On Returning

Have just caught up with my F-list. o_O Two days away and this happens! (Well, all except [personal profile] anax's new ficlets. Want to give them full attention and my eyes are going again.)

So, where have I been?

First of all, on Saturday my parents installed a new printer on my machine since the other one broke. All good except that it slowed the computer down a LOT. GRRRR. So Sunday I took the time to remove a bunch of stuff I didn't need anymore. After that, I did a bunch of mindless memes while waiting for my cousins to arrive. Then they came, and I shut down the comp.

My cousins (Ami and Keli, to go by one of their net aliases) have been some of my best friends sense I moved to the northeast from Texas. We played a lot as kids and still get along great even now. I dragged then into Anime via Ebonhawk's Duck Tape tales. We go to Otakon every year together and have also gone to Disney world.

What we did. )
After Ami and Keli left I was REALLY REALLY TIRED, so I curled up on a chair and watched Master's of the Universe. I love that film. Old fashioned, not a lot of computer stuff, but still love it. All of these 80 films and cartoons are totally fueling REALLY strange FMA bunnies. Like the FMA Pony one. I know [profile] alchephiliac challenged it to [personal profile] dragontrap and [profile] potato_thief though. Wonder if I could get permission? Because I would so do it in classic pony style, consistency errors and cheesy music included. And I love [profile] alchephiliac's pony designs soooooo much. (WANT. MOVING. ICON. SO. BADLY.) Would like to use those. Must try to contact.

In general news, my mom starts her second course today. On the other hand, I really have to start getting ready for bible school. I have so little time and energy for fics…

On Layouts...

I am currently staring at [profile] kaitou_marina's layout, made by [personal profile] chiba_yuriko. Is so glorious. And the icon that goes with it even more so. Why?

1) It's Ed. Got to love Ed.
2) It has symbolism. The whole Greek legend Icarus tie in. Including the title. <3
3) The FONTS. I usually don't obsess over fonts but some of those I don't think I've ever seen before. Especially the one on the icon.
4)Feathers. Apparently I have a weakness for feathers. I didn't even know it. *goggles*

*sigh* Still haven't heard back from the person with the B5 mood theme. And I would love to make a Technomage layout with Galen, Elric and Alwan. But alas, PS less am I and I'm not too great at coding anyway.

*stares at layout some more*
