Dear Icon Goddesses On My F-list,

Where does one find a batch of Anne Hathaway icons from The Devil Wears Prada? Or Alyson Hannigan icons from How I Met Your Mother?

Despite all my attempts not to, I have fallen for Lost.

Oh, dear. *facepalm*

According to the Lexicon and Harry Potter Wiki, Alecto Carrow:

"...is described as being a stocky little woman, and shares several qualities with her brother such as his squatness and his wheezy giggle."

Yeah. I'm tempted to just screw canon and get on with my own preferred PB, especially seeing as NONE of the Alecto's I've ever seen have been anything less than pretty and/or beautiful.

Adding to that, my preferred PB is apparently only 14. DOES RUBY ALDRIDGE LOOK 14 TO YOU (and there's also the issue that her hair is more brown than black, but Eva Green's hair is more brown than black and people use her for Bellatrix all the time, so...ARGH)? I mean, there's about ten other PBs I wouldn't mind using and all, but...Ruby.

Title: Fences
Song: "Fences" by Paramore
Rating: G-PG
Character/Pairing: Jenny Humphrey
Spoilers: Clips up to 1x18: Much "I Do" About Nothing, but not particularly spoilery
Summary: The rise and fall of a 9th grade social-climber :: Don't you know by now / You can't turn back / Because this road is all you'll ever have
Watch: YouTube, iMeem

Notes: At first, I'd intended to make a sympathetic Jenny vid to combat all the Jenny-hate, but this...definitely isn't it. I think "Fences" is the perfect Jenny song. She's not cut out to be Queen Bee so every day she stays on top she loses a bit of herself, yet she can't back down.  This was really fun to make, and definitely took me the shortest time (one week, I am a very slow vidder, LOL). *g* Enjoy!

 
Next Project: House and Amber centric finale vid (House M.D.)

I started watching Firefly recently and I've been gabbing about it non-stop on my LJ and doing crazy picspams when I should be doing my homework so I thought I'd post this here because it's PRETTY!

I watched the clip of River battling the Reavers from Serenity and it was so beautiful I had to picspam it. I cried as soon as Simon got shot. I cried while I chose caps. I cried while I colored them, and I'll probably be full on bawling by time I actually get around to watching the whole movie. Usually for picspams I try to make caps brighter and bring out hiddin color, but for this I made most of the caps darker and focused on the blue tones. For some, all you can see is River's silhouette and the light around her. And that's all you need because the scene's about light, and motion, and loss. It's beautiful that way.

( Ouch I have lost myself again / Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found / Yeah I think that I might break / Lost myself again and I feel unsafe / Be my friend / Hold me, wrap me up / Unfold me / I am small / And needy / Warm me up / And breathe me )

Someone find me an appropriate dark-haired, awkward-looking male PB that looks about 16, plz.

(Just not Nicholas Hoult because he is taken and now I kind of want to kick something because he was MY PERFECT TOM. *pouts*)

  

According to Scribbld it's baobabble's b-day today! So happy birthday Sara! And if Scribbld is lying and it really isn't your birthday then this post will have become mildly embarassing but uh, at least Blake is pretty?

 I need you to tell me: who looks the most like a young 20 something popstar who used to be Persephone in a past life?

THE FIRST PERSON WHO CAN TELL ME HOW TO MAKE SKINS CAPS NOT LOOK LIKE CRAP IN PHOTOSHOP GETS A FREE INTERNET COOKIE. 

Er, this is just so I can straighten out a couple of PB related issues I have for Ismene and her family. Feel free to ignore or contribute!

ISMENE LYRA NOTT - 7th year Slytherin (17)
A happy, friendly person who has friends in all Houses and has people going "How the fuck did she get into Slytherin?" Until she gets mad. When she feels she (or a person she cares about) has been wronged she won't hesitate to "accidentally" slip poison in someone's pumpkin juice, or maybe cut off all someone's hair while their sleeping, or turn someone's skin green. For a year.
   ---> Hannah Murray

Mother: 
Evelyn Grace Nott nee Gallagher (36)
   ---> Rachel Weisz
   ---> Rosamund Pike

Father: 
Leonardo Richard Nott (40)
   ---> Gerard Butler

Siblings:
Madeline Ava Nott (15)
   ---> Emily Browning
   ---> Ellen Page

Anabel Calliope Nott (10)
   ---> Adair Tishler

Antony Tristan Nott (10)
   ---> Colin Ford

Tell me which is the more interesting character concept for a female 7th year Slytherin:

A) One of those bossy boots people. Thinks she knows best, looks down on most people, etc. etc. She can get snippy and will most likely bitch at you at least once a week but is mostly harmless.

B) A happy, friendly person who has friends in all Houses and has people going "How the fuck did she get into Slytherin?" Until she gets mad. When she feels she (or a person she cares about) has been wronged she won't hesitate to "accidentally" slip poison in someone's pumpkin juice, or maybe cut off all someone's hair while their sleeping, or turn someone's skin green. For a year.

I AM FINALLY BACK, THANK GOD.

I've been MIA for the past three days because I was at a DECA conference which I will recap later (I have to leave for a dentist appointment in like an hour -_-). Said conference was insane, you wouldn't think anything interesting would happen with a bunch of marketing geeks but four people from our school ended up suspended and one was even expelled.

Also, the hotel wouldn't let you use the Internet unless you had a credit card and my iPod headphones broke while I was on the bus (no really, they worked in the morning but I got on the bus and then they broke) so I am going through No-Technology-Available withdrawl symptoms.

So anyway, IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK. ♥

1) Make a list of 10 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them. IE: "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.

Okay, I am seriously spazzing out here. I have this huge ass History project due on Monday, which I haven't exactly been focusing on and I have to do so much homework before tomorrow which in iteself wouldn't be such a catastrophe except with said History project I have a partner and we have not communicated this entire weekend and if we don't e-mail my teacher this stupid thing by tomorrow WE GET A ZERO. And yeah, I don't exactly have the stuff I need with me since it's on my school account and I never e-mailed it to myself since I thought I could just do it on Friday, only we had a SNOW DAY of Friday, and yeah I was elated then but now I am so, so, freaked and I have no idea what to do, and I AM GOING TO FAIL OMIGOD. 

I probably should have e-mailed my teacher about this on Friday, but I didn't and if I e-mail her now what if she thinks it's only because I'm trying to generate an excuse or something?  Should I just e-mail her now? I have no freaking idea since I don't really know my History teacher that well; like how I know that my English teacher would totally shut me down about how this was unacceptable but my Latin teacher would give me like a four day extension if this happened. Just ARGH. And my friend told me that my teacher never checks her e-mail anyway, so it probably wouldn't get to her until tomorrow morning and I'd still be screwed. 

Best case scenario she decides to be nice and have the project not due until Tuesday but I don't think she'll do that and I feel so stressed right now. I just wish someone would tell me what to do, so I can stay up until 4:00 A.M. or whatever but at least I'd get it done, and just....crap. I am so screwed.

NOTE TO SELF: 
--> It is not a very good idea to listen to your iPod on shuffle at 1:00 A.M. in the morning. 
--> Sooner or later you will be OMGSOINSPIRED!!! to make a Black Family fanmix. 
--> You will realize while making album art that Ben Jelen does not have a fansite. Or a very suitable gallery. 
--> You will not be able to handle not having Sirius in said album art and scour Google looking for good images. There are none.
--> You will be ridiculously grumpy the next day from only getting 4 hours of sleep.

The point of this being that staying up late to do these things on a school night = bad idea. And also IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE PICTURES OF BEN JELEN ON YOUR COMPUTER SPAM ME K? WITH A ZIP, OR INDIVIDUAL IMAGES OR WHATEVER. NO, SERIOUSLY ANYTHING WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECTIATED. ♥ 

LOVE, Me
