Sometimes things happen.

I have a few things to "report." I'm in a surprisingly good mood. I'm not entirely sure why. But it's better than brooding on the hundreds of kms that separate Gavin and me (and the three weeks), definitely better.
Well, like I said, I have a few things to say.
I'm thinking of changing my journal to friends-only (again). Mainly because the mystery and intrigue pleases me. Oh yes.

I'm going to have a Lord of the Rings fest at some point soon. Ideally, it'll be on Boxing Day, but it's probably a little difficult to organise that, due to family and stuff. It'd be the whole trilogy, the extended trilogy that is, and if I can really be bothered, I might even make up some games and quizzes and stuff. That's right. With prizes. Not big ones. Like, Lembas. I have a recipie for Elven Waybread, you know. Of course, I probably can't be bothered.

Gavin gave me Hypnotize, some loffley flowers (I get so many flowers from him :D) and a car


VROOM!

Whee tinsel.

Sunflowers! And little purple ones.

It's me!

for Christmas. Hypnotize is good. Interesting. I think it still needs some growing-on-me time, as at the moment I'm a bit more fond of Mezmerize. (please click-y the cut link there. It's funny.)
Actually, as you can see, I went a bit happy with the camera. So there's a few photos under the cut. Dial-up users, beware!
Gavin's Nana gave me a present too! What a nice lady. :) It's some hand lotion for moisturising stuff.

I got sorted into Slytherin at lumos_sorting. So happy. Am totally ditching hogwartsishome for Lumos. (Lumos looks much more intelligent and interesting, plus I was sorted into what I think is the right house. But I would have been happy with Ravenclaw too. Look! Pretty!




I'm making a new layout (again). This time I'm using ignited's tutorial, which is much more basic, and I'm customising it a lot more. So it'll be more miiiine
I'm thinking it'll be either really light colours (white background, very light foreground colours) or really dark colours (black background, grey or other dark foreground). I have no idea what the theme will be.

[Poll #631422]

I can't really decide which is classier. White and lights can look really awesome (like halffling's current layout, and very classy, plus I've never really done a light layout with a white background.
However, I like the broodiness of dark layouts, like... er... well, heaps of layouts. 'N stuff.

Since I'm trying to save the monies at the moment I'm not going to be getting Christmas presents for people, 'sept for perhaps a very select few, who I'm not going to list, because I don't know if I'll be able to think of something/afford it, and I don't really want anything, so don't feel you have to get me anything... Christmas gets really expensive if you get your friends stuff. So if you want to get me something, that's cool, and thankyou but I can't guarantee that I'll get you something so I'd rather if you didn't, and if you can't help yourself please make it small. But! I think I'll make people stuff for their LJ's as a free-but-heartfelt present. *nods* Like.. I dunno. Stuff. I'm not that good at it, but it's the thought that counts. I'll try for getting cards done but I never seem to manage it so I cant' really guarantee anything. :)

The reason I'm doing this is (I thought I'd tell you all since I normally do like to buy Chrissie pressies when I can) because quite honestly, I really want a car, and soon. I want a car as soon as I get my license, or at least as close as possible. And I want that soon, too. Because Gavin's going to be in Bunbury from the 3rd of January. And I think that is enough of an explanation. Plus car+license = freedom. Yep.

Violent Pornography [System of a Down] is such a great-sounding song. I don't think I could tell you which band I prefer out of silverchair and SOAD anymore. Though I have listened to silverchair more, and I listen to SOAD more now. If that makes sense. I did try. You should have never trusted Hollywood/I was standing on the wall/feeling ten feet tall/all you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica boulevard/

Bladerunner is a cool movie. Has anyone else noticed that now-a-days, heroes of movies are more accidental, and they don't really know what they're doing, they become the hero and stuff... but (with the exception of perhaps Star Wars) about 20-30 years ago, movies featured heroes who were already very good at what they do, old hands even. It's intriguing.

By the way, what do people think about friends-only journals? (Whee! Another poll!)

[Poll #631423]

I might write more later.

I want more icons.

Okay, so now I'm really feeling those three weeks
