Gorgous layout much!

[kseenaa]

I am screwed... *smirk* I am finding gorogus layouts everywhere! And I am slowly learning how to use them to. I think it has to do with the coders writing so easy tutoriouls nowadays... :-) This one I found when I stumbled upon in the community gawariel_design. Ain't it GORGOUS!!! o.O I am slowly turning into one off those that change there layout all the time...

Also, some links for today. This one beanbeans shared with her flist not that long ago. It is really odd... and also oddly calming. I highly recommend you check it out. The Book of Now....

I am also asking you to join fandomnominates to discuss who all the different fandoms wants to put on the LJ-board. There can only be two... to speak for us all on LJ. japewierd is usally on top of things, so more info about the sell of LJ check her link-filled info here.

Talking of fandoms, as much as we love... whatever fandom we are in, be it PotC, Xena, Buffy, Robin Hood, Kingdom Hearts or... what have you. It is supposed to be fun, ain't it? A place for us all to relax and laugh at or just drool at our favorite characters in different shows or movies together with others who think they are hot to. But sometimes the drama lama shows its ugly head or someone is just plain mean and evul. These things usually blow off and all is well in the verse again. But sometimes things go bad. Really bad. And that? Just pisses me off. silvestris, we have not agreed on everything, and we have had our heated discussions for sure. But... Women, you deserve so much more. You are a shining star, really. Hang in there, eh. I hope chigrima is a support for you, she has always been for me since I meet her.

For something completly different, that might cheer people up after my above rant, I found this wonderful PotC vid that is just... a hoot and a laugh really. Pirates... and country-music? Oh yes... :-D It works. And well. Check the music-vid Backwards out made by tiniowien. It is worth it. A small warning though, it contains spoilers for AWE for those who have not seen it yet.

To end it all, a small meme snagged from starrygirl604. If you want me to I'll answer your comment with this:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. Suggest that if you'd like to play this game, you can repost if you feel like it

Thats it for today! *goes back to reading flist and/or play WoW*

EDIT: More info about the advisory board where LJ users my sit with Brad can be found HERE.

*Raises hand* mememememe....O.o that sounds like I am about to sing...no one wants that...lol

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

1. Tell you why I friended you.
At first, because I enjoyed your graphics. Then, as we talked more here on LJ, I discovered you were one cool person with one hell of a life to live. And.... I got stuck. :-D

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Something that is never still. Because you never are. A flame, perhaps. Because feed you, and you don't stop, but still keep those around you warm and safe.

3. Tell you something I like about you.
Your strength. Seriously. Others had given up facing the things you have.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
The herd-rants. End.

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Where to do you get your strength from? Really?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
This one:

It is just you, to me. :-) And I like vampires...

[starrygirl604.livejournal.com]

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Where to do you get your strength from? Really?

In all honesty, it has to be from all of my friends and their encouraging words cause there have been severeal times where I have just wanted to give up but ya'll never would let me. I owe alot to every single one of you.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Awww... *blush* Thank you! :-D

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

the layout is teh awesome :-)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Isn't it though?! :-D I am so happy I found gawariel_design. They have layouts there for free users as well... ;-) Lately I have stumbled upon a lot of layout-commity's with really, really awesome layouts in them. I should post a masters list with them, somdady... *ponders*

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

haha that is exactly the kind of thing that i would do and get too lazy. PS. MEME!!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

1. Tell you why I friended you.
I think I stumbled upon you in a Xena-community... Started to talk, and discovered that you are one nice young women. :-)

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Wel, duh... Xena of course! Couldn't be anything else. ;-)

3. Tell you something I like about you.
The way that you are so open to things. And even when you are down, you still manage a smile.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
All your pictures of your glorious smile. Really. It is glorious, even if you don't believe it.

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Why did you decide to become a doctor?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
It would be this one. I so know how you feel there... ;-D

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

<3 Thank you :-)
Well, it's kind of always been expected of me. Both of my parents were psychiatrists, and especially when my dad died my mom freaked out because she thought that if she wasnt a doctor we never would have made it without him. so in case my husband ever dies, she wants me to be a doctor so i have that to fall back on.
i hated it because of the pressure in middle school and i told her id rather be a teacher, and she freaked out and sent me to live with my uncles in maryland, who i barely knew. they were supposed to help me and put me on the right path, but after losing all of that, i just failed every class on purpose and did some drugs and got a bum boyfriend, and my mom finally realized that she had done the wrong thing and brought me home. it was shocking for everyone, because i had always been a sweetheart straight A kid before.
it took my mom and i a very long time to get back to normal but now she claims that shes ok with whatever i choose to do, although i dont believe it. but i learned, thanks to dr. p, to step back and look at my life and i realized i would not be happy unless i was around sick people, smiling at people who are in trouble, helping people. i want to do doctors without borders. i feel like id be making such a difference... i know that im compassionate and that will find a perfect home in medicine.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Wow.... That is very impressive! Your mom most be proud of you now, isn't she? And I mean, you went wild there for awhile... Who hasn't? Honestly. And if they say they haven't, they lie. :-P With so much love behind your choice, I bet your gonna be a great doctor! Where ever you may end up. :-)

[melus.livejournal.com]

Wow, such a pretty theme!
*itching fingers to do something like that herself*
Swirly, shiny and winterish!

I think I'll nick that meme from you, it looks fun. :)
Please, do tell me. ^_^

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

It is a stunning layout, ain't it? :-) Perfect for winter-time. :-D I'll hang on to it until spring. I think.... Unless I stumble upon something else, you never know. I highly suggest you check out gawariel_designs. The stuff there is... mind-blowing. :-D

So... Meme... I don't know you that well, but I'll give it a go. :-)

1. Tell you why I friended you.
You were, or are, part of ze gang, Chigrima, Croaky, Anla and Silvestris. That alone made me curious. And so I friended you. Little did I know what a sensitive and sweet person you were. :-)

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
No fandom that I know of, so... it makes it a bit hard to pick. I'd actually associate you with a cat. Why? Because it just fit. Sorry. Can't explain it better. :-P

3. Tell you something I like about you.
That you always care so much about your friends. That always pay back, in a good way.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
The pictures of you that Chigrima showed me, when you were dressed as Vincent Valentine. :-D Inspired me to write my insane murdours and very funny vampire character for the LARP who's father is called... Vincent Valentine. ;-D

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
I have no idea... :-P Sorry. *blush*

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
This one, because it is soo cool! :-D

[astroflammante.livejournal.com]

Ooh, shiny! I stick to changing my desktop... My layout has been the same almost since I first got bitten by the Eljay bug... Think I need a "re-bite" too, haven't written anything for over a month now...

(And, yeah, mememememeeeeee! *grins*)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

It is very shiny, ain't it? :-D It is not 100% practical, but hey... You can't have everything, right? ;-)

Right. Meme for you then. :-)

1. Tell you why I friended you.
Well, duh! Your a very dear friend of min, of course! :-D

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
You are the Lady in Black. The color black will follow you for good, me thinks. That and also Betty Page. ;-)

3. Tell you something I like about you.
Your style. You always carry yourself with class, looking like the classy lady but with a sting. That rocks. *nod*

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
..... I'll just leavee this open.

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
How come you ended up with that classy lady look? Just curious. :-)

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
It would be this one, because he looks so wonderfully suprised and it is just what one needs for a WTF!-comment or entry. :-) I love it!


7. Suggest that if you'd like to play this game, you can repost if you feel like it

[astroflammante.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I have no idea how I ended up with this look... I was utterly uninterested in clothes and makeup and all that "girlie stuff" when I was 14-15. And then, at age 18 or so, I decided that even if I was as ugly as I had always been told I could at least learn to use makeup and things like that to make myself prettier. And I guess the ladylike style grew out of me being a history nerd: I didn't find anything but crap in the fashion and celebrity gossip mags, so I went to the fashion history books*.

Or maybe it was the fact that I fell in love** with a absolutely gorgeous girl in my class and wanted to look like her, which led to the discovery that these "Goth" people really know how to dress. (And there's great music too!) And then, a couple of years later, I found Bettie Page, and Dita van Teese, and the whole burlesque scene. Spending lots of time online admiring pretty women probably helped too.

Or maybe it was all that, and more... I can't point to one specific thing, I have just done what seemed to be most fun. :-)

* In which I found corsets. And opera-length gloves. And bustle skirts... Oh my.

** Didn't realise that then, of course. Me stupid. :-)

[astroflammante.livejournal.com]

I forgot to mention that overcoming my fear of high heels was a big part... :-)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Doing what is most fun usually have alot to do with things, don't it? Or do what one is most comfortable with, the rest be damned. :-D

[astroflammante.livejournal.com]

Yeah; and it gives itself food for growth. Being comfy and having fun means better confidence, which means having even more fun with one's clothing since one learns to not care about the naysayers. And then you get even more confident. For once, there's an upwards-spiraling thing in my life... *grins*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Damn true. :-D *cheers*

[dreams-of-ice.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous layout hun. Mememememe

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Thanx! :-D It sure is, ain't it? :-)

Right, so meme it is then. :-)

1. Tell you why I friended you.
I haven't actually, but it seems you have friended me! I take that as a compliment. *bows*

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Easy. ;-) Barbossa, since you write him so well. *nod*

3. Tell you something I like about you.
That your not afraid to write all of them together in one big heap. Although I don't like how you write Will, but hey... ;-) One can't have everything I guess.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
When you spammed my friendslist with a huge bunch of wonderful little Barbossa/Elisabeth drabbles. :-)

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Why are you so mean to Will? I like Barbossa and Elisabeth together, but one can still write Will IC with that pairing. *shrug* I just wonder. :-)

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
Now thats a pairing... *smirk*

[dreams-of-ice.livejournal.com]

*grin* Yay Meme. Make me smile for days I'm sure.

As to Will, it isn't actually that I dislike him, though that doesn't show through in this particular series I realize. It's just that I can't seem to get anywhere near in his head. I find him almost impossible to write, and so I end up doing him the great disservice of becoming the plots punching back. Though I do think you'll be pleased with some vague plans I have for him towards either the end of this one or the middleish of the the last in the trilogy.

*smirks at Icon* I am violently proud of that one. Number one it was the first photo manip I ever did, and if I run across the full size one I will send it to you some time. And also it was my first crossover non rpg based fic. I adored it. And them. Lots of bloodshed fun.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, since I like all characters, including Will (who seems to be disliked quite a bit... :-P), I am having some problems reading fanfics where he is... pictured less then the others. Because I don't think he is. He definitly deserves more then being a stories punching bag. :-/

[chigrima.livejournal.com]

*kramar* Tack. <3 Nej, det är verkligen för hemskt, och drabbade någon som verkligen inte förtjänade det. ;_; Men tack ska du ha! (vi ses i jul).

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Nej, det har du rätt i. Jag kanske inte håller med om allt hon säger och gör, men att bli förföljd på nätet på det viset... Det är bara illa, och är rätt och slätt mobbning. Och jag tycker MYCKET ILLA om mobbning, som du ju vet.

[chigrima.livejournal.com]

Jag vet. *kramar om* Och du har helt rätt. ;_; Men vi drar oss vidare här, dag till dag.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Det låter bra det. :-) Hälsa henne från mig (igen då, eftersom hon redan fått min hälsning i hennes LJ).

[chigrima.livejournal.com]

Det skall jag göra! ^_^

[godiz.livejournal.com]

Love the layout. Meme me!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

He he he... I actually had another layout when I wrote this post. THIS one (http://community.livejournal.com/gawariel_design/40466.html) to be exact. :-) I have been amusing myself with finding and trying new layouts lately. :-)

Alright then. Meme next.

1. Tell you why I friended you.
You were one of the "gang" (Silvy, Croaky, Anla, Melus). Also, it helped to friend you when we were sneaking on you here at the Borås Uni. ;-)

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Red. As your hair and your temprament. :-)

3. Tell you something I like about you.
Your honest and you speak up. Like me. :-) I like that.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
When I waved at you in town, and you just walked on. I shouted at you! No reaction. Music. Always music around you.

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Still in contact with the "gang"? Still drawing?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.

Dude! It is Hercule Poirot! :-D

7. Suggest that if you'd like to play this game, you can repost if you feel like it

[godiz.livejournal.com]

Finally broadband again! Whee! Which gang do you mean? I don't draw much because every bit of inspiration has been squeezed out of me.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

With the gang I was thinking about Croaky, Silvy, Anla and Chigrima. :-)

[godiz.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen anyone for quite some time. I'm hoping I'll see Silvy tomorrow but that depends on how well or unwell she is.

[godiz.livejournal.com]

I apparently can't read... Sorry...
