I am terrible. I have like 200 comments I have not replied to, and I really, really really want to. I have this stupid thing where I think I have to reply to them all nice and detailed when I'm sure a "thank you" would be sufficient. Also, I keep getting distracted with my other to-do's.

Read A Mind That Found Itself and report on it.
Actually study for General Psychology.
Reply to comments.

Lose 30 pounds or so.

On that last one -- I weigh 176 pounds right now. Now I don't think I look bad. I am pretty muscular underneath my flab, so I look more like I weigh about 150 and I'm pretty hot. It is more of a clothes issue. I want to wear a button up shirt without my boobs popping the buttons off, for instance. Also, need less girth in calves for most sexy knee-high boots. I used to weigh 145 before I went on birth control 3 or 4 years ago, and I'm off it now, and I want to get back or at least get close to that. So I'm on a pretty hardcore diet. Wish me luck!

This feature is for =MrMushroomMan's contest results, and just in time for traditional art week, eh? The contestants were to simply include a flower in their work, using any traditional medium. They get features from me and ~Sandra-H, and the ultimate winners get features and subs from `GH-MoNGo and =MrMushroomMan.

Congrats to all the winners!

Do people really believe that? Yes.

But not in our community, right? Wrong.

The current AIDS awareness campaign running around here struck a familiar chord with me because I have talked directly to people who are drastically misinformed right here on our own Help With Life forum.

Help with life, there's your problem. SHADUP!

Ow... so what's with all the thumbnails? They are for you!

For $Moonbeam13's AIDS Mythbusters Contest, I present my collection of free animated avatars to help promote AIDS Awareness.

Okay, sweet. BYE! WAIT!

Here's what I want to accomplish: I want enough people using the avatars as their own icon that non-subscribers will be able to use them in their journal with the :icon: function to spell out their own AIDS awareness slogans to dispel AIDS myths. I will keep track of who is using what icon by keeping a list of those users in the individual letter's deviation, and they will all be linked for easy searching.

So get to it!



Oh, and in case you were wondering, there is no reason to abandon people with AIDS! HIV, the virus causing AIDS, can only be transmitted through blood, pre-cum, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. Here are some links for more information.

EDIT: `Mrcrapinson showed me how to get rid of ugly backgrounds on the thumbs and should be hailed as a saint.

But one I suggested. This isn't actually the first time I've had a DD I suggested get made into one, but it is the first time I got credit for it because all the previous times, they got actually made into DDs by directors that I hadn't suggested it to. But it has always been good to know that I can identify DD material fairly well.

Sooo! Go look!



My original message to the admin (for Fionna's benefit): One reason I started watching her was because of the amazing detail she puts into her backgrounds. This one is her best one yet, with all sorts of fun things woven into it, yet it doesn't detract from the focus. She has "inspired me" to work harder on my own backgrounds.
