just curious...

You know how some people on LJ always use a smaller font size, or a different color, or center their text or whatever--not just for posts but also for comments?  How do they do that?  I mean, I know you can mock it up with HTML tags, but do they really take the time to type out HTML tags every time they make a comment?  There's no rich text setting for comments as far as I can tell. It seems like it'd be a huge pain to break out the HTML constantly just so you can be seen as a speshul snowflake. Is there some "annoying pre-teen* mode" you can enable in the LJ control panel so that all your comments have unique special formatting?

*no offense intended to all the preteens in the world that actually have good judgment

I want to answer this in pink, blinky font, with some centering and some marquee, but I am totally not that bored at this moment. ;)

I don't know. But I just wanted to say that it's weird to see the timestamps on your posts in Pacific time, because that's not where I think of you as being.

That's not always where I think of myself as being either! A few weeks ago I was trying to calculate what time it was in some other country and I kept being way off. Then I realized I was basing my calculations on GMT -5 instead of GMT -8.

I imagine some of the standalone LJ programs can accomplish default obnoxiousness. ;)

I didn't realize there were standalone programs for reading/commenting. That would explain it, though.
