What you see is what you get.

41, male, single, I like to think of myself as creative.  But you be the judge. 

I'd like to address something I heard recently... regarding unscrupulous blingers copying others' blingees and then posting them as their own.  It's stealing and plagiarism, pure and simple.  We work hard to come up with ideas for our blingees, and trying to get them just right is also a chore.  You may think you've come up with a clever angle, but really you're just robbing people.  Think up and create your own blingees, don't steal them from your fellow blingers, okay?  After all, you wouldn't like it if someone stole your work and presented it as his or her own.  BTW, honest artists, it's a good idea to sign your blingees in some unique way (with your username or a special symbol) to discourage this practice.  It won't stop dishonest people, of course, but it will expose them for what they are: thieves.  'Nuff said.  :)

Listen:  When you go to look at people's blings, take an extra second to rate them.  It's the nice thing to do, and it's what you would want them to do for you.  I've noticed that a lot of people who beg others to help them earn badges won't help others to earn badges.  That's not fair.

I may soon have to join Blingers Anonymous.  "Hi, I'm Grant and I'm an addict and Blingaholic."

To all my Blingee friends:  Illegitimus non carborundum. (Latin for "Don't let the bastards get you down.")

And don't let ANYTHING kill your creativity!
