Tick tick tick tick tink tick tick tick tick

I made a new background image for my Punquin Eloquent--style?--whatever, where the entries show up. Since I don't have much in the way of any graphics program, I had to make it bitmap and upload it to Photobucket. It's quite amateurish, but I like it. I made an icon to match, but will have to look around to see whether I can get someone to reformat it from bitmap to gif, or whatever.

Need to go over to Mom's today and get my stuff packed. The problem is that there is a deadline, and I just can barely seem to get moving. obviously I'm worrying too much and trusting too little to Providence.

moonbeamswift over at GJ linked to an article about slash fiction, which just abounds on the internet. The author was saying it's mostly written by women, which didn't surprise me. I commented that I reasoned recently that women tend to like verbal porn, men to like visual. Men apparently have their visual cortex (?) linked to the amigdala. The amigdala is the part of the brain that humans share with reptiles, a very primitive part. When guys see a picture of a woman they are attracted to, they not only get aroused, but the amigdala says, "go, hunt, find...". Women get aroused by porn, but they don't go after their object of desire. Hm. I wonder what a brainscan would show in women's brains when they read slash.

I myself should keep away from the stuff, though I haven't entirely been able to. So I know the attraction. The article says women don't go for the buff, perfect, guys, but I say they do sometimes. Uh, Fabio, Orlando, etc.(Fabio is ugly IMO, btw). On the other hand, there is a strong attraction the not so incredibly perfect guys--Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, & so on. I think guys don't care what a woman has to say when they are looking for visual porn. Of course I know there are exceptions to every rule.

I'll link to the article, but I will probably have to edit later.

Now GJ's acting weird

I figured out what I was doing wrong yesterday with LJ, but now I'm trying to upload icons over at GJ, got to the upload multiple pics form, and that page just won't come up. Darn. Well, try again later, I guess.

Heh, okay, opened another window, and there it is. Well, good. Flipping weird! --It's got only 2 windows to upload, not 3. Weird. Whatever.

I went and got 2 chocolate chip cookies--Grandma's brand, not too fattening as cc cookies go, and I guess they've got me filled up for a while.

I went over to Lytle Park by the Anna Louise Inn, remembering what Gini said, that that was a possible place to settle. You never know.
