"New" (??) friends

[capri0mni]

I don't check my own info page very often, but today I was curious to figure out when my LJ anniversary was coming up. When I checked, I also saw that two people who are friends-of-friends decided to friend me. I don't know how long they've been reading my babblings, but naturally, I'm a bit chuffed that strangers would be that interested in what I have to say, so I friended them back. Maybe we'll become regular comment buddies, and maybe not. But either way, welcome to cyloran and ionlylurkhere!

(BTW, my LJ began November 6, 2002. And this will be post #547. Any math whizzes out there want to figure out my posting average? No, I didn't think so...)

Comments

That is (after some shiny but simple maths yes) about 16.5 posts a month, so about four a week, so about one every 2 daysish yes:):):):)

::dances you::

::thanks slemslempike who actually did the actual maths yes yay::

Oh, Thank you!

:::Dances you, too:::

(I love the fact that you use "dance" as a tranitive verb, btw).

I think you should have a "Dances you, yay!" icon. I don't have photoshop (or photoshop skills). If I did, I'd make one for you. Maybe I'll make one with MS Paintbrush. 'kay?

Would you prefer Fred Astaire type dancing, or Yule Brenner in King and I dancing?

[jekesta]

I NEEDS a "dances you" icon so much yes:):) Fred Astaire, Yule Brenner, all is good here, but you have no obligation to make me one because eventually I should stop being lazy and make one myself yes:):)

I have access to Photoshop, but not the necessary leet screengrab skillz needed to do the "dances you" icon I have in mind.

Fortunately.

*stuffs lack of screengrab skillz in ears to foil siren song of icon-making*

I, myself, felt a twinge of guilt over the idea of using copyrighted pics... so I Googled for free clip art...

I can see why they are free -- kitsch like I never thought possible!

I may just hand doodle an ms paint icon for myself, for my own amusement.

*waves* Thank you. Have been lurking since . . . erm . . . well, a while. And quite enjoying your LJ.

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

*waves back!* (is chuffed some more)

Mind if I ask ('cause am curious) -- how'd you find me? Do you remember?

[cyloran.livejournal.com]

I think it was something posted in warinbabylon's LJ. I don't remember quite where or when, but I know it had to do with Doctor Who. And when I saw that you were also interested in mythology in your user info.

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes... and I see you are also interested in writing! ;-)

[cyloran.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. I'd rather write than eat. Actually, maybe I should write nore rather than eat. I'd lose even more weight! :D

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

hee!! ... My only problem is that writing makes me hungry...

*waves* Hello from me, too. Don't know whether you'll hear much from me -- am a great one for writing long comments and then deleting them in a fit of "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt"-ism.

So yes, "silence from me" = "reading and enjoying but having nothing worthwhile to say". Hello!

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Well, with your user name, I can't accuse you of false advertising, can I?

But if I ask a direct question, you'll have to answer, right?

"What is your icon from, and what does it represent?"

[ionlylurkhere.livejournal.com]

It is a detail (read: appallingly blatant copyvio) from The Great Bear, by Simon Patterson, a lovely bit of modern art which takes the Tube Map (a thing I love beyond all reason, more than the London Underground itself, which I love a great deal) and replaces all the station names with famous people. I chose the particular section of it I did becaues it includes: Humphrey Bogart, which is the Great Bear's version of Mornington Crescent; Jean-Paul Sartre and Karl Marx, both of whom I have considerable time for; and best of all the fabulous "Karl Marx (change for Zeppo)" gag.

Ah, yes. Now I see... I don't have much expweience with subway systems, so I didn't know the code...
