Updating...

Am up-to-date on the FList. (Not so up to date on the workflow, though. *g*) I have a huge headache. Seriously, there are little gnomes pounding nails into my temples as we speak.

Anyway, guess what happened while I was away? The building my office is in got a bomb threat. Twice! They even ended up having a four hour lunch yesterday.

I mean, yeah, it isn't like I missed out on anything major, but... If I was working with another SN fan, I would have spent the afternoon cracking up with SN quotage. (Although, apparently, there were no dogs used in the search. *boggles* Of course, I'm a little more surprised by what anyone would have against the Housing Association. I'm guessing when builders get mad, bombs will follow.)

Sometimes, I love drabbles. Like [livejournal.com profile] laylee's little insight into a happy, slightly zany, pregnant Dana. *happy sigh*

Anyway, had discussions with Mum last night and we're probably moving down to Geelong. On the one side, there's more time spent commuting, and I can't stuff around after work checking LJ. On the other side, I've got more time on the train to sit down and write fic.

Due to the aforementioned headache, I haven't written Celli another bit of the accounting fic, even though I promised I would. (Dude, there are fics I promised to people *last* year that I still haven't finished. I'm... whimsical like that. *g*)

The bubbles that keep on going... *giggles* That's me!

I said I'd have a little something for you if you kept your promise of staying offline and studying. *g* I thought you'd like these caps, though I'm afraid I've not managed a good job with the text: I'm not good with large text.

Meant to say, if you prefer the blanks, or different text (in which case, just let me know), or don't want them at all, that's fine.

Oooh! Icons!

*squees*

I *love* "This is happening way too often." LOVE!!!

LOVE!!!!!

Okay, I'm backing away from the exclamation marks right now, but, dude, *love*. It's just so perfectly resigned, and Casey being just that touch of adorable, and okay, maybe I don't *need* it because of my Peppy Casey icon, but I adore it and am stealing it anyway.

(Love!)

I *love* "This is happening way too often."

The second I saw him sitting there like that, I had to cap it, and knew you'd love an icon of that moment. Not that I'm hoping you'll have days that will call for that icon, but just in case....

Plus I was proud that I got a show quote, and the one for that scene too, on the icon!

Dude, it rocks for so many reasons! And, yes, you're totally right. I *love* it.

It's just... perfectly Casey, perfect for those resigned, deep-sigh type of days, and yes! I have much love for it.

*huggles icon*

*hugs you for making it*

Oh, in my excitement about my new long-suffering Casey icon (*bounces for the hell of it*), I forgot to mention about the other two.

I really like the cropping/colors/effects of the image, but the text seems odd to me. I'm not a big fan of blank/untexted icons, though.

I want to spend a little while thinking about this. Would it be cool if I got back to you later about it? I'm thinking a one or two (or maybe three) word phrase would work better, but I'm not sure what it should be.

But, still, long-suffering Casey!

*hugs new icon*

I wasn't keen on that icon either. I picked text from the show because I was blank on anything else (not exactly unusual), so I just threw it in on the off chance, and because it has their legs! And their boxers.... *g*

But if you ever think of text that would make it work, just give me a shout.

[identity profile] out-there.livejournal.com 2004-06-09 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* Yeah, the pic is great (and, yes, boxers!) but... hmm... textwise, not so good.

I was thinking maybe "on display" or "always watched" (or "still watching"), maybe in big pretty, swirly writing (like my "Everyone" in this icon, maybe...?)

*stares at icons*

Hmmm...

Or maybe even "waiting"...

ETA: However, your "nice view" suggestion would be great! Just cheeky enough to be perfect for the boys.

As you liked the swirly writing, I gave that font (Scriptina) and another script font an outing. Any of these take your fancy?

I'm tempted between the first and the third.

I like the *colors*, so it'll have to be the first. Plus, there's the swirly N, wihch just looks neat. *g*

(Oh, and as an extra yay, it'll be an "N" icon. I'm slowly building a collection of icons that spreads itself across the alphabet! *g*)

How about 'nice view!'?
