and before you know it, you are walking on air

So... who has The Sounds's yet to be released album named "Crossing the Rubicon"?
I HAS IT!!! (because indie_exchange is awesome)

Save the Click on the cheerleader and change hxxp to http :)

So.... it's May the 6th.... AREN'T WE ALL EXCITED ABOUT BBB?!?!?!
I jotted down a couple of ideas for the art I'm going to do yesterday. I'm so hyped right now that I feel like I could finish it today and then go back and see if there's still a summary that intrigues me enough to claim it. Doing fanart is amazing!

Anyway... Yesterday my art juices were slow. Luckily, I stumbled over The Black Parade Mary-Sue Art Meme hosted by theopterix! It gave me the "starting kick" I needed :)
( Go Unicorns! )

When L saw that I was doodling around, she put on her best pouting face and said "Remeber that couple of HP strips you started THREE YEARS AGO AND NEVER FINISHED?!?!?" I did the first one back in 2006 and sketched he second but never finished it. Until yesterday.
( H/D strips: they make me miss that fandom )

Now, back to bandom. There's a perfectly nice and all around awesome BRAND NEW community on DW! It's patd_slash! Go there and join!

And, still on DW, if you are a fan of Merlin, there is a Merlin Comment Porn Party right here! Go prompt and wait for someone to answer with porn ;) My wish has already been fulfilled

And now I have to go because my sketchbook is giving e the eye :D

P.S. Nada Surf wins at life

Things that made me happy today:
- Morning shopping with my beffie! We chatted about everything and anything and I came home with two new lovely tees (even if what I really needed was a pair of jeans...). Pics maybe later.

- Cooking lunch singing at the top of my lungs "Mr. Blue Sky", complete with cookware drumming and hip-checking to close cabinets doors and drawers (I was in luck and didn't broke anything this time around).

- Jotting down some sketches for the prompts milenaa and saba_1789 gave me. I might have gone insane and tried to find a way to join the two prompts... My elementary teacher was right in calling me "Head of the Office for Complicating Easy Matters".

- failboatsinlove! I've waited so long for a community like this one... *flaps hands*

- I just realized I have to wait just five more days to see ( this )

- I'm almost finished with "Bitsi Tales Vol. 1" (I don't think I've ever talked about it here... It's a silly thing I'm writing for a friend of mine. Practically, I made up this 'verse set in a hive and the story revolves around Bitsi, a female ba-bee. It's very, very silly, but my friend liked the little bits I told her while I was making it up, so I'm going to put together a bounded copy for her as a gift.)

- I had the most stupid idea and convinced myself that a MakeMineMusic!AU Bandom fic would be the awesomest thing ever. Starting with "Jon Fedora and Ryan Bluebonnet". ( They live in the window of a headwear shop owned by Patrick. )

P.S. for Zelda: I've sent the dorky!Darwin thing to enaranie for a grammar check, but if you're available for anything else regarding actual writing, I'd be more than happy to send my baby to you as well :)

1) Comment to this and I will give you 3 people.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of 3 people.
4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.

( On to the pretty pics )

Sorry for the spam, flist!

milenaa asked for the recipe of my birthday's apple pie, and since I already did a "bandomized" recipe as a birthday gift for her last year, I thought I'd do another one :)

Just to be clear, this is like fanart for a fic that doesn't exsist, but if it did, it would be Brendon/Spencer (this is my not-so-veiled attempt at getting one of you to write it for me, ok? :D)

Here's the first recipe
( Peaches with Orange filling for Bden and Spencer's Housewarming )

And here's the second one, which is a page out of Ryan's self-compiled cookbook (I'm not sure if this one is worksafe... let's just say that bjs are mentioned, ok?)
( Ginger's (awesome) Apple Pie )

And..uh.. The first two picture were done for milenaa specifically, so if you want to do something with them, ask her for permission, ok?

I've spent this past week blowing my nose and stumbling from one room to another, trying not to bang into door jambs and furniture. Stupid flu is stupid.

Took this from saba1789

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- What I create will be just for you.
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- You will receive your item before the end of the year (or sooner).
- You will have no clue what the item is going to be. It could be a story or poetry. It could be a piece of handmade jewelry or an art doll. I may draw, paint, collage or knit something. I might bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to repost this meme and make and send out five surprises of your own.

Ready, set, make! :)
I promise to get rid of all my flu!germs before making you things! I don't want to spread it over international borders

Now, there's a Bandom Kissing Meme here. Those of you who are capable of stringing words together in a way that makes sense should go there and write something (because we all know I better stick to the flail-in-comments side of writing).

I've been so bored this week I ended up playing around with my journal: say "Hi!" to my new layout :)

That's where inspiration is.
Hook's quote aside, coming up with things for saba1789's prompt has been hard. I thought that doing the one with Spencer's left foot was challenging. Ah! If a little piece of Spencer made me sweat, I should have known that the whole thing would kill me.
Anyway, I've been toying with this prompt for a week and I finally got inspired this morning while waking up (a process that takes me from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on my hunger).
This time, I tried drawing with music in the background, so each piece is accompanied by the song I listened to while doing the first sketches. That means that today you get art and music!
saba1789, I hope these come close to what you wanted :)
( 5 things Spencer always has to has with him while on tour )

Well, that was the last prompt for the 5 things meme. If you ever want to prompt me again, you can. Just be aware that lectures started again so it'll take me longer to draw them :)

Now, flist? I need your help: should I upgrade to a paid account or not? I'm very tempted... but I don't know if it'd be worth it. Opinions?

So.... Let's start this rambling post saying that I love memes of the "5 times/things" variety an unhealthy amount. I like reading the prompts and I enjoy even more reading what the authors come up with. The only let down is that I can't ever partecipate to those because writing fails me (even more when it's in a language that is not my own). But.
A couple of days ago milenaa asked for 5 times/things prompts and earlier she posted the response to mine (you might want to click on the link, read it, be jealous that she wrote it for me and then save it in your memories. Sorry for the smugness, but it totally deserves it). Anyway, I told her about my love for this kind of meme and that I wanted someone to invent a 5 things meme for people who can't write worth beans but are quite capable with pencils. She went all "Duh! You just did!". So, to thank her for her awesomeness at writing (and making me realize the obvious) I drew the response to her prompt.
Therefore, I hereby present you the first ever (at least to my knowledge; if you know if someone has to be credited for the idea, let me know) 5 Things Meme: The Drawing Version.
milenaa's request was : 5 Things Brendon threw at Ryan.
I don't think there need to be a warning, but just to be safe: there's a hint at a slash pairing that is so veiled I don't believe you'll catch it so...
( Catch! )
I had so much fun doing this that I decided to follow milenaa's advice and give this thing a try, so...
Give me prompts? I'm in Bandom, Harry Potter, Disney and Merlin fandoms so you'll have to ask for something from those realms and, please, keep in mind that this is an art meme, so don't prompt me with, say, "the 5 aspects of Andy's personality that Patrick can't stand" because I wouldn't even know where to bash my head. Ask for something "drawable" (I don't care if that is not even a word).
Other than that, go wild! Spread the word and tell your friends about it. I'm a friendly person so you don't have be on my flist to prompt me. :)
