I'm so sick and tired of school. I can't handle much more homework/tests/meetings/whatever. The college I'm attending gets done on May 9, so I still have to struggled through another three weeks of classes, followed by (for me) 3 days of finals. I'm at the point where I feel like my brain is about to explode, and even though I know I have so much stuff to do, I just can't face it. I'm basically just going one day at a time, doing only what I have to do.

Hence, this latest icon post: It's me putting off doing work just a little longer.

If taking any of these icons, please credit either (or both) mandiesmk or penguinplease. Also, comments are dearly appreciated (especially in my recent foul mood). Thanks! :D

I know that I'm going to be bored out of my mind this summer, so why not join up on another LIMS?

Pimping rickman_lims. If you love Alan Rickman/iconing, check it out! :D

I've decided to take part in the latest round of icon-making over at keiralims, and I thought I'd pimp the community a little over here:

So if you love Keira/icon-making, definitely head on over there and join up! :D

I'd say that I'm way overdue for a posting a new batch of icons. A couple are from icontests from months ago. Enjoy them; as always, please follow the rules if you snag any of them:

- Please credit either (or both) mandiesmk or penguinplease.
- Comments are greatly appreciated! (although not necessarily required)
- If you like what you see, please friend the community.

( but today i'm fine without you )

And here are the requests, as promised! It was interesting for me, doing icons of things not exactly of my own choosing, but I had fun messing around with the different images. Hope everyone likes what they've got! If you're not completely satisfied with what you got, I may be willing to work with you, depending on what the issue is. Please remember, though, that I did this on my own time for you, so please be kind about it! :)

All icons are shareable; please give credit to mandiesmk or penguinplease when taking. Comments are greatly appreciated!

( the requested icons lay behind the cut )

I've been wanting to make some new icons of late, preferably of some different subjects, but I'm at a loss for what I actually want to use. So I've decided that I'm going to do requests for icons. If you'd like me to make you a few (at least 2, possibly more), reply to this post with the details that follow. I can't make any promises about how soon these will be done, as college is a stressful, busy time (although as of late I've been bored out of my mind), but I'll certainly do my best!

If you'd like to make a request(s):
- Choose 3-5 interests/fandoms/people/etc of which you'd like icons (I'll make icon(s) for at least 2 of them)
- If you have particular images in mind for the icons, please give me a link to it (this would be quite helpful, especially for fandoms I'm not very familiar with)

That's it! Please make some requests, people, and feel free to spread the word about this offer! I'm hoping to have some fun with these! :D

[EDIT] Make sure to check back to pick up your icons, as I likely won't have a chance to let you know personally that they're done. Friending the comm would be the best way to ensure that you get your icons!

( Newer Icontest Awards )

I figured that while I was moving over some of my icons, I'd do the same with my icontest awards as well. The icons I made for these are up for grabs, just like all my icons, although first you'll have to find them. ;) Some of these icons I didn't move over from mandiesmk, so if you can't find them here, that's where they are.

( On to the Awards )

And here's the third installment of my old icons postings. I just calculated that since my first icon post in October a little over a year ago, I have made and posted 1545 icons, not including the newer ones which I had already posted here at penguinplease. That seems like quite a lot! Considering that, I'm not sure it's such a good thing that I've only found 165 icons that I really, really like. I'll have to ponder that one a little bit.

In this post (remember to credit mandiesmk or penguinplease if taking any icons--comments are nice, too!):

[01-36] Remington Steele
[37-45] Scarecrow and Mrs. King

( Out with the Old, In With the New: Part 3 )

Here's the second part of the old icons posts. I thought I'd split them up to keep from having a couple hundred icons in one post. :) Seems I just like a few too many of my own icons. I think I'll have to tally them all up just to see how icon-crazy I've become!

If you snag any icons, please credit either mandiesmk or penguinplease. Thanks! :D

[01-10] Julianne Moore/Anthony Hopkins; Hannibal
[11-18] Indiana Jones
[19-35] Keira Knightley

[39-45] Pride and Prejudice (2005)

( Out with the Old, In with the New: Part 2 )

I've decided since moving my icons to penguinplease that I will not be moving over my older icon posts, mostly because the quality of the icons (at least in my eyes) is not the greatest. However, because I do have a certain amount of fondness for some of these icons, I'm going to post my favorites to this journal: both for my sake and for anyone who wants any of these older ones. At least for now, all of my old posts are going to remain over at mandiesmk, but this way the best of them will be easier to get to.

Just as they were when first posted, all icons are up for grabs; all I ask is that you credit mandiesmk and/or penguinplease when you use them.

Here's what you'll find in this batch:
[01-09] Brothers & Sisters
[10-10] Colin Firth
[11-14] Desperate Housewives
[15-24] Emma Watson
[25-30] Ghost Whisperer
[31-75] Grey's Anatomy

I have to say that I'm a pretty big fan of this batch of icons! Behind the cuts you'll find icons for the episode "Steele at It" (3x01), as well as the screen caps I made for them. If you take either or both, I just ask that you follow a couple of rules:

- Credit mandiesmk or penguinplease
- Leave a comment (please? feedback means a lot!)
- Friend/join penguinplease if you like what you see here :D

Well, this is certainly a new experience: two icon posts in less than a week! :D I'm done with college until mid-January as my semester just ended, so I have a feeling I may be doing a lot more of this in the near future. I'm also planning to put up some more Remington Steele caps, probably this evening, as well as making more to fill my days of boredom! ;) Enjoy the icons!
