New Years is coming around again so soon. Where did this year GO? Here's hoping the next year will be better than the last!

Oh, btw Tag! You’re it!

Ground rules: The 1st player of this starts with a topic of "5 weird habits of yourself" and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You've been tagged" in their journal and tell them to read yours.

(I know people are busy with the holidays so near, so if you would prefer NOT to do this, then I perfectly understand.)

It should still be out there somewhere. If you can find it, you're welcome to it. Jeez, fandom is a crazy thing!

[saitaina]

I've looked, it's down from everywhere except the first chapter on some sight I can't even remember now...like Nintendoland or something.

And I didn't mean that harshly, just general frustration. Sorry, I curse bad and tend to make things sound insulting when I don't mean them to.

*ashamed look*

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

That's all right, I didn't take it seriously. You could try IcyBrian's, there might be a version of it still there.

[saitaina]

*salutes* Will do.

And thanks for understanding. It's quite embaressing to have one of your favorite authors read something like that, that's not the image of a fan I would have wanted you to see.

By the way, Happy whatever you celebrate! Or happy Dec 25th if you're non religious! *grins*

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

No worries, I'm always joking around with my friends like that anyway (note the name of my lj f-list, BTW. ;D ) Anyway, that's what happens when you vanity search your name. ^_~

Thanks, and happy whatever to you, too! Your icon is very pretty.

[saitaina]

Thanks, I created it on speed when I realized I was posting things with a Halloween icon in December. (and I ended up liking the technique so much I made tons more like it and now can't find them). Yours are as well. I always try to take the approch of icons as little 100x100 (or so) mini artworks and yours remind me of that theory.

*laughs* I did that on google myself today...had an embaressing trip down memory lane. And it awnsered the question of how you found that one post when we've only spoken once and that was via Fanfiction.net the same night I posted the entry.

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

Why thanks! Actually, those are characters from the stories I'm working on now. If, during the Hero Series, you got up to the Raptor Crest parts, then you'll know Sahrek. But those were much more obscure stories, so maybe not. Anyway, I kept a handful fo the original characters over from those LOZ stories and changed their names to use them in the original stories. I liked them too much to let them go to waste. ^_^

Who is that in yoru icon?

[saitaina]

I vaugly remember Sahrek, it's been so long since I read them that I only have bits and pieces...like a favorite book you haven't read in ages and can only remember half the plot to.

Sadly none of my OC's have pictures that I can show off. Although I did just tell people to picture Antonio Bandaras for Rafel, my Spanish lord since I...blatently stole his looks (Antonio's a hottie, I couldn't resist).

That's Tsuzuki Asto (er, that's the Japanese version of his name), a character from the manga/anime series, Yami no Matsuei (Decendents of Darkness in the states).

Most of the icons I design are fandom based since that's where most of my requests come from. So long as I have a picture I can do one for almost anything though...just have to pimp my services out more.

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

Ha, I steal actors for characters all the time. Sahrek is shamelessly Jonathan Rhys Myers. ^_^

I've got fandom based icons, too. None of them are animated like yours though. That's neat.

[saitaina]

Thank you. I had to learn animating early on since that's what most people like. Snow is actually the easiest animation I know besides rain. I always found it amusing that the easiest animations I learned last while the hardest (mini movies) I learned first.
