Memey meme meme

From [livejournal.com profile] communicator, a fun pictorial mosaic meme.

You answer twelve questions about yourself. You enter each answer into Flickr's search engine. You pick a photo from the first three pages of results and put its URL into this rather cool mosaic-maker.

Then you post the resulting mosaic in your blog. (I set mine to a width of 600.)

The questions:

1. First Name:
2. Favourite Food:
3. Hometown:
4. Favourite Colour:
5. Celebrity Crush:
6. Favourite Drink:
7. Dream Holiday Location:
8. Favourite Dessert:
9. What I Want To Be When I Grow Up:
10. What I Love Most In The World:
11. One Word That Describes Me:
12. My LiveJournal Name (or as close as you can get with a result)



And from [livejournal.com profile] thetisonline and [livejournal.com profile] babel, though I've done other versions before.

WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother’s & father’s middle names): Tirzah Tomas (well, it's alliterative)
NASCAR NAME: (first name of your mother’s father, father’s father): Salman Karl
STAR WARS NAME: (the first 2 letters of your last name, first 4 letters of your first name): Monico (sounds like a small city-state)
DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal): Turquoise Cat
SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you live): Ruth Auckland
SUPERHERO NAME: (2nd favorite color, favorite alcoholic drink, optionally add “THE” to the beginning): Green Brandy Alexander
FLY NAME: (first 2 letters of first name, last 2 letters of your last name): NiDy
GANGSTA NAME: (favorite ice cream flavor, favorite cookie/biscuit): Maple Toffeepop (bwahahaha!)
ROCK STAR NAME: (current pet’s name, current street name): Claudia College (yeah, like that's going to sell CDs)
PORN NAME: (first pet, street you grew up on): Peter Orlando (and oddly fitting it is)

Those are some attractive pictures! And I like it that most of the words are not obvious.

The second one, though, has too many 'favorites' for me to answer; and anyway, I can't feature a Gangsta named Dulce de Leche Teacake, can you? :D

No, but I want the recipe!

Ankath sounds like a small country!

Perhaps a former Soviet republic. :-)

The combination of the pictures is really fantastic.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! It's a nice tool; you can make some attractive smaller mosaics with fewer pictures so they don't tile like that.

[identity profile] communicator.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
it's a lovely tool isn't it? And what a gorgeous picture of Michael K

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I rather like what you can do with four or so photos. It's a pity I don't have a colour printer.

Isn't it lovely! Did you see the full picture of him (http://flickr.com/photos/lesather/1869399531/)? There's also one a few years later with Sally Knyvette (http://flickr.com/photos/lesather/1870212176/). The guy has photos of himself with ll sorts of celebrities, including lots of Doctor Who ones, dating from when he was about 10. :-)

.... I want the full size of that Michael Keating one. >_> I may have to start calling you Maple Toffepop, BTW.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's here (http://flickr.com/photos/lesather/1869399531/). Look at that jersey! It must have been taken back in the late 80s or 90s going by how much younger he looks compared to now.

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
omg I love it so much. I even love the guy next to him, but Michael especially. He looks fantastic!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
He does! :-D

I'd say it's the 80s going by how Michael and Paul look, and how much older that guy is in his other celeb photos.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I found him a few years later with both Michael and Sally Knyvette (http://flickr.com/photos/lesather/1870212176/).

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
I love his PHantom of the Opera shirt!! LOL

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
And Michael's pose! :-D

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
I think I went through them all. He really has met a lot of people. It's strange to see him "grow up" through the pictures! He was such a wee little thing as a kid! LOL I love that he's standing all close to Michael and not Sally. XD

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I have now been through them all. Wow, he's met so many DW people--including your Frasier Hines AND THE BRIG--and a lot of Star Trek ones too. Yeah, he's obviously been doing this from about age 15. :-)

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe even younger--his picture with Tom Baker is WEE. He looks about eight, I swear! I'm most jealous of the people like Troughton and Doohan who are now deceased. And getting to meet Michael and Paul (and Sally) when they were still so young.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
He looks pretty young with Peter Davison too. Maybe about 10, then. I hope he gets the last two Doctors for his set. Do Eccleston and Tennant do cons in the US?

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't seem to have one with Pertwee (Three), but it's too late for that now. (The yellow car is, BTW the Third Doctor's, yes.) As for the new Doctors, Eccleston doesn't do cons at all. He's kind of divorced himself from the Doctor. Tennant would be under the BBC contract not to appear at cons so long as he has the role, though I imagine he might start doing them once he hangs up the coat, so to speak. Of course, that doesn't mean the guy couldn't go to England and catch him in Hamlet, or Eccleston in some production. A lot of his photos were post-plays or book signings, etc.

Night!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, and I love how he's copying Michael's pose in the first one.

OK, now I really have to go to bed.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
And oh look, there's one of the same guy with Paul Darrow (http://flickr.com/photos/lesather/1870228110/in/set-72157602810144597/), obviously at the same con!

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Man, I'm going through all of his pictures now. Lots of famous people! XD But that one of Michael is much nicer than the one of Darrow.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
It is!

I saw some DW actors in there too, including Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred, and actors from the film. Is that yellow car Bessie one the Doctor had?

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
He's got one with PATIRCK TROUGHTON. I am in awe of this guy. And Tom Baker!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't see those or I'd have mentioned them. :-) I haven't looked at them all yet. I can see I'll have to.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
He's got two with Troughton, I think!

OK, I'm off to bed now.

I just love Maple Toffeepop! I am going to do that mosaic meme ... yours looks great.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It was almost Ginger Toffeepop! Best ice cream I ever tasted, but it was made by the restaurant and I've never had it again.

I look forward to seeing others' mosaics.

What's Nascar? And Fly?

My porn name is Mittens Mapperley. Oh my.

[identity profile] sorsha-khan.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine's Petie Hole. We should get together. Or not.
*runs away* ;-)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
!!! Petie Hole is worse than mine!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
NASCAR is US stock car racing. Greg watches it on TV; that and Grand Prixs are interests I don't share, though I did love the films Cars. I was going to be Ruth Karl for that, because why wouldn't they have woman drivers too? They do here.

I have no idea what Fly is, but others seemed to use two caps in their names, so I did too.

Mittens Mapperley is wonderful!

My rockstar name is Leia Lady. Hhaaaaaa I rock!

Lovely pics, I like the arty-scary-hand thingy a lot.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Leia Lady is nerdy class! And alliterative with it.

It's a rather meta door knocker in Amsterdam, and the door's metal! I liked the image too.

I think I'm finally gonna do this meme.

Yay! I look forward to seeing the results.

Ooooh, lovely pictures. I will have a go...

There are some beautiful photos on Flickr.
