I still have to take the time to try making a planet, I didn't get to it yesterday like I wanted. I may not get to it today either, I'm helping my sister's friend move again. I briefly mentioned recently that his apartment building had a fire, everyone got out okay, but no one is allowed to move back into the place. HUD was having some issues with the landlord and I don't think they're allowing any of the residents to stay there. Anyway, I've got to help him move a few things to his new place, and I'm glad to do it. The guy's a great friend to my sister, and that's all I need to be willing to help him out.

The Photoshop Elements I have came with the tablet I got for Christmas either last year, or the year before that. If I can come up with a way to do that effect in another program (preferably a freeware one like Pixia), I'll let you know. My sister thought it was a photo from a deep space telescope at first, so I guess I did a pretty good job on it.
You're not going to believe this, but I actually found a variety of strawberry that's white. Here is a site that sells them (thy have a picture) and here is another (scroll down a little, you can't miss them). Since they're seasonal, and not available readily in West Virginia, I have to use red ones for my lemonade, but it would be cool to try a white strawberry lemonade someday. There are no natural blue ones, but with all this genetic hybriding of plants, you'd think someone would have developed one by now. That would be cool to see blue strawberries, though they would probably make the lemonade turn green which would be funny to look at.
I saw your post, responded to it, and I'm glad to be helping you out with the character stuff you've got a creative mind that'lll do great in RP. Though, I do think that I'm being kind of blunt at times. I'm not a really good teacher, but I do try to share what I know with people. If I start going too fast or getting too complicated for you, let me know and I'll slow down and try to take things in smaller steps.

O_o; What manner of horros have I unleashed?

Just ignore him he just wants attention now. I love the conversation things too, they're fun diversions, but I'm really worn out today so I don't have one to rebut with.
To answer the question buried in that rather unusual conversation there, my immediate family and I do the holiday dinner thing, we don't have the extended family over. Normal days though, we don't eat together because well, everyone works odd hours, well, except for me who can't get a job.
Hopefully in ten years time I'll be working, or doing something that's sending income my way, whatver it is so long as it's legal, and still hanging out here and posting pictures and all that other stuff. Who knows, maybe I'll still have my mothman theme then!
I hope you have a great day.

It was fun to do, once I got the hang of it. I am satisfied with the results.

You should be able to do the starfield in PSE4. One would assume that they've added features to the program since 2 which is the one that I've got to work with. When you have the time and feel up to it, give the tutorial a go. Actually, the save as dialogue in PSE is a little too simplistic, and also overly complex at the same time for my liking. I like a simple 0-100 slider for image quality on JPEG images, I don't need "presets" in a dropdown menu, that, and the whole "must save as copy" nonsense confuses me. For most of my image compression/converting/resizing needs, I'll stick with the program I've used to view images for three years now, Irfanview. It doesn't do high end editing, but for the basic stuff, KISS still applies.
I'm not one of those people, I never will be. Just because I can do one thing in Photoshop Elements 2 does not automatically mean I've been brainwashed into the "Adobe is God's gift to mankind" club, far from it. I'll always believe that anything by Adobe is overpriced, overbloated software that's second rate to good freeware available on the net. I've been giving props to Pixia, wrong link, sorry, Pixia, for three years now, and I'll continue to do that because I believe strongly in the program. My wallpaper, my site background, my avatar, my post banner, that rose card I posted a while back, were all made using Pixia. Granted Pixia can't do a lot of the advanced things that Photoshop Elements can do, I still recommend it over Photoshop any day of the week.
DeviantArt is a difficult site to navigate as a guest, and I get the impression from their cold UI that it's purpose is to bait people into joining up just to see what additional features (if any) are available to member. There's a lot about that site that just rubs me the wrong way, and I've rarely known my gut to be wrong about such things. I'll need more time to think about joining up. I know a few people who are on there, but I'm still not sure if that's a community I want to try to fit in among.
Not really, it just sort of popped up on its own the other day. I tend to talk out the words of the posts as I write them up, so it's like I'm talking to myself, then there's the character things I do which are funny, or supposed to be anyway.
As I do more things and like the results, you can bet I'll post some stuff.
Yeah, that sounds about right, you're teacher may have the technical knowledge, but he's not qualified to teach. One of the local colleges is like that too, they pick out community members who's jobs make them technical experts in the field which they're teaching, but they just can't teach at all. As for websites, the less bogged down with showy nonsense it is, the better. I don't stick around websites where I can't find anything, or where the pages are so bogged down they don't want to load. So I guess he's not very good at web design either if his pages are too loud and flashy. I wonder what he actually does for Boeing.
