Spam will be the death of me.  I got bored and decided to. um.. modify this
message :)  I hope it entertains you, I was extremely bored.  Also,
raindrops are very difficult to draw, the one in my signature kinda sucks
:)  (Yes, thats what that is) so fi you can make one that will fit in about
that space (it can be a little bigger) i would appreciate it.  Who knows
maybe I'll produce something that looks decent. heh.. :)

Well, I tried..... and you're right - they're b*ggers to draw. This is the best I could do (in half an hour anyway) and none of them look much like raindrops - more like mutated pears. :-) Might give you some ideas though.
