Did you know that this is the best Star Wars message board in the world ever…?

…well, you know now.

At school they have invented a game where you take a 2p piece and flick it across a table into someone else’s knuckles as hard as you can. Then they flick it back at you, into your own knuckles. Unless they miss, which usually happens. I’m writing this only because when I started thinking about it my knuckles started hurting.

What really amuses me is that it’s strictly forbidden to play cards, but this is either allowed or not really noticed. Meh.

*rubs knuckles*

Come to think of it, we’re allowed to play on our mobile phones or eat cookies instead of doing work, too. Why no cards? *pout*

Yes, I am enjoying sixth form. :)

Only seven comments for my last icon post? Darn. I really liked those ones. Maybe no-one else did…

Anyway!

Okay…comment and credit and don’t hotlink, please. :D Brushes by calixa and quebelly, and the pictures from gettyimages.

Something that occured to me this afternoon

You know what we could really use? A website similar to fanfiction.net, but actually designed for writers just starting out. It could be called beginnersfanfic.net or whatever sounds good. There, people would be able to write Mary-Sue fic or OOC fic as much as they wanted (flames would be discouraged) and then, when they’d matured as writers, they could just move on fanfiction.net.

Maybe beginnersfanfic.net could sort of encourage Mary-Sue fics and the like, and have it arranged, somehow, that you couldn’t have a bf.net account and a ff.net account at the same time. So when you wanted to move on to ff.net, you could just delete the old stuff…

Eh. It probably wouldn’t work. But never mind.

I’m quite proud of this batch

Hehe.

The Good

-I have finally finally started working on chapter 61 (dear…god…) of Making.

The Bad

-Next up is a big dramatic vaguely plot-twisty action scene, and I’m rather dreading it.

The Good

-Plan to make more icons

The Bad

-Who would’ve thought fifteen icon spaces wasn’t enough?

The Good

I’m writing in my journal instead of being bored.

The Bad

You’re reading it, so now *you’re* bored. :p

I felt like doing that icon meme

All made by me, BTW. :D

1)
Keywords: spiderman2 chocolate cake girl -yes, even though I know what her name is now. :) My current default because hey, she’s very cool and I’ll cry if she’s not in the next sequel. Even though she probably won’t be.

2)
Keywords: but you, my daughter…-I loved the scene in the movie and wound up making this. It’s probably the first icon I made that I really liked. :)

3)
Keywords: holes rocks my world -well, it does. And it’s not a bad icon.

4)
Keywords: last (and second-last) words -I remember someone mentioning once, on SQ I think, the similarities to James’s last words to Lily and Sirius’s last words to Harry. I decided that had to be an icon…so it is. :)

5)
Keywords: pokemon ownz your soul -Made after the last time I watched Mewtwo Strikes Back. Because I needed at least one Pokemon icon.

6)
Keywords: :'( -because it makes me cry.

7)
Keywords: because it isn’t -I’ve always liked the look of this one.

8)
Keywords: & this is the way the world ends -my one textless icon. I think.

9)
Keywords: rip-padfoot -my previous default. A lot of people commented on this one…it’s probably my favourite, when all’s said and done. :D

10)
Keywords: because evil can’t be good unless it tries (at least that’s what it’s supposed to say, but it got cut off) -made from the base of one of the Marauders icons. I’m quite proud of this one.

11)
Keywords: if only (number two) -because the Holes icon uses that song as well. Heh. Oh well.

12)
Keywords: omgtheirloveisso…tentacled? -actually, omgtheirloveissodead would be better now, but…well, I always liked this icon. It came out well.

13)
Keywords: can *you* read the small writing? (boromir) -because I decided I needed more LOTR icons. And no-one can read the small writing. Or indeed notice it’s there.

14)
Keywords: *sniffle* -because hey, it is snifflesome.

15)
Keywords: multi-tenacled angst -I needed at least one Ockon. This one’s part of a songset I made…

A bunch of movies, and abuse of the Georgia font-

-comment please. :)
