My last icons that were sitting on the hard drive for God knows how long... from now on there will only be freshly made stuff :)

( Nobody Knows )

Looks like this is this year's virtual gift xmas tree going around LJ... and I just couldn't help not to post it ;)



Christmas Gift Toy & MySpace Layouts at pYzam.com

So, let's forget my exam disaster for a moment and talk about what kept me sane during these last months. Some of this will just prove my insanity, because it may consist of mostly TV junk. But, c'est la vie.

+ Grey's Anatomy, season 3
(No need to point out how behind I am, I know!) Thanks to reruns late on Tuesday nights, I finally manage to finish watching this season. I have to say the season finale made an impression on me. A bad one, that is. It seems like nothing on that episode was good or happy. I imagine Cristina's wedding should have been the highlight, but with the whole 'Burke having to leave' debacle, it just turned into another sad moment. But I can't say I'm complaining too much, I love tragedy.

One remarkable thing: I go with everything Shonda throws my way. I found myslf shipping George/Izzie, which I said would never happen. I just wish Addison didn't leave to PP.

+ Project Runway, season 4
I fell in love with this show. First, for its awesomeness - how cool is that some people can plan and do a complete dress in less than a day? I would marry a man who would make dresses for me like that... no questions asked. But they're all gay? Second, while some of the outfits are great, some are wearable, and some are horrible. Or funny. Yes, I like the terrible costumy creations. They make me laugh! I'm currently watching season 5, but portuguese tv already messed the schedule, so I'm missing some episodes.

+ Amerian Idol, season 7
I started watching when I accidently caught one of the audition shows (those have to be my favourite... there some characters there! And then I just kept going, right now I think there's 10 or 11 contestants left. And what's really awesome it's that I don't know who wins! So, I'm not going anywhere near Idol webpages so I don't ruin the surprise. Although I'm afraid David Archuleta won... meh. I love David Cook (and LOVE his self-titles album!), he's great and amazing. Love him. And he's cute too! I also enjoy listening to Jason Castro and the aussie - Michael something. From the ladies I like Brooke and the irish girl. And from the judges Simon is teh best. His comments are worth the whole thing.


I think I'm forgetting about something, I'll edit this if I remember.

Also, why was my email flooded with LJ crap of the sort "we're moving = downtime", "more downtime", "oh, after all, there was no downtime"? And why do the ads keep telling me that Obama's IQ is 137?

So hey everyone! I'm finally back from my "forced vacations spent studying". I don't have words to describe how the last months were, but not pleasant begins to cover it. And then, the exam itself, was between horrible and terrifying. When one works so hard to get something and then it just doesn't pay off, the only thing left is pain and an infinite sadness. That's how I still feel today, and 10 days have passed since the thing. Yes, it took me that long to get back online. It's like all my strenght to live abandoned me (and I'm not exaggerating here).

But I'm back, and I'll try to be a better friend from now on, so you can all count on me. I tried to go back to catch up on what I missed, but it was overwhelming, so please let me know if I missed something important! I know I missed at least one birthday, so happy belated birthday Gisele (sweet_lemmon)! This is for you:

[100] Harry Potter icons
(including 27 H/Hr centric and some variations)

So, I think this is my last big Harry Potter icon post. Why? I think one of my hands is enough to count the upcoming scenes I want to icon. And it just isn't the same thing since I read the Halfblood Prince.

Lots of different styles featured, but if you look really hard, therr are some great icons there. And others that aren't just so...

( Harry, she said timidly, don't you see? This ... this is exactly why we need you.... )

[11] Lord of the Rings icons

Random, I know, and probably not very good either, looks like they came from my blue-green phase - if I ever had one. Just thought I post them, so they'd stop clogging the to post folder in my computer.

( the road goes on... )

Something happened, either to me or to the iconstests, or maybe to both. The truth is I don't really enter any of the contests I used to anymore, either because they vanished, closed or I simply lost interest - always the same small group of contestants, always the same winners. And I don't have time to indulge in things that bore me.

So, new post so I don't have to edit the small number of new awards through the lot of older ones.

Lost, House, Eragon, Robin Hood, and Grey's Anatomy --> HERE

Enchanted, Garfield, Grey's Anatomy, Harry Potter, The Golden Compass, Lord Of The Rings, Robin Hood, and Wicked --> HERE

Also, feel free to pimp me your favorite icontests!

For _wanderingchild. And anyone else who enjoys eye!candy ;)



( Cheer up child. I know things may seem bleak right now, but you mustn't despair. We're here to see you through. )

Sort of gift for the brave folks on my flist who just had to scroll through a rather big dissertation on the first 4 chapters of Twilight ;)

( How does she know... you love her )

Comments are love, credit if you use and don't hotlink!

More icons! This time from a movie which I sensed was a big flop. New Line Entetainment market it has the new Lord of the Rings, but what I saw at the movie theatre really disappointed me. Considering I didn't even like the story particularly, just went to see because it's fantasy damnit!, so my expectations were already low. So, disappointment produced only this.

[29] The Golden Compass icons


Preview:


( There are many universes and many Earths parallel to each other. Worlds like yours, where people's souls live inside their bodies, and worlds like mine, where they walk beside us, as animal spirits we call daemons. )

The usual applies: comment if you like, credit if you use, never hotlink.

[21] Robin Hood (BBC) icons

( If this cat doesn't bring a smile to your face... I don't know what will! )
Comments and Credit are ♥. Don't steal or hotlink, thanks!

Stolen from sweet_lemmon




(And about the personal update I promised weekes ago... I'm still planning on doing it. And I'm soooo thrilled about Lost I couldn't watch more than the first 3 minutes of it. It's like - after I've seen it, there won't be more - until the next week, of course, but who can my brain to understand that?)

Stolen from enamors

Made icons just for the simple iconing pleasure! :D

This is more for my personal reference, but check it if you want:

( List of books I read in 2007 )

So, opinions on any of those? Have a favorite you'd like to red me? Or something that you just think I might enjoy? Comment :)

First of all, I wish a Happy New Year to everyone! :D *hugs* Let us all find the strenght to make our wishes come true.

And what better way to celebrate than the tv show that has... everything? The innuendo, the historycal inaccuracies, the fluff, and the ability to put a smile on my face when I'm really down :)

Note: I'm behind on the show, so NO SPOILERS please :)

[39] Robin Hood icons (up to 2x02)

( I love you, you love me, we all love each other )

Comments are very nice, Credit appreciated, and please don't hotlink :)

Also, pimping robin_icontest, if you enjoy making icons and/or other graphics, enter the big special challenge being held at the moment! Even if you don't make icons, join so you can see the pretty and vote. Thank you!

Because, since 2001, this was for me the big Harry Potter year. Not always for the best reasons (let's all forget about a certain last chapter, it's christmas!), but because I re-read the books, have the DVDs ready for a marathon, and because of you - the most amazing fandom I've joined - we'll be delusional together and forever.

Happy holidays!
