If you can believe it,
Some of the posts in this journal are Friends-Locked!  (gasp!)


Public posts will most likely be:
 - Finished fanarts
 - Fandom-related thoughts
 - Various meaningless memes and quizzes
 - Irrelevant opinions
 - Craft projects

Meanwhile...
F-Locked posts may contain any or all of the following:
 - Complaints about RL
 - Non-fandom art
 - Lists of unfinished projects
 - Banal squeeing over random shit
 - Anxiety-laden, self-indulgent, emo-esque cries for attention

You see now what horrors I subject my "friends" to?

So...if you're still tempted, go ahead and friend me and then comment here.  If I recognize you from somewhere and your journal doesn't hurt my eyes, I'll add you to my pool of victims F-list. 
It's just that easy! 

Have a wonderful day!

Now that I've finally managed to get a good (aka: not from my cellphone) picture of it, I wanted to show off my Christmas gift from sharpeslass and jedishampoo !

And I hope everyone's Holiday was good!

Happy Birthday, sharpeslass !

Sorry it's not very smutty.   ;D

Alright...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while. I'm still a little overwhelmed with moving and Christmas...not making much progress at either.  The stress has made me into a real pill lately.

I'm also working on some fanarts, but they aren't coming out very well. I know I just have to keep practicing, practicing, practicing... I need to keep drawing anything I can until it feels more natural. I have to make sure I set aside time for it.

*sigh*

Anyway...

I watched Alpha Dog a couple of weeks ago. It stars Emile Hirsch (of course), Justin Timberlake, Ben Foster and many others.  
It's based on a true story about the youngest guy to end up on the FBI's Most Wanted list. The names have all been changed, but supposedly everything else in the movie is pretty much how it really happened.
It was a very dark movie, but it was also very good.

( spoilers and stuff )

That was the third Emile Hirsch movie on my list. Luckily, he's young and hasn't been in very many things so it won't take me too long to get through them all.
Into the Wild was in my mailbox when I got home today, so I'll watch that soon.


OK... has anyone else NOT been getting email comment notices from LJ? Or at least getting them anywhere from 3 to 24 hours later? Is there some setting I need to change to fix that?


I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving!

(yeah, I'm probably the last one on this bandwagon, but them's the rules...)

DIRECTIONS:
* reply to this post with the word MEME ME! and I will pick six of your icons.
* make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
* other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
* this will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.

Picked up from jedishampoo, who chose the following:

( probably worksafe...probably. )

Ok, I just finished watching The Mudge Boy, starring Emile Hirsch.

I'm not sure what to think about it, but I believe I'm a little disturbed.

( complete spoilers for the whole thing )

And yet somehow it was a pretty good movie.    I'm totally confused.

Has anyone else seen this movie?

So I kind of got suckered into knitting a couple of pairs of socks. 

I've never knitted a pair of socks before so this is kind of cool.  I've knitted single socks, but no pairs.  Second-Sock- Syndrome...I've got it bad.

But not this time!!!  Mwahahahaha!

(  a picture and details )


And as background noise I've been watching The Karate Kid trilogy on Hulu...what has become of me?!


BTW:  I won't be able to read another knitting blog without thinking about that crazy lady who starved her step-daughter.  So creepy!

Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that I probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Star Trek, as it's the only thing I can think of that my parents EVER had in common.

Gah! There's nothing quite like getting out of town and breaking my totally depressing routine! I love it!

( Warning: good mood ahead )

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

It's 4am...I'm going to bed.
