| HP Art Meme |
[Feb. 5th, 2008|12:58 pm] |
I've had a lingering cold (or possibly a sinus infection... it's hard to tell sometimes) this past week or so, and have been feeling gross and headachey and blah, so I've been laying low. There were a lot of things I wanted to talk about, too, but I just didn't feel like sitting at the computer much. I'm better now, though, so hopefully I'll be around more. I have some pics and things I want to share.
Speaking of which, I know I'm reeeally late to this party now, but I finally did that HP art meme that was floating around! I started it a while back, but just now got around to finishing and coloring it:
Dont worry, kids -- it's rated G! Though I do make fun of a few characters. ;)
( My HP doodle opinions, let me show you them.... )
To be completely honest, the Sorting Hat would probably try to put me in Hufflepuff (or Ravenclaw, which I'd prefer if I couldn't get into Slytherin, but I know I'm seekritly kind of Hufflepuff-y, so... heh). But I'd just do what J.K. Rowling teaches us to do in those situations, and choose whatever bloody House I want. :P |

Poor Heath Ledger. :(
( I'll cut this to spare my flist since most of you are probably tired of hearing about it by now, but I wanted to say a little something about him.... )
*************************************************
You know, yesterday had started out good. Jenn (![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gooniegal) and I went to the mall and were having a nice day out. Then it started pouring rain and we got all wet. Then her friend from work called and told us Heath had died. Then when we went out to eat, I ordered a meal to take home for my husband but he called to tell me to cancel it... and I forgot, so I had to buy an extra meal (but it's Olive Garden, so mmm, I'll eat it tonght). And then, when I came home late that night after dropping Jenn off....
( .... I totally scratched up my car, wah! Two pics under here.... )
Last night I also started feeling like I was getting the flu or something. Luckily today I'm feeling better, though I think I'm a bit feverish. I had to get up early (only to wait FOUR HOURS) for the AC guys to come change our filters, which are big and need to be ordered. So I feel really groggy and gross now.
Oh, and I just had to fish a dead frog out of the pool. Dead animals always make me sad. I've been so upset this past week over that Tyson chicken thing (OMG, the way they abuse those poor birds!). And then I watched PETA's "Meet Your Meat" video... *sobs* I can't say I'm sorry I watched it, though, because I always believe in knowing the truth, and if you're going to eat animals, you should know exactly where they came from and what they went through. I wish I could be a vegetarian, but I don't think I could. I am going to look for alternative food sources, though. I absolutely loathe how they treat those poor animals in those factories. There are such disgusting, vile, ignorant assholes who work in those horrible places... I know it's probably bad karma for myself to wish them ill, but I do. I hope they all die slow, agonizing deaths, just like they inflict on the animals in their "care."
It's been kind of a sad, crappy time overall lately, it seems. |

| Christmas Pics |
[Jan. 11th, 2008|07:30 pm] |
Okay, here are those pics, finally. There's just a few, but I mostly wanted to show you what my husband got me. I'm still totally stunned that he did! I had put it on my Amazon wishlist more as a joke than anything -- I did really, really want it, of course, it's just that I didn't actually want (or expect) him to spend that much on me. O__O
( so, without further ado.... )
*************************************************
This is another topic altogether, but I felt I must squee about it: I have now seen Sweeney Todd twice! Once with LJ user= gooniegal and once with LJ user=galvyn. I love that movie. I mean, Alan Rickman, Johnny Depp, AND Helena Bonham-Carter all together? And singing (fairly well, too, I might add)?? SO MUCH LOVE! :D |

| Snupin Santa reveals, & a very special birthday |
[Jan. 9th, 2008|06:01 pm] |
First things first:
Happy Birthday, Severus Snape!
Your creator may have written you off, but you'll always live on in your fans' hearts and imaginations. ♥♥♥
*****************************************************
I'm a bit late about this: the Snupin Santa reveals were posted, so now I can tell you that it was chazpure who wrote my gift fic, whee! (I'm quite amused and very happy to have had her write for me this year, since she also wrote for me last year in ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) merry_smutmas!) I enjoyed her story so much; it's an absolutely delicious blend of humor, angst and sweetness. And HOT SEX, of course! There's an utterly adorable amnesiac!Lupin, and a Snape who... well, is a perfect Snape. *g* If you like Snupin, please go check it out -- the link will bring you to an age consent page first, as it's on the Snupin Santa site, but you don't have to sign up or anything to read or leave comments:
Title: All Lies and Jests
Author: chazpure
Rating: NC-17
Summary: When Severus came to in the Great Hall, surrounded by corpses, he hardly expected one of them to wake up. And he certainly didn't expect it to be Remus Lupin.
I can now also reveal that I drew gift art for innerslytherin, an illustration from her wonderfully yummy SS/RL/SB fic, Delineation of a Duelist:
Title: Willing to Share
Artist: ebonyserpent
Rating: NC-17
( Severus and Sirius decide they're willing to cooperate with each other and share Remus if he'll have them both.... )
*****************************************************
I'm organizing all my Christmas pics today, so hopefully I'll be able to post some of those soon. I know I said that, like, a week ago, but this time I'm being for real! :) |

and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SCRIBBULUS_INK!!!
Hope it's been a good one, hon! :D
I can't believe how fast this year went by! Time always seems to pass quickly, but this year did so at Ludicrous Speed, IMO. Maybe tomorrow I'll finally post about Christmas day and show off the shiny, new "toy" my husband got me (YAY!), but I'm feeling kind of crappy right now. Stomach issues, bleargh. My poor husband is sick, too, with a cold. He had a bad flu last year for both Christmas and New Years, too, but otherwise it's very rare for him to ever get sick.
So, we'll be staying in for the ball-dropping, heh. If any of you guys are going out and about, stay safe and warm, okay? :)
I hope everyone's having a wonderful holiday season! Happy 2008! |

| HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! |
[Dec. 24th, 2007|07:55 pm] |
I'll probably be super busy tomorrow, so I wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a happy Kwanzaa, a merry Yule, a blessed Solstice... and in case I've forgotten anything, just a beautiful, peaceful, happy holiday season all around!!! *hugs all*
glitter-graphics.com
I have a few things to share with you:
( This was my holiday card design this year... HOOT! )
( Pics of my two Christmas trees.... )
Lastly, I've uploaded some holiday music I thought some of you might enjoy. It's the first time I've ever uploaded anything, though, so if there's a mistake and it's not working, I may not know how to fix it. *g*
I'll start with something... fun. This is unfortunately one of my favorite Christmas songs. *snorts* It's hilarious and just... so appropriate sometimes. From the movie Scrooge with Albert Finney: I Hate People
( Now click the cut for some kinder stuff. *g* )
I'll see you all on the 26th! ♥ |

| Holiday Card Ideas? |
[Dec. 5th, 2007|06:30 pm] |
First:
glitter-graphics.com
To all who celebrate! :D
Second: I do want to do holiday cards this year and I do want to have them going out soon, but I still can't decide what these cards should be. I'm thinking I might draw a design and stick it in those pre-made photo cards instead of making my own cards this year, because I don't have much time. I've got one idea for a cute drawing (courtesy of LJ user thejunebug), which is a fairly general design that can be viewed as HP-related, but doesn't have to be for those who don't like HP or whatever. But I'd kind of like to try making just one more design, and I can't decide if it should be HP or not, or if so, whether it should general or slashy or whatnot. What do you guys think? Anyone have any ideas? If I go with "general," who or what would be a good subject for that? Should I do a canon scene? I'm tempted to do Snupin, but how many people on my flist would be interested in that?
Anyway, any thoughts would be most appreciated! I know I should do a poll, but I don't think I'm organized enough yet for even that. *g* Once I do decide, though, I'll post a poll and ask for everyone to leave their addresses and stuff.
Third: ( Should I go watch the shuttle take off? ) |

Also, I want to send belated (oops) but very happy birthday wishes to:

| My Last Year In My 20s |

I'm officially 29 today. And I'll be turning 29 again next year, and the year after that, and....
Hehehehe, no, it's not that bad. At first it was a little scary to think that next year I'll be 30, especially when people always make a big deal about it as if it's the end of the world. But pffft, 30's nothing -- just the end of another decade, not the world! I won't start worrying until I turn, like, 60 or so. ;)
I'll be going out soon with gooniegel and galvyn for some frappucinos at the new Starbucks nearby, and then I think my husband's taking me out to dinner, so I may not get around to replying to everyone's comments today, but I wanted to say thank you all so much for the sweet birthday wishes and gifties!! *hugs flist* You guys always make me feel so special, and I love you all! ♥ ♥ ♥
I was going through the old family photos with my uncle and my grandma a few weeks ago, and I found a few of my baby/little kid pictures. I know I also have one of me as an infant (that standard pic they take in the hospital right after you're born), but I couldn't find it. Anyway, here's a few pics if anyone's interested:
( Whaddaya know, I actually used to be kinda cute.... )
I'll see everyone later! XOXOXOXO
Hmmm, my husband left a gift for me on my desk... should I open it now, or be patient and wait until he gets home? *is tempted*
ETA: The image in my icon is the constellation Scorpius in the Milky Way, taken by the Hubble Telescope. And speaking of space, has anyone been viewing the comet Holmes? You can see it with the naked eye right now, as it's exploding. It's visible in the northern sky (I see it best here at around 9pm) as a faint, blurry, blue spot bigger than the planet Venus, right beside the constellation Perseus, which is to the right of Cassiopeia and Draco if you're looking north. I love the stars -- I can stare up at them all night. *happy sighs* |

Oh maaaan, I'm so tired of cleaning and fixing up the house! *whines* We're having a birthday party here tomorrow because it's my husband's and his twin brother's birthdays, and to also celebrate mine, since it's coming up on the 7th, and my cousin Matt's, since his is today. Between our two families and friends, there's going to be about 60 or so people coming over. OMG!!! I am so not a party-person, either. I have a feeling I'm going to spend most of the day tomorrow tying to hide from the crowds. Yes, even from my own family. But not from my friends, because my friends are cool like that. ;)
Mmmm, but we're ordering some yummy Philippino food for tomorrow (as well as some "normal" stuff for those who might be scared of the Phil food, hehe), including a whole roasted pig (lechon), and my mouth is watering already. Sometimes I feel really bad for eating animals, but I know I couldn't live without meat. *sighs*
( just some blathering about Halloween )
( pics of my mad punkin crving skillz )
I have tons more pics I'd like to share here eventually, if anyone's interested in seeing them. We've got so many lovely wildflowers and cool critters roaming our property at this time of year, and I've taken a crapload of nature photos. Snakes, bugs, spiders... all the good stuff! Unfortunately, one of the snakes I took a pic of was dead (but he doesn't look it in the pic -- I'll warn for it if I post it, though), which made me sad. I also saw a beautiful, little dead bird yesterday outside a Linens-n-Things. It had apparently hit the store's windows. I wish all storefronts would use dark, tinted glass. Poor birds. :(
Anyway, best get back to the cleaning. Uggggh. *slouches off* |

Hello all! Wow, I didn't realize it's been over a month since I last posted. I haven't lost interest in journaling or anything, I guess I was just taking a bit of a break, and I didn't feel like I had much to say. I've been trying to keep up with the flist, but I'm behind as usual and haven't been commenting much -- I hope to improve on that! I've been pretty busy lately, too. September through the end of the year is always a crazy, action-packed time for me. Lots of birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other sorts of celebrations. We've had my uncle's, stepdad's, sister-in-law's, a few friends' and my Grandma's 80th birthdays, as well as my aunt and uncle's 16th, my grandparents' 51st and my and my husband's 7th wedding anniversaries. So yeah, there's been much gathering together and going out to eat lately. It's bad how so many things are centered around food. I need to join a gym! :P
( So, what's new with me? Not a whole lot.... )
Ooh, and I actually watch a TV show now (besides Meerkat Manor and Criss Angel, hehe). Heroes! I'm hooked. Sometimes it can be pretty cheesy, but it's a fun show and it does keep you guessing, which I enjoy. I find most of the main characters fairly likable, too. Except Claire -- I'm sorry, but she's stupid and she annoys me so bad, especially this season so far.
And one more thing:
I'm making Halloween cards, if anyone wants one! I know it's a bit late, but I figure if I get them sent out this week they should get to everyone in the states on time... hopefully. I've already sent some that have to go overseas, though they still might be late, heh. But yeah, if you want one just drop me a comment here! If you got a Valentine card from me, then I still have your address. If not, or if you want to send it again just in case, or if you've moved or something, you can email me your address at ebonyssserpent@yahoo.com.
Time to go watch Heroes! Take care, everyone! :) |

I am going to start posting here regularly soon, I swear!
For now, I have a poll up at my LJ if anyone wouldn't mind taking it. It's just basically asking where and how everyone posts now -- like, who only posts at IJ now or who is going to stay on LJ only, and whether you ever crosspost or whatever. Just so I can get an idea about how to read my flists. I didn't know if an LJ poll would work here, so I hope you don't mind me linking to it:
this way to the poll.
If you don't feel like following the link, you can just tell me about your posting habits here. Thanks! :) |

| First Post |
[Aug. 15th, 2007|08:32 pm] |
I'm finally getting around to making my first post here. Hi everyone! :)
I've been really busy and kind of out of it lately. I haven't even begun reading my flist here, and it may take me a while still to get into the swing of things. It seems most of you crosspost to LJ, too, huh? It's weird now, having several flists to look at. Damn LJ for screwing us all up like this! *shakes fist*
All I did today was work on my big post about Prophecy in Toronto here, in my LJ. Now I've got to figure something out for dinner. I feel like such a slug.
I'll be catching up with everyone soon! Take care.
P.S. Crap, I don't even have any icons here yet. *looks into that* |
