memento11. I made an icon! For the new ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sg1podfic community.
I've been experimenting a lot recently and this was a pleasant surprise. I've been so glad to make art again. The muse is finally back and I have so many things I want to try out and explore. It's such a thrill when an icon starts to come together the way you want it!
2. While looking for iPod stock photos for the above icon, I found this:
GOLD-PLATED iPODS! $600-$800 depending on storage capactity. For the hyper-rich people on your christmas list ;)
3. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Color me happy. Oh, that scene made my little shipper heart sing. I was really wary of such a giant step in relationship resolution, but I'm actually quite happy with it. I want to see more, or read more (although I have yet to find any good CSI fic), even though I expected the ship to lose its pizazz and pull once there was effectively no more unresolved tension. But I quite like this relaxed, easy affection. I loved their identical looks of...joy and contentment. If I could just bottle up that feeling and carry it around with me, I would. So, in summary, Mem = happy shipper.
4. I finally finished Harry Potter!! And I loved it. It's been a b*tch trying to avoid spoilers (which didn't work out entirely), but I'm so glad I re-read the whole series first. It got me back into that world and that storyline and I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm really sad it's done! Anyways, just one big complaint - I really didn't need that epilogue. It was like a badfic chapter stuck onto the end. But other than that, very happy. And I was really emotionally invested this time! I cried at Sirius' death, and Dumbledore's, and almost every single major character death in book 7 (which was depressing as H*LL at times, but always managed to brighten up eventually). Surprisingly, I think Dobby's death hit me hardest this book. I really grew fond of the little guy! Oh, and while Harry/Ginny still does nothing for me, Ron/Hermione was SO adorable. I was so dorky happy when they finally kissed. And Snape! *sniff* I always knew he couldn't be pure evil, so I was really sad we didn't get to see that side of him before his death. I wanted more Snape! And more Neville and Luna and D.A. and Draco and especially more Dumbledore, but overall, I'm happy. I just want more!

Date: 2007-10-21 08:55 pm (UTC)1) Thank you! It really does look like a watercolor. I wish I could remember how I did it. *L* And that is the highest compliment one can get on a manip - that you can't tell it wasn't like that originally ;)
2) I know! Some people are just too rich for their own good.
3) Yay yay yay yay! I've replayed this scene about 20 times since then and I still grin like an idiot every time. Although the almost-kiss was rather silly for me. *L* But it was so totally Grissom - "and these are my insects and aren't they cool and oh, we should totally get married." *LOL*
4)(Yay!) Really?!? It took me months to read through the whole thing, I don't think I could start all over again. Although I am finding it oddly hard to get into any other book. Tell me if you find any hints or clues in previous books!
Good, we're agreed on the epilogue then. I was seriously dumb-founded when I read it. Like, did JKR get hit over the head and a 12-year-old fic writer attached her badfic to the end? *L* Unfortunately now I don't want to hear any more of JKR's elaborations. The books were good, let's just leave it at that and not mess with a good thing, eh?
*quick switch of mood* Dude, this book was depressing! I was crying every few chapters and near the end it seemed like I was a non-stop sprinkler! Like when Harry discovers he's a horcrux, even though I'd been spoiled for that ages ago, and that whole long chapter while he's walking towards his death, or any time I thought of Lupin or Tonks or Fred or Ted or Dobby. It was hard, dude. *L*
You know, I could see where Harry/Ginny was coming from this read-through (unlike before where it just seemed to come out of nowhere), but it still didn't grab me. My poor shippy brain can't think of a single good pairing for Harry. *L* Oh well.
There needs to be a whole other book about the exploits of the D.A at Hogwarts for the whole school year while Harry was away.
Yes! I would totally read that. Neville was so totally awesome cutting off Nagini's head, and my heart just ached when Harry went up to Luna's room and she had that big montage that she'd made of her dear friends. So sweet!
