Pointless polling

Photoshop continues to frustrate me. This looks so awesome in my head, why won't it woooork? Gah.

[Poll #741401]

[identity profile] fan-this.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I scream at Photoshop some days. I had one of those days yesterday.

Hmm, that bra question got me thinking. I usually take mine off by slipping the straps off and turning the clasp around to the front and then unclasp it. But I do it both ways.

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely nothing works and everythings looks clumsy or like I did it in Paint. A break is what I need, I think.

I'm tempted to ask "But whyyyy do you do it like that?". (*makes defensive gestures* But I won't! I won't!)

[identity profile] coreopsis.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
For both the second and third questions, my answer is either one or both at the same time. I'm not consistent in any way. :)

Getting out more is always a good option, and one I should definitely consider for myself. *g*

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The fact that I find this very interesting probably indicates that I really, really should go out, yes. ;)

What if my jeans don't have a zipper ...

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid this poll is exclusively for people who are in possession of jeans with both zipper and button.

;)

*deprived* Button-downs are much cooler anyway!

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
They're-- wait, I thought button-downs were shirts? *is confused*

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know. Random fun fact: If you google for "button fly", you get many guys in underwear. But...why underwear? *is even more confused*

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/ 2006-06-03 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
*eyes frowningly + ponders answer*

Because those boxers all have buttons *nods* Not only do I know coz I have them, but you can see it in the images. All underpants with penis-slots (shuddup) - with the exception of y-fronts - have button flies.

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, they have buttons? The tiny ones? *looks at close-ups, purely out of scientific curiosity*

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/ 2006-06-03 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
But - they were big enough to see in the thumbnails! I guess you'll want my uploaded porn-caps then, which coincidentially are for research only ...

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
They, they were not. *narrows eyes*

Stop poking holes in my excuses, please! ;)

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think your icon may have killed me :)

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/ 2006-06-04 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, mine is all sorts of lovely! I thought you must have seen the balls or something, not this sweet man of mine one. *iz scarred and scared by your Breugel monster*

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
LOL.

I shall have to be more specific next time. I er, was giggling too hard forgot what the topic of conversation was when I butted into the thread.

*zones out for a second* Seriously, that icon is distracting.

I am oddly fond of my Breugel monster, but this one may be less scarring ...

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/ 2006-06-04 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! No, really, I do the same, we all forget the person won't be able to see the icon in question in the comment notification.


I think it's more J that is distracting than the icon *sigh* but I'll give you another one to keep you alive.


Your Breugel monster reminds me of the stupid, stupid rat creatures from Jeff Smith's Bone, now that I thought about it! :) And I am oddly fond of those, so I understand.

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Now you are just enabling me. Ya know, if I can angle my screen right I can just about fit both of your icons in at the same time. Twice the J being distracting.

I will never get any work done. *stares* Nope. Gone.

As I think I said to [livejournal.com profile] dar_jeeling the full picture for the Breugel monster is actually quite serene in a weird way, and so I forget that the icon is rather agressive. See, so much forgetting.

Oh, sweet stupid, stupid rat creatures :P

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/ 2006-06-04 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's Sunday. Why should you be the one getting something done if I don't.

You know, I was actually guessing, or not even that, just comparing. Although, since I had Breughel's theme park painting over my bed for a while (one of the hell pictures, but as Tom Holt outlined in one of his novels, it does look a bit like Disney-gone-bonkers).


Quiche! XD

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
*stares* This is ridiculous. I was just on the phone and kept on stopping mid conversation to stare. Can you write me a note for my supervisor for when she wants to know why I did no work?

Well, comparing is probably closer because the piece doesn't really have a name and Breughel Monster fits quite nicely in the interim. *snort* Disney isn't hell? Why was I not apprised of this fact? Perhaps Breughel was having very accurate visions?

Eh... sorry to [livejournal.com profile] dar_jeeling for taking over your comments.

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, dear God, don't apologise! It's totally fine.

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine, I retract my apology :P

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Mwahahahah! Brought up by wolves, I tell you.

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
See how versatile your icon is? Mwahahaha, indeed.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/ 2006-06-04 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Dear Ms. Supervisor,

enname wasn't able to complete her assignment this Sunday because of distressing imagery she came across in the line of duty.

Please excuse her understandable incapacitation,
yours etc.

PS: fire her, hire me!

I was recently told that I'm one of those weird people who clasp their bra first and then put it on, instead of doing that wrap around thing. Whatever, I think I'm just unique and cool like that.

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
So you pull it over your head?

*pauses*

Okay, yes, that was a rhetorical question. Yes, I just took my bra off and put it on again, just to see how this works. Don't judge me! ;)

[identity profile] godofwine.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Is this really never done? Maybe it's a remnant of my predominately sports bra wearing earlier days, but I can never be bothered to go through the whole fumbling for a clasp ordeal. It's my lazy exotic and unique shining through even in the everyday motions.

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know. It's not like I go around asking people about their bra routines. No, wait.

Also, how many times will you make me take off my clothes today, woman? I retried the whole thing with an underwire bra, which seemed more difficult to me.

[identity profile] godofwine.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually had a discussion about this with the roomie recently and the consensus was:

Her: You're weird.
Me: No, no, I'm sure it's quite widely done.

Um...apparently not.

Maybe my boobs are more crushy or something because I've done it with padded, push-up bras and it still works just fine. I tried it your way, and couldn't even get it to sit straight in the beginning much less find the actual clasp. Much less complicated my way.

Also, I consider it my good deed for the day if I can contribute to the removal of clothing.

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, what about those of us who are ambidextrous and open our bra with either hand? The hand that is available at the time even. Does this mean I have to do the poll twice?

*peers*

Ya know, photoshop and I hate each other but I understand the problem. The prettiness in the mind's eye never manages to translate onto the page. *smacks sketch book around* We have an abusive relationship :)

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, noes. My poll is insufficient. You planted self-doubt in my heart!

The prettiness in the mind's eye never manages to translate onto the page. Artist's woes. *nodnod* Sometimes though, you create something really pretty and it isn't what you had in mind at all, but still...happiness!

[identity profile] enname.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha! My cunning plan has succeeded. Now you shall forever be left in uncertainty and self-doubt when polling. Next step - take over the world!

Only it is a huge step. :P

... and sometimes that accidental prettiness is the best of everything you have done, and you don't even know how. It's when the Artist's Woes take over and don't even let you do accidental pretty that the problems start.

I should have an "I hate Photoshop" icon made in PAINT.

Actually regarding the bra question, I use *both* hands behind my back to unclasp it...

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
With a tasteful pixelated font and everything! Yes!

Another person who proves that my poll is insufficient. *is sad*

;)

[identity profile] salivia-baker.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
bra choice: both hands?

and jeans. what when there are only buttons??? or what about a slipin-slip out jeans?

and.. why yu wanne know how I do it? heard "do it yourself"? :P

me -> bored ;)

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Next time I should spend more time thinking up possible answers. *hangs head*
Well, the poll's not about buttons only jeans!

And yes, I do it myself aaaall the time. Wait. That didn't come out right. ;)

[identity profile] salivia-baker.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe.. ;)

well. i don't even wear jeans ^^

depends on how it should come out *bg*

[identity profile] dar-jeeling.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh, you're trying to trick me into admitting something, aren't you?

[identity profile] salivia-baker.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
(love that icon!)
