1. Reply to this post with "UNICORNS", and I will pick five of your icons.

2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.

3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

A HA!

I think I've figured out my iconing issue...

I never have any preconceived idea of what I want an icon to look like when I start making it. Therefore, I have no ideas of what I need to do to get it to look a certain way. Which is why I end up doing the same thing all the time. Cos it looked good once, I can get it look good again. :-)

Not sure what to do about that....

So, I made this icon a couple months ago for the [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_icontest



I am now seeing icons like this EVERYWHERE. Where it's the two people with the & in the middle. Did I start a trend or was this happening before?

Since I've become obsessed with the [livejournal.com profile] 10chevrons icon community, I thought I would see if anybody had any requests. Basically, you take one picture and make 10 icons out of it. So, if you have a screencap, promo shot, or whatever and you'd like me to give it a shot, let me know. :-)

As you may remember, I was in a car accident a little over a month ago. My car was supposed to be ready yesterday. We get there to pick it up and they find out when they finally start it up to move it out, the Check Engine light comes on and it has something to do with the transmission. So, we leave it there for another day so they can check into it. Turns out it was just a little broken wire that they were able to replace just fine. Cool. So, today we wouldn't be able to get there until after they closed so he was going to leave the key locked in the car (I have the little remote) out in their little lot. We get there -- NO CAR. WTF? Luckily, the little body shop next door is open and they have the guys home number. Turns out the detail guy that was the last to leave, pulled the car back into the garage. Ugh, but at least there's not still something wrong with the car. BUT, the owner lives an hour away. So, we go to dinner come back and he's just pulled the car out. But it's not my car. It's another Saturn. I start freaking out slightly. I saw my car yesterday so I know they have it. A few minutes later, the guy pulls it out from the other garage. So, YAY! It was there, just not where the initially thought! (And now the owner has to explain to these other people why he locked their keys in their car!). So I have my car back. And it's kinda weird cos it's a lot smaller than my husband's car that I was driving. But everything is good. It's nice to have my car back (I so missed it's lovely, tight turning radius). Now I just have to hope the other guy does not show up in court next week and my ticket gets thrown out.

Oh, and this is why I haven't been able to finish all those quote icons you lovely folks requested. I am working on them, I promise. We're going out to the lake house this weekend so I should be able to work on them then and have them posted by Sunday night. :-)

And now, bedtime.

I updated and organized the icon area of my LJ Gallery. You can find it HERE. It contains Stargate (Sg-1 and Atlantis), Queer as Folk and a few Matrix. Feel free to peruse and take whatever you would like. Comments and credit would be good. Hotlink and I will send a rabid pitbull in the mail to you. :-D Hehe.

Anywho, I think I'm going to be going to bed shortly, so enjoy!!

<-- So I entered that icon in my first ever icon challenge 2 weeks ago. I did not win, but I'm still kinda proud of how it turned it, so I thought I would share since I can now. :-)

Oh! We're a Nielsen family now. :-D For those of you overseas, the Nielsen ratings is how they determine the most watched programs and demographics for TV programs. And of course, I'm hardly gonna be home this week to watch anything! But they did send $15 cash! Woo-hoo!!

What else?? My wedding shower is tomorrow afternoon. I also have my hair and make-up trial in the morning. So, we'll see how that turns out. Should go fine. It's not like I'm planning some big elaborate updo as my hair is just barely past my ears. I can post some pics if anyone wants to see later.

I am now obsessed with Imogen Heap's song "Hide and Seek." It's so haunting and beautiful. I think I wanna vid QAF to it. Like, a Babylon bombing/Season 5 kinda vid. We'll see. :-D

I think that's all. Back to Dr. Who!!

Lata!

New Icons

So I just made three versions of a new icon and I'm not sure which one I like better. I didn't have any sort of "I'm Pissed" icons, so this is my attempt at that. Lemme know which one you like:

1)

2)
~Not sure how well this turned out, but there's like a cracked glass effect over the top
2a)
~Touched up a bit...

3)

Thanks!!

OK. Not completely pointless. But I made myself a new icon last night and I wanted to share. I think it's pretty good. I wish it had a border around it, I think. But I don't think I have any that work. Granted, I did this at 10:30 last night and maybe I could have tried to work on it a bit more. But I think it's pretty good. Maybe one of my best so far. Layers are your friend! :-D Hehe. If anyone really wants it, you can have it. Just credit please. 'K Thanks!

On another note, I'm going to visit my grandma after work today. I saw her on Sunday. She knew I was her granddaughter, so that's good. She kept trying to find her way out to go home, though. That was a little hard. We're also gonna go over after dinner tomorrow. And it's her birthday Friday. Ugh. Not too sure what's gonna happen with that. We'll probably also have to start packing her house this weekend. She probably won't be going back. It kinda sucks that this is happening now with the holidays. Plus with the Nutcracker stuff I have going on, dress rehearsals start Sunday and I just don't have the free time I wish I had to be able to help my mom. *sigh* I dunno.

So, Hide and Seek is on in syndication right now. I love that opening scene so much I just had to icon it!
<-- See? :-D You can save it if you want. Just credit please. ;-)

And, OK, can someone explain this to me? Here's how the syndication thing works where I am. I'll start pre-Atlantis so you get the idea of how it works: SG-1 airs at 3:00 and then there's a repeat at 10:00 of the same ep. Which is good cos if you miss it, you have a chance to catch it again. Since Atlantis started, basically the same thing is going on: SG-1 at 3:00, Atlantis at 4:00, repeats at 9:00 10:00. EXCEPT, for some bizarro reason, the Atlantis ep at 10:00 is not a repeat of the one from 4:00, but the next episode in the series. Today at 4:00 was Rising Pt. 2. Right now, is Hide and Seek. But next week at 4:00, they will show Hide and Seek. I just don't get it. I'm totally confused.....
