An Idiot Sits On My Couch

Downloads GIMP.

Ooooh, shiny!

Fiddles and tinkers.

Ooooh, more shiny!

Creates banner instead of writing.

Ooooh, very shiny and plays with journal configuration instead of writing.

Creates cover for story.
Creates icon from cover for story.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Uploads covers.
Uploads icons.
Adds covers to first and last part of stories instead of writing.

Ooooh, shiny!

Adds icons to all parts of stories (all 30+ parts).

Ooooh shiny!

Decides to reduce icon count for future non-payment for extra icons, default OK for most posts.

Ooooh shiny!

'Fixes' name on new cover icons because not sorting as expected (missed dash, extra space.

Damn.

Not so shiny...

Memo to incredibly stoopid self: Icons use the name to match on for display, else use default icon. You change the freaking name, you will end up with the default for all the posts that used to point to the old icon name.

Idiot.

Re-adds icons to all parts of stories (all 30+ parts).

Ooooh shiny!

*giggles* Sounds like you're having an interesting day...or, at least, a shiny one. Maybe the birds are just drawn to all the shiny energy? :-P

It's all GIMP's fault. Yeah, that's it! It could never be my inability to think before doing...

Umm... as long as you're having fun? *grins*

I used to tinker with pictures and making collages and stuff.... then I found fanfic. I keep adding new fandoms and feel I have to catch up on all the old fic, plus the new fic, plus my old fandoms. So I can sympathize with you being distracted. lol

I have one fandom and it's very specific. You'd think I could stay focused at least a little bit instead of imitating a magpie. I mean...wait, oooh shiny!

*walks away without even saying goodbye*

I started off in the Highlander fandom, read a crossover with SV, and headed in that direction. Then I just added Queer As Folk (US) partially because of a crossover with SV I read. So they all kinda got inter-connected. lol I don't think I'd have the brain capacity to add any more. *grins*
