Consider This by Anna Nalick |

First, I have changed the layout of this journal to something more simple, but much prettier. At least, in my opinion.
Second, I haven't yet uploaded all the old stuff, and I'm not sure when I will.
As far as layouts (because someone asked if I was doing any more) I am more than willing to take requests if people understand that I will fill them on my own time. Just tell me how you want it set up (either a header like this current layout, a full layout like the previous one, or if you have a paid journal, I can do something like my layout over at alice_to_qs_8th), the subject, and either some quotes or a song for any written parts.
Okay, now for the icons.
10 Rachel McAdams, 9 Cillian Murphy, 3 Red Eye.
Same old rules: ♥ Comment ♥ Credit ♥ No Hotlinking
Red Eye and Cillian Murphy (Two of the same, different coloring) Preview:
 ( I've come to terms with all my insecurities... )
Rachel McAdams Preview:

( ...And purity's no friend of mine. )
I've been feeling a bit more creative now that I'm back in school, so hopefully updates will be more frequent. Again, don't be afraid to request (you can try requesting icons too, but I've been really bad about that before). Just know that I may take forever to fill it.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but most of the icons, as well as the layout, of this journal have disappeared within the last few days. This is because the free site I had been hosting my images on decided, suddenly and without reason, to lock my account. I haven't the slightest clue why, and they've given me absolutely no explanation.
This is the email they sent me:
Subject: Your Lycos Tripod account has been closed.
Dear C***** M***,
Your Tripod account (http://members.lycos.co.uk/theaveragegirl) has been closed. Your Tripod website is no longer available on the Internet.
Regards,
The Lycos Tripod Team.
WTF? *sighs*
So over the course of however long it takes my lazy bum, I will be trying to set up all my icons on Photobucket. It's a little less reliable, bandwidth-wise, but it's the only option I have, really.
Sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone.

I finally get off my butt to update.
And actually, today's update is kinda weird. Nothing really popular. Just some wordless and a bunch of Miffy, plus 3 holiday and 4 random. I would be surprised if many of these actually appealed to people.
Oh, also, my current layout. Garden State. It's pretty. Really pretty.
Keep on doing what your doing... ♥ Comment ♥ Credit ♥ No Hotlinking
Preview: ( 19 Miffy icons )
For this set, I took from my interests, but if you like the rainbow-y effect and want it on a different base/subject, I'd be willing to make up to 3 per person. Just give me 3 pictures/subjects. Preview: ( 13 rainbow-y wordless icons )
Preview: ( Birthday, St. Patty, and V-day )
Preview: ( Hannibal King from Blade 3, Elliot Smith, The Real Wonka, and Skull Panda )
And the layout:

Enjoy!

Deathbed Love Letters by Kevin Hearn and Thinbuckle |

Something different! I've finally stopped procrastinating, and put together my mood themes and layouts in zip files.
Unfortunately, for now, the zips are hosted by Geocities, which is neither reliable nor generous with their bandwidth. If it's down, please try again later.
The layouts are non-paid friendly. Mood themes, of course, need paid journal. All come with (hopefully) clear directions. Constructive criticism on that front (and any other) is welcomed.
As always, ♥ Comment ♥ Credit (in your userinfo) ♥ Don't Direct Link
( Layouts: Garden State, Eternal Sunshine, Boondock Saints, and the Beatles )
( Mood Themes: Eternal Sunshine, Exploding Dog, Mac Hall, Words, LotR, and Potter Puppet Pals )
I started on an A-Z of Donnie Darko icons ages ago, and still have yet to finish. Hopefully I will soon, so keep an eye out.

I'm finally updating, having finished the icons I was working on, and with all contests I'd entered finished. I finally won something! Got second at lordharrypirate for my Pirates of the Caribbean icon. Anyway, this is a mix of some random icons.
Same old, same old: ♥ Comment ♥ Credit ♥ Don't Direct Link
Sample:

( 5 Eternal Sunshine icons, mostly Clem, am so proud of these. )
Sample:

( 5 word icons. Saw something like this using HP quotes. One Saved! quote and 4 lyrics. )
Sample:

( 5 Harry Potter. Two actor, one H/Hr, one (rather sucky) Sirius, and one Weasley. )
Sample:
( 5 other. 2 Pirates (the first one won), 2 LotR, 1 Beatles. )
Also, I've decided it's not worth it to have my journal friends only. Likewise, it's not worth it to care if people don't credit me. I love credit, I love that people will find me through my work, but I think it's stupid to expect EVERYONE to credit. Those with honour, do. If you don't, then you don't.
That's all for now. Sorry for the terribly long break between posts. For any who haven't seen, I made a new layout. It's Orli-liscious.

Wounded by Third Eye Blind |

I owe you people an update, and I swear it's coming some time soon after Monday, but the best icon I think I've ever made is entered in a contest right now, and while it's probably not going to win anything, we're still not allowed to post them anywhere else until the contest is over. Therefore, I will update with 20 varied icons on Monday or shortly after. I would promise Monday, but we can see I suck at following up on promises, and also that's my first day of college, so I might be too tired/distracted/etc. to update then. Next weekend at the VERY latest.
To anyone who wonders about icons I said I was going to try to do: Uhm, okay, I suck. I should never promise anything. See, I run purely on inspiration. I can't force myself to icon, cause then I downright suck. I wish I could say they were on the way, but I'd really just be lying then. So sorry to anyone who was hoping for something from me.
I'm still here. Icons coming shortly.

Mr. Blue Sky by E.L.O. |

More random. It's all about whatever comes to me. There's some stuff in this one that I'm particularily proud of.
♥ Comment ♥ Credit ♥ Don't Direct Link
4 Harry Potter hand drawn Hogwarts house icons. Way proud of these, so you'd damn well better credit me.
Sample:
( Been Sorted? )
5 Eternal Sunshine icons, because that movie just clicked with me. If you're using one of the poster icons, you don't have to credit, cause it was just resizing and adding a border. You can if you want, but I'm not demanding. However, if you use either of the animated one, you still gotta credit.
Sample:
( The World Forgetting, By The World Forgot... )
1 Sinfest, 2 Garden State. I'm way way way looking forward to this movie, and not just cause I happen to think Zach Braff is H-O-T. The Sinfest one is the companion to the orange in the last post.
Sample:
( Beauty In The Breakdown )
And finally, customizable: I ran into an online comic called Sore Thumbs, and think the main character is very cute, so I colored her. Then I played with the colors, and now I want to open it up to requests.

Layouts I've done:
♥ This one. 3/8: ♥ alice_to_qs_8th 3/9: ♥ _dormouse_ 3/10: ♥ cassul 3/10: ♥ o_kitkat_o 3/10: ♥ sprintjcfreak 3/11: ♥ eddieandorlifly 3/11: ♥ wickedboldt 3/12: ♥ nevrendngstry
If anyone would like a layout similar to any of those abouve, reply to this entry with the following information.
Picture: Address for a specific one, or what you want a picture of. Color: If you want it monotone like these, what color do you want Words: If you don't have specific words in mind, tell me a band or at least whether you want happy, sad, or jaded lyrics. Border: If you want a border, tell me dashed, dotted, solid, or double, and what color it should be. Alignment of Journal: Do you want your journal text on the Left, Right, Center, or you can just leave it up to me. Screen Resolution: Almost forgot this. I need to know how big to make it. Anything Else: If you want anything else put on it, just let me know, and I'll do it if I can. E-mail address: I'll send you the code you need and a link to your background. You MUST upload the background onto your own server. I'll check, and if you're using my bandwidth, I'll delete the picture or replace it with something nasty. NOT KIDDING. If you need somewhere to host it, Photobucket is easy and free.
None of these layouts required paid journals, so it's not a problem if you're a free user.
All I ask in return is credit in your user info. I have linking graphics on my user info page if you want to use one of those, but just a lj link is fine too.
