You just might be a skinner if...
Saturday, May 31, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
1). You just closed down your graphics program to take a break from your latest skin and suddenly a new idea pops into your head and you have to fire it back up again (sometimes this happens repeatedly).
2). You are tired, no wait…nix that… you are bloody exhausted…the day was too long and you tried to put some time in on your latest skin but you just didn’t have any inspiration so finally you call it a night and as soon as your head hits the pillow…”BAM! A great idea for your skin almost propels you out of bed!”… (The skinning muse keeps odd hours it would seem).
3). You jokingly start referring to your coffee as “Skinning fuel”.
4). You obsess over one tiny detail on a skin until your eyes hurt from staring at two stubborn pixels that just don’t look right.
5). You begin to regularly refer to yourself as a “skinner” and your family members just give you a perplexed look and when you try to explain what it is you do their faces go blank.
6). No matter what you’re doing you can’t get skinning ideas out of your head…example: You’re in the shower and stare at the bar of soap and think…”Hmm…nice color and texture, just might make a good skin!” or you’re in the grocery store and you notice a color of fruit that would be a perfect accent on the skin you’re working on and make a mental note of it. -Or you’re walking by a candle shop and start getting inspired by the color and lighting of lit candles and…well you get the idea…hehe.
7). You’re in the middle of doing some intense skinning and testing out your skin and the phone rings…and even though you know it might be important you let the machine get it. Hey, that’s what the machine is for, right?!
8). You download another skinner’s skin and stare at it for hours in complete and utter fascination, wonder, awe and envy of such talent and feel completely unworthy of calling yourself a skinner now. Boo hoo.
9). You dream up a super-cool skin idea and then take 3 months to try and make it actually come to fruition because the idea was pushing the envelope and instead of making it easy on yourself you decided to make it harder on yourself but everyone loves a good challenge…I think.
10). You congratulate yourself when you finally finish a skin and drink one too many beers only to wake up and find you got a tattoo on a rather embarrassing body part that appears to be the Stardock Logo even though you can only read it backwards in the mirror as “kcodratS” so you mutter and swear to yourself that you’ll never make another skin…hmm, well…until that next shower or inspirational visit to the market or mall anyway!
11). When people complain you’re never out and participating in life you say, “Hey! I might be addicted to skinning but at least it doesn’t hurt my liver or my lungs!”
This edit thing is nifty.

For some cartoon movies (disney) a mac is used I think.
I really don't want to turn this into a debate. Thanks for setting me straight about pixar and dreamworks.
Something to note... i not using a mac right now. i have been using a PC. i like macs cause they don't break down like this PC does.

Why do you always feel like you have to justify your choice of computer kona? Anyways...
I'm living #9 on a daily basis, but I will make it work. I will.

I didn't think I was... . Maybe it has something to do with evryone jumps down my throat 9or has in the oast) for loving apples or maybe it is that we apple people take offense to any small thing. i don't know. I am using a PC I don't have my mac anymore but I want to get one soon. This computer is worth more than my car,

Ah drats! Cheer up folks…that’s what this whole thread was about…for a few laughs is all.
I forgot # 12). You fantasize you are in the movie field of dreams only with a skinner's twist..."Field of skins" and you hear a voice say, "Skin it and they will come"…the voice sounded almost like Charlton Heston…hehe
Angel_Wings gives everyone a hug that wants and needs it and gets back to her WB skin that is driving her a bit bonkers!

It was actually Amiga 4000s Jafo.
It's rather worrying that God has such a bad temper. Chill out God!

Luv your "Summer Dreams"...I'm new to the whole site, and am SOOOO hooked. I've been checking out everything, and am amazed at this whole 'other cyber world' of skins, cursors, etc.! Lately I've been concentrating on photo-editing, but this stuff is SO FUN! Anyway...just wanted you to know that the blues&greensof your skin is great. Thnks...
