Scare quote "meme"

[kirisutogomen]

Actually, it's called the "album meme." Apparently you make up a fake album cover, with no actual creative input of your own; all components are determined by processes out of your control.

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The article title is the name of the band

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of the album

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture is the album cover

I suppose you get a tiny bit of input, in that you can pick the font and placement of the words on the album cover. But mostly it's an exercise that reveals no personal information at all, unlike the usual viral LJ entry templates.

Unless you cheat.

Of course you cheat. ;-)

The quotes typically produce something interesting. The wikipedia entry, less so.

You're doing that thing that always confuses me, where I think the icon face that I don't recognize should be the person. I'm going to refer to you as "she" any moment now.

I actually added this icon shortly after the confusion with the Sartre icon. :-)

The baby picture really is me, though.

I would totally give On You Like Wolves from The Central Anticorruption Bureau a try, although it sounds like some kind of mad German Industrial electronica.

Sadly I can't be bothered to photoshop it, but I rather approve of my result (with, er, only very slight cheating), Milk Masquerades as Cream from Obscure Berrypicker.
