Paint Shop Pro, baby!

Heh.

I created this image for a fellow gamer (which represents a character played in an RPoL game). I searched Google images to find all the elements that make up the character; big pointy ears, large tooth-filled mouth, pointy nose, unruly hair, dark clothes. Then I altered the images to suit my needs, combined them all into one, and…

Voila!

Meet my version of “Dark Finn”, aka “Phineous Darke”.

Isn’t he cute!

Mwah-hahahahahahaha….

Manda: “Mom… Why do old people call flip-flops thongs?”

Me: “Because, dear, when ‘old people’ were young, that’s what they were called.”

Manda: “That’s weird. Why did they change the name to flip-flops then?”

Me: “Well, I suppose that was so us ‘old folks’ wouldn’t get confused and try to stuff our thongs up our butts.”

Manda: {laughs} “That’s why I love you, Mom. You’re so funny.”

In other news…

“Dorannes’ Google hits plummet due to lackluster posting! But who cares? I have a blog award from JQ!”

The “Let’s Be Friends” Award represents:

“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this written text into the body of their award.”

Thanks, Java Queen! You’ve made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Kinda like the first time I experienced the burning goodness of five glorious shots of Jose Cuervo Gold and… OMGawd! Was that a worm!?!

*cough-cough-ahem*

Maybe that wasn’t such a good example. But anyway…

Regardless of Life’s little intoxicated worms, it’s nice to know that somewhere along the blog parade I’ve actually earned a loyal reader (or three… you know who you are). …A blog pal who loves me for me even when I forget to post for eons at a time. …Someone who challenges my brain by using words like “self-aggrandizement”, thereby causing me to Google the definition of said word, and now I’m all that much more learned because of it. …Someone who gets my kinda funny and keeps coming back for more. Why? Because you’re incredibly awesome… and apparently …so am I!

Thanks, JQ! You rock! Consider yourself one of the eight I’m supposed to deliver this nifty award to. As for the other seven…

Ha! I’m a rebel. I listed nine! (Translation: I can’t count.)

You know, in perusing my blogroll it has come to my attention that I’m not the only blogger slacking off lately. It would seem that nearly everyone is doing it!

Yay! Blog slackers unite!

…and pass the procrastination, would ya. My cup seems to have run dry.
