I never knew that finding red/blue colored pencils for sketching would be so difficult. I finally decided which brands/colors I want, but the local art stores (Hobby Lobby and Michaels) don't carry them. Staples doesn't carry them. Amazon doesn't sell the individual pencils, and I don't want to drop $6-$15 on a set until I know that I like them.

Did LJ delete the "view this page in your own style" option? I can't seem to find it anywhere when I'm looking at other people's journals. I guess it's not a huge deal for me, but there are a few journals/communities that I prefer to view in my own style because their default style gives me a headache and/or eye strain.

On a related note: has ( Read more... )

My blue nail polish from almost two weeks ago showed no signs of coming off, so I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands. I bought some acetone-free nail polish remover at Target. Bad idea. Worst idea I've had all month, probably.

I had to stop within 20 seconds because the fumes started burning my throat and it was getting a bit hard ( Read more... )

I've started to become addicted to Fire Emblem 6. I use it as my reward for doing productive things. It's amazing how much I've accomplished since I started using FE6 as an incentive. In the past I've tried motivating myself through internal pep talks ("you should do ____ because think of the long term benefits"), logic ("I know it's overwhelming, ( Read more... )

Just got back from the movie theater. I saw The Hunger Games. My mother saw Mirror Mirror instead because she didn't want to watch kids kill each other. What a wimp. For the record, if anyone was thinking about seeing Mirror Mirror... apparently it isn't very good. My mother said she enjoyed the movie, but it was highly flawed. You might like it if ( Read more... )

I just bought a paid account because I was starting to really miss my icons and the ability to track threads.

And then (just to spite me for having a free account for so long, I suppose) LJ decided to break all my icons by naming them things like "pic #107049119".

The super frustrating part is that when I had a free account, the names were correct. ( Read more... )

At times like this, I really wish I drank coffee, or at least something with large amounts of caffeine in it. My sleep schedule is kind of messed up (that is, it's 12 hours off), and I have to get it back on track by tomorrow. I'm fixing it the only way I know how: by forcing myself to stay awake all night and all day, until I want to collapse from ( Read more... )
