I never ever write poetry, but this popped into my head as I was going to bed and Lark asked me to share. Written in like 20 minutes, which also never happens with me.

Yeah, so... I was really bored at work today, and my computer here has photoshop. Soooo... I whipped up a batch of Neil icons using those new photos that came out today as bases!

I'm not very good at making icons, so please be gentle with me. And make sure you credit me if you take any! =D

Total Icon Count: 9

Teasers:

TEASER! Icon 003 TEASER! Icon 005 TEASER! Icon 007

All 9 icons below the cut! )

Yes, another new one. I'm probably going to be testing some out for the next while, but for now this is the one I'm sticking with. The layout's kind of boring right now, but the best part by far is the BANNER!!!!!! Which I totally made myself, and which I totally did not make on my work computer in Photoshop while on company time. (Don't worry, it didn't take up THAT much time.) But it's awesome!!

Movie talk: mainly Angels and Demons! )

Going to sleep sometime soon, hopefully. Have to be up for work in 3.5 hours.

So... I don't know if you've noticed this, but I'm kind of addicted to How I Met Your Mother. "What?!" screams the invisible audience. "We had no idea! That's a shocking turn of events we're just finding out about right now!"

Oh shut up, voices in my head.

(You missed the schizophrenia, didn't you?)

The point is, I wrote a poem for creative writing class. Based on HIMYM. And it's awesome. So I'm going to post it on here and gaze at its awesomeness and forget all the other things I have to do today. Like, for instance, detox on HIMYM. I'd say that not watching any eps today is a step in the right direction, though, right? Right.

Background: This is set during season 3's "How I Met Everyone Else," which is an awesome episode. Specifically, I was trying to capture Barney's state of mind in the 16 no's scene: I did this by watching NPH VERY closely about 30 or 40 times in a row, and by trying to think like Barney. It was a sobering experience. And I think this is a tiny bit too angsty. But here 'tis...enjoy!

Oh, Barney. *sniff* He's awesome, but somehow his character also makes me very sad.

Cinema midterm was a surprising success. But now I have an annotated bib. to do. Bollocks.

Went to the gym yesterday and took one of their classes, and today I can't walk. I like complaining about things.

We had the WEIRDEST midterm in creative writing today... we were told to give ourselves a new name, draw a picture and give it a title, write an equation for love, and then ask our teacher any question we wanted. I was the last one in the class to finish. So I might have failed. At being creative, in creative writing class. Yeah.

2 days to fall break, and -1 day to my nervous breakdown!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that's right. I happen to rock the house at poem writing. I just spent the last week tweaking this one poem (based on - guess what?), and it's already awesome without any outside eyes! At least I think it is. Also, the one I was bitching about writing in the last entry kind of turned out awesome. I'd post it, but it's not good enough yet. Or, I'd at least like someone else to look at it before I do the posting thing. As for the one that's due tomorrow but's been written since Monday... I'm thinking that'll get posted somewhere else. You know. Yeah.

I'm really, really tired. I don't think I'll ever catch up on sleep. Though I'm going to try tonight. We'll see how that goes.

I have too much to do tomorrow. Start a mural, go to an LC syllabus meeting, host an area-wide cookout, AND go on duty?!? I just might die.

I eat too much. Any spare seconds I have tomorrow just might be spent at the gym. Or, you know, on Saturday. That might make more sense.

4 DAYS TO HIMYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And 7 to The Office. Slash, Grey's. I'm no longer excited by that show though. I'm probably going to miss it every week.)

But really, HIMYM is my fave thing right now. I even preordered season 3 on DVD! And it's kind of ridiculous how excited I am for the season premiere... as you can probably tell.

Um... that's it.

I spent like 4 hours making custom HIMYM emotion icons. Took FOREVER. I have a problem, with both How I Met Your Mother, AND LiveJournal.

Regardless, the pics do amuse me. So I'm just going to pick my favorite one as my emotion for today, and not bother with how I'm actually feeling. Which is tired, but the picture isn't good for that one.

And no, I'm not going to bother with a life update. That would imply I have one!
