So, this fanmix kind of has an interesting story behind it. I was watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with a few friends, and perhaps because there were so many of us we started picking up on all the sexual innuendos of that movie. For instance, all the adults luring Harry off to secluded rooms, Harry talking about how his and Voldemort's "wands" "connected"... etc, etc. One of the friends in question had a birthday coming up, so I decided to make her a fanmix about how everyone at Hogwarts wants a piece of Harry.

Next thing you know, I find myself watching this hilarious Harry/Ron Goblet of Fire spoof trailer, reading this cracktastic Harry/Cedric picspam, and secretly shipping Harry/Draco. So, I came up with a rather ridiculous storyline...

SUMMARY: Harry starts out fourth year as a free agent, but then enters a deeply complicated and angsty relationship with Draco. After the two of them break up, Harry sets his sights on the assuredly gay Cedric—only to discover, to his horror, that Cedric has chosen Cho over him! Harry then spends the rest of the year trying to get Cedric’s attention, but meanwhile Dobby, Ron, Dumbledore, Viktor Krum, and just about everyone else at Hogwarts is conspiring to get into bed with the Boy Who Lived! It’s certainly a dangerous year, but not because of the Triwizard Tournament…



( Next thing you know, Dobby got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low )
Disclaimer: Obviously, this mix is not meant to make fun of gay people. No h8, plzkthx.

Some old Gareth Watkins and Matthew Fox icons I had lying around on my computer. Enjoy!

Anyhoo, I come bearing icons from the new ABC Family gymnastics series, "Make It Or Break It." If you're into gymnastics or cute guys, I'd check it out! =)

Also included are five userinfo banners.

This was originally a project for an English class. I figured I might as well post it, since I thought it came out pretty cool. =P Some of the songs have alternate lyrics for them, which basically means I rewrote some of them to fit The Odyssey better. =D

So, um... it's been almost a year since I updated this.

Basically, here's what's happening: I've kind of stopped making graphics, namely because my priorities lie with my writing and between school, sports, and a job, all of my free time goes to my fanfic. I don't think I'm going to close this community, but unless some miracle happens I'm probably not going to be posting graphics with anything remotely resembling frequently.

That said, I am using my current vacation time to upload some fanmixes I made for lanie__rose in September. I'm rather proud of these, if I do say so myself. =)

So, without further ado...

I actually made icons and banners of Lindsay Lohan...

I just spent about three hours moving all of my images from ImageShack to PhotoBucket. Wanna know why? ImageShack sucks. It kept randomly deleting my images, and the navigation features were absolutely horrible. I can't stand that website, and I hope I never see it again.

Unfortunately, this means that a lot of direct links were broken. I went through all of my posts and fixed them, but if you were one of the people who were hotlinking from my ImageShack account (which you shouldn't have been doing, unless I made you a custom layout), you got screwed over. Leave a comment here if you're missing an image and I'll do my best to find it, but with a piece of crap website like ImageShack, it might have been deleted from the Internet without my knowing it.

[/bitchy]

So, anyway, now I have lots of random headers to post. These include:

- Emilie de Ravin
- Evangeline Lilly
- Josh Holloway
- Norman Reedus
- Casino Royale
- Domino
- Miami Vice
- Tristan & Isolde
- LOST

So... this year in my Creative Writing class, we had a big project where we had to write a short story. I chose to branch off one of our in-class assignments, which was taking the horribly-written (no offense to you Bible-lovers out there) Cain and Abel and rewriting it from one of the brothers' points of view. I decided to take Cain and make him seem like the good guy, and voila! There was my story.

(And it's not exactly fanfiction, because I'm not exactly a fan of the Bible, but what else can you call it?)

Title: My Brother's Keeper
Rating: PG-13.
Notes: I actually did do some research on this, thank you very much. According to different versions of this story, the dispute between Cain and Abel actually was over Cain's twin sister; I basically combined a couple of the versions to create my own. Furthermore, the name Inanna is taken from the story "The Wooing of Inanna," which is believed to be the origin of Cain and Abel’s tale.

Two posts in one day, wow.

Anyway, today I have a bunch of headers for you, featuring:

- LOST
- Evangeline Lilly
- Michelle Rodriguez
- Daniel Dae Kim
- Matthew Fox
- Colin Farrell
- Alexander

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but my teachers have pretty much buried us in work and my priorities are with my story, so all of my time is getting sucked in that general direction.

Anyway, today I have a bunch of headers for you, mostly centered around oceans.

First of all, new layout!

hiril_alatariel
It features Eomer, Eowyn, and Theodred (I actually found a picture of him, isn't that so exciting?!), and yes, it does imply incest. *g* Isn't that prince hot?

Anyway, I also have a story I just wrote for my creative writing class. I'm thinking of submitting it to the very exclusive literary magazine at my school, so I was wondering if it's a) emo and/or b) good enough to get in. Let me know what you think!

Title: Senses, or Why Pudding Tastes Horrible In the Afternoon
Rating: PG-13.
Notes: This is supposed to be kind of vague. Me writing it around midnight probably doesn't help matters, either. =)

I randomly decided to make icons today, this time of some King Arthur press conference. I kind of lost all of my creativity to the brain-sucking monster that is school, so these are kind of bland and I was mainly trying out a couple of different coloring techniques.

New layout!

hiril_alatariel
Since I did this for the_lj_reboot, I'm supposed to write a little description of the design process.

( A bit of rambling )

Even though I'm not too pleased with this result, I would definitely recommend joining the_lj_reboot if you want some motivation to create a new layout, because in addition to setting a deadline for the reveal date it provides a lot of useful CSS tricks--even and especially if you're a beginner.

That's just about it for now... I have the next two days off, so I might be working on icons, but it depends on what else I have to do over the weekend. =)

Good day (or night) to ya'll!

(Yes, I did just say ya'll.)

I have some more icons (wow, I've been going on a journal updating spree lately), this time of The Nativity Story.

Howdy, ya'll. I've made a bunch of icons, most of them (well, all of them) revolving around makeup.
