My last journal was public, and lately it's been friends-only. So I'm switching it again, I guess - a select few entries will be public, but the vast majority will be friends-only.
So comment here to be added! In all likelihood, I probably will - just tell me how you know me or how you found me (i.e. common interests).
Note: Most of my very old entries are f-locked. I started sorting them, then got bored. Sorry about that.
- Mood:
decided - Music:California Girls, by the Beach Boys
19 Stock
10 Lord of the Rings
15 Twilight
6 The Other Boleyn Girl
6 Tamora Pierce - Keladry and Shinkokami
8 Harry Potter
7 A Great and Terrible Beauty - Gemma (minor TSFT spoilers, there's a couple quotes from the book)
2 Helena Bonham-Carter
Example:
(I cannot believe that I seriously made Twilight icons...so I had to make some 'Twilight fails' sort of icons as well.)
Over here!
Stolen from various people.
Put your iPod on shuffle and write down the first line of each song that comes up (I did 100, just 'cause). In the comments give me the name and artist of whatever songs you can identify (it's kind of like that moviequote meme but with songs).
There were quite a few instrumentals that came up, but I skipped those.
- Music:Across the Universe, by the Beatles
- Music:Tequila Sunrise, by the Eagles
Harry Potter (the Black sisters), A Great and Terrible Beauty quotes (vague TSFT spoilers), Grey's Anatomy, The Other Boleyn Girl. For the Black sisters, I used Helena Bonham-Carter for Bellatrix, Liv Tyler for Andromeda, and Nicole Kidman for Narcissa.
And yes, I am aware that Helen McCrory has been cast as Narcissa, but since she looks nothing like my mental image of Narcissa, I am blissfully content to use Nicole Kidman in my icons.
(Seriously, though, what genius cast Helen McCrory as Narcissa? I mean, how is that possible? I'm not asking for Nicole Kidman, although that'd be awesome, it's just that they should get someone that remotely resembles the role...I'm just saying.)
I am happy that DH is going to be split into two movies though, so they can fit in all of the book's awesomeness. Or more of it than they usually do, at any rate.

| What Your Handwriting Says About You |
 You are very extroverted and outgoing. You are loving, friendly, and supportive. However, you are also manipulative and controlling at times. You are extravagant, over the top, and indulgent. You set trends and influence people. You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well. You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart. You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous. |
I'm seeing the Golden Compass tonight - I'm so excited! I'll probably make a movie post later today or tomorrow telling you guys how I liked it.
By the way - ANTM fans! I am sooooo happy that Bianca is gone. I really hope Chantal wins! But I wouldn't really mind if Saleisha or Jenah win. Bianca was the only one I really didn't like.
On a random note, does anyone else agree that summer is slipping away too fast? :(
| You Are Rouge Red |
 Of all the reds, you are the most energetic and vibrant. You never need to recharge, and in fact, you often recharge others. Gutsy and brave, you've never let your fears stop you from doing anything. You figure that life is all about experiences, and you'll always take that leap of faith. |

queen_tualaI have a new fic up at fanfiction.net! Lucius/Narcissa, I think /maybe/ the last of my fics about them. Possibly. I may write another about them in childhood, but I doubt I'll be doing any more prison-love ficlets. Still my second-favorite HP ship, but I'd like to leave them on this note, I think. Unless, like I said, I want to do a childhood/Hogwarts fic.
LJ post
Fanfiction.net
I know that it's been going on for a while, but I haven't ranted about it before, so I'll do it now - it irritates me to no end that now summaries on fanfiction.net don't display slashes. So when someone tries to write a Kel/Dom fid but doesn't capitalize either name, it turns out to look like keldom. Which to me looks like a weird form of the word 'kingdom'. And in other cases it'll look just like a weird combination of the two.
And this also has been going on for a while (I haven't written anything until recently, so I can't say how long) but it seems the review alerts are dead >_<
And I realize this post was really, really random.
- Music:The Garden Meeting, from Memoirs of a Geisha
I need to start updating again, more regularly.
Does anyone have any good book recommendations? I'm completely at a loss for good books to read - I ordered a few books off of Amazon, but I just can't get into them at the moment.I love fantasy and historical fiction, among other genres, so yeah.
My new post on my icon community has LotR icons, Veronica Mars icons and Gilmore Girls icons:
Example: 
Link to the icons.
Finally finished Terrier.
Sort of back writing in the Tamora Pierce fandom, with a new writing community to rec -
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
5sentence_fics which I adore. Great prompts. Anyway, my new fic:Unstoppable
Because I love writing all-consuming obsession, especially between Tristan and Yolane. Oh hell, I just love writing Tristan and Yolane, period. Anyway, I actually am undertaking a multi-chapter fic, which weirds me out somewhat because I haven't written one of those in over a year (besides the 5trueloves fics, which I didn't publish on ff.net or anything).
- Mood:
happy - Music:This is How a Heart Breaks, by Rob Thomas
I'm also excited for the movie that comes out next year.
5trueloves is up!For the first time in a while, I think I actually might be committed to my newest idea for an original fiction piece (fantasy). It's not a sure thing, because I lose interest in writing fics and especially original fiction easily, but this time I hope will be different.
Anyone else going to watch Gilmore Girls tonight? I hope this season is better than the last two, which I really was disappointed by. They have a new writer, so that could either be good or bad.
- Music:Breathe, by Michelle Branch
Plugging my first drabble for 5trueloves. This one is Aly/Nawat, and very fluffy and sweet, if you like the pairing.
Aly wonders if Nawat loves her. Tamora Pierce fandom.
I love writing communities.
This is banking on the theory that R.A.B. is Regulus, of course.
I saw An Inconvenient Truth today, and have a message for you all: please, if you haven't seen it already? See it!
