*grins* Speaking of tangents and icons, here's two versions of the same animation...one's 70K and prettier, and the other might juuuuust squeak in under the icon limit for LJ. If you want to do something with them, that is. Or you could just, y'know, look at the pretty one. Like I have been. *facepalm*

Er, I'm assuming that you have an animation program that is...if not, I can send you one?

And no, I didn't feel obligated, heh...one thing you can count on with me is that I really don't do things I don't want to do, if only cos I'm horribly self-absorbed that way. *sparkles* And I live on shared squee! Don't worry, I really enjoyed reading these!
