Alright so I've finally uploaded some new icons, I'm sorry most of them aren't fantastic and it's only a small upload, but there's a huge twilight one that I'm preparing for tomorrow. I'm also planning on working on this whole twilight-iconing problem I seem to have, and am endevouring to find some new things to icon :P (as you can see, this is my first attempt. Lol. At least I got SOMETHING done :P)

( Attempt #1 )

So 2009 is here, and 10 days in and I'm fairly sure I've broken all my New Years resolutions (but that's the point, right?), and I'm back from my mini-vacation, so now it's time for a bit of an update :)

The main reason why I haven't posted anything really is quite simple... essentially, I'm a very lazy person, and 2008 was a busy year :) a friend of mine also passed away recently, and that was more than a little confusing for me, and def not in a headspace to be creative until very recently... but enough excuses!

That being said, I've also been working on a twilight fic that started off whimsical, and is now edging into colossal-sized territory, so that's been keeping me very busy since exams ended in November. I have been making graphics, just nothing worth posting until recently, so I'll post in a week or so, when I have enough to make it worth it :)

hope everyone had a fantastic new year, and thanks for bearing with me! :)

Sorry about the delay. My life suddenly took a turn for the chaotic, and the past three weeks translated onto paper could only look like a Jackson Pollock. Only, not so creatively brilliant.

Anyhoo here are the C-con icons as promised (I couldn't help but slip a few Rob ones in :P ) I'm working on a few more non-Twilight ones at the moment, but I probably won't post those for a while (I already have assignments due *sigh*)

( blaaaaaaaaaah. )

Ok I know I promised some more non-Rob Comic-con icons a few days ago (ie 10) but I got back from Canberra about 24 hours ago, and upon my return I decided to launch myself into Breaking Dawn.

All I can say is woah.

I absolutely loved it. I was a little shocked at first, but I adored it. All of it. I won't say any more because I don't want to spoil anyone, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth a read... and a few re-reads ;) A perfect ending to the saga... although if you ask me, it's not over yet ;)

Which brings me to why my icons are late. I pulled an all-nighter last night trying to finish BD (which I did :D ) and had Uni all day today, and I didn't exactly sleep the night before (who knew my 7 year old cousin's snores could drown out a cement mixer?), so all in all I haven't really had time... I'll try and get them up tomorrow night after I get back from Uni :)

Anyhoo I hope everyone enjoys BD :)

Kung Fu Panda, and The Dark Knight. Neither could be farther from each other in terms of subject matter, but both I found to be incredibly enjoyable. Also, I have to go to Canberra for 4 days. Ugh. I hate Canberra. I'm taking Twilight and my DS to try and fend off the boredom, but this is Canberra we're talking about. The only people who can fend off boredom in Canberra are the people who actually live there and have protocols in place, and of course the Uni students, but ANU isn't on my list of destinations, so that's not an option. Maybe I should take New Moon as well... and Eclipse... Harry Potter?

Kung Fu Panda (yes I know it's a kids movie, but I'm not that mature, so I thought it justified :D ) I thought would just be another Disney flick that didn't quite meet the standards of the Disney movies of the days of old (namely the Lion King, Aladdin, 101 Dalmations... you get the drift :) ). I was pleasantly wrong, the characters were loveable, the story was amusing, and it was actually funny, something I didn't expect :P

The Dark Knight however, was something else entirely. I thought Batman Begins was dark, until that is, I saw the Dark Knight. Suddenly, it was as bright and shiny as Kung Fu Panda. But that doesn't mean it wasn't incredible. The performances were amazing, and I know everyone is saying this, but especially Heath Ledger. In my opinion, he actually stole the entire movie. He played the Joker, to steal the words of a very good friend of mine, very much like the Joker in the Batman animation series. I don't want to give too much away if anyone hasn't seen it, but it is definitely worth going to see :) Christian Bale, although slightly outshone, is amazing once again and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent surprised me. I'm usually not a massive fan of his (I don't know why. I'm just not. I can't really explain it. Meh.), but I thought he was fantastic. That's coming from someone who usually just uses 'meh' ;)

Anyway before I continue on a ramble and this post becomes spoiler-city, I'd just like to add that my resource post has been updated ;) and there's only 5 more days till Breaking Dawn! Yay! :D

All I can say is Wow. Those videos from the Comic-Con in San Diego made my jaw drop. All you could hear was people screaming their heads off every time someone on the Twilight Panel opened their mouth (including - no, especially - Rob). It looked absolutely crazy, I actually felt a little sorry for them all they all looked so nervous... Anyway, out of the many, many pictures taken that day I saw a few that I just had to icon... :P so here they are, a fresh set of icons of Rob Pattinson :) I should have some more Comic-Con icons (with Kristen :P ) and a few others up soonish :)

( Weeeeee! )

As Always...
- credit is a must
- comments = <3
- friend me if you like my stuff :)

I'll post these in a community when I've finished the other Comic-Con ones ;)

Heya all, sorry this took a little longer than 'this evening', life got in the way yesterday *rolls eyes*

Anyhoo here are the promised icons (they're not all too fantastic I'm afraid), and as an added bonus, I've actually made some that aren't Twilight related :P (I mean, the majority are Twilight related - but thats not my point ;) )

I'll repost some of these in other communities later (once again, life is getting in the way, *sigh* ) but for now enjoy :)

As always please:
- credit if taking
- comments = <3
- friend me if you like my stuff :)

(  *insert something funky here* ;)  )

:)

*can't decide which icon to use*, ah well, Wenty will do :)
With my computer back on track (one day of re-downloading apps turned into three) I've decided to post a whole bunch of the icons I've re-made in the past few days and the few that I'd made prior to the crash that I've been able to recover :)

Unfortunately, there's over 200 of them, and the laptop I've borrowed to use in the interim is a dinosaur, so it's going to take a while... (but at the moment, I'm happy with pretty much any progress :D ) So here's a sampler, the rest will be uploaded later this evening!

1	2	3	4	5
6	7	8	9	10

Amongst the finished results will be icons not just from Twilight (for once :P) but also from Dexter, a few Wentworth Miller and a few commissions I did for profilercharlee of Rob Morrow, and a few Digimon ones, cause I was feeling nostalgic ;) But more on that later... enjoy!

Well, let me start with the Good News.

- My computer is alive, and in one piece (alive = functioning)
- It is now back in my possession
- I have a new external harddrive which is pretty and red and shiny. It can also carry 350 GB of whatever I want to put on it :D
- Everything on it up to a week before my computer died was backed up.

Heres the Bad stuff. :(

All the graphics that I made (and was going to repost) are irretrievable and I've lost a significant amount of my resources. I can regain my resources, but re-doing the graphics will take a while. But, I will recover :D

All that I need to do now is reconfigure my computer (It had to be completely stripped of everything, so I'm facing a fun day full of re-installations and "ok"ing) and I'll be on those graphics like Bella on Edward. Ha. I've actually been going through Photoshop withdrawal :P

Bad news... unfortunately my faithful laptop, which has been serving me well since yr 11, has had a slight medical issue and can no longer turn itself on. Well, to be exact, it turns itself on but can't turn Windows on, so literally it just shows me my wallpaper and that's that.

I'm taking that as a good sign, because I'm hoping it means that all of my stuff (Uni notes, icons, PHOTOSHOP!!!) is still there, but at this point in time I honestly have no idea. Luckily I have copies of most of my icons here on LJ and photobucket, but the ones made by other people and the ones I've been working on since my exams are possibly gone... I really hope not.

So as soon as I get my computer back from the repair place I should know the fate of my graphics and other such important documents, and pending those results I'll post some more stuff as soon as I can... Honestly? I miss photoshop already :P

I've been thinking over the past few days, mostly about silly things like what I feel like for lunch, or which textures I want to use on some graphics I've been thinking about, or if I should splurge and buy a new pair of sunglasses. Just, regular, silly stuff. But then my thoughts did a bit of a 180 and I found myself doing something that I never imagined doing, and thinking back to my school days and what's changed since then, apart from the obvious fact that I don't go there anymore.

I mean, apart from that one fact, has anything actually changed? Physically I'm older, I have another scar (I'm awesomely co-ordinated), and my hair is a little blonder. Go figure. I have a job (three actually) and I'm at Uni, dusting the cobwebs off the 'intellectual' side of my brain and remembering exactly how much exams suck. But that's all just physically, and I guess the stress and study bit are a little bit mental. But have I really changed from the person that I was back in 2006? or before then? Have I given myself enough time to change or is that just another excuse?

I've never really used my LiveJournal for anything like this before, in a more this-is-a-serious-journal aspect, so in a way this is kind of a first post. In an age where social networking is most commonly associated with the internet, exactly how much of the stuff that we put on our Facebooks and Myspaces or whatever represents ourselves? I know what all the stuff I've posted here means, but how much of that can be conveyed through a few brief sentences, some icons and a request to credit? But how much of that is seen by the person on the other side of these posts, can whatever I say be interpreted differently? No, thats silly. Of course it can. I guess I'm going off on a tangent, although I'm not entirely certain what my intentions were when I started to type this entry. Maybe I'm thinking about this too much, because for someone who supposedly doesn't care about what other people think I've been thinking about other people's thoughts a lot.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what is change? how do we know that we've changed if we're the ones doing it? How do we know it just isn't like growing, where it happens so gradually to something that you see every day that you just don't notice it, or is it more like an explosion, a sudden difference brought on by an equally sudden occurance. I know the definition of change, and I know that change can be good or bad or it can somehow land in the grey area between the two. Exactly how insane do I sound right now? or stupid. Maybe I'm just having a moment of insecurity. Maybe I'm over-thinking this and asking myself way too many questions that I clearly can't answer at this point. Maybe I should have studied 'changes' instead of 'journeys' during the HSC, not that I think I'd have much more clarity on the subject if I did. Although I'd certainly be able to list the Feminist, Marxist and Racist interpretations of change in King Lear if I had. Again, not helpful.

But I am certain about one, and in my opinion big, thing. No matter who I am now and how different a person I am to the 18 year old me (who's skin I was living in less than two years ago), there isn't much that I would change about my past. Certainly there are some decisions I wish I hadn't made, like snapping back at someone who was really ticking me off one day or not explaining to my friends why I was upset when they were all furious and refused to talk to me for three weeks. But I have no regrets. All those decisions led me to where I am now, and who knows where I would be if I wasn't here. Possibly better off, possibly worse. Who knows.

My only regret is that I spent most of high school in fear. I was afraid to try and fail. Terrified of it. I wasn't in Primary, but for some reason the fear seemed to kick in with puberty. In a way I still am afraid now, or maybe I'm just more conscious of it at the moment. There's not really much more to say about the matter really. I also have a bit of a feeling that the comment I made about my friends is going to come back and bite me on the ass. But, whatever. By the time anyone reads this (If anyone reads this) I would have had the time to edit it out, even though I probably won't. I can't believe that it took me this long to get to the point. I mean, I think this might be more than what I wrote for my Tiberius Gracchus essay. Who knew I could write so much about something I knew so little about. Honestly I didn't intend for this post to sound so depressing, but for some reason it does sound a little dark. A little grey at least. Don't worry, I'll go look at a photo of RPattz (Spunk Ransom!) and eat some chocolate chip cookies and I'll be fine, back to making graphics and watching One Tree Hill like I was a few hours ago. But even after all this thought and journal-writing, I still don't really have an answer. Have I changed, how do I know if I've changed, and would someone else see it the same way. I know that no two people ever see the exact same thing, but beyond that, I'm absolutely clueless. And I haven't even considered what tags I'm going to use on this post yet.

Finally. My last exam (as of... a few hours ago) is finally over, and now I can kick back, relax, make some icons, and play with my new phone :) For those of you who are in the know, my old one drowned (it's a long story involving rowing boats and thirteen year olds) a few months back and ever since I've been using my dad's old phone, which is seriously older than the Nokia 3310 for those who remember, which has slowly been driving me insane. It randomly turned itself off, and for a solid week decided not to deliver my text messages until 4:45 am on Sunday morning when it delivered all 34 at once. That's what I call talent :P It also put me off my ringtone, which wasn't so awesome considering it was the only decent one it possessed.

But, my little 'vacation' into the Dark Ages is now gone, and I have a new one! It has colour and everything! :D No seriously, I really do love it, it's a Nokia N78 and now I can watch the Twilight clip wherever I want :P JK, I'm not, but I like the fact that I could if I wanted too :)

So now with my new-found freedom, I have decided to attempt some wallpapers for phones, amongst other graphic ideas that have been piling up since mid-April and will be posting the results soon :) I'm also going to re-read Twilight, so expect a few fangirl moments here and there :)

Here are the banners that I was talking about last night :) I had fun with these to be honest, and I don't think they turned out too badly :P As you can see I made a few different variations, so let me know which one you like best :)

As usual post if you snag and let me know what you think, credit (don't steal as your own!) and please don't hotlink :)

( And I'll take you for who you are, If you take me for everything... )

:)

I know I'm a little late, but I got distracted :)

First, let me just say that that was the single, most difficult exam I have ever sat. It was hard, and now it's over, and I refuse to think about it beyond that :P

Now that's all done, I spent most of my afternoon asleep (anyone surprised? no? ;)) and only decided at about midnight that I'd start another banner. Don't ask me why, but in the end I think they worked out well (One evolved into Five, mostly because I'm indecisive and am posting more than one variation of the same thing). I'll post them later (its 5am, I need to be awake in two hours) but for now I've updated my journal layout so it shows my favourite version :)

Hey guys, this is going to be a really short post I'm absolutely exhausted (I've been studying all day, and I have a cold) so please bare (bear? oh boy...) with me I tend to become a little self-absorbed when this happens...

Here are three banners that I made from (you guessed it) the pics of Rob and Kris at the MTV movie awards. I'd also like to take a moment to note that the hearts can all be attributed to the cold-and-flu tabs :) Anyway enjoy and I'll post again on the 12th :)

( MTV Banners go here )

P.S. I updated my new resource post and put up a new header too :)

Here are some more resources that I've been using most recently, I decided that my last Resource Post was so messy that I have to re-do it :) It's not completely re-done, but there's a link to the old post and I should be adding stuff quite regularly! Take Care! :)
