You can gift yourself with a subscription. One of the reasons that the gift subscription feature was added was to give people a way of subscribing themselves for a block of months when they weren't able to use the normal subscription method because of an international paypal bug.

If you already have a subscription, you can cancel it and start a new one. You won't lose any of the time remaining on your original subscription.
