LJ as advertisement space:

HP FANARTISTS
- Have you signed up for [info]hp_art_project or do you know a fellow artist who has?? Please direct yourself/them to THIS POST HERE which contains Very Important Information. Poor [info]ani_bester is going through crazy-times trying to get that organized - help a woman out!
-----------------------------

MOVIES
And to make this post legal (AHHAAH I legitimize posts on MY OWN JOURNAL WTF):
- Is it just me, or was WALL-E less a movie warning us and more a movie predicting our future? What I mean is, just walk into WallMart. I know it's horrible and disgusting, but just this once? Wall-E toys, towels, video games, lunch boxes, clothes, drink cups....junk. All of it junk. OH THE IRONY.

It's like Disney and Pixar are saying - 'HAY GUYS! IT'S GONNA HAPPEN ANYWAY CUZ YOU'RE ALL CONSUMERIST COWS AND WE WANT UR MONAY! SO HERE, TAKE MOAR TOYS MADE BY CHILD LABOUR!'

I mean, other than that (and the slight creepiness of Wall-E trying to get intimate with a comatose E.V.E.), I thought the movie was not bad. Very very prettily designed - especially just how well they captured the iPod look in E.V.E., without having to pay Steve Jobs....oh wait. Never mind. *snerk*

My favourite robot was Mo. Moe? Whatever.

Holy cannoli, fools:
AZKATRAZ
San Francisco, July 18-21 2009
Formal Programming handled by [info]nqdonne, [info]emmagrant01 and [info]flourish
THAT'S RIGHT. HPEF-SPONSORED, FAN-ORGANIZED, SLASH FRIENDLY CONVENTION.

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg. I know I said 'No more HP cons until 2010', but how was I to know there'd be on in my backyard?! JKSAHDFKJSHFSDKJFHSDKJHFD&IJFHDSJKf OMG I WANNA VOLUNTEER AND THEN GO. THERE. NEXT YEAR.

Looks like 2009 shaping out to be a year of geekery USA:
1) hopefully New Years in New York with my favouritest fangirl eva *fingers crossed!!!*
2) Azkatraz in San Fran
3) Comic Con '09 in San Diego - if I have enough $$$$$
4) hopefully November in New Orleans for the National War Museum with my BoB-BFF

*breathes*

I guess...I guess I should venture a peek at the rest of Comic Con 2008's schedule. Is it normal to be intimidated from excitement??
----------------------------

ANYWAY. As many people have already said - that HP Fanficcers vs Fanartists thing? It's gotten to the point that I don't really care who wins because we're all pretty damn smokin'.

I LOVE LOVE. YOU ARE ALL LOVE. <3 <3 <3

WHO'S HOTTER IN HP: Fanficcers vs Fanartists.

It's kinda joyful to see fanartists so represented in a fandom, guys. Population-wise, artists are second to ficcers in the Harry Potter fan-creators community. It's really no wonder I've been in this fandom for so long.

Anyway, GO REPRESENT TEH AWESOME. Fanficcers are giving us a run for our money, they are! (I'm somewhere on the second page, heee)

17th-Jun-2008 02:06 pm - Iron Man? Or Hulk?
****minor spoilers for both***

I FINALLY SAW IRON MAN )

Ironically, I saw THE INCREDIBLE HULK first )


But what I REALLY want is a goddamned Wonder Woman* movie. I'm getting a little weary of watching superhero flicks with The Girl in her pencil-skirt and heels staring earnestly and worriedly up at The Superhero as he performs amazing feat after amazing feat. How awesome would it be to see MJ, Pepper, Betty et al cheering for Wondy as she flies about and kicks supervillain bum, heeheheheheh.

*I couldn't even think of a singular Marvel superheroine who holds her own comicbook title. She-Hulk, maybe?

BAND OF BROTHERS WIKI
1) [info]bzzinglikeneon set up our Band of Brothers project; which is actually now a comprehensive wiki for the trifecta of Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan and the upcoming 2009 The Pacific.

PURE WIN. Especially to [info]sparrowette to started to help build the character pages, wheee.

If you'd like to contribute, that'd be AWESOME! Let me know! We're open to ideas. :D

COSPLAY
2) A friend asked if I was gonna cosplay at the San Diego Comic Con this summer and I was like ahahah noooo.

Then later on, my seeester was like "Oh I was gonna suggest you go as Katara."

O.o OMG CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THAT I WANT TO COSPLAY?!?! Or maybe I should just reserve that as my Halloween costume this year. But amidst a sea of sexy!nurses and sexy!devils and sexy!maids, a Waterbender might be a little too...geeky for October 31st. ;D
BoB - where do I go?
9th-Jun-2008 04:22 pm - THINGZ

I don't wanna start watching S3 because it'll only drive me crazy soooo....yeah. I don't know what to do with my love for ATLA now, lfkdjgkdsfkjrfkfdkjf.

SPN J2 BIG BANG
GOTT IN HIMMEL. I just got back [info]reallycorking's additions to our [info]spn_j2_bigbang fanart and it. I. I cannot wait to post this. Gorgeous fic by [info]concernedlily, fanart by RC and me. JUNE TENTH, Y'ALL. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE SUPERNATURAL. HELL, I HATE THE SHOW AND I'M STILL CRYING WITH EXCITEMENT OVER THIS IT IS SO WONDERFUL.

BAND OF BROTHERS
Also, my application went through at [info]jump_wings so if you know Band of Brothers, head on over there and STAMP MEH PLS. And then put in your application and I'll stamp you right back!

Really, I just love stamping. Stamps and chalk. And stickers. I really should be a teacher one day.

2) Iron Man tonight, FINALLYZORZ.

3) I BOUGHT SEASON TWO OF AVATAR, GUYS OMG YAY. :D :D I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO GRIN LIKE AANG. IT'S INFECTIOUS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM
6th-Jun-2008 06:02 am - As if I could resist this meme!
You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional, you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.


1. Lightsaber bo-staff thing. Check out the reach on this thing! And when I get tired, I can just slice my own head off. \o/

2. East Hastings by Godspeed! You Black Emperor, er, wait! No, I mean The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash. Because it's time for a reckoning.

3. I guess Titus Pullo isn't technically famous, so...I'll go with She-Ra. No explanation needed.

BAND OF BROTHERS
Yeeeee The BoB Chat Brigade (AHAHAHA ANITA :D) is re-upping the series starting next Tuesday. Details:

When: NEXT TUESDAY, JUNE 10,
Time: 6:30PST; 9:30 EST
Where: AIM chatroom: luz4lulz
Episode: Currahee!!
WTF: Past chat logs!

ROME
MAYBE I WAS CLEOPATRA IN MY PAST LIFE!!! )
---------------------------

MOVIES
- I lurved Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It's INDY. This guy was my childhood, yo. When I was 13 and delirious from fever on Christmas I named my pet bird after him. My sister and I memorized the lines to The Last Crusade (she was Indy and I was Henry; go fig wtf lol. She probably doesn't want any of you knowing this, but YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND MY INDY LOVE). We even bought the soundtrack. I think we're the only people in the world who love Temple of Doom and Willie - how can I not love a lady who sings Anything Goes in Chinese?

So I got exactly what I paid for (and perhaps a little more than my sister was expecting ahaha) and Armin Tamzarian Shia TheBeef was refreshingly calm and not his usual Spazzy McGee (that he assures us is Really Good Acting).

Oh my only gripe: The reason the monkey worked in Raiders of the Lost Ark was because it wasn't spawned from ILM. DAMN YOU MESSING EVERYTHING UP, GEORGE LUCAS. I WANT MY NON-CUTESIFIED STAR WARS EP 4-6 BACK.

- Oh Iron Man? Yeah, haven't seen it yet. But I will on Friday, I promise! In the meantime, if you love Mr RDJ (and/or Ben Stiller and/or Jack Black) then this is for you.
----------------------------------

OMG I just realized - I don't need to flock my journal anymore! But I'm too lazy to unlock it right noooowwwww blaaahhhhhh.....

ALSO I LOVE YOU [info]cathybites HEEEE. Not only did she show me how to un-customize my comments page, but she also gave me an evil rubber ducky User Profile gift. OUR LOVE RULES.

28th-May-2008 10:05 am - O HAY YAYE
As a testament to my WORK = LOL I found out about my sister's LJ post about fanart via [info]daily_snitch because I hadn't checked my flist in a couple days.

But regardless:

PIMP
how to comment on art when you're not an artist, by [info]bossymarmalade.
---Because we've talked about this soooo much and she is made of clever, well-written awesome.

PUSH YOUR PROPORTIONS, a rant/tutorial by [info]shoomlah.
-- This is amazing because god knows I am currently falling victim to lookalike-faces. Wheee!


LJ ELECTIONS
I mean, you guys all know by now. And I of course voted for the people I knew and trusted (I think you all would know which way I skewed).

VOTE

- pretend you're preparing for the upcoming American elections, even if you're not American. That might get you riled out of any apathy you've felt over the LJ election thingie.

ICON CONTEST
Just when I think I'm getting it all wrong, something comes along and says "Buddy, you ain't that bad." Case in point --

Leaky iContest - make an icon!
from my art!!!!!!!!!


Probably like a great many of other fanartists, I looooove seeing icons of my fanart. LOVE IT. Especially when I see someone's icon and I'm like "Oh, that art looks strangely familiar..." and then I'm like "WAITAMINUTE, THAT'S MY ART WTF IT LOOKS GOOD OMG", ahaha. I don't think my art lends itself very well to iconing. So, anyone who uses my art for the TLC contest will be up for a challenge! I just hope it'll be fun. O.o

COLLAB
Anyway, my point is YAY I'M COLLABORATING WITH [info]reallycorking ON SUPERNATURAL ART!! Eee, I am so so excited about this! It is gonna be so. Much. Fun.

MEME - A REMIX
Have any other fanartists done that Artist's Meme? I realized I really like answering it for other fanartists; it's neat to look through your body of art and figure out how to respond to the questions. :D So if you haven't done it, feel free to comment with the meme in my LJ (or give me a link to the meme in your LJ) and I'll totally answer it for you and your art!

Here's the code - just copy & paste. :D

AHAHA DON'T FILL IT OUT FOR ME! MAKE ME FILL IT OUT FOR YOU!!!! I WANT TO GIVE YOUR ART LOVE!!!!!!!!!!




ETA: heeee, Much MoreMusic is playing Mimi's concert. I love her crazy-ass so much.

My failboat on the weekend has rewarded me with being home sick for a couple days. the good and bad )

So my flist has been non-stop raving over Iron Man. I'm going to go see it this weekend, wheee! But I'm also now getting a little cautious because:

1) Everyone is loving it, so I don't want to go to the movie with SUPER-high expectations and then just get disappointed.
2) I really don't like Robert Downey Jr.
3) I really don't like Gwyneth Paltrow

I'm still looking forward to it! Everyone I love and trust loves it, after all! But cautiously. And if I don't care for it, I won't say anything, I promise. XD

----------------------------
MEME

And in honour of the peerpressure [info]cathybites put on me to draw it, I have the Draw Yourself as a Teenager Meme

But at least, at least my sister still loves me. \o/

I told BFF that it'll at least make me happy to know my friends had a good time. She did, so yay for that.

Anyone else? Comment with a high five! and make me smile? O pleas?

ETA: Okay, there were some good moments. Friday night was lovely. And I made a new friend! High five #1!

1st-May-2008 04:47 pm
BTW guys, thanks for all the lovely and fascinating fandom histories from you guys. That was a great and ridiculously interesting read. Y'all should read others accounts! Or post yours, if you haven't yet? We're all the same, but we're all so different and it's wonderful. \o/
---------------------------------------
PIMP - Two things:

1) OMG [info]itsbeenvery went all old skool fangirl and wrote out a friendslist lovememe. I don't know how she did it, but it's beautiful and makes me cry. I love her! If you're her friend, go check it out and give her love. Dammit, she's sweet as hard candy.

2) ZOMFG I am The Leaky Cauldron's Fanart Gallery Featured Artist!!! I know you're as wtf as I am, because like. *cries* But the TLC lovelies made the choice and now they can't back out, AHAHAHAH YAYYYY, I'M INSTALLED FOR A WHOLE MONTH.*

* Irony being that now I have some smut art to post on [info]glockart but I'll just wait for a while before posting it, LOL. Failboat, Glock. You're still on it.

----------------------------------------
MEME - nicked from [info]bzzinglikeneon. She provides the code cause she's awesome (see her meme response, if you don't believe me) like that. So go enjoy her answers and then do this meme! Wheee!

Another pictures meme )

25th-Apr-2008 04:42 pm - I know it's Friday, but...
Unlocked, please pimp!


Why are you in fandom?
Why I was thinking of this )

A brief history of my fandom life - for anyone who hasn't read/heard this 1,000 times over already )

Why I'm in fandom now )

So I ask again: Why are you in fandom?
Give my your history, your feelings on fandom(s) now, your own personal interaction. I want it all.

PS No, I don't assume that everyone who reads my LJ is in fandom, and I know many people have dropped out, moved on, etc. I'm curious about the people who've remained in fandom circles, in one way or another.

MEME

1. Pick a fictional character that you like
2. Draw him/her in what you wore today.

I want to do this meme all the time! When I have time, that is. And if I'm wearing nice clothes, LOL.

Anyway, nicked from [info]doven:

1. Pick a fictional character that you like
2. Draw him/her in what you wore today.

Bart Allen (aka Impulse/Kid Flash/Flash/RIP). Dressed like me. )

Now everyone must do this meme too because it RULES. And it's FUN. And FAST. YAY. LOOKIT MY NEW ICON. \o/

FEMINISM = 0
Oh man. It's all been said and better than I can, but It still saddens me to know that, despite the internet and the large swaths of female-dominated fandoms and forums and whatnot? There are still con-going fangirls who possess a severe lack of feminism. Why'd I think it would change?

--------------
CHARITY/ART
Anyway, to cheer yourself up, I suggest you help a friend out, get some art and donate to charity in the process.

[info]dramedy's Donate for Art Commission System, which I think is pretty darn nifty and kind and wonderful.

Help a lass out! And if you're going to Terminus, you'll be rewarded by her joyful presence. *hee* She was a treat at Prophecy, a full treat.

TEEVEE

So, I finally finished watching Deadwood )

And then, smooth as butter, we started up with Rome )

HOLY. GOD.
Harry/Draco; NSFW - extreme sexual situations, words, images. Also, you'll need Flash to watch.
- but people, it's worth watching it for the FANARTISTIC MERIT. That's right I just made up a word to describe this because oh my GOD. This is what I'm talking about. This is just. This. I can't even articulate how gorgeously drawn, edited and executed this is. Eeeeee, THIS IS WHY I LOVE HP FANDOM SO!! Fanartists always always push the envelope and think outside the box!

--------------------
MEME
ZOMG I got tagged by [info]anne_jumps!! Me! Tagged!

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

At work I've been listening at lot (like, a lot) to Iceberg Radio's #1 60's station. Golden Oldies are my musical comfort food. Here's Youtube versions of them, cause everyone loves youtube, rite.

- Hey Jude
by the Beatles. Classic. This version is from Across the Universe, because I love it as well, and everyone's already heard the original, lol. I HOPE. O.o

- Leaving on a Jet Plane
by Peter, Paul and Mary (cover). I, um. I love 2guy/1girl threesomes. Especially when they harmonize, heheh.

- Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In
by Fifth Dimension. AS SONGVIDDED TO FINAL FANTASY 9, AHAHAHA WTF LOLS SURE WHY NOT.

Sound of Silence
by Simon and Garfunkel. I wish I was deep enough to understand the lyrics, but damn I love the harmonies. Here's a political video that's kinda cheesy but kinda awesome.

In the Year 2525
by Zager & Evans. OMG SCIENCE FICTION HIPPIE MUSIC FTW. Also, I'll never forget the first time I heard this, when [info]xterm's hubby karaoke'd it and I was completely smitten. XD



I taaaaaaag [info]bossymarmalade, [info]chootoy, [info]cathybites, [info]bzzinglikeneon, [info]melisus, [info]sarahcascade and [info]ani_bester, WHEEEE!

Work )

So in brief:

1) IJ/Squeaky - poor boo. :( Of course, I am greedy and really hoping it goes up again soon because! [info]snarry_games!

2) SVA - here's some cheese. No, what I really hate is sitting here and watching a legal precedent being set on fan creations in the HP fandom. To know that the term 'fandom' is being batted around by American courts makes me shudder inside. Crimeny.

3) Yesterday night's BoB chat - [info]bakedfish, we missed youuu! And so did Roe! :(

4) Next week's BoB chat - [info]istbeenvery, you MUST ATTEND. O PLS. SPIERS AND LIPTON DISCOVER TRU WUV AND WE MUST ALL SEE IT TOGETHER. *makes grabby hands at you*

No BoB pics today, but here's a couple fun links:
- Chat Log for Crossroads. Posted by [info]bzzinglikeneon, cause she's lovely like that. It's a funny one, hehehe.

- Very very cool BoB photo gallery. Thanks for the link, [info]anne_jumps! Now I should get up the gumption to perhaps friend the creator of the site, a certain [info]shanghai_jim...? *nervously dances back and forth* I'm really bad at the friending game, especially when it's based completely off the sharing of a fandom and nothing else. O.o

AHAHAHA I WAS RICKROLLED BY MY KARAOKE MACHINE.

WORLD = 1; ME = FAILBOAT. ALL ABOARD.
--------------------

Here's some stuff to justify this post:

1) Living here initially seemed like it would be awesome. As I kept scrolling, I realized it would have turned me into a psychopath. \o/

2)Colour Palettes, via [info]circa77. I dare you not to have fun with this. Double downward dog dare.

3) I bought a second Wacom. DUDES IT WAS ONLY $250 WHICH INCLUDED TAX AND S&H. THAT'S CALLED AN INVESTMENT, RITE. It's a wee 4x6 Intuos3 that will be happily installed at work and at night it'll beat up all the Graphires in the office. And I'll bring my beloved 6x8 Intuos2 home and it'll never have to be a transient crackbaby again.

4) Did I mention that [info]hd_worldcup was going on right now? Oh, everyone who loves H/D already knows? Well then! I. You. Uh-- *runs away*

5) ETA AHAHAH Smallville is on and I think it's a rerun but did I hear it right? CHLOE WAS IN A REFRIDGERATOR??? AHAHAHAHAHAH, I HOPE SOMEONE CLEVER WROTE THAT STORY IN ALL ITS IRONIC GLORY.

Does anyone know where one can find good, fun Hufflepuff-related merchandise for sale online?
- it doesn't have to be WB-official (yay cottage industries!)
- preferably American-based online stores

[info]sarahcascade is looking to buy some Badgery goodness; and being the loyal and friendly Hufflepuff that I am, I thought I'd consult my Almighty Flist for advice. :D

EVERYFLAVOUR

Being that I've been vaguely zombiefied since this weekend, I was rather productive last night and finally updated my website after a year.

It's pretty much all the crap you've seen on [info]glockart, so don't worry visiting. UNLESS you want to see all the drawbles I've done from the drawble meme! That's right - I finally updated that too! Woohoo!

Not very 'woohoo' is that I have only drawn 176 drawbles in the past three years. I didn't even manage to crack 200. That's suckypants. I'm still in denial and think I may have lost some along the way...*enjoys deluding self*

FANART
I GOT INTERVIEWED!! By GALLERYCAST!!

And don't worry, it's not a dialogue about how awesome I am zomg; it's addressing the issue of fanart, fanartists and fandom. How we relate to fandom and how fandom relates to us.

And I didn't speak for everyone either, but I tried to give some guidelines to both new fanartists and fandomers in general, so. WHEE! Take a listen, do! Pass it along to friends! I'm the first interview after the discussion about the next HP movie.


If you do listen, please discuss with meeeeeeee. I'm very invested in the opinions of my fellow fanartists!

---- Interview here (mp3) - conducted by the delightfully knowledgable and hilarious [info]kimmyblair. She manages the Leaky Cauldron's Fanart Gallery.

If you'd rather not talk or listen to me, I can't blame you. My laugh borders on idiotic affectation. Coincidentally, there's another interesting discussion about Fanartists and fanart use going on. YAYE.

------------

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Because I can't have a post w/o some BoB crack. This time, in chat:

glockgal: Also, I had a dream the other night where somehow you and I were playing Medal of Honor cause it was 2-player AND we got to choose to play characters from BoB. UR IN MY DREAMS, ANITA. SHOULD I POST ABOUT IT ON LJ?
bzzinglikeneon: HAHAHAHA OMG
YES
glockgal: LOLOL and I'll be all YES I AM ADDICTED; NO INTERVENTION.
bzzinglikeneon: ADDICTED TO MY AWESOME

THE END.

EXCEPT NOT BECAUSE BoB ICONS FROM CURRAHEE = GOOD TIMEZ.
O YES IT DOES

(as per usual, I'm years late to this) )
Anyway, we figure we'll watch till the end of S3 and then stop. Because I hear that Josh/Donna happens in S4; and I'd rather watch Joss Whedon rape yo mamma than watch that nasty.

YES! This post does have BoB content! And yes, you guessed it -

MOSTEST HI-LARIOUS BAND OF BROTHERS ICONS EVAR because [info]bzzinglikeneon is crazy-awesome like that.
salute, kiss, BoB - slap
25th-Mar-2008 04:41 am - stuff! lotsa stuff!
CHARITY
-- This year is all about charity for me, and in a way, I suspect that's why this year has so far been an incredibly good one. Here is a very worthy cause: [info]bzzinglikeneon works at a non-profit agency for the developmentally disabled that's in need of help. Because the government has much more important things to pay for than, y'know, their citizens. Read more here.

Every little bit counts, oh yes it does!

WACOM?????
-- I'm terrified because the USB connection of my Wacom is getting...I dunno, worn down or something? So it's having trouble sometimes connecting and I have to jiggle it about, which probably makes it all worse. Wah.

Is...like. Is there some magical way that I can get the USB connector replaced? So that I don't have to, like, buy a whole new tablet? I'll be crushed if I had to give up my precious baby, I love it so. :(

Hey! Following the LJ hubbub, are we? Why not take a poll on tomorrow's planned LJ Strike HERE, yes?

And then have your say about moar LJ changes HERE. I can't go anwhere else since I've got permanency. But it'd be sad to see people I lurve and adore - solely because of LJ, I might add - leave my little fandom world...because of LJ. That's one circle of life that I don't like.

RACE AND POLITICS
This speech by Barack Obama had me in tears. Not just choked up, but out-and-out crying. Out loud. Is it possible that a politician actually thinks in the same manner and interests that I cherish? That a politician is interested in seeing the bigger picture without getting bogged down in partisan or religious sniping? Really? Really?? Really. Thanks to [info]karabou for the link.

Barack Obama's Speech on Race.

Please take the time to read it/listen to it, even if you aren't American. I'm sure all the Yanks on my flist already have, ehehe! and you know I'm thinking it, but I don't want to say it. I don't like jinxing things. :(
