Middleman!

sorcyress: Just a picture of my eye (Me-Eye)
So, there's this really damn interesting person known as [livejournal.com profile] rm who posts a lot about things I'm interested in, like sexuality and gender. Especially gender. Lots and lots of very awesome gender things.

One of the things I have gathered from reading all this is that, occasionally, he sees fit to dress himself up as Ianto, from Torchwood. Not as a cosplay, specifically, somuch as a "it's time for work, and today I would like to look nice and smooth and stylish like Ianto". I mean, as far as I can tell, of course --I don't know his exact motives in the action, merely that it is something he does sometimes, and completely rocks.

Rach may have Ianto days. I apparently have Middleman days. At some point, my brain ticked over into "goddamnit, Sorcy is a bit of an irresponsible twit, but MM is about the most steadfast and responsible person ever. Let's be him today, instead, and get stuff done!"

And so, after lunch when I came back to the room...


...I redressed myself accordingly.

It's a fantastic outfit. The whole thing is designed to feel solid, accomplished, good about myself. Those are grade A boots of butt kicking there, the cargo pants are designed for girls, with actual pockets, the belt is in the least known of "my colours", the button down shirt and tie are just professional, and the jacket is made pretty much entirely of win, some more win, a little bit of awesome, and even more win.1

Oh, but of course, I'm leaving out my favourite part.



Hey, at least if I'm a tremendous dork, it's for one of the better organizations out there. (It's worth noting that I'm also wearing boy scout socks...also that sometime I should write an essay detailing my thoughts and feelings on GSUSA and BSA)

MOOP!

1: Okay, and a tad "needs buttons" but whatever. I can fix that.

Also, I am of the firm opinion that any outfit that includes boots should have the boots be reasonably visible.

Okay, *fine* JoshZed. If you insist.

((Yes, this is just an excuse for me to be a camwhore. I do that.))


These are what my boots look like. And I keep feeling like this picture looks manipulated, or faked --like those are a different person's legs. But I really am that flexible.


My like...sixteenth attempt to get both my face and the boots in a pic, without looking like two people making a trick photo.


And this one turned out too dark, but I just look so shibby professional! Except my hair being a wreck, but shh.

Unrelatedly to everything ever, I find it a little amusing that, pretty much any time I want to do something interesting with html, I cobble it together from viewing the source code of other people's journal entries. I'm pretty sure that this is teaching me Bad Habits.

Notes:


  • [ul] makes a list, with [li] being each item in the list.

  • [code] gets it in a lovely monospaced font. I am SO PROUD I remembered the term monospace.

  • [pre] I haven't quite figured out yet, so I shouldn't     play    with it. And the gaps it allows for.

  • [sup] gives you superscript and [sub] gives you subscript I use the former for footnotes

  • [small] is how I make my footnotes smaller than the rest of the text. You can also mess around with font size, but [small] is easier

  • I'm pretty sure this is outdated, but [b] is bold, [i] is italics, [u] is underlined, and [s] is struck through

  • You can also apparently change the spacing of lists by adding a [p] after the [li]. A paragraph break, perhaps?


  • If I wanted to link my favourite htmly thing ever, I would be using [a href="http://link.com"]. Similarly, all those pictures I was posting earlier were yoinked from flickr by posting [img src="http://image-source.jpg"]


  • And while I'm too lazy to demonstrate1, [a href="#n"] will provide a link to wherever I have dropped the [a name="n"]


  • (added 2019 01 04): Shamelessly stolen from the Dreamwidth FAQs, I can type [user name=sorcyress] for a DW name or community like [personal profile] sorcyress

And now I can just use this as my go-to for html, without even frigging having to click on the "edit" button to view my raw text. I am so okay with this, you have no idea.

MOOP!

1:Down here, silly!

PostScript: Friends don't let friends forget to close their html tags!
