Cooler than I expected...

Personally, I find it annoying when people tag their friends in random pictures, especially the ones that have a bunch of phrases like "Someone who can always make me laugh" or "This person has the prettiest eyes."  Who cares?  If you actually feel that way about someone without being prompted, send them a text, write on their wall, or hey, actually tell them in person!  When I'm going through pictures of someone on facebook, I really don't care if Sally Vanderbilt thinks Jonas Tweedle has a nice smile.

As you can imagine, I was a little put off when two of my friends tagged me in a random picture, especially one that had instructions for me to do the same.  I decided I wasn't going to participate, but today my history class was canceled and I found myself with an hour and a half to spare.  For whatever reason, I felt that time would be well spent creating a fake band name, album title, and album cover per the instructions under the photos I had been tagged in.  It actually ended up being kind of fun, and I think the end product looks pretty cool.  The picture and album title work well together, which is why I think this is so sweet, since it was completely random.  I think I'm going to use this method if I ever decide to start a band.  In case you want to try it for yourself, here are the instructions, straight from my friend's facebook (I added the links to make it easier):

1 - Go to wikipedia and hit 'random article' (left sidebar). The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit 'random quotes' (left sidebar). The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” (flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/) ... Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.
5 - Post it with this text in the "caption" and TAG your friends.
