The Icon Faerie

I haven't updated since before Christmas, so happy belated Christmas/Winter Holiday of your choice.

sal;kfj sorry watching series four Doctor Who and Rose just appeared on the screen behind the Doctor. (Watching Midnight. It also has Colin Morgan being a woobie, as he does.)

Christmas was good. The food was delicious, my family was great, and gifts were a hit. I got some DVDs that I'd put on my list, a computer game called Mystery in London that's unraveling the Jack the Ripper mystery (so naturally I am on board). I got a new straightening iron for my hair, jeans, and a gift card to Lane Bryant that I can use when our 60% Fashion Week rolls around. \o/ My grandmother also got me a Snuggie. Yes. Those fleece blankets with sleeves in it. Those things that my dad and I make fun of on late night TV. We found many alternative uses for it, including a bathrobe, being a monk, and playing Fruma Sarah in Fiddler on the Roof. I got a lot of books too! Inkdeath, and A Lion Among Men (which means I'll actually have to read Son of a Witch), and Tales of Beedle the Bard, as well as a book about Venice, and Mental_Floss's History of the World, and books two through four of the Temeraire series. I bought the first book at the same time as I bought Game of Thrones, and we all saw how that turned out.

The one thing I didn't get was Spring Awakening tickets, so I will probably find the dough to go, if by myself. I don't really want to go by myself but I can't really pay for someone to go with me and I wouldn't ask somebody else to cough up that money just so I wouldn't have to be alone. :\ Because there is no way I am missing the tour. :|

I wasn't supposed to work today but Lane Bryant called me in. Bah. But since I'm taking a week off for Kitty to be here, I should probably be taking all the hours people can give me.

One more chapter of fathersandsons to go. I was working on some icons for valyrian_forged but I don't think that the set is going to be done before the first game is done. I'll probably just have to post as many as I have done and then post the finished set later.

OMG, want it now mommy.

I haven't been writing much, because not much has been happening. It's been a slow, peaceful week with just me and the cats, and they have been in and out and making the I WUV YOU face at me when I have food and they don't. I cleaned the house last week because I wanted a nice clean house to be alone in (I dunno, something about being in a clean place makes me more relaxed), but it's kind of gotten dirty/cluttered again. Probably because I just bring all my crap out here to the couch and leave it instead of putting it back.

My goal is to finish A Clash of Kings by Thursday when I go after Mandy and Kitty (I'm reading so fast but it's so long ;_;).

I had another phone interview today with the district manager of Movie Gallery. Still playing the waiting game. Whatever.
ETA: Okay, snap, forget that. I have the job and I'm starting August 5th.

I had a fanfic bunny bu-ut I can't decide how to approach it. I think it can be done, and I can do it, but it's kind of like figuring out how you're going to build a set once you have a design.

Yes. I just made that comparison.

Rhapsody in Blue by copperbadge.

If you have not read this fic yet and bowed down and worshipped fangirled commented and praised him on his lovely work, you should do so now. And when I say now I mean fifteen minutes ago.

Yayee! Its another read-in night at my house! My siblings and I will read a book outloud, and ocassionally, fanfic. We did it last Christmas with Draco Dormiens, and we're doing it again tonight with AtE! Mwah ha ha! I will bring them over to the dark side light yet!

The Man With the Golden Wand, Chapter 3.

Or, "What Happens When You Promise Diri a Review and Don't Deliver".

Read Snow White, Harry Potter Style. You know you want to. Stories with sentences like, "No matter how mighty Voldemort was, he was unable to bear children, so he hated Princess Harry with all his heart" are just too good to pass up.

And, ( An excerpt from NaNo novel, 'Where Valor Proudly Sleeps' )

'He wouldn't have stood a chance,' joked Oliver, looking happier than he did a while ago. 'He's got a sword and a pony, I've got a wand and a broomstick, you're as good as mine.'

Zeft, you've converted me.

No! Just...no! If you are going to make no attempt to use proper capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and spelling, I am not, repeat, NOT going to exert the effort it takes to press the mouse button and scroll down the e-mail containing your story. It takes all of two minutes to use your spell check. Typos and mix ups like 'there' and 'their', I can stand, we are only human after all, but for JESUS CHRIST'S SAKE people. You can have the most fascinating plot on the face of the earth, but it won't matter if people can't read your bleeding story!

I have no more words to describe how incredibly disgusted and insulted I am. Ugh. I need a shower.

When he came to the Academy earlier that year, Oliver Wood had taken a particular interest in Ginny. He had quit Puddlemere after discovering second rate Quidditch players didn’t get paid very well. He had decided to pursue another interest of his: ordering people around.

:D

If you are a Draco/Ginny shipper in the slightest way, I order you over to the Draco/Ginny Fanfic Archive and read "Caput Draconis" by StrangerWithMyFace and lavish her with wonderful praise. strangerface
