I'm looking for some good icons and themes to use for my journal. I've got a few icons on my computer back home, but not enough. Does anyone know where I can get some?
