I am, I feel: content
So, yesterday was all sorts of things.
For example, yesterday was Dreamwidth's first Follow Friday (
damned_colonial's idea, as seen here in the comments to the last
dw_news post). I may have totally missed it due to being busy. Oh well, I can start next week, right?
Also, yesterday I got more icon spaces on Dreamwidth AND less icon spaces on LiveJournal. I could not have timed that any better if I'd actually tried, seriously. Which means it's messing around with icons time! \o/ I love looking at people's icons, for no good reason. Personally, I think that
triggerhappy777 as the best taste in icons of anyone I know (which reminds me - Kate, do you still have that entite icon, and can I steal it?), but the single best icon I've seen lately would be
aqrima's current default (which I would love to take (with credit!), but won't because I don't like taking people's default icons unless they're really okay with it - there's often something very personal about people's default icons, because it often symbolises them/their username or is something they really deeply connect to).
All squeeing about icons aside, I'm slightly upset with myself about my icons. ( Yep, I can rant about my own icons! )
TL;DR - I need more diversity in my icons, stat. Not that I've made many myself lately. Must do more of that.
Another thing that yesterday was was Eddie Izzard gig in Newcastle day. It was pretty awesome, except for the bits where Patrick couldn't come along and my left knee sort of... locked? Seized up? I'm not sure what you call it, but sometimes it just does not and will not bend, and then when it does finally decide to bend again it is very painful. The gig itself, however, was much fun, probably mostly because he really knows how to play his audience - yes, he totally managed to get a random "covered in bees" reference in, and then had to explain to half of the audience why the other half cheered when he said it. Epic.
(Note to self: ninja spartan dreamsheep. You know you want to somehow make that icon.)
Yesterday was all sorts of things, but today is me staying in my sexy pajamas (ironic name is ironic) and catching up on comments.
more comments over at Dreamwidth!
