I really need to put GIMP on this machine

These jpeg compression nasties are completely unacceptable.
So, naturally, today's thing (does it count as crafty if it just involved flipping bits? Here's hoping yes, as it did take a fair chunk of time to get it just so) has a story behind it.

Current social situation in my life? Complicated would be putting it nicely. But I am trying to figure out how to deal with that while minimizing collateral damage. So I was trying to figure out how best to communicate to people around me about the particular hazards associated with being around me at this moment in time. This was what I came up with. I think it works!

It's amateurish, but still a tempting idea as a t-shirt. Or, you know, a tattoo. On my tongue. So everyone knows precisely what they are in for when they talk to me.

(Perhaps I should add something about staying back by at least 100 feet.)

*sigh*

Totally counts. I've spent many days sitting in front of Paint and other graphics programs trying to get something to look "just so."

Good work!

I agree that it totally counts! What color is geek kryptonite anyway?
