Good question. {g}  Ricky Martin wants a dominatrix?  I think it's about
him wanting a gal who is sexy and in charge (i.e. 'leather and lace' line)
but he's using some lame pick-up lines.  Heh, I thought 'lame pick-up
lines' = Draco. ;-)  C'mon, 'Potter stinks' is so... five year old. 
Primary/elementary school kids can think up better insults.

I always perceived Draco as wanting Harry's attention, and depending on
the perspective, it could be for better or for worse.

Probably the editor by Adobe. {g}  I'm still using a Win98SE machine from
March 2000 and don't have the resources for some programs.  The Adobe
software was bundled with a video card and I bought both in used condition
(hey, I'm poor) years ago.  Although, I do experiment around with other
programs--that is... when my computer is actually working.  Guh!  I
couldn't log-on to the internet nearly all day and I'm lucky that it's
even letting me on for *very* brief intervals now.  It's like a shoddy
machine being held together by figurative 'duct tape'.

Anyway, speaking of editing, I caught the FA wank about page design and
you've got to be kidding me.  I've seen worse web design and one thing I
will always be grateful for FA continuing is the *plain*, THANK YOU GOD
PLAIN fic pages. {chuckle}

I've very bad eyesight.  A sad but true story was, when I went to the DMV
for my first drivers license, the lady at the counter asked if I could see
something on line three and I answered with the first thing that came to
mind: "Was there suppose to be something on that line?"  A slightly
amusing story on why I never got glasses before, even though I couldn't
see properly since I was a little kid and failed every eyesight test at
school, was because I never said anything to my mom.

Since a large portion of HP writers are now subjecting me to their LJ
layouts for individual entries, I appreciate plain white pages with no
images attached for simple printouts and saving to an old laptop the size
of luggage.  I know you can do a 'style=mine' but LJ memories don't
bookmark with this added tag/qualifier.

Maybe someone more savvy can tip me on if it's possible to do LJ memories
with the style=mine intact (preferably for free account users). 
Otherwise, I'm left with using my web browser's bookmarks.
