I am not really looking to add new people, unless I know you - at least to some degree - from FanForum or a community on LJ or in real, everyday life. It is nothing personal. I am just growing more reserved with age.

3 weeks.
No rings, no missed calls. A text from Coley on NYE, and a heartbreaking round of coffee with Mel.
That's all my life amounts too.
I haven't felt this alone since my Mimma passed away. Back then, I was so indignant. So angry. Everyone was leaving me but I could not understand why. I felt like I deserved more from everyone. More than abandonment, more than pain. I may not have gotten more but I held onto the notion that it was mine to have.
Now, my tune is different.
I use to think the fault lay at the feet of others. Yet, in the wake of being tossed aside by the person I trusted most, I realize it was me all along. I was never enough. Good enough, strong enough, enough of whatever anyone needed. So they all left, marching off to a brighter horizon.
I think of my favorite short story. I am the child left behind. Only the moral is different. It wasn't because someone had to be left, but because no one should have to shoulder the weight of the worthless.

When did you first start iconing, and what was the first icontest you entered?
Before the time of the dinosaurs....
Seriously, though, I started around 4 years ago, I think. (shrugs) I could not tell you the first icontest I entered, quite honestly.
Post one of your first or worst icons:
Poor Prue. What have I done to you??
Post one of your favorite icons that you've made:
The effect works, the coloring is pretty, a decent crop. Not going to pat myself on the back or anything but I seem to have a special affinity for this icon.
What computer & graphics program do you use?
Mostly PS 7.
Iconmakers whose work you love?

glance18 (I can't remember the name of her new graphics comm), ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
damageisdone100, giratiempo, charmingdesigns, tigre86, faded_icons
It's not just that I like their stuff but they all inspire me to want to improve.
A trick or technique you use a lot?
Uhm...layers set to Soft Light on top of layers set to Screen, I suppose.
A trend you hate?
I hate when many trends are piled onto one icon so it looks like a cluttered mess.
One of your favorite set of textures?
Pretty much anything byerniemay.
An icontest you recommend:
(shrugs) I don't really participate in them much anymore.
Pimp your icon journal:
madeby_bethy even though it hasn't been updated in awhile.

In a plight to ease my mind about a real life love, I figured I use my favorite onscreen couple as a means of creative catharsis. Hence, a picspam of my favorite LP moments tied in with some quotes and comments.

If I had 30$, I would by Swagger, Drunken Lullabyes, and Within a Mile of Home (those are all Flogging Molly albums for the musically impaired out there) on green vinyl.
That is all.
That is all.

 Dear Santa...Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In November I turned gwacamolly in for farting in church (3 points). Last week I ruled Iran as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Sunday I helped xxsweet_jen24xx see the light (8 points). In January on a flight to LA, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). In February I farted in an elevator (-6 points). Overall, I've been nice (665 points). For Christmas I deserve a wedgie! Sincerely, |

You paid attention during 97% of high school!
85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!
Do you deserve your high school diploma?
Make a Quiz
See what reading a book, or two, can do for a person. The amazing ability to guess correctly never hurt either.
