Lol yeah, although the unique thing is partly my interest in where I live ("two mile ash"), which isn't really unique! I've been called unique before though, so I'm quite happy with my new title as Queen!
The how-tos of making animated icons, so your answer was fantastic and perfect, thank you! I'll have to do some experimenting as soon as I get a chance. I know a little about animation but nothing about making GIF icons, or what progs to use etc. And I'm sure your icons are great, but I know what you mean about wanting to make something wonderful for someone else.
I finally spoke with my Mum (I phoned her) and it was basically a she was snowed under and pissed off at my Dad thing, which I kind of guessed. Still annoying though!
Lol, maybe I should have written it like I was applying for a reality show - might have gotten a laugh out of the tutors anyway!
Queen Uniquity! ...actually that looks kind of weird. I keep wanting to say "Den of Iniquity" and that's really not my intention. Really.
Oh good about animated icons! I don't understand my own explanations sometimes so I'm glad you did. And I just wish I could do more and make them sharp & crisp & glossy. Well, maybe. Darn it, I forgot to look up that other free program - it's one where you just upload a static icon and then you can add rain, or hearts, or lightning...got it from so_severus but I couldn't use it at work, so I don't even have it in my Favorites here. GAWD.
*whew* It's always better when mums are mad at someone _else_ than you.
I ♥ Two Lumps. It's clearly done by someone who understands the kitty mind :)
As for the Application Statement...having recently been obliged to do it myself, I can say it worked well for me to make a list of "why I want to do it" arguments and another of "why I'm the right person for it" arguments...and then just kind of constructed sentences out of the lists. Of course I felt horrible and fake and arse-kissy while doing it, but it was all the truth, so I felt confident enough to send it in the end...

O for a tutor with a sense of humor!
