Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

Or, I changed my layout for the first time in like six months (or changed it so that it isn't a variation on the same theme) and I wanted to post something, and there are memes around so why the heck not.

Icon meme! From crickets and a couple others.

❝MY FAVOURITE ICONS MEME!❞
BUMPER EDITION!

Default Icon	Oldest Icon	Newest Icon	Happiest Icon	Saddest Icon
Angriest Icon	Cutest Icon	Sexiest Icon	Funniest Icon	Cleverest Icon
Prettiest Icon	Silliest Icon	Flashiest Icon	Flailiest Icon	Best WTF Icon
Best LOL Icon	Best Text Icon	Best Art Icon	Best Stock Icon	Best Cropped Icon
Best Animated Icon	Best B/W Icon	Best Coloured Icon	Favourite Shippy Icon	Favourite Single Character Icon
			and
Favourite Celeb Icon	Favourite Fandom Icon	Favourite Non- Fandom Icon	Most used Icon (Not your default)	Favourite Icon Overall

* I'd just like to state that the favorite shippy icon is both Dean/Cas and Roland/Eddie, so it's worth for two ships. ;)

How many icons do you have total? 155

How many can you have? 165

If you could buy space for more, would you? ... I already have enough, don't tempt me. XD

Do your icons make a statement about you? ... yes. Especially that I like pink and Springsteen and Boone and Misha and Dean/Castiel.

What fandom do you have the most icons out of? either Lost or SPN, I didn't stop to count.

The second most? Whichever wasn't the one I have the most icons of. If you want a third, probably the vampire porn, but in comparison to the other two it's tiny.

What ship do you have the most icons out of? hahaha Dean/Castiel. Jack/Boone follows closely.

Break down your icons for us. mostly fandom, some movies, enough text, a lot of pink, too many Springsteen quotes.

How do you categorize your icons? fandom --> character/ship, when I have more than one icon for said fandom. If not I'll just put a name. Same for people, even though the Springsteen lyrics are under bruce springsteen.

Are your icons mostly made by other users? half by me and half by other people I think.

Animated icons are... I like them but I don't use many.

I tag: whoever wants to!

Aaaand then, book meme from pnr: In this blog post, Ebert links to a cloud of book titles first assembled in an article in The Guardian that shows the most-mentioned titles culled from a variety of book polls and reading lists. A sort of "consensus" reading list, if you will.

Bolding the ones I've read
Italicizing the ones I've started but not finished.

( list! )

Also uhm maybe last day's entry ended up half-lost also because it was like Sunday, but just in case: whoever was that had volunteered to beta that Jimmy Novak apocalyptic fic like ages ago and whose name I forgot (sorry! I can't remember half of what happened just before I graduated) would be up for doing it now? Or anyone else really? Because I still haven't sent it over as my artist and I agreed on having it betaed before but I'm getting dangerously close to two weeks before the deadline. :( I can't even make you cookies because I suck, but if you need details check the post before this one. :) Thanks in advance?

Also next round I'll have the pictures from that meme as well. Now I'll see to accomplish something other than memes, hopefully.

1. First thing, happy birthday yellowhorde and ecstaticagony!! I hope you're both having amazing days and that the next year is especially awesome. (And ecstaticagony, see you again at the con if you're there? I'll give you a ride with pleasure ;) ), And if any of you wants to prompt me feel free to, it'll happen eventually. ;)

2. HI EVERYONE!

I realized I hadn't posted anything serious in like two weeks. Only reason: I clearly arrived at the last moment with the pedagogy presentation. Now it's sent and done and I'll go there to get my goddamn mark on the 16th and then I'm DONE. Forever, hopefully. But I practically spent all last week taking notes, trying to make a serious presentation, failing at it, re-formatting all of it and by the end I just wanted to die of boredom. But, I'm done now, so yay? Now the other problem is that I have another exam and there aren't the dates like ANYWHERE, but I'm not worrying about it until next week starts. ://

3. That out of the way, because I think about it too much already, there's nothing else exciting happening around these parts so I should probably just do a bunch of memes that I should have done like back in August, but, one thing first.

4. ( about the Dark Tower movies/tv series Ron Howard is apparently directing... )

5. So, memes which I should have done in August. And I actually had done them, but LJ ate my entry and I forgot to re-post them.

a) Top fives (yeah, I know, OLD):

( top five: albums, smells, five books I want to read and never probably will, Lost favorite moments, Lost least favorite moments and minor characters )

b) Icon meme!

Reply to this post with "burn the land and boil the sea" and I will pick six of your icons.
- Make a post and talk about the icons I chose.
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
- This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.

6. Pheeew. I feel good having those out of my way. Anyway, that's pretty much everything for now, but hey, a real entry! That isn't reposting fic or spamming! It feels nice. ;) (though wait for this weekend for me re-posting the five acts fic and a bunch of other stuff that I'll catch the occasion to re-post). Also, now I'm going to catch up on everything I put on hold until I finished worrying about pedagogy. I have a bunch of comments and one five acts to read at least, so I'll be off doing that? And writing post vporn premiere Damon/Alaric because it needs to be written. *waves*

7. PS: okay, everyone in my fl is probably bored to tears of me being like this once each month but... anyone who friended me in the last two weeks wants me to friend back? I swear, I don't bite. I just want to know if you want me to or not. ;)

1. Okay, so, from tomorrow to the day after I'm on a leave of absence because I'm taking a flash trip with _izu_ and marlonob to see Duff McKagan + Loaded in concert somewhere near Modena, and I just hope no one posts everything important I might miss. ;)

2. That said, I probably will have another ficlet for the darned alphabet meme later. I can finish that, can I?

3. Memes galore because today I'll need to take breaks from the awesomeness that it's computers in relation to philosophical texts. What joy.

3a. This from invisiblelove:

3b. This from... like, everyone.

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom. -> usually, my scoops imply that I like slash way more than any canon pairings, but still.

3c. This from elliotsmelliot:

Choose one of the TV shows, movies or books you know I’m familiar with, and I’ll tell you which character I’d pick for the following:

Best & Worst Roommate:
Best & Worst Neighbour:
Best & Worst Houseguest:
Who would I get to help me garden?
Who would I get to help me decorate?
Who would I get to help me with any repairs/renovations?
Who would I get to help me move?
Who would I trust to sell me the property?
Who would I invite over for my first dinner?

4. Okay, I'm off to buy groceries and then studying and then editing stuff. -nod-

1. Holycrap one hour ago there was another earthquake peripheral shake. Fuuuck. Over there it mustn't have been pretty. Not-at-all. *sigh*

2. Tomorrow evening I'm going to my dad's family for the Easter holidays. I'll be back on Monday but I'm bringing the laptop and there will be Internet there if things haven't changed since Christmas so no hiatus.

3. I think I might have fic later or tomorrow morning. Which is good because I really needed to finish some-fucking-thing.

4. Memes! First one, handwriting meme tagged by jate92:

( my handwriting, let me show you it )

7. I've finished watching S2 of Six Feet Under. And before I forget it: ARZT WAS IN THE FINALE. As a guy dealing with sex addiction. I think I wanted to die from cracking up.

( some talking about it, spoilers will happen, skip if you don't give a damn. ;) And also, where the hell was Michael C. Hall all my life? ) I need a SFU icon, in short.

8. All for now, also because this entry already is too long. *waves*

Because I should copy ficlets I write in pauses from lessons and of course I'm too lazy. So, three memes.

Tagged from alovelyfix.


1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people. whoever wants to.

Stolen by elliotsmelliot.

( last stuff I did )

Stolen by alliecat8 and isis2015.

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than twenty icons, post them all. If you have between twenty and fifty icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.

Turin was great. Oh, I love that city so damn much TT I won't go on opera-squeeing because I'd finish tomorrow but alas...

Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squee-fest of love and 100x100 square pixels.

So, tomorrow I have a wedding in Naples... it'd be the day after but I'm leaving a day before and returning on the 23rd, so I hope things go well for everyone while I'm away *hugs fl*[Poll #1058620]Just, sorry. Feel free to ignore those, but hell, I definitely felt like wasting a post.

Goodbye everyone and see you on the 23rd!
