Tumblr is really obnoxiously addicting and I kiiind of wish I hadn't joined? BUT THERE'S SO MUCH PRETTY! I started following too many people though, and people reblog each other a lot so things get redundant, and AHHH TAKING OVER. So not okay. BUT. PRETTY. Also there's a lot of love out there for one Jacob Pitts which makes me everso happy. <3

It's also a really interesting venue in which to stretch my Photoshop muscles - I really, really love working on larger canvases, layering images and colors, so that's a whole lot of fun. I just made something I sort of love a whole lot, so I thought I'd pop over here and share it with Livejournal, my first and TRUE love. ♥


(Click for hi-res)

My first idea was just to layer two of the pretty parachute shots on one another, but then I came across the picture with the flames and went hmmmm... so I threw that on top and LOVED it. So I tweaked and textured and I'm really happy with the outcome. Paratroopers! ♥ Do let me know what you think! :)

Today I have been beyond unspeakably exhausted. It was really unpleasant actually. I barely made it alive through lab meeting. Note to self: GO TO BED instead of fucking around on the internet. This is an ongoing problem and my life would be MUCH BETTER if I actually managed to go to bed at a human hour instead of delaying it all the time. My average bedtime is 2 AM, and I wake up at 7 AM. Not really all that healthy! If you see me on Twitter at a stupid hour, yell at me? :)

Anyway, after lab we went out for drinks at happy hour to celebrate one dude getting a postdoc, one paper getting published, and the arrival of two new members of the lab (including me! :)). I hung around for a while and chatted, but did I mention I was tired? So I bowed out a little early and went to Borders, which was VERY fruitful. I bought Eugene Sledge's widely lauded book, With the Old Breed. From what [livejournal.com profile] newredshoes has said while reading it, I know this book is going to get me right in my heart. I'm both thrilled and a little nervous. (I still haven't watched last night's episode of The Pacific, so please don't spoil me!)

I also bought GUY GAVRIEL KAY'S NEW BOOK!!! :DDDD I've been following his blog a bit during the publishing process and EEE I am so excited. The summary looks intriguing and fascinating, as always. I CAN'T WAIT. I love him sfm. ♥

Been a long time since I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning making icons, but damn our show is pretty. Seriously! Look! Cherry red mustang, om nom nom.

I haven't made a response post yet to SPN 5x02, but um. I LOVED IT WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS!!!!!!! I am really, really thrilled with our show on every damn level. It feels like season 2 again! Do you realize how wonderful that is?! *HAPPY SIGH* Even the music is kicking ass again! I download all the songs after every episode! I have 60 songs from seasons 1 and 2, didnt bother with seasons 3 or 4, but now I'm back with it.

I'm back in love, you guys. And sure, it's gonna stamp on our hearts a few times, but I'm gonna love every damn second. Because I'm easy like that, obviously. UGH WINCHESTERS. ♥_____♥

I would talk in more detail but WOW I am tired. And I need to accomplish shit tomorrow, like seriously. SO. Sleep time! <3

ETA: Here's the handful of icons I made. Feel free to snag (with credit, preferably)! Beautiful caps are by [livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis :)

I feel like I should post. I also feel like I should go to bed, because it's almost 4, what what? But I kind of don't like going to bed without having posted at all (haha LJ addiction, do they prescribe medication for that?) because then I tend to have few to no comments to wake up to in the morning, and that's just not fun. Soooo... tell me things, guys! Anything! How's your life? How do you feel today? What makes you happy? What makes you sad? How do you feel about Panic at the Disco's mothertrucking FACES? I know they panic MY disco.

A few tidbits, which would be a full post, but instead... are merely tidbits. For I am yawning my face off.

1. New Friday Night Lights for the WIN, you guys. I love this show ridiculously hard. This week it was Smash that made me cry - not once, but twice! How unexpected! Also, there was loads of Timmy Rigs. This made me happy. Why does no one talk about this anymore? It's still absolutely one of the best shows on television, in my opinion, perhaps behind BSG. Amazing.

2. HARMONY, you guys. UGH. MCSHEP. ♥

3. I made icons today! That's kind of all I did, but whatever. And not many of them, but the ones I ended up with make me SO HAPPY. I really haven't been pleased with my icons lately, but I am just so so happy with these, I almost feel like they had to be made by someone else, I'm never so happy with my own! This one is my faaaaavorite - made with one of my LOTMS caps, which I WILL get around to posting, I promise. But dude. Basement!Gerard, chilling in his kitchen with a cig and coffee. I love love love how the coloring came out on this one, how he's got a bit of a glow, the rich red of the cupboards, the amazing font that I discovered today. Yay icons! My inspiration was drawn from [livejournal.com profile] ownthesunshine, the graphics comm of an amazing artist who does textures/brushes and REALLY good tutorials which just gave me so many new ideas about directions I could take my icons. Hurrah! I also made these:

......

4. Had dinner at a pub tonight with roomie Kate (who is still "faaaab" *draws hearts*) and two of the other American girls. Chicken wrap = FANTASTIC. Seriously, nnngh. Sogood.

5. Let us conclude with some FRANKIEFACE. Except, really, it's more accurate to say some nnnnnnnghfrank. Because ohgod. Brace yourselves - lethal doses of sex behind the cut. )

6. Remember, tell me things! Talk to me, darlings! *smushes you all with love*

exsequar: (Girlyrock - Gabe/William HEARTS)
I've made a big post of bandom icons over at [livejournal.com profile] shinyshapes, which you can find here, if anyone's interested! 95% Panic!, but there's some Gabe/William in there, and a few others.

I went shopping with my mom and sister today. I bought a hot outfit for hitting the pubs in Dublin - really dark jeans (short! they don't drag on the ground! :D) and a gorgeous blue and black top from Express. That one was a bit pricey, but I can never find "nice" tops that I don't hate myself in, so this was quite a find. My sister and I also dragged our mom into Hot Topic and were rewarded - I got a The Academy Is... tshirt on clearance, and she got a Panic! tshirt on clearance! Woo! The girl working there was awesome, I liked her a lot. Yay for successful shopping! \o/

Right now watching futbol with my brother... Real Madrid vs Villarreal. I love this game. I can't wait to be in a place where people are so passionate about it.

FOUR. DAYS. *flail*
exsequar: (Girlyrock - Panic! - Double date!)
Quoth a friend of a friend: "Irish guys in clubs are EXTREMELY forward, so don't be shocked if you meet someone and three minutes later he's sticking his tongue down your throat (Right, how can you NOT be shocked by that? But making peace with the fact now might at least make it a bit less jarring later)."

HAHAHA. This is simultaneously terrifying, hilarious, and AWESOME. Oh god. *miniflail*

I had a whole post written up about TAI and Panic!'s lyrics in the songs "Black Mamba" and "London Beckoned...", and how they both approach the whole "fuck critics" idea but Panic! pulls it off with so much more pizzaz and awesome, at least in terms of the words, but then I lost it and I don't feel like writing it up again. Suffice to say, I love Ryan Ross's words, they're so original and clever and snarky, and William Beckett is a ridiculous human being whom I love despite myself. I'll just share this, some of my favorite lines from Panic!'s song:
I'm burning and I'm blacking my lungs
Boy you know it feels good with fire back on your tongue
If you talk you better walk you better back your shit up
with more than good hooks while you're all under the gun

Oh Ryan Ross. ILU.

I spent all last night making PANIC! ICONS! Whee! Of course, it kept me up til 3:30 AM, DOH, but dude. So fun. They're all photogenic and adorable and in love with each other! It's extremely conducive to a million icons! This is my favorite one yet, I LOVE THAT PICTURE. *draws pink sparkly hearts* Boooys!

Of course this gives me a problem, because, well, when I make icons I want to upload ALL of them because I love them so much, and I've already got FIFTEEN Panic! icons uploaded as a result, but that means something else has to go! I've got 112 icon slots and want to use 1000. LIFE HARD. I've still got a gazillion SPN icons (I had over 70 at one point! jesus) because there are so many I can't bear to part with, but those have been suffering too. Sigh sigh! *g*

I now have a [livejournal.com profile] hebrew_hernia!! We just watched the SGA ep Inferno, because she accidentally skipped it in her S2 watching, and now we're going to watch A Dog's Breakfast! YAY HEWLETTS!!! Then later perhaps we'll watch TAO OF RODNEY or something almost as excellent :D

In honor of Monica's visit, I give you today a dose of CHUCK.

HI CHUCK HI! *beams*

For starters: HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] nebulein!!

You are awesome and wonderful and lovely and I feel like I've known you FOREVER and that is fantastic. You're sweet and funny and squeeful and I maybe kind of adore you ;) I really hope we get a chance to meet up while I'm in Europe! That will be so much fun!!

Here are my offerings, such as they are. I hope you like them! Anything you want changed, just say the word! Inspiration for 6 came from your comment last night, haha. It's silly, but hey :)

Now a really fun meme that I haven't done in a while, so I'm doing it with a bunch of my new loves.

List twelve characters, then answer the questions behind the cut. Don't look before you make your list!

1. Sam Winchester
2. Rodney McKay
3. Rusty Ryan
4. Brendon Urie (shut up he counts as a character :P)
5. Ryan Ross (him too!)
6. John Sheppard
7. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace
8. Faith Lehane
9. Dean Winchester
10. Danny Ocean
11. Remus Lupin (Marauder era)
12. Captain Jack Harkness

(Note: Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie are members of Panic! at the Disco. For the sane on my flist :P)

Let the fandom mashup begin! )

Oh, so much fun. But I say again, it's slightly worrisome that all my favoritest characters would want to strangle the bandom boys. Well, except Jon Walker, because JWalk is just that awesome. But yeah. Their youth, affectations, pretension, girly aesthetic, perky music - so not up the alley of anyone like Dean or Rodney. Oh man. ♥ I just desperately want to throw them all in a room and SEE WHAT HAPPENS. It would be hilarious.

I spent practically all day yesterday looking at bandslash picspams and videos. I want to make a post about what I learned, and what I love, and some of my favorite pictures (I have over THREE HUNDRED saved. ALREADY. JESUS.) but I REALLY oh god REALLY need to force myself to work on my paper. So that will have to wait! Toodles!

GIP - just won People's Choice over at [livejournal.com profile] deanandsamlims with this :) Yay. I'm really pleased with how it came out. Oh, boys! ♥

I got out of physics lab within an HOUR. It was joyful. I fully intended to use the subsequent free time to study for orgo, but instead I sat down an watched an episode of SGA S1, then flisted for a while. *facepalm* I am a rockstar. :P

GIP DARLINGS!!!

Feel free to snag with credit! ♥♥ (I know it's simple, but I couldn't bring myself to clutter up their PURE LOVE!)
