t-shirt ideas

dragonlady7I only just found out what tl;dr means. (Too Long; Didn't Read, as a response usually to blog rants and the like.) And I thought, Oh my God, that's me!
I've gotten way better lately but you realize, dude, it used to be very bad. My fifth (sixth?) LJ anniversary is coming up next week. I'm too embarrassed to link to it here, but my very first blog posting is a prime example: it's long, it's a self-centered rant, it calls someone an idiot-- not by name, but should said person ever read that, they'd know it was them-- for doing me a favor, and it ends inconclusively after making me sound like a self-important twat. I didn't even try to put a structure on it. And I was almost finished with my major in English!
I didn't learn to write in school. I learned to write on the Internet. I shudder to think what would've resulted had I lived ten years earlier. Brrr. (<--*shudders*)
I have all these ideas for clever and witty t-shirt slogans... I should make myself a t-shirt that says tl;dr on it, except that if I'd managed to go this long on the Internet without knowing what it was, it might be unwise to assume everyone would know what I was talking about.
I did have another idea for a t-shirt I'd wear all the time, last night. See, one of Z's high school buddies is getting married today, and Z's in the wedding. This is almost exactly two years after the last wedding he was in, of another high school buddy. At this point, two of the group of four remain unmarried: Z, and a dude who lives at home with his mom. So... People keep asking Z when he's getting married. (Better they ask him than me, because I never know what to say, but it doesn't bother him one bit.)
I'm tempted to launch into a tl;dr rant about marriage, including my epiphanies of yesterday, but I'm restraining myself.
Anyhow, possibly somewhat inspired by Z's cousin's upcoming nonfiction book on the "husband-free" lifestyle, I'm thinking it'd be really funny to have a t-shirt that says, "Spinster", and possibly has a graphic of a wedding ring with one of those slashed circles over it.
I would wear that today.
... OK, I wouldn't, but, the thought amuses me.

An Easy way to make your t-shirts
Date: 2006-06-24 08:43 pm (UTC)They have a "create your own" feature where you can upload any logo or artwork you want and have it printed on t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, etc. You can even set up a FREE store there to sell your shirts, etc for proffit.
All you need to do is design your logo/artwork using Paint/photoshop etc. They have tutorials to help you get the best quality. Hope this is helpfull.
O HO I BET YOUR ACCOUNT IS NOT EVEN PERMANENT

But a friend of mine actually briefly had a business that sold t-shirts with various weirdo literary references, and one of her most popular ones was "Miss Havisham is My Mentor."
