Just got back from the state fair. It's as exasperating as a normal fair, except with added manure stench... no, it wasn't bad, I just hate crowds. And people. And crowds of people. And individual people within crowds. Really, I don't have a carnival mentality.

I got some concrete scientific-like evidence to support the fact that I am just a show of willpower away from being a nonsmoker (my carbon monoxide in my lungs is only 1 ppm over that of a nonsmoker; mine's 8, Julia's is 25 in comparison), a little Geico gecko toy, a bunch of candy (including some I haven't seen in ages! yay for candy tent), and a new wallet. Plus some other stuff but that's the important stuff.

Oh, and an adorable picture of two cows snuggling. I'll upload that later.

My god, my legs are wrecked right now though. 45 minutes of treadmill/elliptical plus five hours of walking about equals oh god ow ow ow why. And I'm feeling more than usually misanthropic.

To counteract that, let me be generous and give you the brand-fucking-new cover of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon, covered by Paramore on BBC Live Lounge. I love Live Lounge, they bring such awesome covers into the world.

And now that it's Saturday, on the off chance he sees it: Happy birthday, scottya21!

Ahahaha, I just went back through my "unsorted" Scrapbook pics and wow, all of the old stuff is SO WEIRD. Especially from the days of Mac/PC fandom, with the whole extensions to that little crackventure (Jason Schwartzman as Linux, Seth Green as Firefox, Jason Bateman as IE and Kristin Bell as iPod? lol. just, lol.), that was a trip to come across. xD

Pictures from 138 Brinkerhoff, back when I was a godless libertine still, but a godless libertine in good and constant company. Fuck, I miss those days.

Icons I made for my flist, god, how many years ago? At least three. I know that victoriansquid still uses hers!

Pictures from 2006. Oh my god, getting my first tattoo. I can't believe I've had ink for three years now. God, pictures from when I still lived in the dorms. (in amongst lots of pics of hot guys, in case any of you are bored and want eye candy.)


I'm only 24, how is it I can look back and wonder when was I ever that young?


Aha! Here it is, the image I was looking for all along, one of the first (if not the first) headers for this journal I made myself.



There. Autumnal, properly ready for it with my Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead quote and everything. Now I can go make my autumn icon.



This is not how I expected to feel when I finally found this pic. Wistful's supposed to be a gentle emotion, not one that hits like a truck being chased by an angry state trooper.

Just because I can:

Comment if you want an icon. I will choose one of your interests from your profile and make you one.

Of course, if you want a specific image, you can leave me that, but otherwise? You get my whimsy, chickadees.



that fucking skunk is still prowling the neighborhood. if I call animal control, will they just laugh at me if I ask them to catch it? is there a public option I can tap to have someone deal with this? >.>

Yeah, so, sleep. I hear people do that sometimes and it's nice.

My dreams haven't exactly been the sort I'm eager to throw myself back into lately. For as tired out as I should be (am) that shouldn't really matter, except I'm still awake, and every time I think bed? the part of me that isn't asking flinches a little. So no, no bed. Not now.


...oh.

This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but. No wonder I can't sleep. I haven't written, not anything more than a song-length drabble anyway, in almost a full month. No wonder my head's too full and I'm heartsick any time I let my mind wander. There's no place for it to wander to. My escapism is broken.


Well, hell. Figuring that out doesn't actually solve the problem of my complete lack of inspiration.

I'm making all the icons asked for between 6 am and now. So while you're waiting, you should help me out and oh shit not these things again go click my UniCreatures okay plz? :D?

but most importantly this one. ♥

Yoinked from tiptoe39:

PROMPT ME: Pick one of my icons here and I'll write you a drabble based on said icon.

Still making icons for those of you who asked, still taking requests if anyone else wants one.


I made enchiladas for dinner. Mmm. Probably shouldn't have followed it up with a Drumstick ice cream though. Not the wisest gastronomic decision ever.
