I've decided the task of trying to chase down all my posts with pictures and change their links to point to picture hosting on my website instead of on ScrapBook is just too big a task to bother. I figure most people aren't looking back far enough that they'd notice anyway, but since I am still alive (e.g. not abandoning LJ entirely or anything, just letting a paid account expire), if you should come across a broken image in one of my posts and would like to see what once was there (I know there are some visual gags in babb_chronicles, lolpotters, and summary posts here), I can possibly hack that for you.

I'll probably make a repost of a few icons that I don't now feel are utter crap, just to have them in an accessible spot.

costume stuff

Besides an Aurora Sinistra costume, I've been vaguely considering a Patronus costume.

(While the idea of Rowena Ravenclaw is alluring, I find myself wondering where I would ever wear again the pieces I have in mind, since I don't play SCA and have no need for a cloak with a bronze eagle on it. OTOH I can see myself re-wearing the random starry crap that I have in mind for Aurora and the silvery animal bits that would be a Patronus, so I think expense and packing practicality is going to throw that one by the wayside. Never let it be said I am not a wet-blanket Ravenclaw Virgo.)

So hypothetically, what animal do you think you see me as?

My most likely choice is a fox, but that could make me Seamus Finnegan's Patronus, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I have a bat-shaped wing-frame (from a pair of nylon wings that disintegrated) that could be pressed into service. It would be fun to be a snake but I have no idea how I'd do that (keep in mind such a costume has to endure a cross-country flight).

I originally thought of doing a poll but I realized providing checkboxes was probably too restrictive.
