I HAZ MOAR ICONS!!

Yes, I've succumbed to the allure of tiny, shiny pictures. 185 icons, bitches!

Which means now y'all need to point me in the direction of 100x100 awesomeness in the following categories:

BtVS (Dawn)
Chuck
Mad Men
Doctor Who
Community
Friday Night Lights

(ETA: Let's add The West Wing, Fringe, and BSG to that list. I'd like icons for them, too.)

Ready, set, go!

In one of the many gift shops we went in this week, my mom found a book titled, "Quit Your Job and Move to Key West." That's pretty much how I feel right now.

Vacation was AWESOME. I am so unbelievably freckled, it almost looks tan. (Seriously, WTF, parents? I am 3/4 Italian and I still ended up with the Irish freckle gene.) We had great weather, only one rainy morning, even if it was unusually chilly for this time of year and we couldn't really go in the water. I will probably be posting lots and lots about it once I get caught up on RL stuff and my flist (y'all were supposed to be BORING - I'm already 140 posts back looking for where I left off and no end in sight), and once my mother sends me the vacation pictures, which are all on her camera.

Also - and I say this with no hyperbole - best birthday EVER. I think we should do this every year. :) (It's kind of surprising, actually, considering that this confluence of my birthday, St. Patrick's Day, and Spring Break happens every year, that I've never done a trip this time of year.)

Now that I'm home, I feel oddly cut off from the world, possibly because:

1. I actually miss my parents.
2. I spent the week with not only my parents, but with the other guests at the B&B we stayed at, so I've gotten used to never being alone.
3. I can't use my cell phone because my parents somehow ended up packing my phone charger in their suitcase. The battery is not dead yet, but I'm down to one bar, and so I want to use my phone as little as possible since I can't charge it until they mail the charger back to me.

I so don't want to go back to work on Monday...

My LJ got a makeover last night! In addition to my reorganizing frenzy, mitashade, who is awesome and talented, made me a shiny new layout. Isn't it lovely? :) Thank you muchly, my dear!

Also, thank you to the anonymous person who gave me virtual balloons!

Saw this linked on my flist today: 42 Essential 3rd Act Twists, all in a nice handy-dandy chart. By my estimation, BtVS used at least 13 of them. :)

I'm plotting my next story right now.... lol.

But this one sounds really awesome. Fortunately, I don't have a single fic idea that I think has enough traction for a 30,000 word fic, so I won't be tempted to sign up, but it'd be cool to have someone illustrate a fic.

Okay, guys. You can stop all that speculation about the identity of the new Big Bad in the season 8 comics.

It's me.


I don't think that's actually descriptive of me, but hey, it could've been worse. I could've been Dawn.
