Flickr Mosaic Meme

Lifted shamelessly from Egalantine's Cake.

The concept:

• Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
• Using only the first page, pick an image.
• Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd's mosaic maker.

The Questions:

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name

The Explanation:

1. Someone named Jen takes nice pictures of bugs
2. Risotto, and I can cook a mean garlic mushroom one
3. Apparently my high school shares a name with this curious sculpture
4. Nothing is prettier than red
5. Portman is awesome, I forgive her for Star Wars
6. I want a Mojito right now
7. French Canada reclaiming my roots and shizznit
8. Tiramisu, the more the better
9. Cats are the philosophers I wished I could be
10. I love books, especially the smell of them
11. My eccentricity isn't as obvious as awesomely purple hair though
12. Apparently some blue butterflies are called polyommatus icarus by smart people

Pork and Beans

It is pathetic how incredibly excited I am that Weezer is putting out a new album, and that it seems to be more in touch with their roots than the last awful attempt.

It also helps that their newest single is deliciously catchy. I had fun spotting all the internet stars in their music video.

I'm such a dork.

Help, I'm Talking and I Can't Shuttup!
