1. I feel sort of disconnected right now. I'm not saying in a bad way or anything just... generally disconnected and it's not a feeling I particularly like. So - y'know - feel free to poke me out of it and not let me get too withdrawn. Or something.

2. Hopefully got quite a relaxed weekend coming up. Peter is with me but I think he's out clubbing and stuff with another brother this weekend, so I'll get a little peace =) Plus it's a Bank Holiday weekend which is always nice - would like to try harder at getting back into iconning as the last batch was hard to do and I'm not playing with PhotoShop as regularly as I was. Thought about doing some sort of prompt/requests post on paper_packages but am worried that if there's little or no response it'll only put me off even more! Maybe I will, maybe that'll help.

3. Still umming and aahing over merlin_sceneit. *sighs* Would it be a useful resource or a complete and utter fail? IDEK. I really do want to do it though, but for some reason I'm generally anxious about everything I do right now. Everything. Which is weird and unwelcome.

4. So a few flisters are talking about Glee. Should I watch it?

5. Okay. Plan for the weekend.

a) shake off this disconnected feeling somehow.
b) make shiny icons and get that happy iconning feeling back.
c) snuggle up with some Merlin fics when I get the flat to myself.
d) do a paper_packages post asking for prompts/ideas and stop being a wuss about it =)
e) chill out and stop being anxious for no reason!

Have a lovely weekend all ♥

1. *hugs and pokes* Hope you're okay ♥

2. Glad you've got a--hopefully--quiet weekend coming up :) DEFINITELY DO THE REQUESTS PLEASE!!! Especially if you offer Merlin requests and such--I KNOW there'll be a lot of interest as loads of people love your Merlin icons!

3. If you think there's a gap in the fandom for it, then do it! I'm absolutely sure people will use it, especially as the show gets bigger and there are more episodes!

4. I've been told I should watch that show, too. If you do decide to, let me know if it's any good :)

5. AWESOME PLAN! ♥

I am okay, not down or anything, just disconnected, and I can't think of a better word to describe it really.

I think it would do me good to do the requests thing - if people did actually respond to it then that'd really help kickstart me and improve/get back my confidence a little. If they don't, I'll just hide or something =)

I'm not sure about the gap in the fandom, which I think is also part of the reason I've stalled, though tbh the bigger reason is the anxiety - and knowing how I put everything into the stuff I do and I don't want to do that and it just be crap or whatever. I think it could potentially be hugely helpful. But... I prevaricate a lot, you know me =)

I'll let you know if I do get round to watching it, for sure.

*hugs lots*

I'll admit, I have been feeling that too, on and off. Maybe it's swine flu, IDK.

I'm sure that LOADS of people will request icons! I know I definitely will ^_^ Everyone always loves request posts <3

Re merlin_sceneit: GO FOR IT!!!

*heffa hugs!*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I shall dig deep and find my inner Chuck and be brave dammit - and do both the requests post and also set up merlin_sceneit - then run and hide if they fail =)

*hugs*

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

You shall not fail! *beats chest and does a pre-emptive victory chant*

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

I shall use this icon because Colin Morgan's grin is contagious. Feel the happy! ♥

As for the comm, I totally think you should do it. It's a big enough fandom and will only get bigger once Merlin starts airing in the States. Plus, you never know until you try, right?

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Any Colin icon is fine by me, they'll always make me smile =)

I do really, really want to do it, and have been talking about it for a ridiculous length of time. Think I just need to get past the anxiety stupidness and actually work on the damn thing - plus I should have plenty of time to do that this weekend - so maybe I will =)

Plan for the weekend sounds awesome - especially e)

If there's a few merlin vidders emerging then the merlin_sceneit sounds great. spn_sceneit (sorry feeling too lazy to link it *g*) is a wonderful success, so the merlin one could be too. But if not - there's really nothing lost .... it wouldn't be YOUR fault if that's what worries you....

*hugs* ya.
xx

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

e) would be awesome if I can pull it off - I'll definitely work on it =)

I need to just do it, don't I? this merlin comm. I've talked about it for so long, I should just... do it. Yeah, I know.

*hugs lots*

Aww *hugs* You know, and this is weird, I got the impression you were a little down or something from a few comments you've left. Hence the lol cat nudge today and I honestly hadn't seen this post. I'm just a big old psychic... :P

Cheer up! Be happy! Have *hugs*! *smish* :)

You know, and this is weird, I got the impression you were a little down or something from a few comments you've left.

Gosh, really? I'm sorry - I didn't realise that. And I'm not down either... disconnected is really the only word I can think of that sums up how I feel right now. And I think disconnected (as far as I'm concerned anyway) will lead to being down in my case, so needing to snap out of it now, really.

I'm cheered, honestly.

*heffa hugs*

*pokes* :)

Ummm yes, I suggest you do watch Glee. It may not be your thing (as in, I would understand why some people would think it's lame...some people just don't like musical theatre stuff, you know?), but I think it's worth a shot. If you're still unsure, I know there are preview videos of the pilot which are about 5 mins long and it gives you the general gist.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'll probably try and watch it this weekend then. Worth a try I guess =)

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

YOU SHALL CONNECT :P

**HUGS**

sounds like a good plan hon :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I hope so =)

Good plan indeed x

*hugs*

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

*hugs so tight* You and me, babe. I wish more than anything that I could sweep you up for marathon Merlin viewings, with ample stocks of tissues and chocolate. I hope snuggling up with fics helps you this weekend.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

ONG you've no idea how much I would absolutely love to spend a weekend with you doing exactly that! If you ever repeat your recent trip, please include a stay at Hotel Muppet on your itinerary okay - or just come to me and do nothing else =)

*hugs lots*

[aramley.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Enjoy your weekend, hon ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

You too, okay? ♥
