Random nonsense
Sep. 10th, 2008 06:17 amFirst off, have a pretty new icon, though ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wolfram003 already said she loves it (it's in my RP journal too), it's somewhat her fault I even made it. We were having a random side conversation about the comments Jade and Allen were making to each other which somehow went to cross dressing. I was showing her fanart of Jade in a dress and dug up this little beauty that I forgot I had. I added some color and iconed it because we both agreed it needed to be an icon.
And of note, Jade's butt is sexy, especially at 700% zoom while coloring it.
Of course in the RP Allen thinks Jade is seriously strange. That's not exactly a new thing though.
And just had to tell this random story from my drive to work, because it still amazes me.
Basically, I work from 3:00pm to 12:00am. I'm usually running a tad bit on the late side in leaving, which was not any different than the norm today. I left at 2:46 when it's about a 15 minute drive to work, oops (though my work doesn't count me late if I arrive before 3:04, so I'm good leaving at this time).
Well, joy of all joys, it was raining, not too bad, but enough to need the wipers. I get stuck behind one of the usual obnoxiously slow trucks and he's turning the same way I was. So I pull my usual stunt of going into the left lane and he goes to the right lane, that way I can easily pass him.
Yeah, right, easier said than done. As I finish my turn, my wipers need to be turned up a notch and my cigarette went out. So I slowed down a bit rather than passing stupid slow truck so I could relight the cigarette and get the windshield wipers set right. I normally wouldn't need to slow down because of the wipers, but even with a zippo lighter, lighting a cigarette while driving isn't always an easy task, so it requires slowing down a bit to ensure I stay in my lane and have time to react if someone pulls something stupid.
Seems I had amazing luck, stupid truck then goes halfway into the lane I was in. Had I not slowed down to relight my cigarette, I would have ended up in a nice accident today because of yet another idiot who doesn't know how to stay in their lane.
So there you have it, a story of how my bad habit actually saved me from a car accident. And damn, I sure have the most amazing luck when it comes to driving here. That and my amazing reaction time is probably the only thing that has prevented me from getting into any accidents. People here drive like complete idiots. Sadly, someone who can't stay in their lane is pretty much a daily occurrence.
Oh, and if anyone wants a larger version of my icon since I usually do icons on a bigger canvas and shrink to 100x100, I didn't save it before I cropped the canvas, but I do have a larger version of it:
with effects
without effects
However, I would prefer to keep that icon to myself, just am sharing the pretty because it's pretty even if a simple coloring job that took me only about an hour or so.
