I am not especially good with plants. Though I've had my spider plants with me since my parents moved out west over two years ago, they are spider plants and perhaps the most resilent plant species I have ever met. I was given some rubber plants (the second hardest house plant to kill) when I moved in to this apartment and over the course of last year, one of them died altogether. Rubber plants are sort of like cactus, because they hold their own water, so they are really easy to take care of.

Well, a family friend brought me a real, honest to goodness, flowering plant two weeks ago. (Clearly a mistake), but I've been really good with it. Not only has it grown taller, but it's bloomed these lovely red flowers. I've been watering it. I've been awesome with it!

When I woke up this morning, the plant - pot and all - were scattered all over my living room floor. I can't for the life of me sort out how it managed to fall. The plate it was sitting on is still quite intact and well positioned on the mantle. But the now-broken pot, the soil, and the plant are all over the floor.

Truly, I have a black thumb. Even if I don't kill them through neglect, they start jumping off their perches just to get away from me.

Edit: Aaaaand in my efforts to re-pot the plant in the now dried-out soil, I've succeeded in over-watering it really awfully terribly. I have no clue how to fix it without buying more soil.

Which mood theme community?

[akeyoftime.livejournal.com]

You're going to have to look, I'm afraid :S

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

...there are like, 200 of them or something.

OH! I know what we can do!

Could you go into your journal style, go to the mood theme, and then go to view it? And send me the link? I can copy it from there.

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

Even better! I think that once I have one link I should be able to get them all. So you don't have to do anything ^_^

*goes to work on this*

Right. So that idea worked for a fair amount, but I can't seem to get all the moods to appear ;_;

So yeah, back to my second option of giving me the link in your journal to the mood theme (like this one of my current one: http://www.livejournal.com/moodlist.bml?moodtheme=146542&ownerid=2035565)
