When you look into the abyss....

[abracanabra]

Well, actually, when I read my friends' comments: http://ethel.livejournal.com/1134501.html
(Oops, that link is friends-locked. Er, she gave me the idea.)

Edited to add: I have no idea what you're seeing when you look at this--it pulls a user pic from whoever's looking at it. Neat, eh?

I love it. LOVE IT.

(As an aside, have you actually heard of Vintersorg, the guy in the avatar? He's a really good and prolific metal musician from Northern Sweden. He is made of awesome and win.)

Was she saying nice things about the book? :>

[wilowisp.livejournal.com]

Yay!

What?

[skylarker.livejournal.com]

Ooo, weird. I wore that same henna design for a while last year.

I totally was wondering why you picked that picture out of all of them!

What the...?

Hey, I resemble that post!

Is this one of those things where the code pulls one of the viewer's own pictures and shows it to them?

It picked my, "Wait--what?" icon. Which amuses me more than any other icon, given the other commenters' responses.

The picture it shows for me is the one that this icon comes from.

I like yours better than ethel's, which totally freaked me out at work and made me close my browser since it was really NSFW, at least in text.
What is very weird is that this widget has picked an icon I made of an engagement picture of us - but the picture isn't one of my user pictures. I actually don't know where it is online.

Oh, that's just freaky!

[seabream.livejournal.com]

How apt that I got this one.

[nemoren.livejournal.com]

Okay, really odd: it's showing an icon I haven't had up for a long time. Specifically, the one I used when talking about the clay job. Apparently it's still on the LJ servers somewhere, and still associated to me!

I don't get it, all I could see was a Brad Pitt lookalike ;)

And here I was wondering where in the world you got a picture of my cat and how he qualified as looking into the abyss.... =)
