Awwww, poor B! Wow, has it been a year of A-ticket LJ-ness already? It reminds me of that Britcom "Keeping Up Appearances" where the heroine would do ANYTHING to seem a member of the successful upper class, including (as luck would have it) renting a part of a mansion... if only a TIIINY apartment at the very tippity top!
So now I guess you have a conundrum on your hands, trying to be parsimonious with your icons and such... At least you seemed to make good use of them while you had them! And like you say, you'll one day soon hopefully be in a position to pick it back up!
