icon status update.

Hey, guys! I just wanted to let you all know that I will be continuing to make icons, but I'll be posting them over at dalek @ insanejournal. All of my old icons will continue to be archived here, but all of my new icons will be posted there.

Happy Christmas!

sigh.

To quote Harrison, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

But I'm over it. Since my other public post didn't go through, my CDJ is now going to be over at IJ via ~heyjude. Haven't decided if I'm going to repost all of my icons over there or not, but I'll try and keep everyone updated.

lady stardust yo~

okay, off to rocky horror with me :D

plea for help.

My computer finally died, so I've hooked up my room one to the internet in the living room. Sigh.

To that end, could anyone send me PSP? I don't have it on this computer (I think I originally got it from .. Marie. Whoa, that was a long time ago), and otherwise I think I'm going to have to stop making icons. Gah.

On a lighter note, I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow! WHOOOOOOO.

f-list, assemble!

okay, frequent shutdowns i could handle. but this is too much D:

COMPUTER HALP, PLS?

i can no longer save files to my hard drive (as i recently discovered when attempting to save the new irina/pete candids >:O). this has extended to sendspace/other misc file sharing sites.

it's not a matter of disk space, as i apparently have something like 13.8 GB free. but every time i try to "save as...", nothing happens -- the little firefox "download" window doesn't pop up and the file goes nowhere. i've tried deleting a bunch of folders (mostly the piles upon piles of graphics work) and doing the file compression thing, but it's still not working.

however, i've tried copying images, pasting them into PSP, and saving them from there, and that's doing just fine. but that's kind of a hassle when i'm trying to save dozens of images at a time.

any ideas? frankly, i trust you guys more than some random faq site (and you're a lot clearer on the matter, as well).

this very well might be a case of "well, my computer's tired and going to die soon". though it can't really be more than two-three years old, it's been through a lot >> but i'm going to cross my fingers that that isn't the case.

if this problem can't be fixed, i can't say i'm going to be very productive in the way of making new icons/graphics. :/

EDIT: also, i really miss my brigid wenlock (angly), despite ... y'know, never having actually played her. but i really got into writing her up and blah.

DOUBLE EDIT: okay, it's looking like the problem is firefox. i've tried downloading stuff on IE, and it works just fine. but i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, and it's still being problematic. thoughts?

across. the. universe.

-- I think I'm officially obsessed with ATU.
-- Which I am seeing again tomorrow morning.
-- It is extremely good. Weak writing and a little choppy at the beginning, but it's a Beatles musical with an exceptional cast. How can I not like that?
-- I also made 50+ Jim Sturgess icons, even though he basically has the same expression in all of them.
-- I can't wait until the DVD comes out so I can make some of Joe Anderson.
-- Marilyn Manson, for the record, still scares me.
-- I should probably go to bed now.

dear jim and joe,

y'all can cross my universe whenever you want.

love, jen.

PS, 5000+ hits. whooooo!
sunni, i hope you documented the actual number.

pimpin.

screwthemod

I am now officially a co-mod! Hurray! Essentially a mythology game with a twist (in the vein of omg_ess, but with some plot tweaking), I am REALLY looking forward to this. Lynn, Kas, and Shay are all FANTASTIC players, to say nothing of their respective mod abilities, so it's going to be awesome. I'd love for everyone to go ahead and take a look.

PEE ESS: I just noticed that out of the held/taken characters, I'm playing the only girl. Every girl in the Greek, Egyptian, and Norse pantheons is open (save Psyche and Hathor, but Hathor's turned into a girl), so. Obvsly you should all look into Athena/a Valkyrie/Isis, etc. :D

sherri dupree update!

213 icons of Sherri Dupree thisaways! So much thanks to pronto, without whom I would've never gotten all those pictures.

[aude] if you ever loved me, baby

Jos is going to go batshit crazy, if only because of the "I CAN HAS FOODS NAO?!?!?!" jumping on couches Tom Cruise style he will be doing. If someone gives him a Vespa, he will drive it into a hotel.

There are also three alternatives as to what direction his life will be taking. Either he can continue with his music and become super famous (as little indie bands are wont to do these days?), stick with the music and go down with the ship, or just say "Screw it" altogether and be a lazy ass in Vegas with Tony & Co. Whatever way he goes, there will be a lot of rofls on my part.

Rhiana, Juliette needs to come to Aude now, kthnx.

As for Crystal, she needs to have a really pathetic crush on someone right about .. now. Probably unrequited, because actually getting into a relationship would make her head explode. Kind of like if she ever saw a donkey show. She kind of reminds me of Charlotte in regard to her reluctance to be exposed to Teh Inappropriateness, except she's generally smarter. And not Catholic.

comic con pics

y helo jabba.

heroes paintings!

.. moar heroes paintings.

pirates booth. cave. whatever.

dalekk & Dalek. i look a damn fool but i don't even care. ~~i look so much cuter in real life, i swear.~~

i really liked the Dalek?

lmfao the british guy who cosplayed as the doctor. the american one was cuter and reminded me of caradoc, but this one was just so funny and posed for me. xD

cyberman model.

dalek model.

~*~MYSTERIOUS~*~ doctor who models that "had not yet been approved" by the bbc. i really don't see the point of putting these on display if you're going to put a fucking VEIL over them. but i can see a foot poking out, yes i can! the doctor's kneeling? I AM NOT SURE. :o

lmao the power ranger helmets.

i also saw andy samberg, the blue power ranger, and noel clarke, but no pics. damn people move too fast. D:

OKAY, I know I've asked this before, but I figured I'd ask again.

View Poll: utopia much?

I'm also probably going to need a co-mod, since I suck at not-icon-graphics, unless Kas would like to volunteer? :DD

twosix - PHRASE USED BY SAILORS WHENEVER THEY DID SOMETHING RLY HARD.

When the foremast jacks were messing with the carronades during action, they would have to pull the guns back after each recoil so they could reload and fire again. The second and sixth position would be in front of the line to pull on the ropes to get the guns back, hence they would all yell "TWO, SIX!" Since, it was just something they said when they had to move something heavy/do something difficult.

THERE'S YOUR AGE OF SAIL TRIVIA FOR THE DAY. I'm still looking into working at the Surprise. In the meantime, let's go to Australia!

NAME: Jen.
AGE: 17.
EMAIL: trainunderwaterx@yahoo.com
AIM AND/OR OTHER CONTACT: aim – heart humming
RPG EXPERIENCE: ~~character list.~~ updated character list!

in character.

NAME: Remus John Lupin.
PB: Tom Atkin.
AGE / BIRTHDATE: 17/10 March 1969.
HOUSE / YEAR: Gryffindor, seventh.
AFFILIATION: Order of the Phoenix.
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual.
PERSONALITY: Like so many stereotypical nice guys, Remus only shows his frequent bouts of irritability to those closest to him. All too often, James, Sirius, and Peter will catch the brunt of Potions-related fury that the public isn’t privy to. But again, being the nice guy that he is, Lupin is always quick to apologise and the foursome carry on as though nothing has happened. It’s a rare occurrence, but it’s been known to happen and his friends are usually willing to humour him when the tirades come round, which almost always take place (wouldn’tcha know it?) around the full moon. As part of a give and take in the relationship, Remus therefore puts up with references to his “cycle” with relatively little protest.
But for the most part, Remus prefers to remain withdrawn, usually smiling in spite of himself as James and Sirius launch into their next endeavour. He's always there as the voice of reason and occasionally as a tech consultation of sorts (Will such and such work? Nah, too complex, best stick with this and that), but even after six years, Remus will do his best to talk the two ringleaders out of their newest scheme. It's more out of force of habit than anything else, and secretly he's even started a mischievous streak of his own under a certain Marauding influence.
His friends are largely his greatest weakness—since his childhood, he's been unused to having friends who accept him as he is. In the position of prefect, Dumbledore had hoped that Remus would help rein in the boys, but to no great avail. Remus finds he disagrees with the behaviour of Sirius and James quite often, but is reluctant to say anything. Poor Moony would far rather sit back and hope morale improves on its own.
And far be it from Moony to steal his friends' thunder. Remus is a far more powerful wizard in his own right than he likes to let on, and this is mainly because he knows James and Sirius enjoy the spotlight. He does mind having to take a step back every time there's a demonstration in Defence Against the Dark Arts, but he prefers not to think about it. After all, they were made for the position of Co-Golden Boys and Remus doubts he could take on the role of leader of the proverbial pack.
Therein lies his singular problem regarding his friends. Every action is hopelessly calculated, heavily weighed against the other option, until at long last Lupin is reduced to a quivering ball of nerves. He realises that not everyone is an obsessive-compulsive freak like himself, that not everyone takes everything into such harsh consideration, but he finds it hard to keep this in mind when Sirius carelessly flings one of his records across the dormitory like a frisbee.
HISTORY: Remus John Lupin was born on the tenth of March in Manchester to John and Orenda Lupin. Perfectly normal, if not a little precocious, Remus matured as babies do—forming their first proper grip, uttering their first proper bit of gibberish. While Remus was still learning to properly toddle in the back garden, he was nipped on the hand by one Fenrir Greyback—a nip that would send him off to the emergency unit of St. Mungo’s. There was some speculation as to the motive in the Hitwizard report, but John was certain it had something to do with the accumulating debt he owed to the Malfoy family. Either way, Remus's parents feared for their son's future—not much could be expected of a werewolf, after all. It was unheard of that he would attend Hogwarts, in the company of normal children. But when Dippet stepped down from the headmaster's post at the school, there was a glimmer of hope—Albus Dumbledore offered their son an education. There were certain conditions placed on his attendance, but Remus would go to school.
But there was a lot of kicking and screaming before he could be sent away. Remus had grown accustomed to being coddled by his mother and wasn't exactly keen on the idea of living with a bunch of fellow snot-nosed eleven year olds, something he didn't have much experience in—playing chess with Father and reading Paul Gallico in his room was his preference.
After a lot of crying and chocolate, Remus allowed himself at last to be (forcibly, after a split-second change of heart on Platform 9 ¾) placed on the Hogwarts Express. To his surprise, it was then and there he encountered the three people who would make his school experience bearable—Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. The four became inseparable, and his new friends supported him even after discovering his "furry little secret."
Since then, Remus has kept up with the best and brightest of his year and managed to find time to pal around in the Forbidden Forest during the full moon, head off to Hogsmeade (secretly, of course), and even begin composing a very interesting map of the school.

JOURNAL ENTRY: ballast
ROLE PLAYING: here!

OKAY, GUYS. I need help figuring out who I'm going to play at pirate game. SO, IT'S POLL TIME!

View Poll: is it james or william? GAWD.

my old master & commander fanfic is the BEST IN THE WORLD. you don't even know.

sunni, wanna join an age of sail/pirate game with me? :D

... now that i know how, i am so capping master & commander. and i wanna go back to the maritime museum and take pictures on the goddamn surprise.

aka the ship i might volunteer/work on, if i go to college locally.

also the ship they fitted for sail, last time i checked, so they'll need people to actually sail it.

i am far too enthusiastic about all this, but still. :DD

shay and i are looking for a new game. just suggest whatever you want, we'll consider most sane genres.

preferably something new, i'm hoping for a character/pb list that isn't too picked over.

REVAMP = OVER.

Sorry about the spam, guys. But I've combined all the related icon posts (80 Graham Coxon + 18 Graham Coxon = etc!) and all the links on the new directory have been fixed. Except for Nick Valensi, because I'm redoing all of those icons.

:DD
