1. AWESOME layout. I love it! Hunny-kun is my favorite, but the twins are a close second. ;)
2. I have a paid account (plus the add-on userpics). I was very iffy about investing the money, but I finally decided about six months ago that I wasn't planning on leaving livejoural and it was worth it to me. I really love all the user pics; I love the comment editing feaure; and I love the fact that there are no ads. I'm glad I finally got a paid, and I know that I'll renew when it comes time! Most of this is an echo of what people above me have said, but I hope it is of some help in your decision.
