carrieb. Cut since it's a fairly large picture.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I can't help but elaborate.

It's pretty uncluttered since I just did a reinstall and I usually try to keep that freshly-installed feeling as long as possible. The picture is one of mine--so far not a single person who's seen it has "got" it, but I thought it was vastly suitable. I guess most people don't get creeped out by other people fondling their keyboard. I have a few things that I switch between (until the reinstall, it was a tobacco field, and in December it was Mr. Aragorn, and there are several backgrounds that either M, Blatt (his best friend) or I have made that get used now and then.) I'm currently using PocoMail instead of Outlook Express, but I miss that little blue icon when I don't have it--it's currently running in the system tray.

To play, just take a screenshot of your desktop (that print screen button actually works--just press it, open a photo editing program, and paste it into a document), resize it smaller (this one is 600 pixels wide) and upload somewhere. I love looking at people's desktops.. it's like voyeurism.
