phosfate1. Your LiveJournal User Name
annlarimer
2. The name that you choose to use
This would be...my name.
3. Explain how/why you picked the user picture(s) you have
1. I like Millennium, and I like the many things the ouroboros represents. 2. The first version of the picture was part of a t-shirt design I did for a RevelCon. 3. I needed an icon for EZBoard, so I cropped that bit out of the RevelCon design. 4. Ourry has evolved into a sort of personal mascot. 5. The current version is scanned off the cover of a book I bound and painted.
The Stats
4. Date of Survey
June 22 01
Account type:
Free
If permanent, what did you do to get it? If free, why not a paid account?
I've only been here a month or two...I'm still test-driving.
- Your Journal -
5. Why do you have a Journal page? Do you have a Journal page for yourself, your friends, strangers to know you, and/or everyone?
It's easier than writing to 20 different people, and there's a neat sense of community here.
6. Why did you pick LiveJournal (LJ) over another service or handwriting?
I tried blogger and it was kind of scary and frustrating. LJ is very user-friendly - designed to help you learn code rather than assume you already know it. And I like the BBS format.

No clue.
8. How do you think your LJ represents you the most; factually (includes daily routine), emotionally, intellectually, sexually, religiously, or artistically?
I'll play the odds and say artistically.
9. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
I try to treat it like a story and have mercy on anyone who may read it, and post when something actually, y'know, actually happens, or I have something to say. You're not going to hear about every phone call or every time I'm bored or when I change the channel on the TV.

Would that be the 'good' Peter Watts or the 'evil' Peter Watts?
(If you say both, I may have to...aw, hell if you say both you'd be right.)
"and the other way around." And a good save for Ann
Re: Love, Peter
Have you seen Kielle's nifty selection of ourries on iconaddicts? She includes the MM Group's version, and no one's claimed it...
Re: Love, Peter
Hints, suggestions, instructions? (No rude ones, thank you)
Re: Love, Peter
1. Ask Kielle if you can use 'em (in case somebody's got dibs in the meantime).
2. If she says yup, save the pics to your hard drive. If you're on a PC, you put your cursor on the picture, hit the *right* mouse button (assuming you're using a right-handed mouse), and a little menu will pop up. One of the options will be 'Save picture as.' Click on that.
3. A thingie will pop up that will allow you to save the picture to your hard drive under whatever name and place you choose. Do that. Remember where you put it.
4. Go to the main LiveJournal page. Log in if you aren't already. Click on 'Your Pictures' on the menu in the left-hand column.
5. This will take you to a page that will walk you through loading up your icons. You have room for three on a free account. Load 'em up, give 'em names, pick one as your default. When you post (use the complicated version, the one with the moods and music options), you will be given the option of choosing one of the three or leaving the one that is your default.
(If this stuff doesn't work or makes you nuts, e-mail me. Change the password on your account, tell me what it is, and I'll load 'em for you. Then change the password again.)
*gape*
