Hello =]

some of you have met me online tonight *squishes lilith_lilium* On the 26th I went down to Florianópolis to spend the week and the New Year's Eve. It was... brilliant. The place is breath-taking, marvellous beaches, incredible food. The hotel was very very good and I made great friends there; hope I'll be keeping them! I'll post later with pictures... on the morning of January 2nd, we drove to Curitiba to stay at my uncle's - plenty of rest and LOTS of food. I had a great time. I'll post tomorrow maybe with pictures... should be leaving on Saturday, early morning, to the beach again.

To kill the time today while I waited for my internet conection to be arsed to work, I've made a few LotR icons. The ones featuring Miranda were made out of these bases by justinetre; thanks, sweetie! I hope you like the makeup I've given your babies!!! The Éomer, Legolas and Orli ones were born out of RotK EE & extras caps by my dear perseph2hades.

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the five LotR icons to IJ.

You know me, just comment here and credit me in the keywords, and these shall be yours. I'm easy like that ;)

I'm almost sorry that I posted the prologue of Alabaster-Carved Galatea at lucifersdragon, and that's because, as much as I love that story and my ongoing Green Mirrors, I haven't written a single word since Christmas and I don't think I will, at least until after Carnival or so. Which is in February. I'm sorry. ...well, although, I've had an injection of wounded pride lately, so maybe I will write after all. *shrugs*

I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone who replied to my last post *huggles* I read your comments on the 27th and you have no idea how much they improved my trip, and helped me relax and enjoy myself without feeling so guilty. You're all precious and I know I've been posting and posting and neglecting comments, and I'm sorry. Tomorrow is catching-up, as I promised sm_malfoy. If you've got anything you want my opinion on, leave a poking comment!!!! =D

ETA: From menel ;) here's my amusing answer, dear:

In the year 2005 I resolve to: Get more in touch with my inner sociopath. Get your resolution here

Don't worry about the fic, dear. Just enjoy yourself since it's summer. *winks*

I did a new Slyth comic! It features a yeti. I think you'll like it. ^^ I don't have the link on me because I'm a lazy weenie but it's on my LJ and is about three posts down.

Hello, hello!

I knew we wouldn’t be able to ‘talk’ while you were here. My schedule just doesn’t allow for it, even if I’ve cut back severely on my obligations. :-(

Anyway, it’s absolutely lovely seeing you here. I’m thrilled to know you’re having such a great time. And I’m equally thrilled that you had the time to turn out more lovely icons! ::rubs hands gleefully:: Have more to add to my collection. (And since I recently purchased extra userpics, I might actually get around to using them! LOL.)

Here are the ones I’ve nabbed and some accompanying commentary:

#1 – Heavens, you know how much I love Eomer, right? This is gorgeous, especially the text because I do think of the Horse Lord as an intensely private person who needs to be drawn out. (And who better to do that than Legolas? I’ll be putting up “Riding Lessons” soon. I swear. I think you might like it.)

#3 – This icon had me laughing out loud, and I’m an Arwen fan too! (Book-Arwen, I mean.) Besides, Liv simply couldn’t compete on the day. Legolas left her in the dust in the radiance department. ::snicker::

#5 – All the Miranda Otto icons are divine. I’m a big fan of hers and #5 is my favorite among the lot. The text has a lot to do with it. The word ‘want’ so perfectly fits the desire in her eyes. And she’s the kind of chick who looks like she always gets what she wants.

#7 – I have this photo of Miranda too. Again, it’s the accompanying text that works so well. I’ll probably use this one over on lady_sisyphus. Feeling lonely these days . . .

Re: Your resolution – It’s even better than mine! LOL. I knew you had sociopath tendencies in you.

And so ends another lengthy Menel comment. /bow

I so want to see Aviator. Have you seen it yet?

::weeps:: No, but the posters are starting to go up so I m hoping it will be here this month. I m hoping Finding Neverland will be here this month! ::weeps some more::

Now, now, we've had a loooong conversation about feeling pressured to write. *sighs* I guess it's useful not to let yourself drown in sloth, but don't be so hard on yourself.

Yes, I remember this conversation. Oh, I m not so hard on myself. Writing is relatively easy for me, when I m inspired and have the time. (I have neither atm, but what else is new? :p)

Why doesn't it count? *curious*

Good question. I guess it s because I think of the series is a bunch of fragments rather than the regular prose narrative I m used to writing. Prose narrative seems more . . . substantial. Also, the series is so personal that it s almost a form of journalizing. (Actually, did you know that journalizing now could fall into the category of creative non-fiction?) Bottom line, it doesn t feel like fiction to me going by my standard definition.

I have never written a proper LotR fic. ::is completely shocked::

I've got a whole notebook - no kidding - of sketches of a Faraboro fic that I was going to gift a friend for Christmas in 2002. *ashamed* I just never sat down and did it.

Well, it s not too late is it? I mean, I m sure said friend would still appreciate it. In fact, it would be even more unexpected now. You could even call the fic Sketches if it a series of sketches detailing the brothers relationship. (This is so ALD. ::grin::)

*hugs* Sorry to have poked.
Not a problem. I was so happy to see your review. :-)

I hope it does get there, because it's such a great film.
I have no doubt! I m such a huge Mike Nichols fan. His films always feel very intimate, very gritty and real. And he really specializes in dissecting human relationships.

either way, let me know when you watch it!
I ll be sure to!
