20 minutes from now, 44 years ago...

Thanks to those, seen and unseen, who helped me come into this world and grow here. It's beautiful.
This life totally rocks.

There's something very disturbing about that alien mood icon with the little hearts fluttering around its head.

Happy birthday!

[identity profile] smokingboot.livejournal.com 2006-07-12 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
*grins* Thank you! that icon is one of my favourites, but your mood set is fantastic - is there a tutorial on here on how to make these?

[identity profile] semyaza.livejournal.com 2006-07-12 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
They tell you how to do a custom mood theme here, although they don't really tell you anything useful. If you have images you want to use then you just need to resize them (I like 75x75, but smaller is ok) and upload them to ScrapBook, Photobucket or wherever. Once you've done that, you use the Custom Mood Theme editor to 'create' the mood theme (i.e. copy and paste the URLs into the appropriate mood boxes and enter the size for each pic etc). It's a fairly intuitive process; I remember being confused the first time I made one because I was trying to follow someone else's instructions.

I need to make more icons for my mediaeval mood theme, although I find that I tend to use the same moods--tired, busy, pissed off.... :D

I know how you feel, I keep trotting out the same moods. I want new ones; justified, ancient, obsequious, quaint, vicious, squamous...

With my superpowers of haplessness at their height, creation of a new icon set may have to wait a while, but these are very useful directions, thank you.

Hope you feel better soon:-)

Happy birthday! and "many happy returns" as they used to say in Enid Blyton books. x

Thank you:-D Your icon is amazing - is that cat licking or talking?

Happy Birthday Booty One!

Your pressie is supposedly on it's way, although alas we have no control over when it will arrive!

Have a lovely day.

Thank you! wheee, prezzies! Late ones just as good, cause of the element of surprise.Sorry to miss you at the weekend, hope to catch up very soon:-)

It's your birthday? Well have the happiest of celebrations my dear!

And for goodness' sake, put your birthdate on your LJ user info.

[identity profile] smokingboot.livejournal.com 2006-07-12 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you I had a lovely time. Will do the birthdate thing...and, next maelstrom, hope to come sit in your tent and glower at you in hopeless shyness as 10 Good Reasons (then talk much nonsense come time out).

Happy Birthday! Hope this year brings you many good things.

Your birthday is a double number too this year like mine.

[identity profile] smokingboot.livejournal.com 2006-07-12 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
thank you :-). I hadn't noticed the double number. I wonder if it means anything numerologically?

[identity profile] bottomlescup.livejournal.com 2006-07-12 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually dont know...there might be some significance numerologically.

Numbers seem to play weird tricks on me from time to time - like these days - whenever I look at the clock or a car license plate I seem to see the same number many times coincidentally.

There always feels like there's some story behind these synchronicities, and we never learn what it is!

Thank you:-) It is hard to see this birthday as a marker when everything is in transit; but let's see what the months bring in.
