burgle

i was talking in crim today, and i referred to some kids going up to burgle a house.

the entire class laughed at me, and i even laughed at myself for a bit.

but, i was sure it was a word.

so, i consulted my good friend merriam-webster after class--and she vindicated me.

burgle is, in fact, a synonym for burglarize.

and it's a lot more fun to say.

to whore myself off for userpics, or not to whore myself off for userpics?

this is an lj-only post, as it would make absolutely no sense whatsoever on blogger.

livejournal just instituted a new level, the sponsored+ level. it's attractive because i get a gig of photo hosting space (useful for if i ever want to post a picture of myself, or post a file of some sort...), and i'd get fifteen userpics instead of six.

i'm uneasy, in a sense, about adding ads, but that's not particularly founded, since there are google text ads on my blogger, which i've had for longer anyway. the addition of ads wouldn't particularly affect me, since i would not see them. mozilla adblock is a wonderful thing...i have seen nary an ad on the internet since last fall.

basically, what i'm getting to, is...dear readers, what should i do here? the userpics and the file hosting are really tempting. it wouldn't affect me personally, since i have Best Ad Blocker Ever. but, i don't want you all to get barraged by ads from reading my livejournal. would you see the ads? would you not? would you like to teleport here and slap me for even considering the shiny, shiny userpics?
