So, here I am.

Late to the party, as usual. :) I'm finally back online at home, so figured now's as good a time as any to jump off a cliff. And jeez, seeing as I'm sitting here at 3:21am hemming and hawing over just this little bit of an intro for the last 20 minutes, I'm remembering why I was so resistant to getting one of these in the first place. Oh well, couldn't resist astolat's patient prodding forever, could I? :)

Hm, don't quite know how to drive this thing... prolly should friend some people or something.

Hey!!! Welcome to LJ, and remember. If you get to the party before it's over, you're not late.

Mwah!

LOL!! That is one histerical icon.

*mwah*

Hee! I see you there! *giggling madly* I adore your icon. I wish you could see this lithograph we bought at the last local art show -- it has the milkmaid as part of the image, but it's all mixed up with other images layered on top. Totally awesome piece of art.

Actually, you know those conversations we've had about this thing and why we resisted so long? I think I was right in the first place. Still, at least now we can comment with icons. {{{{hugs you}}}}

I saw the original in Amsterdam, when I was there. Really beautiful. Vermeer is one of my all time favorite artists. I'd love to see the one you have!

Yes, icons are nice. :) Although they make me stress out a bit, don't know why. I think I'm much to preoccupied with how I represent myself. All part of the neurosis, I suppose. heh.

Me too! This woman who created the image we bought does amazing work, and often uses Vermeer paintings as part of her collages. She has this sort of fusion of math and art going on, very cool. I wish I could remember her name! It'll come to me.

Don't worry, that'll pass. *g* But LJ feeds into our neuroses in bad ways, sort of, doesn't it? I think that's why the best part for me is the icons. You quickly forget the neurotic part and just get to play with the pretty pictures.

Replying to myself. So sad. But I found her! Suzy Scarborough (http://www.bluespiral1.com/figure-august/scarborough16963.htm) is her name, and she's from Columbia, SC. This is one of her paintings. We couldn't afford the paintings, hence the lithograph, but they are gorgeous.

Oooh, that is cool. Kinda like a visual art spin on fanfic, isn't it? Neato.

And I'll take your word on the icon thing. *g*

Heh. I hadn't thought of it that way, but yes, you are absolutely right. That's probably why I liked it so much! Don't know if you saw these, but there were a few more paintings (http://www.bluespiral1.com/figure-august/scarborough16973-6.htm) on the next page. You can see a little bit of the writing and equations that were in the background of many of her paintings. She uses stuff from Da Vinci and other sources -- she said anywhere she can find interesting shapes and lettering. And a lot of circles and primary colors, obviously. *g* The one we got has what looks like old-fashioned woodcut lettering throughout the whole thing, and if you look closely, it's the value of pi to about 40 decimal places.

Welcome! Have fun in the LJ jungle. Don't forget your machete and pith helmet.

It's so nice to see you here!

Here, have a beer! :) :)

Welcome to hell. *g*

(glassy): We all resisted at first. But now we love it. You will love it, too.

PS, the link to your webpage doesn't seem to be working.

[hafital.livejournal.com]

D'oh.

Forgot the bloody 2. All fixed now. :)

I'm having a Charlton Heston Soylent Green moment. I see, LJ is really a large fen eating consortium. I see how it is. Don't got me fooled. Uh-uh.

Assimilation proceeding on schedule. Resistance truly is futile. :-)

Hello... I stumbled in via a link in killabeez's recent post about VividCon, and what do I find? Thundercats, slut!Duncan, K/S wonderfulness, links to articles about Krakatoa and chemolithoautotrophic hyperthermophilic archaebacteria, accurate versions of Methos' drink recipes, and Depp eyeliner squeeage. Wow. Welcome to my friendslist!
