Oh come on folks, it’s fun!!! Don’t worry about your artistic skills, just do it. OpalCat is a webdesigner big time, I dabble in it part-time…but don’t be ashamed look around the net and create to the best of your ability. I went to Yahoo and typed in a keyword and came up with two funny ideas, you too can do it! When I found “Supergirl” under entertainment, something clicked with that and Cessendra. Like I said, I laughed almost to a point of peeing my pants, I had a hard time controlling myself while creating it but gawd it’s fun! ---

Here is my sorry attempt so far. I may try putting my face into a pic like some of the others, but so far, I thought this pretty much summed up my handle.

I feel so special. . . and frightened. Have you been reading my dream journal? Ok, as soon as I come up with an idea I’ll post one. * * * [Cessandra](http://envy.nu/cessandra/profile.html) I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids! ---

Cessandra, I can tell from your posts you want to be her, so I thought it appropriate. I laugh at it still! It’s too cute! ---

Can’t sleep… FWIW, I used Paint Shop Pro to do those pictures…not Photohsop…which I could have very well done, but felt in the circumstances it was easiest. Not bad for PSP! Hey OpalCat, what’d you use? ---

Paint Shop Pro. I like it better. I also have Photoshop, but I think it’s kind of clunky, and PSP actually has better tools IMO. Semi-off-topic: If you want a really fun (addictive!!!) new hobby, the PSP Interactive Zone has the coolest thing: every Sunday they post a “challenge” which is generally a simple image, but can be something more abstract (like ‘use any dingbat from the \_\_\_\_ font…’) and you have til Thursday to post your “response” images, which are just whatever creative thing you can do with the challenge. I broke my stylus last week (my dog ate it!) and so since then I’ve played a lot with node editing images. It’s fun! Last night I made a dragon from a vector oval for the challenge… [Opal’s PSP Challenges](http://fathom.org/opalcat/pspchallenges.html) To participate, go here: [http://www.pspiz.com/cgi-bin/mb/wet.cgi](http://www.pspiz.com/cgi-bin/mb/wet.cgi) * * * – “it’s all real” “I KNEW IT!!!” O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---
