01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper.
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this. The point is to see what you had on.

The background was made by b_hallward, if I remember correctly. This one is too pale and bright to be comfortable on a full-sized screen, but on a netbook it works really well. I like the way the background fades in and out depending on what angle you view the screen from.

I normally find one background I like and keep it indefinitely, same with icons. Or for a couple of years, at least, by which time I am tired of the thing but too much in the habit of seeing it to search for something better.
