GIP and Why I love my brother: Example... I lost count ^^;

[soc_puppet]

...So. Tomas is re-playing Kingdom Hearts. This is good, because it helps me get my angsty bishounen fix in without actually playing the game for myself. He was also being annoying and ordering me to fetch him a glass of water before he would let me see Cloud again ;_; This was not nice, but I don't mind so much now, as what he said when I got downstairs again was totally worth it ♥

Anyway, I come back downstairs and Tomas has it paused right before the trio's fight with Cerberus. It's paused on a picture of Hercules with Cloud hoisted over his shoulder in a fireman's carry. Herc's hand is in a somewhat compromising position.
Tomas: Well, Herc's going to have a hard time explaining this one!
Me: XD! Love!

Going to squeeze a few more things into this post ^_^ First, went on a bit of an icon-making spree today. Made three Izumi-sensei icons ♥ and this one. And I would just like to say that whoever gets the reference in the icon gets a fic or a pic from yours truly. ...I'm tempted to say 'first person only', but that wouldn't be fair, as some of you live in different time zones. So I'll just go by the honor system and trust that no one reads the comments first. Or screen 'em. Or something.

Second, does anyone in the audience know how to make animated icons? Or know someone who knows how? Because I would be willing to trade fic and/or pic for either lessons or an animated icon to specifications--for the messenger too, if it's know-someone-who-knows. So, um, help? Please?

More with the assuming you have imageready because you have photoshop and them usual coming bundled:

Okay, assuming I have imageready... how would I go about finding it?

[tiralmo.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I have Photoshop 7.0 and there's just a button at the bottom of the main toolbar to jump to imageready. It also gives a hotkey: ctrl+shift+m. Also, you should just be able to open imageready from the same place you open photoshop (unless you created an extra photoshop shortcut or deleted the imageready one; in that case you should look at where the shortcut points (right click -> properties -> start in:) and look in that folder)

Alas, I have it not ;_; *sigh* I only have 5.0 ToT I checked anyway, but it wasn't there *is sad*

I don't know if you remember this (is not, you can check the Message Archive in Yahoo Messenger), but I think I mentioned that one time.

...It was the time I misspelled "wore" with "whore" when talking about Herc and Cerberus ^.^;;

...I think I remember that ^.^ Ah, good times...

Just a thought:

If our online chats are all like this, imagine how it would be if we talked in real life! ^.^;;

Also: Any luck getting a microphone(sp?) for an Audio chat sometime?

[soc_puppet]

...Come to think of it...

You know, I might actually have one lying around the house. I'll have to dig around for it, but there's hope.

[mistressoffoxes.livejournal.com]

Cool! ^.^

I might have to do a little "sweet talking"* around my dad, but I could probably get one, too.

*Sweet talking as in: begging on my knees ^.^;;
