a real post, with details and gaming and whining...
I have new icons! I haven't uploaded a lot, and some of them are just bases I want to alter, but I put them in there anywho; because I wanted to last night :D
(on a side note, ever see someone post to an icon community that makes you want to scream at them for having low res icon quality and shitty brush work? I mean c'mon srsly. I've made some "poor" icons, but I'm not totting them around on a community as if they are the "best things ever" sheesh!)
Getting back to my first point, I have to resist my urge to totally load myself up with disney icons (even though they make me happy) and try to remember all the times I've thought "I wish I had an icon that..." and find or make icons that will fill that need. Also, I have lists of icons steph and I have said we should have/make so I can work on some of those as well!
I am tired tired tired tired tired tired tired. I haven't been going to bed early enough--and for no real reason either. It's a damn shame... well, tonight after Timely Advice I am going straight to bed. Don't let me say anything otherwise.
Life has just been *really* intense lately. Not that I haven't loved every single minute of it, but if it's not one thing, it's another, if it's not another it's gaming and I (yes, me! and I can't believe I'm going to say this) NEED SOME 'ME' TIME! I haven't read anything in weeks, I haven't drawn or painted in a month or longer... I haven't been singing. I don't usually get that desire to retreat. I want to be active and surrounded by people all the time, but it's like I went from being really not busy at all (I said at that point, here in this journal, that I wanted to be "a full one third more busy") but now I'm TOOO busy; and with us rounding the corner into holiday crunch time, and gaming bubbling to a head on all fronts around me I don't think things are going to truely "let up" anytime soon.
And I'm not *actually* complaining... I really am enjoying everything! I love the way that things are going for me! I've even lost the "turning 25" wangst I was having a month or so ago... What I want is a day off. A day when I'm not working and I don't see anyone and I don't leave my house and I don't do any chores... If I could have that, I think I would be all set for another couple of months (that's all I really need, just to recharge my batteries) I'm totally prattling nonsensically now, so I'm going to move on...
Last night was FUN! teenjustice is going to be a blast! I think we've ended up with a really good group of players for it too :) and I was pleased to see that we lined up pretty naturally on the "what lvls of what" kind of questions (you know: what % of population should be meta? when should it be set? Where do we sit on the silly/gritty scale? etc.) It was really good. And I love all the character concepts!

Speaking of which, any *IDEAS* for a super name? Everything I come up with seems sort of stupid. (this is my least favorite part of supers stuff, I SWEAR to GOD)
