So there’s a new meme going around, or, at any rate, a new wave of an old meme that I missed the first time it was going around the WoW blogosphere on account of not being a WoW blogger myself yet. Gnomeageddon started it, and now Syrco has tagged me. It goes like this:
* Go into your image folder
* Open the sixth sub-folder and choose the sixth image.
* Publish the image! (and a few words wouldn’t hurt, though I dare say I couln’t stop a blogger from adding a few words of their own).
* Challenge six new bloggers.
* Link to them.
As it happens, the sixth sub-folder in my general My Pictures directory is my WoW pictures folder! The sixth sub-folder in my WoW pictures folder is “clothing”, and the sixth sub-folder in that is “menswear” (clothes that look different on guys than on girls), and the sixth picture in that folder is this lovely, highly-cropped shot from the Dressing Room:
/whistle
The Black Mageweave style of leggings appear as pants with a stripe down the side on male toons. I always wish I could have the male pants-with-a-stripe appearance on my female toons.
Backing out a level, the sixth un-subcategorized picture in “clothing” is this example of Cataclysm newbie mail.
I still think this design is quite handsome and collected the light blue/brown and dark blue/dark grey versions of the pants and tunic with Kaumalea.
I don’t have any pictures in my primary WoW folder itself; they’re all sorted into one or another of the twenty subfolders (most of which have sub- and sub-sub-folders of their own).
Going up into My Pictures, the sixth un-subcategorized image is this picture that I drew for April for the calendar illustration project I did last year.
Now to choose some people to tag! Hmm… how about Saxsy, Ironyca, Saz, Miri, Martha, and Chatmay — and N’jessi, to see if we can transmit the meme to the SWTOR blogosphere (muahahaha!).
Wow, that picture you drew is really beautiful, reminds me of the Whispering Forest 😀 But the trees there are a little darker and greyer I think, but there are deers like on your picture.
Thank you! Perhaps one of these days I’ll make a non-WoW art post of all the pictures I made for my calendar project last year.

Oh that pic is a nice break to looking at screenies. Not that I ever get sick of screenies…
Love the illustration 🙂
OK I am confused- 6th subfolder under Pictures folder?? I don’t even sort most of my images that way, they are kind of all over the place.
I actually went to the 6th Subfolder of Images… it is called iPod Photo Cache…AND IT IS EMPTY.
Most every other pic on my computer is of my kids besides the downloads folder.
Not sure this qualifies as a blog post for me ha ha.
Sorry!

Then delete the iPod Photo Cache folder and use the folder that was the 7th folder and is now the 6th folder! Or you could just go into your WoW pictures folder and choose the sixth picture in it, that would work, too. 😀
Alas, the image you directed me to is not one that I feel I can publish, not without bringing something too personal into the blog. I will try to figure out a way of making this work. Perhaps the sixth drawing in my drawings folder?
The sixth drawing in your drawings folder would absolutely work! 🙂
Hmm, looks like I might have to get creative with this one—I have a LOT of non-WoW images (hullo there model horses!), so I may have to do a ‘6-6’ and a ‘WoW-6’ just to be fair. *grin*
*puts on a hardhat and goes off to dig around in the folders* 😀
… And those sparkly Easter eggs are awesome. ^_^
Well, I’ve seen a lot of people just starting with their WoW pictures folder or their WoW screenshots folder, and then doing the sixes thing from there, so that would be just fine 🙂
I ended up pulling a few different sixes and lucked out with the screenshot from my dual-boxing team—I meant to bring that one in as a desktop for work, so pulling it up at lunch was a good reminder! 🙂
This was a fun meme—I hadn’t realized how many screencaps I’d been taking lately. I didn’t take many on my main since I had a bad video card when I started playing WoW. Now I wish I had more pre-Cata screenshots. *wistful sigh*
Now I just have to finish off my giant Who’s Tagged Who tree so that I can tag people myself! 😉
Haha I read your post yesterday and yet managed to overlook the fact that you tagged me! I’ve already found my picture(s), it’ll be a few days before I write the post though.
