Info Dump of Evil!!!

candylandHello, all! I am safely back on campus after a most enjoyable week at home. Ah, spring break. I am rested, and ready to tackle school once again! This will last for approximately ten minutes worth of classes, I promise ^^;; Long entry ahead, with pics cut for your f-lists.
First things first: mucho congrats to Bratty One, who went to a huge show choir competition in Chicago this past weekend. There were eighteen groups competing, and they were third after prelims, which had them securely in the finals. They brought home not only first runner-up, but the caption award for Best Male Sound. Not to mention that she's having an absolute BLAST. So congratulations, Little Sister! Big Sis is proud of you! And Big Sis (aka the strange person hugging you at that one competition) wants all the details about Wicked, okay?
Secondly, the plunnies continue to bite. Ideally, ficcage will follow. This is what happens when I get together with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
msbbt and we start analyzing characters. We were discussing the brotherly relationship between Heiji and Shinichi/Conan, and the question was posed as to how the dynamic there might change after Shinichi gets back to normal. Kat's response?
Shinichi: Hattori, I can reach the shelf by myself now. Put me down!
*shakes head* We were laughing hard enough over lunch that other people in the restaurant were looking at us. I think most were kinda chuckling at the fact that something had us that amused. A few looked annoyed. I ignored them.
Thirdly, Mommy is wonderful and bought me clothes this weekend! I officially love the store Deb, because they have clothes in me-people sizes ^^;; I got some cute shirts, and a denim jacket, something I've wanted since I was a kid. Of course, now I get one and it's shiny white =P Any bets on how long it'll take me to spill something on it?
Fourthly,magic_truth and I had a couple more AIM conversations over break, some slightly more odd than others. Expect post-age sometime in the future.
Fifthly, happy spring, everyone! Here's how we celebrated spring--with a blizzard!! Yup, yup, yup! That's how we celebrate the season in Iowa! But it worked out all right:writergurl came over, and suggested we build a snowman. Well, we started piling snow, and long story short...well, look at the pics.
The view from my front porch on Monday...
My sister's car, being buried ALIVE!!! *ahem*
*sings* Walkin' in a winter wonderland...
AND NOW, THE RESULTS OF CASSIE AND I PLAYING IN THE SNOW!!
Cassie suggested we make a snowman. I said okay. We wound up creating this five-foot-tall pillar of snow that didn't look like anything, really. So we decided to give it a head, then Cassie gave it arms, and we thought it looked like an old-fashioned librarian, so we went with it.
Cassie poses with our masterpiece. For the record, she sculpted the breasts--spent a fair amount of time on them, too. I teased her about groping the snow-boobs. For the record, Cass, they look lovely!
Yes, that is me. Cameras continue to prove that they hate me, but oh well ^^;; And I was sitting in the snow. It was kinda cold, and my jeans got wet =P
Side-view of our snow-school marm. Gives you a better appreciation for Cassie's well-sculpted snow-boobs, doesn't it? Oh yeah, did I mention that elementary schoolers and passing drivers gave us weird looks?
Random pic--we cleared out a six-foot circle of snow to make this little piece of art. It took us an hour. My mom's first words upon seeing it in our front yard were, "Cassie must have been here. You're not that artistic." Love!
Lastly, Kat has blessed me with Photoshop! So I started playing with making icons. There's nothing really spectacular yet--I'm still figuring out how the program works and what everything on it does--but I figured I would toss my attempts thus far up here.
My two favorites...
Played with the font forever, and rather like how it came out.
I pulled up the pic and said it screamed icon. We tossed a couple of captions back and forth before Kat came up with the E-bay line, so this is with love from both of us.
Thus ends my rant. Ciao for now, all! Much love!

Date: 2006-03-27 05:54 am (UTC)BTW, Cassie said that Giovanni (the bartender in her cleavage) has gone on vacation. When I asked where he was, she replied, "You don't want to know." In other news, I laughed a lot.

Date: 2006-03-27 05:57 am (UTC)Iowa...in reality, it doesn't usually snow this late in the season. But we make do by going and playing in it, or in my sister's case, enjoying our day off from school because of weather ^_^

That's so awesome to have snow days... xD Oooh, did I mention that I <3 your snow person? xDDD

Date: 2006-03-28 07:22 am (UTC)I've got an idea for an icon for the challenge. Let's see if I can actually get it to look the way I want it to =P Still got a couple of days to play with it, so hopefully I'll have an entry this week ^_^
I read some of my old fics and cringe. I think it's natural.

Date: 2006-03-27 08:35 pm (UTC)'Tis true, this has been a long winter. And yet there was no snow on Christmas here. This breaks my poor, tar-blackened little heart in twain ;_;

Date: 2006-03-27 08:37 pm (UTC)I'm gonna try and get the Photoshop stuff on a disc so we can have it on our home computer, too. Though I think I need to get that number from Kat, still. Or you could probably just ask Kat if you could borrow it, too ^_^
