(no subject)

I have to be out of the door in around 15 minutes due to the fact that I have to get gas and I also have to get some coffee and something to snack on.

I went to bed super early last night due to.. *drumroll* migraine. I did get a few icons done (2 more for update= bringing the total up to 5-- five more to go!) and I also watched 2 episodes of Ancient Magus Bride and 1 episode of Phoenix Wright (that was brought on by a subscriber to hiraethe wanting more Phoenix Wright icons, and then I did 2 icons last night and I was already on that special roll, so I thought-- "why not get in the mood by watching some" as I have fond FOND memories of playing that game (Oh Edgeworth, my love!)

I also was trying to obtain Patty's "Gald Hunter" title last night-- the walkthrough I am following said it was "NOT MISSABLE"; despite the fact that I was a few plot points after where the FAQ told me to get it (late to the party). Someone else was like "Well maybe you are in a no-sidequest zone?" except I am not, I am wrapping up a shit ton of sidequests before I go to Myorza-- so idk, I don't want to miss something so totally Patty, I mean it's PATTY!

To everyone; I realize that I talk about icons a lot and my apologies, it is the one part of fandom that I actively take part in. Some people write fic, some people make fanmixes (and if you make fanmixes, please link me-- because I LOVE THEM!), but I make icons-- it is how I show my love for a particular series, character or pairing! For all you who have previous-to tolerated this, I love y'all-- you know this!

I hope everyone has a most awesome day!

And pegasuswrites wanted me to explain the following of my interests

ancient history

In school, history was always one of my favorite classes and also in history it was either American History or Ancient History-- and I don't know why european history really got lumped into Ancient Civilization, but in our textbook it did. I've always loved ancient civilizations though, especially considering how very close civilizations in the past was close to their god/gods/goddesses. As far as european history goes, there had always been a reliance on the afterlife but it was more geared in a secular way-- whereas ancient history, their entire lives revolved around who or what they worshipped. Yeah, there was a greater pantheon to worship but I think that life was probably simpler back when the priests didn't fear technology or books and what it could do to religion.

CLAMP

CLAMP is a group of manga authors/illustrators who have made such wonderful pieces such as CARD CAPTOR SAKURA & X/1999 (the dichotomy is great!). I loved CLAMP ever since Card Captor Sakura, and I stuck with them through all sorts of things, be it X/1999.. the Fai/Kurogane pairing debate and the "HEY MAKE 10 MILLION DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF SAKURA AND CALL IT A DAY". I still love CLAMP even though they are notorious for not finishing what they started-- they finished RG Veda, and that's enough for me.

regency romance

I love romance trash, but I love VERY SPECIFIC GENRE ROMANCE TRASH. That is the novels that are set in the Regency Period (think Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" era. Called the Regency because that was when Mad King George's son was regent. In most Regency romances, the terms 'cravat' and 'pelisse' and thrown around literally and figuratively like Tinkerbell throws around fairy dust. It usually involves social classes and the aristocracy (you best believe I know the difference between a Duke and a Viscount--) and in a world where most families marry their daughters to the highest bidder, the regency romance lends romance to it with daring dukes, wicked hellions and lots and lots of love matches. (And a lot of Regency Romance writers are highly feminists-- take Lauren Willig, Julia Quinn and Christina Milan).

Alright woohoo, completed! Feel free to comment and I'll pick something out of your user info!
