Odds and Ends...

So, yes, I feel conflicted slightly. I want good fiction. A lot of good fanfic.

But I also am totally feeling icon love. I hate that I don't have a paid account and can only look and go "oo..." but may well dabble in trying to make some. The problem is that money should go elsewhere, to things I need... such as new shoes, or jeans that aren't ripped, or, I don't know... getting the locks fixed on my car... >.<

Also, MUST write fics. ;) Promised Ariel a "Five Things" Glinda fic, and promised Theanna a "Five Things" Obi-Wan fic. I at least have "things" in mind.

And I am SO totally avoiding Batman like the plague. Good lord, save me, the fandom is *screaming* at me to come play. But I won't! Not until I see the movie. Oh, this will not be pretty. I'm bracing myself for full immersion into Batdom. It happens periodically on its own, I can only imagine what a shiny, new movie will do... not only that, but a shiny, new movie that Pays Attention to Canon! will do...

Yikes.

Also, ( Quick summary of meeting my mentor teacher on Monday... or one of them, anyway... )

And so on Saturday I travel 2 hours to take a 2 hour test. Damn standardized testing and this "highly qualified" business. So, studying my BUTT off this week, because I took a practice test without studying and got 87% correct... 81 of 93. But the actual test is 120 questions, and they are weighted... so some matter more than others.

With my luck, it will be the social studies and science questions... or the math will be high school level math, even though they say it won't be. I got 100% in the language arts section, though! Go me!!

( Speaking of language arts and tests... )

So, just a hodge podge of a post tonight, but my brother's been a JERK lately about letting me use the computer. I hate that about being home. Grrr... and he's getting that attitude back, and ACK. Whatever.

I'm gonna go find me some good fic, or some perdy icons to ooh and ahh at. ::nods:: Or open a Word file and vent some anger. Hmm...

Something interesting, anyway...

Yeah, so I've mentioned the icon love lately, right? Last night I messed around in Photoshop because my internet on my laptop was stupid.

So, I had found some screencaps at cap_it and I opened a bunch and just kind of resized the ones I liked.

Wound up staying up until 2 (when I started at 11), making about 45 bases... or bases for bases. Because when it comes down to it, I just resized and cropped. Which was actually very fun and I'm quite proud of myself.

Have a bunch more in mind to do, and then I'll probably work on messing around and actually creating icons from them... :) Woo!

But thought I'd share the ones I've loaded into Photobucket... or some of them, anyway. Examples:



( The rest are Grey's Anatomy, too )

So, that's all for now. Made 22 of GA, and then 23 of The Last Unicorn... although I made 4 from 1 pic, just cropping and sizing it differently. Mostly proud of those. Just have slooow internet when it comes to uploading, so... heh.

Just bored is all. And avoiding the studying... heh.
