Couldn't resist making myself a Holy Tax Accountant Castiel icon. Very simple, but I like it. And it wasn't that simple to make, since there wasn't enough space behind him for the wings, so I had to kind of slide him along the wall. Put him in perfect kissing distance to Dean even, who's also in the original picture. I like this one
too, but I forgot to make the background a bit lighter or do the sliding along the wall, and of course I kept just the png-file. So now the wings are a bit hard to see. Plus, he's not wearing his coat, and well. It doesn't feel like him if there's no coat. I changed my default icon, too. As nice as Machu Picchu is, it doesn't really mean much to me other than that it happens to be in Peru and that I was there for two days. Now I've got this:
Limones! So many memories. From watching the price per kilo rise from 2 soles to 5 -- which, for Western standards, is still awfully cheap, but not for the locals -- and spectacularly drop again practically overnight to one memorable night when I went out at 11 to eight "tiendas" (little stores) to get a meager 18 lemons, ten of them in the very last one. And the kind of Cuba Libre we made, you needed at least two per drink.
In a (futile) attempt to bring more order into my life, I started with the wardrobe and cleaned out a lot of clothes. Since there's a bunch of stuff that's too big for me now* that wasn't so hard. The problem is that now if I say I don't have anything to wear, it's probably true. I have almost no sweaters left.
* I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I managed to drop 17 kilos in Peru altogether. Although I fear I'm working hard to get that back. There's entirely too much chocolate lying around in this house!
Next I wanted to clean up with old fandoms and burn all my NSync pictures to a DVD so I could delete most of them from the harddrive. Because, let's face it: I don't look at them anymore. I'm not really in the fandom anymore. I still like them, and I'm happy if they turn up somewhere and do good or if there are new pictures that show that JC manages to dress himself (occasionally), and if I make it to Camp Sparkle next year, I'll happily watch footage with everyone else till I drop. But aside from one WIP that I'd really like to see finished, I'm not reading anymore, and I'm hardly writing. The funny thing is that for a while I kept waiting for a click in my head to happen, a switch being flipped from one fandom to the other or something that would make me realize that I had moved on. There was none. And yet I remember thinking at the beginning, hey, it's all fine if you occasionally read Supernatural or the respective RPS, as long as in your head you're still fantasizing about the Pop boys**, they can co-exist. And then, boom, one day I replaced Chris and Lance with Jared and Jensen, and I never went back. That's kind of sad, but I guess that's what always happens eventually. I'm a bit afraid of it happening again one day, but then again, I felt the same when I was still deep in Popslash. I thought nothing as good could ever come along and then it did.
** Not like that. Or well, like that, too.
