I decided to retouch a photo of Elisha Cuthbert for fun.

Okay, okay, I give in; and if enough of my friends jumped off of a bridge, I probably would too.

A wonderful second life., 8. Hot Chocolate, 9. Alive!, 10. Love is love, 11. Sentient Xing, 12. The Sims2, originally uploaded by ceoln on flickr

Note that the flickr search box per se is sort of odd, and sometimes shows the most relevant hits, sometimes the most "interesting", sometimes searches only in the photos of the last person that you looked at, etc. I first did most of the searches ordered by "interesting", and although the hits were sometimes quite interesting, and often quite completely unrelated to the search term, some of them were also inaccessible to the mosaic maker, so that was too bad. This one is redone using entirely "most relevant".

Yes, my favorite drink is also my favorite dessert. And my favorite food seems to be a dessert, although it's different from my favorite dessert. I could have sworn I was going to use "pizza" for "favorite food", but if "ice cream" has somehow snuck in there, I'm not going to argue.
