My newly discovered blog buddy at Missives From Suburia tagged me for a meme. This is the one where, you upload a screenshot of your desktop to share with the world.
So, without further ado, here is my desktop. If Chapter 1 of my book didn’t put you to sleep, then this is guaranteed to. I am all about minimalism on my desktop. I have removed all the icons that I can and as soon as I figure out how to get rid of those two, I will! The image is one I stole (shhhh!) from Flickr. It is of a Moleskine notebook. For those that don’t know, a Moleskine is what non-writers use to pretend that they are writing when sipping espressos at Starbucks. I have 3 of them that I have managed to fill with doodles, non-writing and a food log (I am a pig by the way!). You can click on the image to see it in all its full screen glory.
Now, I USUALLY do not tag other people which makes me the worst kind of human imaginable. But this seems like a lot of fun. So, my blog buddies, you have been tagged:
Dan at All That Comes With It - Actually, I am scared to see this one! Hey Dan, I know you are a Mac user so just click on that “IHateMicrosoft” button to get a screenshot using your elbow)
Terri at Terri Terri - Since Terri is an excellent photographer, I hope there is one of her images on her desktop!
Jodi at Looking Beyond the Cracked Window - A writer this good, MUST have something juicy on her desktop!
PiTS at People in the Sun - He just scares me!
…and who can ever forget Mel at Momma Mia Mea Culpa?
I have been to all your website lately and haven’t seen this meme before and I know you all know how to put images in your posts, so this should be a lot of fun! How was that for a run-on sentence?
Here is a cut and paste of the instructions:
A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by:
[1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
[2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).
[3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.
