alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Kimber☆Had the world by the)
Longer version of this mornings post.

Yard has been spring-erized; mulching was done and I also got the kitchen cleaned, made cupcakes and while I did not make ANY icons yesterday, I did play some Fire Emblem Warriors and I also got my dragoon character to 50 (and oh does he look smart). I did some edits on the Klaus icon I did for [community profile] icons10in20, so the one I am using isn't the exact copy. Also, I made this Kimber icon-- Yeah, she was my favorite jem character (along with Pizazz.) so I'm totally happy with how it came out. Like I love how vibrant it was-- that was such a great cartoon.

Brings me back to the days when I would pretend I was an idol singer, my imaginary musician boyfriend was Simon Le Bon and I would lock myself up in my room and sing whatever came on the radio.

Ah, childhood!

Also, I laugh at the thought that I even thought I was an introvert-- like really? What introvert pretends they are on a stage surrounded by thousands? a proper introvert would imagine themselves on an empty island filled with delicious food, thousands of books/media and a people count of ONE (themselves).

So everyone, what did you want to be when you grew up before adulting got in the way?

mine was a tie between mermaid and idol singer.

This week's challenge over at [community profile] lands_of_magic is comm recs. I am a social creature and I love communities, I think that there is a plethora of really great communities out there. I love to icon, it's one of my favorite things in the whole world and I eternally strive to get better and better at it. There are a few people who are motherfking inspirations to me in the icon realm, and I'm gonna drop it right here because sharing the love ROCKS!

[community profile] inconformista : this is my twinsie - [personal profile] carisma_sensei's icon journal and it is super amazing! She mainly does layouts, but the icons that she does are totally rad! (we really should bring back the word 'rad', because it's well, RAD.). She is behind such icons as the animated 'teletubbies' icons that I love so much and you'd have to tear out of my cold stiff hands. Go check her out, because well I have nothing but absolute awe and respect for her work!
[community profile] icontalking : this is a great comm for people who are wanting to improve their work. They hold challenges that you don't really vote on but are meant to sort of exercise your skills, there are many techniques I've learned that I've gotten over there.
[community profile] nexticon : It is a one-icon pass it on challenge. There is voting, but the purpose is that you icon something that is inspired by the last icon that was posted-- and it doesn't even have to be specific, a blue background reminds you of a character from a series? go for it-- creativity after all only has the bare minimum guardrails
[community profile] smallbatchicons : this is a place you can get all your small batch icons! It's also ideal for people who me who don't really do the 40+ icons, because I can post whatever paltry ammount of icons I just cranked out and leave it at that, and also as I said-- many talented iconists post there regularly!
[community profile] beautifulmechanical : this is not an icon community, this is a music community. It is all about sharing whatever music it is that you are feeling at the time and it's a great place to discover music that you may not have known about. Last month they did a 90s theme where everyone posted there favorite 90s jams. Please join this community, your ears will love it!
[community profile] gospelle : another talented iconist, [personal profile] rinoa_heartilly posts her work here, also worth a look up-- her style is very pristine and ethereal and shee does a lot of Final Fantasy based icons!
[community profile] hiraethe - My icon community, don't really have anything to add about it except come check it out and LAUGH because I overuse the red blobs on ALL my icons!

Happy comm discovery, everyone! <3

They did confirm dancer-- also they did confirm a few other things that make me squee (crystal tower everyone, CRYSTAL TOWER!) of course it involves one of my favorite parts of the lore, the Allagan Empire and while I know that it won't be the official lore from this present time, it will still be a fun playthrough. A minus is that they introduced two gender locked races and while I am not sad about that, (I was only ever going to make a viera girl) I know that there are loads of people who are disappoint about that.

But oh my gosh, the lore is just gonna keep getting better and better!

AND DANCER! WITH CHAKRAMS! What could be better? I really wanted this LAST expansion, so that it is coming now is just amazing!

Fangirling aside. welcome more friends from the friending meme! *waves* Disclaimer: I'm nuts--- I am sure that everyone on my flist will agree with me there, but I do like people-- and while I may not comment ALL THE TIME, I definitely read through the posts and if I see something that I feel i can validly contribute (without sounding like a moron), I will.

Now to make my post for [community profile] lands_of_magic which is pretty much a comms request post. Most of what I request are going to be icon journals, since that is once again, the majority of how I participate in fandom. I will definitely post the links here too so y'all can check them out as well!

It started like any other tuesday morning. Wake up, get showered and made up and then head to work.. the traffic wasn't bad and I managed to make it to work at around 8:40-- twenty minutes early which is what I aim for. Then right before I took my first call, I thought to myself.. "I wonder how much airplane tickets to California are?"

Imagine my husbands surprise when I call him at 11 am going "OWEN WE ARE GOING TO CALIFORNIA FOR A WEEK IN SEPTEMBER SO GET READY FOR IT!". My justification is that the ticket prices were SO GOOD! (210 for ROUND TRIP TICKETS-- for a total of 470.. not including Flight Insurance). This is what happens I guess when you have a wife that is completely and totally chaotic on the base sense. You never know what is going to happen, you may just get that phone call that says that you are going to Cali for the yearly vacation with no prior planning.

He'd be totally bored without me!

Being the dork that I am, I am plotting our eating trip through California. In-and-Out Burger, Del Taco, Texas Cattle Co, Shakey's Pizza. ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT WERE NORMAL FOR ME AS A KID/TEEN, and my husband gets to experience it first hand. In Florida they only had Del Taco, in California they have EVERYTHING! I am making a list and checking it twice!

So yeah, that was a thing-- lol.

OH MY GOSH I AM SO EXCITED! HOW WILL I EVEN SURVIVE THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
alwaysbeenasmiler: Made by the brilliant <user name=carisma_sensei> @ <user name=inconformista> (Dipsy☆No decievin'-- nuttin' up)
So for my Po icon, it was "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, for this Dipsy icon, it's "Hot in Here" by Nelly.

I AM BUILDING A KINGDOM OF WRONG-- FIGHT ME

Just saying that [personal profile] carisma_sensei made this AWESOME icon for me-- I WILL NEVER EVER GET RID OF THIS ICON NO MATTER HOW LONG I LIVE-- SERIOUSLY BEST ICON EVER! *WILL BE PRIED FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS YES*

SERIOUSLY SO EPIC I AM CRYING HALP PLZ

Check out her work at [community profile] inconformista, it's really snazzy!
alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Po☆In my eyes-- indisposed; in)
Watching episodes of Teletubbies in order to screencap Po for the icon challenge.

Oh. My. God. I am just dead.

But I have a lot of good fodder for icons now.

Yep, I'm nuts. (this probably isn't healthy)
