It's the Pics Meme!

I seem to have been sucked in by the meme meme of late. How scary. Anyway, here's my take on the pics meme:

0. What's your name?


1. What's your favorite animal?


2. Who is your favorite band?


3. Your favorite faerie tale?


4.You wish you looked like:


5. You wish you were dating:


6. Favorite drugs:


7. The best idea ever:


8. The best place ever:


9. Current favorite movie:


10. Describe yourself:


11. Something that irritates you:


12. Something that makes you happy:


13. Describe your life:


14. Favorite pictures at the moment:

4. You wish you looked like your younger self? Why?
5. *grants your wish*
8. Mmmm, yes. But am still looking forward to Oxford more at this point.
14. The pic I took yesterday isn't your fave at the moment? ;;)

The whole Eternal Youth thing (as opposed to plain old eternal life where you're completely decrepit and senile after the first couple of hundred years).

Oh, that's a very *nice* pic, but #14 has been my desktop for some time, so it only seemed fair...

Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're much better looking now than you were then.

If it's been your desktop pic for ages, how is it your fave of the moment? :P Oh, and "nice" was not what I was going for...

I was thinking of saying
I don't even need to say "I'm saying nothing"
but then realised that would involve saying something. So I said nothing - or, rather,   - instead. Note to self: never apologise, never explain.

(Question: not that I want to here, but how would one delete one's own comment on a S2-style page, other than taking a "delete comment" link from elsewhere and manually munging the journal name and comment number?)

I do believe you have it surrounded, Mr. Dickson.

But yes, that feature is not yet enabled in the current incarnation of S2 - there's no way of knowing if the person viewing the page owns a given comment. Creating the 'delete' link should be possible, but would have to be on every comment for every viewer at the moment. Hopefully this sort of thing will be fixed soon.

BTW, that 1x1px icon looks gnarly on my layout ;-)

S2 - as Strong Bad would say, the S is for Sucks

Indeed it does and the background colour on this one is probably out as well. Bally customisability of S2...

Any suggestions? Ideally, I'd like a completely non-icon, but I don't want to have to set default to "no icon" in order to get it.

Ooh, and this box uses a different version of Courier New which is shorter and fatter than that in default S1, or at least has less vertical space between lines, and I Don't Like It. *squirms uncomfortably*

Hmm. The background color of that one would be wrong 50% of the time on old-style comment pages, anyway. As for icons, I don't think you can do any better than a 1x1 transparent without setting a "no icon" default. Mind you, the bally customisability of S2 would allow me to ignore such icons...

Hurrah! The micro not-really-a-userpic is now neatly ignored.

w00t! That's clever.

I think I will start saying w99t instead of w00t, just for variety.
