fun_like_that

--> There are two attractive young men helping my uncle tear the siding off the house. They have been working for a few days now. Today I came home to hear music coming from upstairs, where only I reside. In my room is now a GIANT hole where my window and wall WAS and instead was scaffolding, my uncle and the two aforementioned attractive young men. In my room/window/just outside. My room where I have a life-size standee of Bella, Jacob and Edward from new moon, a full garbage can and dirty underwear in the clothes basket.

*sigh*

Oh, and? I'm going to have plywood over the giant hole for possibly a few weeks. UGH.

--> Y'know, if you're going to crosspost icons and then not post teasers because of spoilers but half of your icons are facial close ups and completely unidentifiable from any other episode of the show... just don't. Post teasers.

--> We had a couple young people pass away so their obits were in our paper. They prompted my supervisor to ask us today what we thought we would look like in heaven. I said people would probably look like how they did when they were happiest in their lives. Which made me think about the concept of heaven and afterlife and I realized when I think about "after" it's a rather murky place. Not in feeling or to prompt fear but more as a waiting area. Not purgatory, just... kind of like waiting in line at some government office. Boring and tedious, than anything. And then I'll come back. I don't want to say be reincarnated because I'm not spiritual like that but I truly believe that I'll come back in my next life, and the next and etc, etc.

I can't say why I think this because I really don't know. It's just a feeling I have. And it pisses me off because, to be honest, I don't WANT to come back. I don't want to fade into non-existance or anything but the idea that I'm going to come back and have to relive things at this point seems so tiring.

There's no reason for writing this, I just wanted to record it for my own thoughts since it was a bit of a realization today. I believe that whatever people believe in is exactly what will happen for them in life/after life, so yeah.

--> Had some weirdness today over an email from a friend. It's something I've been trying to figure out how to deal with for a few months now but didn't realize I was still SO bothered by until he sent me a slap-dash email today. It brought all my kinda-anger back up so now I have to think about what I'm going to say to explain why I'm angry and how to do it in a way that doesn't make me seem crazy. Boys.

--> Started watching Community on Sunday night and finished first season Monday evening. LOVED IT! It was so funny! I lawled numerous times and enjoyed myself a lot. I'm also an episode into Modern Family, too, and I would be continuing it tonight if, like, I could go into my room and all.

I had a dream right before/as I was waking up. In it I either was James Franco or was dreaming about him. When my alarm went off there was a plastic pop bottle with a white cap offered to him/me. On the cap was written, "LOVE/HATE". And James/I was all zen and like, "I don't go in for that stuff." And then I rolled over and slept five minutes through my alarm.

I don't even know.

Last chance for icons! I'm offering 20+ icons in any of the fandoms listed there, although I forgot a few, so go check them out and bid!.

I so don't want to go to work today. Oy.

Starting to get better, which is awesome, although I sound like DEATH. It was my first day back at work today, since last Thursday, and things felt weird. It felt like I missed a lot of stuff but seemingly I did not. Almost every call I took seemed to go like this: "Wow, you sound terrible!/like you have a cold/laryngitis/should be at home! Anyway, can you read me the fucking dictionary now?" *sigh*

ANYWAY. I signed up for help_haiti. I'm offering 20+ icons here. I don't know what more to say about that.

[ETA] I guess I could show what I'm offering? *facepalm*

I am offering: 20+ icons, personalised if desired and exclusively yours if you so request.

Fandoms (if appropriate): Doctor Who, Torchwood, Twilight, SPN, The Vampire Diaries, Alice

Additional Info (optional): I can't do manips or animations (well, at least, so I prefer not to). Feel free to provide me with images or I can find them on my own, whichever floats your boat.

I'm really excited to go to bed tonight, got to say.

I posted icons! 65 multi-fandom/request icons (I totally bungled the math in the breakdown at the post).




See the rest here.

I'll probably be putting another post taking more requests later.

Speaking of icons turnyourankle has a weird/angering situation going on right now. You all know the show Skins, right? Well, she made an icon about a year ago that was used in someone else's banner that was submitted in an official E4 graphics contest (I think that's the gist) for Skins. This person WON. She gets an official viewing party or something from E4. turnyourankle wrote to E4 and said that one of the icons used in this person's graphic was her own but E4 wrote back saying it wasn't hers and there was nothing she could do.

Copyright and ownership of image crap aside, this is despicable. This is as bad as ripping off someone else's words to put in your own fic. If you want to find out more about it and help her out by complaining to E4 see this post. We all jump on fic plagiarists, and this is no different.

Valentine's Day is coming. Woo. *twirls finger* I'm more excited for the cheap v-day candy and the start of spring break on Friday. THANK GOD. Words cannot describe how ready I am for a vacation, even if I don't do anything but wallow in my hatred for this programme.

Give me love?

Get your own valentinr

ALSO! svmadelyn's Valentine's Day Love Game submissions are due TOMORROW! I still have to get mine together (I've been meaning to do this for the past week or so) but there's lots of time if you want to participate, too!

I'm getting worried I won't get my abouttwoboys fic done this week. Or any fic due this month, for that matter. :( I WANT to write but I'm having such a hard time getting excited and motivated to do it. I think now that the request icons are done I'm just going to force myself to write. I'll TRY to get my fic done for Thursday but, I mean, it's Monday and I have about 500 words. UGH.

I was going to do an unpopular fandom opinions post this morning but, luckily, I got tied up in other things.

WHAT'S WITH THE WEIRD FUCKING BLUE BAR ON ALL THE ENTIES/COMMENTS?! UGH UGH UGH!!!!!

But not the requests. I've just posted 35 icons over at momentofglee.

Samples:




See the rest here.

Feel free to request a tutorial if you're interested in any of the icons, I should have the psd's for most of them. The request post is still open, as well.

I didn't realise I had quite that many icons. :| It's taken me about two hours to upload, sort, figure out what's request and what isn't, get the icon table thing to work, upload the headers and the wallpaper, add stuff, write stuff.... BUT. I have finally posted icons. *headdesk* If you requested an icon you would have commented on this post. Take a look, claim your icon, check out the others! Comments are love! Noms are adored!

Samples:



You can see all 120 icons (SPN, movies, celebs, requests), plus two headers and a wallpaper here at momentofglee.

I have seriously got to start posting smaller batches. :|

spn_fridayfive!

1. How did you first hear about SPN? And when did you start watching?

I'd heard about it vaguely during the first half of the first season. I'd heard of "Wincest" but nothing more than that, really, and wasn't even sure if we got the show up here in Canada on our channels. When I was home over Christmas break of 2005 I caught most of 1x05 "Bloody Mary" and thought it was a pretty cool show. I wanted to try and catch it when it was on back at school but the weird time I knew it was on (Saturday at 6pm on Space, then) prevented me from catching it again. I saw it... somewhere at a place that will remain.... nameless and managed to get the pilot episode dled.

Thursday, February 9th 2006 I watched the pilot episode and by the end of the episode, with Sammy's words, "We've got work to do." I was BEYOND hooked. Queer as Folk had been over since may of 2005 and I was despertaly hanging onto that fandom because I had nowhere else to go. I was afraid of losing the people I chatted with, people to hang out with online, and it made me sad to see people leave the QaF fandom because they had somewhere to go and I didn't. And then SPN came along and BAM! I became a "dirty fandom dumper" as minorfourth called me. But then I dragged her into SPN with me and all was well. The (very long) end.

2. We all have our squee-moments over Jared and Jensen. Post your absolute favourite (one only!) picture of the two.

( OH GOD- how can I choose?! )

3. Which character would you least like to wake up next to without being able to remember how you got there?

Oh god. Probably.... the demon? Because then there's the possibility that you're waking up after a year or more of having your body being taken over by his "children". Or hell, him. It. Whatever. And losing that kind of control is terrifying.

4. Your favourite brotherly quote so far?

"Only he gets to call me that." That might not even be my favourite but it definitely stands out (and I didn't even watch 2x03 tonight!). It was the ultimate.

5. There are a lot of shippers in this fandom, as well as quite a few non-shippers. What is your view on Wincest?

mcfeste actually asked me about this and why I ship them last week so this is probably as good a time as any to talk all this out, if only for myself.

( I'm a Wincester and I'm cutting this because it turned into somewhat of a meta on Sam and Dean and the implications of incest and questioning the issue of it, and talking about why I like Sam/Dean, etc )

That got really freaking long. So long, in fact, that I have to go to bed ASAP because I have an interview for a job in seven hours! At a tiling place! Who knows, this could be my destiny! *snort*

Check out the icons!

This is one of the most random icon posts I've ever done, and the first one in awhile. Some of these have been sitting around on my HD for a LONG FREAKING TIME. Some are icontest entries from around the start of the summer, I think, a few are entries and variations I made for ultimate_lims. 31, 37 and 38 are ones that I made here on the home computer and you can really tell the difference between icons made here and at my apartment on my own computer. Or at least I can. *shrugs*

Tomorrow I'll try to remember to post the Queer as Folk, Firefly and Veronica Mars icons.

* Gradient/brush credit is in my resource post.

13 x Misc
16 x Harry Potter (Goblet of Fire icons included)

( Total pandemonium )

Thought I should get this post up before I go home for the next week or so. Finals are over for me, as of 9:45 this morning and I got my take-home passed in as well. It's a good feeling. Now I just have to get through my OR date tomorrow morning (blah) and then I finally get to go home.

All the Christmas stuff but one card has been mailed out, so be on the lookout for that. The ego-stroking posts will resume soon-ish. Likely after tomorrow, once the sedative has worn off and I can sit up straight without drooling. Fun times!

Now on to the icons!

Rules/Info
* Cap/brush credit is in my user info.
