Oh, life
NO NO NO NO.
Not more S8 angst! NO MORE! No more tone-deaf comments from "professionals"! No more patronizing comments about how anyone who isn't happy with the direction the comics are going are just shippers or just ignorant or just stupid or ANYTHING LIKE THAT. NO. DO. NOT. WANT.
Someone! Quickly distract me from this nonsense! There's a new Community on tonight, isn't there? YAY!
In happier news, I now have like a gazillion userpics! So! If anyone wants to link me to your favorite icon posts (all the usual suspects as far as fandoms go), I’d love to do some perusing. I realized I have exactly two icons with just-Spike in them; I think I need a few more. I’m also looking for some good Community ones, maybe some X-Files stuff, Farscape probably, maybe SMG, Jessica and/or Hoyt or Jason from True Blood, and some from awesome movies. Maybe some with Daniel Bruhl’s or Enver Gjokaj’s or Chiwetel Ejiofor’s faces (as they are all my future husband. Don’t argue). Just a thought. Take a look at my icons so you can see what kind of styles I like.
I am an icon snob.
OH AND I NEED AMY POND ICONS STAT. I’m having not a lot of luck finding them; the coloring most people use makes her hair look not-as-awesome as it is on the show. And I am basically ALL ABOUT HER HAIR. She may have surpassed shampoo!commercial!S5!Buffy hair for hair-that-I-love-and-covet. And also Gina Torres. That woman has awesome hair.
And in case you missed it, I’m (sort of) on tumblr now. I haven’t really done anything on there; I need to get on that. But you should be friends with me there ‘cuz I’m gonna put up pretty pictures and good music and quotes and such! Once I master it.
Gah, I am so behind on life. I have a thousand things people want me to edit/look over, so many obligations that I made. And I go home at night and just can’t make myself do them. I think I am incapable of accomplishing anything outside of an academic environment. In school, I was motivated. Now, I have zero will power.
I fail at life.
But: icons! And Community!

I think I'm going to be frivolously spending my laundry money on getting more icons, and will only tell my mother about this expenditure at a later date when she can't do anything about it. The last time I did it was when I frivolously spent money designated for "school books" on seasons 1 and 2 of How I Met Your Mother, and only told her when she was already laughing at the pilot with me.

Scott Allie has done one good thing! Like the Emily Dickinson poem—he has not lived in vain!
Hahaha! That’s awesome! I really debated about whether or not to spend money on the icons. There’s this part of me (that sounds like my mama) that keeps asking, “Is this a wise use of your money, Lauren?” We’re very thrifty people. But then I thought about how much genuine (if frivolous) joy my icons bring me, and I thought it was worth the money. :D
I loooove your story about HIMYM.

Hahaha, I have that voice, too! Seriously, I was right there on the purchase page, all set to buy another icon package... and then that little voice started up. Of course, my mother is always teasing me about my "frivolous" spending (she says it sarcastically; I'm the most frugal person my age she knows), so it sounded more like my dad, in that disapproving tone he uses when he reminds me how much more money I'd be making if I'd stuck with chemistry.
*sigh* Maybe once I pay for summer session and buy all my books, I will feel better about it.
