Shakespeare - King Lear & Macbeth - Banners & Icons

OH DAMMIT. I wrote this big huge account of my last week, and it's completely gone. There was a power surge or something at my house, and it ONLY affected the computers. My computer shut down, and now everything I worked on is gone. What is the hell is the point of this Livejournal autosave feature if it can't recover what I wrote? DAMN IT.

I guess ( Read more... )

I have friended you, but I don't think you've friended me back yet. ;)

I think the best finals experience was my last ever semester, I finished every exam 20-30 minutes early. My exams that time were really spaced out, so I had enough time to rest between exams. And I've had 3 years to learn HOW to study for finals, so I was prepared. I can't think of the worst exam experience right now, but I absolutely cannot stand it when someone is constantly coughing in an exam. I know he/she can't help coughing, but it is SO distracting and annoying.

Your artwork is amazing, I love the colouring. Did you use light textures, or did you just brush on the colours (set at screen/lighten)?

Hi Lola :)

I am going to do a second round of friending in the next few months (after the stress of MCATs is over), and I will be adding you! :) I tend not to friend a lot of people because I want to actually be able to comment on every journal I friend. Please don't take it personally. It's only because I have limited time in the day, and I want to be able to get to everyone's journal :)

I finished every exam 20-30 minutes early. My exams that time were really spaced out, so I had enough time to rest between exams. I think this is the ideal situation! I wish my exams were like that, but inevitably, they're always back-to-back, so I end up spending 6 to 9 hours straight in finals.

I absolutely cannot stand it when someone is constantly coughing in an exam. I know he/she can't help coughing, but it is SO distracting and annoying.I absolutely can NOT stand people sniffing. God, it's so gross to me, that same column of phlegm going up and down their nasal passage. It's disgusting, and I get visual images in my head, and everything. ( ... )

Sweetness!

I really <3 the 1st and 30th banner the best, and that includes the icons with it. I like how you've used a lot of carnival in this batch. I love that font, and it works *perfect* for Shakespeare.

Great job hun! ♥

Hey Justine!

Oh, I got the whole video/clip theft thing solved. I talked to the person, and she apologized, and said that she did not know I have an absolute no-take policy on my videos, and immediately pulled the video off her site. I am much relieved, and that is all I want :)

I love Carnivalee too! I thought about using a different circus-y font, but I think this one looks better :)

Hope you're doing well :)

Hey you :)

Good food at college is an absolute godsend. It is manna from the gods. It is the water springing from the rock. Having FREE college food is something even better...maybe comparable to being high and tripping, but I am only guessing.

My worst finals experience... Probably having to show to my parents the F's, like two-pronged pitchforks, on my report card, under the space marked 'test'.

But that wouldn't be your worst finals experience if you were absolutely sure you were going to be Patti Smith :D

I suppose that I just wait for the frenzy to drain out of me, and that's when I consciously try to rest; trying to do so before is just futile.Ah, see, but my problem is, the frenzy just never drains out. I suppose it coagulates in my blood and pools in my lymph nodes, until I swell up with the phlegmy meaninglessness of stress and finals and the pursuit of good grades ( ... )

There is that cheery possibility. I firmly believe that most chronic illnesses are stress-related; perhaps there's a correlation between stress-prone personalities, and ailments such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I don't think I've ever heard any tales of stoners working at Blockbuster ending up with irritable bowel syndrome or Epstein-Barr. I'm probably stating the obvious, but I like to occasionally remind myself of this; maybe I'll cut down on the time that I spend pondering the imponderables.I believe in the medical/biological validity of psychosomatic illnesses. I have a friend who is doing research on gastrointestinal disorders and how it relates to stress. Apparently people get gassy when they are stressed, or aroused, or otherwise emotionally/psychologically imbalanced. I've never heard of people farting during the throes of passion, but I assume that can be a stressful experience ( ... )

I love 01, it looks soo... sooo... okay, I'm having trouble finding a suitable adjective which embarrassing since I'm a Lit major^_^

Even lit majors have their off days. My whole six-day journal is so damn boring to read that I am ashamed to call myself a literature major with interests to write fiction. Ashamed! I tell you :D

I find that I have my on and off days when it comes to creativity and finding good adjectives. Glad you like #1. It was a very, very frustrating banner to make :)

How are you doing? Hope you're doing well :)

I really like #1, there's something slightly surreal about it.

I can see you're going crazy over finals and I'm not much better with a new job to acclimate. But that's life^_^

Oh? What is your new job?

*sends job acclimation vibes your way*

*hugs.* Hopes things get better for you :)
