art blocks can lick my pastry

So it's happening again...another photoshop dry spell. *heart bleeds*  I hate not having inspiration for anything.  I mean, I have a million things I have in mind that I would like to start working on, but every time I try to accomplish it, the blank pixelated canvas seems to mock me.  Bleh.  I've been meaning to get a new layout for my journal, but I can't seem to put together something I like.  So that is currently pending.  However, last night I started skanking_easy 's new Hayden header that she wanted, and for some ironic reason it is coming along rather smoothly.  So thank you smat for your burst of relief.  Hopefully, that banner will help me ride this blah period out, cause I hate not being able to just open photoshop and whip something up.  I was talking with sidewalk_doctor last night, as I do every night (haha), and she also feels my pain, so I am comforted to know that I am not the only person who from time to time goes briefly photoshop ratarded.  Cat rocks guys, like...fo realz.  Speaking of Cat, someone plagiarized  her Clark/Lana fanfic Tapestry a few nights ago over at Sweet.  I only go there now mostly to read Rob's fic, but as Rach was perusing the fanfic section she saw that someone had copied and pasted the first few bits of her story.  As much trouble as we have had with that place in the past, it is reasonable to say that I was OMGZSOEFFINGPIOSSED.  Needless to say, Rach and I PWNED the fook outta this stupid noob, and then surprisingly realized that other Sweeters were actually supporting her.  Wow, I thought we were like EBOLNESS or summat like that.  *is shocked*  I guess that goes to show that good writers are still good writers in the end.  I mean...we all were talking about it, and we came to the conclusion that at least Shawn (a previous Sweet poster who was well known for his good stories but was later found to have plagiarized the entire time) took his stories from ANOTHER FANDOM.  This stupid noob not only took the story from the SAME FANDOM but from the SAME.EFFING.BOARD.  My theory that most Clana fans are retarded has been proven.  But yeah, go over to Teh Pretty and give it some loff.  Cat's a great writer, and sometime's I don't think she knows that.  The unfortunate thing about the fanfiction world is that the majority of the stories put out there just plain suck.  Not only that, but the ones that suck get the most fangirling.  It completely befuddles me.  So yeah, go read her stuff.  It won't be a waste of time.

Now that I am done shamelessly pimping I think I will try to finish up smat's new LJ banner.  I'll post again later, hope everyone's having a fantabulous day!
