Sayings and babblings

When looking for fonts today, I ran across this:

I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top.
Ah. If only I could use sarcasm as a teaching tool...

Consider the daffodil. And while you are doing that, I'll be over here, looking through your stuff.
For some reason, that one reminds me of Sawyer from Lost. I recently ran into an entire livejournal mood theme for Sawyer. Heh. I'm not sure I like the character enough to use him as my mood icons. That didn't stop me from downloading the mood set, tho. Besides the pictures are great! I am such a fangirl.

I really want to make my own mood set and I really want to do an all Jack Bauer 24 one. The problem is: The man is rarely happy. Dark, dangerous, gritty, painful and angsty. YES. Happy? Not so much. And the show is dark. Not just in theme, in actual filming. Still, I had fun and played around with textures and layering and the like. And I'm sure that I'm only doing it because I am having a hard time writing. But just for your viewing pleasure I will share three I have done. Besides, I want to see how they look on my webpage.



I'll see if I like them enough to keep making them. Anything to avoid writing... Creativity is good, right?

Made an icon..

More in my continual battle to avoid writing... Made this last night and forgot to post it.

I'm not sure if I like it, but the idea stuck in my head and I thought I'd see if I could make it work. I like the way it looks, I just don't know if it matches the way I wanted it to look.

Anyhow, more spam for your friends list...

Is it too much to ask...

to have one show, somewhere give me a woman commander that I can actually respect?

Please. I don't need some needy, neurotic babe who only reluctantly does what has to be done and then spends the rest of the episode whining about how terrible it is that she has to do the difficult thing and how oh-how-self-sacrificing it is for her to make the decisions that she had to make.

I don't need some chick in charge who, right after her sorry butt has been saved by some (really cool and absolutely right) military type, whines about how much better it would be if everyone could "just get along". Or worse yet, soothes her own conscience by insisting that it was everyone else who "forced" this evil decision on her, but that she knows, in her heart, that it was wrong. And you know, that makes all the difference. *sniff* So sweet.

How I hate that.

Suck it up and do the job or get out. The whole point of having to do something is that you have no other choice but to do it. Life is full of all sorts of nasty choices like that. And obsessing over things you cannot change... not only is it unhealthy, it's annoying. I mean, really, life-threateningly annoying.

...

Just once, I'd like to identify with a woman in charge. Just once.

By the way...

Much, much love for Daniel Jackson.
