Pixel, one of my crested geckos, dressed up as a dragon for Halloween. (The wings attach to his harness, and don't touch him at all, are lightweight, and totally safe.)

*** ...so i used to have this really irritating style of writing here on this site, where i refused to use any capital letters at all... and it drove a lot of people crazy. i was young, and stupid, and insisted it was "a style choice" and it was my goddamn right to do so if I damn well wanted. the only thing is, now, years later, it annoys ME. so please, if you come across an old, ancient writeup of mine where i don't use any capital letters, send me a /msg, please let me know. I'll fix it. I promise. (But I *still* will have to be forced at gunpoint to stop using stars for emphasis instead of bold tags. Sorry.) ***
