My incoherent (but brilliant?) thoughts =)

1. I was hoping for a lazy do-nothing day today, but as with all my plans lately, I failed. It's okay though - I got sucked into all the Impala/Kawoosh! things I wanted to get done, so I'm on top of pretty much everything which is good - I need to really to keep up with everything as much as I can, and I'm doing pretty well I think =) Also - for any Kawooshers/Stargate vid watchers reading this, I hope you've checked out my last post - and go have your say about what challenge should be next - doesn't matter if you're entering or it's just a preference over what vids you'd like to see made - and pimp this poll please as it's only gonna be up for a week - thank you =) As for The Impala stuff, I've pretty much done all my vid-watching/feedback now, but if I've missed anything, feel free to poke me =)

2. spn_sceneit already has 59 (61 now since I finshed typing *lol*) members and that makes me very happy! Thank you - all of you - and a special huge thanks to the mods who are doing such a fantastic pimping job ;) We really hope this comm will fill a need that we feel is out there for Supernatural vidding resources, so if you've signed up, feel free to post and help out others with requests too =)

3. I now have a printed off copy of Midnight Sun and I'm really enjoying it. Really enjoying it. It's great reading Twilight from Edward's point of view, and I actually find a lot of his angst amusing =) I'm not even halfway yet - taking my time and enjoying what little there is of it. I'd love for SM to get over her hissy fit and write the whole damn thing - hell, I'd like her to write them all from Edward's point of view - but I can't see any of that happening any time soon, unfortunately. If at all.

4. I watched the first episode of Lost in Austen... and I liked it =)

5. I kinda lost my Photoshop addiction for a bit there, what with being stupidly busy a lot the last few weeks. Also - the hissy fits cos I don't know how to do certain things - like simple text stuff dammit - has taken the shine off my new hobby a little bit. I'm going to try and make some time this week to play a little more as I really do enjoy doing it - and I've decided that if I'm still throwing hissy fits and being a complete idiot by the time popcornleader comes to stay, then I'm going to have to beg her for an idiot's crash course ;)

6. I burnt my finger quite badly this week - I've never had a burn hurt that much. I ended up having to keep my hand in a glass of water for almost an hour, and still it was frickin killing me. Anyway, it was healing ridiculously well, quite surprised me actually. Until last night, when i shut it in the lounge door and took off not only the helaing skin but all the perfectly fine skin around it too. Impressive amount of bleeding *lol* and now it just looks like a mangled mess. Nuh. Need to remember not to shut my hand in doors. That would be a good plan. Cos, y'know, it's not like it's the first time.

7. This may be obvious to only me, but I'm throwing it out there anyway... With SGA finishing this season *pouts*... and David Tennant likely to be moving on from Doctor Who in the near future... and David Hewlett having said he has always wanted to be Doctor Who... anyone see where I'm going with this? Anyone else have that fantastic image in their head of DH as the next timelord? Anyone?? Let's start a campaign, dammit!

...

Okay, back to work I guess. *sighs* Just a little bit longer and then I'm curling up on the couch with Midnight Sun =)

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend =)

*hugs all*

Oh so do I - I'm not even halfway and I'm enjoying it even more than I thought I would - it's great to read it from Edwards point of view - refreshing really, and even though i know everything that's going to happen next, you sort of don't as you want to know how Edward saw things. Hopefully she'll get over herself and get the damn thing finished.

It was so, so stupid slamming it in the door - it was healing so well right up until that point. Now it just looks mangled and horrible and... eugh. *sighs* See, this is why I don't do any ironing at all - did some ironing as a favour for someone, burn myself nastily, then it's all downhill from there. Irons = evil.

Aw, no worries about the email. Actually... I wasn't expecting you to reply - did wonder if maybe you might be a little miffed that I'm being such an idiot at not understanding what you'd so carefully tried to explain for me =/ Much, much appreciated though, honestly =)

LMAO! No way! I was/am NOT miffed, lol. Tell me exactly what you don't understand. I know how you feel though- it took me awhile to get the hang of what I was doing and I honestly still have no clue.

I'm really glad - as you did obviously go to a lot of trouble to send that and I do really appreciate it =)

Well... I still don't use/understand properly brushes and textures and i have (I think) the loosest understanding of layers - but text... I really don't know why I find it so hard. There are a few ideas I have for just basic text icons, and I just get so frustrated as they all come out so awful that I end up giving up pretty quickly - which I'm afraid is a bad fault of mine.

I think part of it is because I don't know enough about which fonts to use/which would look best - they always seem to look blurry or just plain crappy when I do them - maybe I should send you a couple and you could see what I mean?

I sort of feel stupid though as I tend to think that doing plain text icons must be the easiest thing to do and yet I just can't seem to grasp it!

Thanks for your patience though, definitely much appreciated!

*hugs*
