I come here tonight and realize that I've had a misspelled word in my journal header for 2 years... yes, I said YEARS. Two. *headdesk*

I've been learning paintshoppro and have made a ton of icons... they're on my ij :)) you're welcome to any you want... I frequently go back in to perfect them because I'm neurotic like that.
So if ever you think yours looks slightly different than another identical one you see,
it's because it is, so reload it :p And, please credit me...
And uh, overlook the bad ones, like the ones I quickly capped & resized for marathon icons
5 minutes prior to the marathon starting... you know : )
And wow, thanks for your support & thanks again Luce &pendulumchanges who rec'd me on ij.

Am in the middle of final exams and a *#@(&# project that is making me nuts... went to youtube for VALID RELATED reasons, but somehow ended up watching a few of the Gale interviews again... just to briefly hear the sound of his voice :) And I got it... IT. Gale. The man behind the interview.
He was never famous before. Never a child actor. Had just spent, what, a year in an acting school? Did a couple of plays? He was never a public figure before. Next thing he knows, he's front and center. Not only do people want to KNOW the nitty gritty details of his experience, he WANTS to tell us... everything! He has so much he wants to say about a subject that men are never confronted with. Never expected to speak to, much less expound on... but he is willing. And he has to choose his words carefully because it's a touchy subject. But he is willing. Willing to speak of his experience, what the character experiences, what it could mean to the audience, to society, and to the history of this genre.
Because of all of that, he pauses, is consciously fighting the 'you know' bad habit and making great strides in that area... and choosing his words very carefully because this is a great, fresh opportunity and he wants to get it precisely correct. All while trying to speak from his heart in an honest and open fashion. Holy crap... most other actors would brush off these subjects with curt rehearsed sarcastic bits and be done with it. Not Gale. It just made me sad that so many made and continue to make comments about him not being as polished as Brian. *pets Gale*
That's all, just wanted to say it. Now, off to slay these effing dragons ;) Peace out.

Today is a day I hate computers... just wanted to add a tag to my 2nd video... no problem, they have that enticing blurb... "EDIT ENTRIES" It calls out to the perfectionist that lives in my skin. I can only ignore it sometimes. This time, I didn't. Ignore, that is. I added a tag. I could see my video and everything... still there, didn't touch it, I swear... simply, Tags followed by Save Changes.
"POOF!"
.... yeahhhh... effing hell... son of a are you fuc what the fff kidding me?... **nods blankly** ...forgot to ask permission from the Computer Gods. Didn't make my 'fingers crossed hand gesture' while gazing towards the heavens, where apparently, I believe the Computer Gods reside... Those particular actions worked yesterday, in the midst of my error ridden and frustrating embedding frenzy. And mind you, it didn't start out a frenzy, it ended one. So those actions-- the crossing fingers/gazing ones-- yeah, they alone created a new superstition when it worked. And me being me, I forgot that yesterday I became a superstitious being and today opted for my normal haphazard determination. Encouraged by LJ. Yes, I can point my finger, I'm doing it right now, and you can't stop me. I couldn't edit unless THEY offered. **childishly sticks out tongue**
I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'll re-embed later. Tomorrow. Maybe never. Okay, probably as soon as I get back from purchasing more of that which keeps me alive... or is slowly killing me... cigarettes and Coca-Cola. Yeah, that's another thing. To all of my new northern friends... I lived in Atlanta 10 years, remember? I know for a FACT that God created Coke. I know nothing of the lineage of Pepsi, but I wouldn't trust it if I were you. And yes, when I re-embed I'll cross my frickin' fingers, chant the names Bill Gates, Al Gore and all the other Computer Gods. I will tilt my chin and......

I'm attempting to link a video... I have no idea what is the best or established way to do this. I don't read directions for creative ventures... I know nothing about youtube, embedding, live journal, or friending etiquette. Possibly, I can't even spell the word etiquette :p ... I swear, however, that at one point in my younger days, I knew... I remember making 100's on spelling tests. But, I digress, so, without further ado:
This is a test... this is only a test....
Should this have been an actual emergency,
you would be instructed... blah blah blah...
I will now attempt to link/embed/make appear by magic... my first video... Voila!
("How Soon is Now" originally by The Smith's, but this is the LoveSpitLove version)
Did that work? If so, I did this a few months ago. I owe a debt of gratitude to gio and/orpaddie
I'm pretty certain they're one and the same. I got the clips from the queer eyes site.
Being an artist/perfectionist and using MovieMaker for the first time ever... of course I wanted to edit AFTER posting it to youtube. And yes, as a matter of fact, I DID spend several hours editing it.
And yep, of course in the middle of the night, when MovieMaker froze for the 183rd time, I did accidentally, in my artistic/obsessed/perfectionistic haze ... apparently click no, rather than yes... to retrieve said frozen edited video. And, yes, my entire editted near perfect version went "POOF" without so much as an apology from microsoft or the gods of internet...
And since you're wondering, I did cuss profusly. And lost additional sleep. I possibly downloaded for free and/or purchased programs in the attempt to retrieve this edited version. And, apparently, I did so without the consent and therefore, blessings, of the internet gods. So, uh huh... lost forever. The near perfect version of this very video.
If you have read this far, and want to know which two particular parts I really really wanted to change and still break out into a clammy sweat when I view it, I will be happy to tell you. But, you have to ask ;)
I have two more on youtube, if this worked, I'll link them too. But that's all I have... so perhaps I should allow some time between the delivery of my Brian/Justin obsessed creative ventures... But I also have a Billy Joel NY State of Mind post season 5 almost finished, but abandoned upon my discovery of fanfic :) Will finish it as soon as you guys take a break in your writing :)
Damn, I'm really really hungry... must get the bow and arrow and head out to the woods... or the nearest drive through.

After answering a question regarding what I (a reader) expect of the writers a few days ago at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
babylonvip
I just wanted to give a shout out and send some X's and possibly some O's to EVERY SINGLE WRITER that is generous enough to share your creative outlet with others. As an artist, I truly respect ALL of you, I understand the need for a creative release--- and especially the vulnerability attached to the desire to share your work with others. In all honesty, I read far more than I have commented... not that I didn't want to acknowledge your work... I simply didn't want anyone to figure out the depth of my addiction at this time by someone figuring out just how much I've been glued to this fandom and neglecting my RL responsibilities. I feel kind of freakish, yet very much at home :p
And now that I've admitted, I will go ahead and comment on each fic I read, because truly, it's the least I can do.
If you haven't read the responses, I encourage you to do so, you may be pleasantly surprised by everyone's response.
Again... THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE WRITERS!
One day I will read the "Fandom Protocol for Dummies" as this is brand new to me... if I err, trust it is not intentional.
With that said, can I make a post like I just did? .... Laughing my ass off.

My need for more QAF lead to me to fanfic. Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL of the writers out there... WOW is about as much as I can say about that. The work is incredible and I'm honored to be allowed into your community. I don't really have a desire to write or journal, merely set this up as a means to enter... ( timidly ) I hope that's okay.
A special nod to Plumsuede, but if not for her writing, I would not have been drawn into this delicious vortex and to TrishaQAF who made me realize I had no choice but to put my feet up and stay.
Any author or story recommendations that are a 'must read' will be GREATLY appreciated.
