Madness behind the method

Apr 03, 2008 19:08

While making icons for challenge 124 on a Friday night, kirin76 and I had a very interesting conversation on AIM. (I was talking to pegasi1978 at the same time on MSN IM, but it wasn't quite as entertaining.) I posted bits of the conversation with kirin76 a while ago. I had to omit quite a bit of it, as we did discuss challenge 124 while it was ongoing. But, now that it's over, I was thinking we could let you guys in on how we operate the madness behind the method here at dreamoftomarrow. There still is some of it that I had to omit for mod purposes, but this is pretty much the meat of the conversation. And, because we are an icon-making community, I have some icons inspired by the conversation with kirin76 down at the bottom!

kirin76 (7:25:30 PM): hey there I am making entries right now. Lol. yeah procrastante me? never! ;-)

Auto response from missy42 (7:25:30 PM): maybe i ain't used to maybes smashing in a cold room cutting my hands up every time i touch you maybe maybe it's time to wave goodbye now time to wave goodbye now caught a ride with the moon i know i know you well well better than i used to HAZE all clouded up my mind in the DAZE of the why it could've never been so you say and i say you know you're full of wish and your "baby baby baby babies" i tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well all the world is all i am the black of the blackest ocean and that tear in your hand all the world is DANGLIN'... danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN' you don't know the power that you have with that tear in your hand that tear in your hand
