Such relief
Woo hoo! I have somewhere to live!!!!!!!! I was starting to worry that I wouldn't find anything but I've paid the deposit and I have the keys and I can move in next weekend.
I've signed up for the second round of frontier_lims because I really enjoyed the first round. I don't have many icon makers on my flist, so you may be wondering what a lims is and why do I keep entering them when I find them slightly stressful. Well, a LIMS is a Last Icon Maker Standing competition. Every week you submit and icon and people vote for their 'Most Favourite' and 'Least Favourite' icons and based on the votes, someone is eliminated from the competition. Now of course it isn't much fun getting lots of least favourite votes. However, that is actually one of the things I like most about lims, because the votes are always accompanied by really useful constructive criticism, which is extremely rare in icon making. You also get positive feedback with the most favourite votes which is lovely.
If you want to know more, hsapiens has written a really great introduction to LIMS competitions here and obaona has written an excellent guide, how to give good concrit specific to icon making. Looking at the comments that accompany lims votes have taught me an awful lot about icon making and I'd recommend following one and even voting if you want to learn more about icons.
