Remodeling Dreams 06.09.04 (10:55 pm)   [edit] As you can see, I now have a lovely header, thanks to the talents and kindness of [url=redtigress.tblog.com]RedTigress[/url]. This of course meant that Lucid Dreams needed a complete makeover. Though the site looks absolutely nothing like a breeding ground for political discourse, I do believe it is a nice change. Now, for a brief explanation of the theme. The image in the header is entirely based on my screenname. Dragon bait refers to a princess. Princesses are often depicted in stories as damsels in distress, in need of rescue by the charming prince. However, the only way to truly be rescued from the dragon (or whatever one is in need of rescue from) is to rescue oneself. So, the princess in the image above has conquered her fear of the dragon, and has rescued herself (or at least we'll pretend she doesn't get eaten or engulfed in flames...). Anyway, I hope you like the new Lucid Dreams, much thanks to RedTigress, without whom you would be looking at a big mess of nasty colors right now. :wink:   posted by: RedTigress (reply) post date: 06.09.04 (8:03 pm) LOL! 'Twas my pleasure! I am so glad you like it and that it works for ya. :) Use it in good health! :D posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.09.04 (8:05 pm) Reply to: RedTigress Thanks, will do. ;) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (5:20 am) I think my favorite part is the flaming title... most indicative of your words which are so often "red hot!" :) Congrats on the look! posted by: therealspartacus007 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (5:43 am) At the risk of leaving sending you skyrocketing to the top of Hot Blogs by leaving you another comment, I'll say nice job on the new design. :) "or at least we'll pretend she doesn't get eaten or engulfed in flames..." hahaha. Well, it does kind of look like the Princess hasn't even noticed the dragon yet... no wait, he's breathing fire on her hands. Ouch! posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (8:39 am) I see what dragonbait comes from. What does the 22 come from? Is that the caliber? posted by: therealspartacus007 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (9:22 am) Reply to: mblog That's her birthday :) posted by: jbfs (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (9:40 am) Reply to: therealspartacus007 possible responses: she was born in 22? man, she's old! she was born on 22? that's a weird date, I was born on 3/13/73 [ed. not really] okay... that's all I can think of posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:29 pm) Reply to: juniperflux Thanks! I owe it all to RedTigress, though. :) posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:30 pm) Reply to: therealspartacus007 Hmm, she doesn't seem to be in pain, though- maybe her hands were cold and the dragon's just helping her get warm? posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:33 pm) Reply to: kurtmaddox Actually, the inspiration for dragon bait is a line in my favorite novel (Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins): "We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves." posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:34 pm) Reply to: mblog Lol, I like the caliber idea better, but it's my birthday- December 22. posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:35 pm) Reply to: jbfs Sometimes I feel like I was born in '22 instead of '82, if that counts... posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:36 pm) Reply to: therealspartacus007 "At the risk of leaving sending you skyrocketing to the top of Hot Blogs..." Um, wait, so you think I shouldn't be at the top of Hot Blogs? :( posted by: RedTigress (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:44 pm) Reply to: DragonBait22 LOL! oooh! someone's in trouble! ;P posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (12:54 pm) Reply to: RedTigress ;) We'll see how he tries to talk himself out of this one... (really, he's just jealous of how hot my blog is, I know) posted by: revdradam (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (4:42 pm) Reply to: DragonBait22 Lol, you know the only reason you are pretending to be sad is to bait me into leaving you another comment ;) No, I'm happy you're doing so well on Hot Blogs. But your blog will never be as Hot as you are. Did that work? posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.10.04 (4:44 pm) Reply to: revdradam Aww, nice job (though changing usernames really wasn't necessary- I wasn't that mad ;) ). posted by: jbfs (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (3:34 am) nifty layout, btw... just too bad that now it won't look at all like some of the tech sites I read at work.. so I'll have to be a little more careful about reading this there ;) posted by: jbfs (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (7:01 am) Reply to: jbfs and by layout, you mean design, you fruit. posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (7:06 am) Reply to: jbfs Oh, but now you can get a natural high from visiting my blog- the fear of getting caught will just make it that much more fun. ;) And I think that saying it doesn't look like a tech site is probably a pretty darn good compliment, so thanks. posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (7:07 am) Reply to: jbfs What kind of fruit? I could go for some pineapple... posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (8:11 am) Reply to: DragonBait22 I suppose I could have looked that up in your profile, but apparently, I'm not in your personal network. Aside from the fact that the phrase "personal network" seems oxymoronic, I can deal with that. posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (8:32 am) Reply to: mblog What? You're in my tFriends, it should let you view my profile... maybe it's another technical problem. posted by: jbfs (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (8:32 am) Reply to: DragonBait22 sweet! *throws out his cocaine* I don't need that any more... it's all natural highs from here on!! ;) I think if I were to describe myself as a fruit, it would be a tomato... everyone thinks I'm something I'm not! (badumtsch!) or maybe a.... yeah, maybe a pineapple... okay, so I spent some time trying to look up some exotic fruit, but it was apparently a fruitless search... so I gave up on the joke coming to fruition... yeah, i'll stop now :) posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (8:38 am) Reply to: jbfs Viewing my blog is immensely less costly than supporting a cocaine habit, so I'm glad to be able to help you out there. "yeah, i'll stop now" Only about 4 lines too late... ;) posted by: jbfs (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (10:33 am) Reply to: DragonBait22 I was just hoping that my fruit jokes would incite peels of laughter... admit it, there was some good humor at the core of those jokes... I just hope they will seed more fruit jokes and not reside in the pits of never-used-joke-land :) (the last two were stretches, I know ;) posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (10:49 am) Reply to: jbfs Oh boy, I think the fruit jokes are getting a bit rotten now... posted by: jbfs (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (11:49 am) Reply to: DragonBait22 yeah. I definitely need to come up with something fresh. posted by: RedTigress (reply) post date: 06.11.04 (4:32 pm) Reply to: DragonBait22 LOL! ;) You know it Your Name: Your Comment:
