Week 19 Challenge; Shipping; Earth Kingdom Chronicles - Azula; "Typical"
General: Shippery
Yes, you heard right. The challenge for this week is SHIPPING. Find a cap that features your favorite romantic scene/couple/what have you, or combine multiple screen captures to acheive your desired shippy effect. You could go with tried and true pairings such as Kataang, Zutara, and Sokka/Anyone, as well as more obscure ships (like Oma/Shu). Heck, you can go crack if you like. Celebrate Shipping. Make fun of Shipping. It's a very open theme.
HOWEVER. When you vote for the entries for this theme, I implore you not to vote based on your personal shipping preference. For this theme, the majority of your vote must be put towards execution; content is secondary. Vote based on how nice the icon is, not the ship features in it.

HOWEVER, again, you MUST make sure that NO TEXT FROM THE BOOK makes it into your icon. Use any part of the image for your icon.
Remember, you may use stock images, brushes, textures, etc., but you may not use other images.
Lyrical: Mute Math - "Typical" (Listen on Myspace)
I have kind of fallen in love with this song.
Come on, can’t I dream for one day
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone
‘Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical
I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone
Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical, the typical, uh huh
I'm the typical
I'm the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical
Because it’s dragging me down
I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical
The typical, the typical, uh huh
Of the typical
Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
Can I break the spell of the typical, of the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
