Shot a bunch with this ridiculous Sony that turned off at random before I returned it, because hey, kind of a sweet camera with lots of problems is better than no camera at all. When you know you won't be able to do long exposures very soon, you do long exposures, is what you do.

My drive fell down and got unplugged when I was uploading, and during recovery I found a lot of messed up and oddly recropped photos that I LOVE yes I have mentioned this before.

flickrspam
Since getting people I adore watching my photostream, I've stopped just dumping whatever's in my archive or camera right onto flickr. There's a process now, but I miss just throwing up everything I shoot and getting weird snippets of nothing get 'wow' comments or favorites. A little surprise that's a reward for the good photographer habit of shooting everything a hundred times without ceasing.

UPDATE I still have the most fun when I have no idea what I'm doing
I still want a big beautiful DSLR, which is still weird to me, since I spend most of my time totally destroying the high quality capture of what is literally before the camera. I like surprises, like this ridiculously overexposed roll of 400 used in a pinhole (NEVER put 400 in a pinhole during the day, I cannot stress this enough.)

Multiple moonset failure
I like Picasa's photo editor, the cheesy focal black and white, and even the automatic multiple exposure.
It's paradoxical to want more control over fake multiple exposures, since there's very little control in a real multi-exposure using film.
I never want to delete any photo, the maxim still stands that putting garbage into a process means you'll get garbage out of it, but there's a versimilitude in using bad photos when going for an 'accidental' aesthetic.

1. Do you give much thought to how much your photo resembles something you have seen before, or think you have seen before?
Yes!
I start with a cliche like 'long exposures of water' and I learn how those work, making mistakes along the way, then I try to relate it to my experience, of those pretty misty long exposure water on the rocks shots, have I ever seen one of flooding around picnic tables? Of a duck pond with a sofa in it? So I usually go out to shoot with twin goals, pretty photos to emulate, and something I feel is lacking in most of those, otherwise I'm just not motivated enough to do it.
When cropping or not cropping I tend to think of movie formats, square frames for the intimate films of the 1950s, standard format for the hyperactive or grandiose forms of widescreen.
