Hello hello my lovelies!

This is the last call for Holiday Cards! If you want to receive one, please click this here link :)
For those of you who wanted to send me one in return (which omg, how awesome are you? <333), my address is the same as last year but if you don't have it/lost it, just check it out here :)

In other news, the claiming posts are up over at bandomreversebb and I've never seen such a beautiful collection of fanart pieces and fanmixes before (I'm not familiar with vocal perfomances, but I'm sure those are brilliant, too)! Bandom, how are you so awesome? My piece has already been claimed and I can't stop bouncing around in glee :D I'm pretty sure this bigbang will be a complete success \o/

And now a meme because it's been a while :D

( ask me stuff! )

Bandom people! Today your attention is needed in two places!

First, you should check out the Bandom Friending Meme because new friends to share your squee with is the most awesome thing!

Once you've spread the bandom love, you might want to head over to the Bandom Pretend Dating Fest (and if you prefer, it is also crossposted on DW!) and leave all the prompts and fics you want :D


Also also, drive-by rec for my TSN-loving flist:

The Giraffe Notes (Jesse/Andrew, NC17, +16k) by jeyhawk
The impossible love story of a mouse and a giraffe featuring a crush that last a decade, a very grateful movie star, the fine art of falling in love over the internet, a possibly naughty tattoo, three awesome friends, cats, nerves, and a spectacular first date.

I can't rec this enough, okay? It is charming and sweet and filled with love and it has the cutest doodles I've ever seen and YOU JUST NEED TO GO READ IT NOW!

HAVE A HAPPY SUNDAY, MY LOVELIES! :D

A-hem.



Discuss!

Hello hello! How are you on this lovely Sunday, dear flist? I am pretty fine, except that my favourite uncle lost ten bajillion points yesterday at dinner because he said Inception is the worst film he's seen this past year. MY FACE, YOU GUYS! IT WAS STUCK ON 'D:'.

ANYWAY! Reveals went up for the eames_arthur's fanwork exchange! I am completely sure absolutely nobody had guessed my piece. Nope. Not a single person. *makes face*

Title: Blackmail; Halloween 2010
Fandom: Inception
Characters/Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: Gift drawing for theeverdream, originally posted here as part of the eames_arthur's Fanwork Exchange
Thanks to L for the beta and angelgazing for the title :)

Oh! I know I recced this already, but now I can properly thank my then-mistery-writer! THANK YOU SO MUCH themostepotente for writing me the most perfect story everrrrr! The love I have for this fic, lemme show you it! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I hearteye all over the place everytime I read it! You should, too ♥


Also also! I am such a silly liar! These were not at all the last pieces for help_nz! The following thing is!

Fandom: H5-0
Characters/Pairing: Danny/Steve

( do not lift your stick over your shoulder )




Now, enough about my art. Let's talk about how excited I am for bandombigbang! I AM VERY EXCITED! Claiming is still a whole month away, but I am already bouncing on my chair and flapping my hands in glee! If you need cheerleading or want to spazz about BBB being practically here omg! LET'S ALL SPAZZ TOGETHER :D

ETA: asdfghjklfdsasdfghj! (500) Days of Tom!

You guys, I hate the flu. It sneaked up on me all gross and annoying and it won't go away :( I'm sick of coughing every 2 minutes :(((

Ahh, before I forget again...


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY chaoticallyclev!


I am sorry I couldn't draw you a b-day card on time! If you give me a prompt I'll doodle you something quick! :)?




And here are some drive-by bits and pieces!

qldfloodauction is still going on! There's still time for you to offer/bid on the main auction (and hey, a delicious account has been set up to make the browsing easier :))

bandomvalentine is going to open the secondwave claiming soon! Go and snatch some amazing prompts and then fill my life with joy, okay? <333

inception_art is going to host its first fest :D Prompting is open to everyone so keep your eyes peeled for the prompt post and then go crazy with it \o/

In news that interest no one at all, the Christmas gift from my sister finally arrived :D She got me The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories <333 I am besotted with it and the little red button! &mysister;

Also, it's been a while since last time and I friended some people lately so here, let's know each other better with a meme (stolen from ohohstarryeyed):

In response to this post, ask me about the first time I did/felt/knew something. It can be anything—the first time I ate Italian food, the first time someone I knew died, the first time I left the country, my first OTP, the first time someone saw me naked in a sexual situation. I’ll answer in the thread. Then (if you like) put it on your journal and I’ll ask you questions.

Title: Cherry Red Swirls
Artist: nasssty_slyth
Recipient:colouredmango
Pairing: Butcher/Siska
Warnings: mushrooms (no, really)
Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure fairy wings would be hard to conceal, so I'll go out on a limb and say this is not true.
Author's notes: If you wanted to write them being pretty fairies in a garden, I would read that. Dear colouredmango, you started it. It's all your fault.

( they are fairies )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILLY!!!

I couldn't help myself so... guess what? You get another present \o/

( Click to unwrap! )

Let's start with a laugh, yes?



*hasn't stopped laughing since this afternoon*

A-hem... So, I've been kinda busy with uni these past two weeks, but since most of my courses ended last Friday, I should be somewhat more active in the future :D (too bad one of those courses was children lit. :[).
Oh. Interesting fact: I found out that History makes me emotional. At first I thought it was only when the prof talked about the Constitution, but then we moved on and started discussing about colonialism and imperialism and the ideology behind them and their consequences and I teared up anyway. I thought I had mastered the I-won't-let-reality-touch-me attitude back in highschool. Apparently, not so much.

On a happier note, I'm starting to get an idea of what I want to do for my thesis \o/ I talked about it with my parents (mum:"Cool! And you could tie that up with this other thing! And also this other one! :DDD"; dad:"Uh. Uh. Here, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME TONS OF MATERIAL YOU CAN WORK WITH!" *drowns me under a pile of meterial*. &them;) and with a friend of ours who is also a professor (her face: :DDD), so I'm kind of not stressed about it as much I thought I would be.

Hey, you want to laugh some more? I found a couple of picture of Lara and I goofing with this year carved pumpkin :D
( Our heads are hollow... )

We spent this past weekend helping one of my aunt move. Actually, she moved to the apartament above the one she had been living in till last Sunday (which also happened to be my grandparents' second house. So we had to empty that one first and then bring my aunt's stuff in. It was a sad affair because half of the things there were my grandma's). She lives in Rocca di Papa, a pretty nice place ( as you can see :) )

Anyway. My plans for next week are: catching up with Merlin (I'm so terribly behind D:), tidy up my curtainfic prompt and send it over (because you can never send things too early!), draw something to bribe devilswhore_x with (you have received my email, right?) and come up with something other than housemaid!Brendon/count!Spencer because of course that is not a valid pairing for the Girl Challenge over at rarebandom (do suggest, flist!), buy more yarn, knit more hats, stop listening to Norah Jones on loop (yes, that's a link to dl her latest album), study (ahahahah), tick off some of the things on my to-draw list that keeps getting longer...

In conclusion



I am in love :)

Shiny thing n° 1: Fun Socks is the most awesome app for iPhone ever! It's almost better than listening to music :D

Shiny thing n° 2: my drawings for bandgirlsbang are up!
~ Greta and Alex for candidlily's "Put a Smile on Your Face". I enjoyed this story so much! I liked how she managed to put so many characters in it, giving them personalities, without obscuring the main plot line. Greta is delightful, and I have a new appreciation for Alex (a character I've never paid much attention to):)
~ Chauntelle and Adam for 152's "One More Day With You". I have to admit, I knew absolutely nothing about the characters in this story, so when I received the draft for my pinch-hit, I got a bit anxious (thank god for primers, but mostly thanks to wethepainted who put together a mini Adam Lazarra picspam for me ♥). Anyway, I really, really liked this story too. I'm pretty amazed by 152's style. I like all the little details woven into the narration, and the descriptions are beautifully written. The story takes place during summer and, I swear, you will feel the heat (I realize it is Summer now, but read it sitting in front of a fan and you'll see what I mean).

Shiny thing n° 3: apparently, The Young Veins will put out an album before 2010? Jon Walker, do not tease, please.

Shiny thing n° 4: I don't care if the video has no point, I HEREBY DECLARE NEW PERSPECTIVE THE HOTTEST VIDEO EVER. Spencer walks like a model, Brendon's hair looks sexy, they are wearing suits and all ends with them all rumpled and coming out from under the bleaches. It's like a failboats fanvid :)

Shiny thing n° 5: Money fic will come to you in about 5 minutes. *smiles nervously*

AWESOME MEME-VIDEO
( my response )

I was playing around with PS the other day and suddenly realized that I haven't got a bandom bookmark (le gasp!) so I went and made a couple and then I decided ( to share the love )

P.S. Ian was my favourite cabbaby... I'm am heartbroken ç___ç

ETA: SCREW THE HEARTBREAK!
