Two weeks' paid time ...

... available to free accounts, if I'm reading this news post right.  The relevant bits say: 

Free Paid Account Trial!

We're pleased to announce an easy way to get acquainted with the benefits of a LiveJournal Paid Account! All free users are invited to participate in a free, two-week Paid Account trial. Simply click here to enroll, and you can:

* Enjoy an ad-free environment
* Dress up your posts with 30 userpics
* Choose from hundreds of premium journal styles
* Get LiveJournal Stats and Google Analytics!
* Edit comments, create personal notes, post polls, get more storage, try voiceposting, and more!

If you decide to upgrade your account to a full Paid Account during or after the trial, you'll keep all of your new settings. If you don't upgrade, your account will revert to its previous settings, although some settings will be retained in case you decide to upgrade in the future (such as uploaded userpics and any Notes you've created). Just a final note: You cannot purchase add-ons (either userpics or storage space) during the course of the free trial. We look forward to hearing what you think!

Blah blah, LJ, but two weeks of extra icons might be relevant to our interests. (Sorry if everyone already knew! We now return you to your regularly-scheduled shenanigans.)
