MASSIVE POSTING AHEAD! BE WARNED!

[snapdragon76]

Well, I have a bunch of stuff I wanna post, so hopefully it won't be too long. For starters, I wanna mention that I changed some icons around (again). My new default icon is one I made from the little "doll" I made of me. I wanted to try and put a border around it, but I totally suck at that. I was able to put a wee effect layer on it. You'd have to look really closely to see, though. The full length picture is right here:

It's the closest representation of me I could get. My hair is slightly shorter and I have green eyes and I couldn't find my style of glasses, so there you have it. I'll probably put it on my userinfo sometime.

I also added a 'Death Note' icon to my collection. It's from flamika of course. I have a bunch of hers. She's so talented though. And I'm an icon whore as it is...

*squeals* My artbook is coming!! I hope I get it today so I can swoon over the purty pics! *giggles*

Well, the votes were tallied and we're going to be getting the guy that came down for a full time position. Maybe his brother will come and visit more often... ~_^ But there was a lot of controversy in regards to the decision. Some people were complaining that "he's not mature enough and he doesn't have enough experience" and all that crap! We're his first real full time ministry job for crying out loud! Everyone's gotta start somewhere! Others were saying that he only "won" by a 70% margin and that he shouldn't have been hired since quite a few people voted no. Well, sorry to say, but the majority of the members voted yes and, like any democracy, majority rules. I swear, I hate politics in church! People said they were gonna leave because of it! I say, if something like this causes you to leave, so be it. You're not here for the right purposes as it is! /rant

I read the summary and saw the scans for ch. 107 of Furuba, but I think I'll wait until tomorow to post my synopsis and opinion.

I do have a meme that I found pretty interesting that I got from rosehiptea. Here it goes, I hope people participate:

I know I have seen many usericons that have caught my interest. Who knows, maybe some of you felt the same from some of my icons, so here's what I'll do. I'll link to my userpics and if you see one that you want to know more about and why I have it, just leave a comment and I'll tell you.

Well, I'm gonna read through my FL and then go and get my oil changed and buy some groceries before I hunker down with more of 'Death Note.' Luckily it'll have a seven week hiatus so I can have plenty of time to catch up!

OK... Who are Kureno and Arisa? *is quite ignorant*

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

They are two characters from a wonderful manga series called 'Fruits Basket.' It was kind of a love at first sight kinda thing, but of course complications ensued. I am rooting for them to prevail in the end however!

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK! I've heard of Fruits Basket of course, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. (And now there's a ton of it). I keep meaning to look into it.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Oh you must! It's such a wonderful, funny, heartfelt, angsty series. It has everything, plus a chock-full of delisious bishies!!

oooo!! Let me know what in the world was going on between shigure and rin like right after the little cute moment between her and haru. The scans make me thinnk one thing and then I got lost with the translation. Grrrr, I feel so ignorant. meh.

Tune in tomorrow to find out!!

Very pretty picture!

Do you want some icon work done? I can do it for you.

Any word on the camera?

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I didn't think it turned out too bad. But, it's an easy thing to do actually...

I appreciate the offer, but I have more than enough icons to last me for a while.

Nope. Still no word. *is annoyed*

Your doll kinda looks like mine :3 Very cute!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Oh? Where's yours?

[lizardali.livejournal.com]

That dollmaker is just too much fun! I wasted hours friday making a doll for my ATACT character, present day and college version. Maybe I'll make one for RL me too...

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I tried making one for my ATACT character, but it doesn't have long white hair! White hair, yes. Long hair, yes. Long white hair, no! *argh*
And yes, I agree it can be addictive. I have the boy one I made on my userinfo.
