I don't even know half the people on my friends page right now, and that's pretty upsetting. I added back, to frankly put it, the people I wanted to add back. I'm SURE I probably missed some people, so i'm going to apologize now, but you probably have to let me know if I skipped you yourself. ;P

This isn't a random thing, i've been planning to do it for a while I just finally got my act together and did it!

If I added you, but you didn't want me to.. wow, well that's akward, but it's cool! Just tell me! :)

Also, i'm sorry about this- I know it's frustrating :/ Thank you guys for being made of awesome.

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 03:11:10 GMT

HEY. :)

I have alot of pictures and things to tell you all, but i'm rather exhausted from last night (districts for swimming! Girls won again! Ahhh it was an amazing meet, i'll update later with details.) and shopping today with Ann!

Of course we had a little Shauna/Ann photoshoot as we always do. I'm only showing you like 15% of all the pictures, haha.

:)

And a random picture from New Years! This was a fun night.

YES I do realize that my shirt is see-through. kthnx.

The mall was pretty dull today. I got 9 shirts and a pair of pants. I blame it on boobs (sorry guys on my flist) they just keep getting bigger forcing me to get new clothes *ahem*. ;) ~~or at least that's my excuse~~. It bugs me so much when there are little 9 year olds buying like $300 worth of clothes standing in line with their little Coach purses. Dude when I was 9 I just wore whatever was in the closet. And I played dress up with my moms old purses! HAH.

For those of you that haven't heard the new Snow Patrol CD.. wow, you really need to hop on that because it's AMAZING. Honestly, every song is brilliant. "Make This Go On Forever" uhh VERY heart-meltable song! :) Just thought I'd add that in!

For those of you that requested an icon, there over here!

Later guys.

I realized, when I look in my info and see all my friends, I only know MAYBE a little over half your names. Granted, i've just met some of you, but still -- I hate that feeling. Here is my email/aim screename/msn-- the works. I have this issue where I'm scared to message you guys, because I don't want you to think i'm crazy or clingy or whatnot, but just know I really do love to talk and listen :)

Icons, Headers/Banners, Wallpaper

Fri, 30 Jun 2006 22:03:33 GMT

HARRY POTTER SHIPS ATTACK!

-2 headers ; 1 H/Hr, 1 R/Hr (Four versions lol.)
-1 H/Hr wallpaper with some pretty... let's just say 'rough' matching icons. (18 icons total)

*comment, credit, nominate........whatever :)

Teasers:

Small clip of R/Hr header:

The icons.. well, I was expirimenting on a large portion of them and URM.. I don't really like how they came out.. but then again someone else might like how they turned out! :) Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Yeah, so my H/Hr-ness has taken over again, but I had to add some R/Hr-ness in there too. :D

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.

HARRY/HERMIONE HEADER

EEE. *PINCHES* They're so little and cute.

RON/HERMIONE HEADER THINGS

I realize 2 and 4 are very similar... but they're not the same. :P

HARRY/HERMIONE WALLPAPER

^^WITHOUT TEXT

^^WITH TEXT :D Hardly a difference though. eeehhh, I'm picking about details. ~~which is why I have a problem with having like 12038203 versions of everything. I LIKE MY PROBLEM THOUGH :D~~
I originally planned on submitting this to 12months (but a slightly different version), BUT EH I'm not sure anymore.. so just enjoy it :)

So, I'm thinking about starting an icon journal with another person or two or something. I haven't really decided yet. ;) Just putting the thought out there.

I think I'll make some Alias or Lost icons next. And of course some HP in there. XD

ENJOY! And feel free to friend meeee for graphics updates.

The Pimp Post

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 03:16:06 GMT

ATTENTION!

I've prepared for you, people of the world a PIMP POST! Yes, that is correct.

Maybe 3 people or 30 people will read this! As long as it comes to some sort of use to one person, that's really all that matters. :)

What is it?
It's an ongoing list of today's hottest iconers here on LJ! I've already scouted out a few, but as I find new journals I will be adding them on. I've posted the names of the communities, the people who post in them AND examples, all for your pleasure!~~What has the summer done to me?!~~ I'll also give you my opinion, to tell you what to expect in their journals. ** I realize you all have probably heard of some of these, but there are people out there who haven't, so be kind plzkthnx.

Why on earth would you do this?!
Because these talented artists deserve it. They take their time to create things for you, not to metion they're amazing at it! I'm also trying to scout out the newer journals that are just starting out to give them a bit of a boost. :)

Now, I present...

twilightbadgirl and lovebit @ bystarlight_
Between the two of these talented girls, they cover alot of your favorite fandoms! They are both trendsetters, and always dish out new styles in their posts. Both have great coloring and cropping skills, and place their text in stylish ways. Along with their great icons, their updates frequently consist of headers, wallpapers, and the occasional mood theme too (some of my all time favorites).

aery, autofade, summerstorm, taxidoll, and brasaremean @ _sinelinea
These ladies have honestly, got it all. I believe the question is, what haven't they made icons of?, because I can't think of anything they've missed. Each of these makers have got their own styles working for them- they've got quite the variety over there! You can find beautiful coloring, stunning brushwork, and excellent cropping. I look foward to all of their posts.

no1_antielitist @ fizzy_lifting
Here, not only does she offer her lovely icons, but she makes GREAT layouts also. I really like her coloring techniques and her placement of text. It always turns out looking really nice :) Also, the way she combines black and white with color is a great style.

meivocis @ iconofilth
This lady has just got pure TALENT. She's so creative, and uses textures and brushes in such simple yet very creative ways that just WORK. I'm a huge fan of all of her work and enjoy all of her posts. Even if you don't follow the fandom in one of her icons, you'll take it just because it looks so good. She's an excellent inspiration, and posts very useful tutorials. :)

fierytigress, exeunt, thecolorbetween, and bananabear33 @ _boxofmemories
WONDERFUL icon journal, defintely a personal favorite. These ladies are overflowing with talent and creativity. You can expect vibrant, eye-popping colors from some of the makers, and subtle, yet a beautiful tinge from the others. Also, this community has got most fandoms covered! (If you're a Robert/Rupert fan...exeunt's got your back ;) )

xtatiq @ iqons (That's a Q not a G)
Absolutly STUNNING use of textures/brushes/text/coloring.. everything! Simply amazing work. I save icons from fandoms I don't even watch because they're just so creative and wonderful.

spiescameout @ dreamspaces
This is one of the newer makers out there, that I wish more people knew about! The icons are simple, yet so appealing- I just love them. The black and white icons here are my favorites, but the coloring is all phenominal.

paintmarks @ absenticons
WHOMEVER the maker is here, he or she has amazing coloring skills. Honestly, some of the best coloring, in my opinion, on LJ- and coloring isn't just something you can just DO. You've got figure it out, try about a billion different things until you finally find that one perfect match. WONDERFUL WORK.

whatdemydid
This journal is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite. She deserves for everyone to know about her- her work is just amazing. Excellent use of colors and text! I'm a sucker for all of her LOST icons :) Beautiful EVERYTHING there.

candygirl82 @ prettysocks_100
Excellent journal! This girl has got so many different styles it's amazing. She can pull off everything- bright colors, soft colors, dark colors- YOU NAME IT, she's done it.

crazy_jae and blindbeats @ twixted
I believe this is a fairly new community, but nevertheless, they offer great things! crazy_jae's stock icons are some of my favorite icons out there. Such stunning coloring effects... just lovely :)

damnicons
Again, GREAT stock icons. They're SO vibrant and eye-popping- I'm a huge fan. I love her sense of style and coloring, everything is really well put together.

norrell @ ___aliform
WORSHIP. HER. MOST creative icons I've ever seen. Her grunge icons are a HIT as well as her infamous HP speech bubble icons. So much to love there, I can't even describe.

pancakesoup @ photographis
MOST LIKELY, the best stock/art icons on LJ. Her coloring effects and cropping are brilliant! There is SO much to love over there, and I HIGHLY reccomend her.

eternalphoenix_
I really enjoy the stock icons this person's makes, but their other icons of fandoms are ALSO just excellent! You can expect to see more darker, yet very deep and rich colors in her icons that still make your eyes POP. A common style used is blue and pink light spots which creates a GREAT effect. Great work here :)

loleia @ loleiasbits

newkidfan @ blimey_icons
This journal not only offers great icons, but great resources also. WONDERFUL brushes and textures are freatured pretty frequently in all her updates. You can't put one style on all these icons- she uses to many, and is defintely a trendsetter. All of her icons are different and unique, there is just SO much to love there.

lovebashed @ orangeboots
I enjoy this journal because the maker uses tectures wonderfully! It's not too much, but just the right kind and right setting and right EVERYTHING to make it look PERFECT. Defintely a place to check out.

eye_knead_name @ eye_knead_icons
This journal is one of the more funnier and entertaining ones. She posts great text icons, lots of HP and just great icons.

calvincakes @ enginedriven
BEST CROPPER ON LJ, in my opinion. Also, defintely one of the best color-ers (lol) out there. She defintely has got a defined style- minimal text, blue, rich coloring and obviously, her amazing cropping. HIGHYL RECCOMENDED TO CHECK OUT.

iamalreadyinuse
I MUST say, this iconer has some of the most original icons out there! Each icon has GREAT use of textures, brushes and coloring. My personal favorite icons she makes, are those from LOST- so LOST fans, she's where you need to go!

ezikeilbpenguin and areisathena @ last5
These two are wonderful together! last5 is the place to go for LOADS of great Harry Potter icons, and tons of hilarious icons based on bad fan fics and parts in various HP movies (they're VERY amusing :P) Defintely a place to check out :)

turnyourankle @ neutralskin
The way turnyourankle incorporates textures into her icons is so unique, and works really well. Her icons are filled with lots of colors, and many various celebrities, QaF, Dead Like Me, Dr. Who and many other fandoms as well.

elli
Again, this is an iconer that knows how to use textures correctly and uniquely! Apart from her fabulous icons, her resources are some of the best out there! Her website 'Ex-posed' is an iconers heaven.

frostthepie and likegunfire @ lickourlegs
We've got another great duo here! My favorite thing about their icons as a whole are the wonderful vibrant colors and coloring, as well as the cropping :)

bliccy
DESPITE the fact that she makes beautiful icons of varied fandoms, her soudtracks are also a GREAT reason to go check her out. The art for the soundtrack 'cover' is always phoenomenal. :)

That's it! ~~for now...~~

FEEL FREE TO MEMORY-IFY THIS POST- I'LL KEEP UPDATING IT CONSTANTLY WITH NEW JOURNALS.

If you were mentioned in this post and want me to take you off, edit or change something, PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE let me know. I'm just trying to help out :)

COMMENTS? SUGGESTIONS(to be considered)? LET ME KNOW. ALSO, did this post help you.. or just a waste of your FLIST space?

I apologize for any typos. I'm not the best typer the world has seen.

PRETTY ICON *SAVE*
OK. So it's fine with ME if you want to save the icons you see here, but I don't want to get in trouble with their makers- so I'm going to say go to their journals, read the rules, etc. if you want to save the icons.

And, PLEASE! Pimp The Pimp Post! If this is even going to do any good, people need to know about it!

Enjoy :)
Shauna colordrop

EDIT: I appreciate all the suggestions you guys have been given me, but just understand I probably won't put all of them up there. I mean this takes up alot of my time.. and ehhh. I WILL DO MY BEST THOUGH :D

Two Graphics

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 02:04:01 GMT

2 Graphics!
-1 H/Hr .. thing-e ( 1 variation, so I guess 3 graphics)
-1 R/Hr .. thing-e

What is a 'thing-e' you ask? I wish I could tell you myself. They're strange sizes for a wallpaper, yet they're also akward sizes for a header. SHEESH.

So WHY would you make something that doesn't really serve any purpose whatsoever? Let me ask you this.. Have you ever expirienced boredom? yeah. It hurts.

ERM so all in all... you can use these for anything your little pumping heart desires. I give you all permission to resize them to fit your needs, just credit me! :)

Ok so I'll stop rambling. XP

VARIATION;

*In the Harry Hermione one, the initials read "H" and "G" because I like it that way :)
*In Ron Hermione one lyrics are a mixture of different Dashboard Confessional songs

comment, credit, whatever.

OH and FEEL FREE to friend this journal for graphic updates! No need to ask.

Sun, 04 Jun 2006 11:58:38 GMT

-17 HP PoA Icons.
-credit..comment.. whatever.

Erm same drill again. I'm in an uncreative slump right now, so I just made like 5 icons or something & then variations. I'll try and come up with a normal icon post sometime soon!

SCHOOL'S ALMOST OUT! :D

WALLPAPER;

1024x768
800x600

Yeah, I'm still not sure I like it, BUT whatever :)

teasers:

Harry Potter

I realize that four and six are basically the same.. if you look closely they're not. eehh. AND, I'd just like to say that despite my R/Hr loveness, the cap used in 7,8 & 9 has GOT to be one of the best caps in the movie! But don't worry, I added in some R/Hr just to balance it out! What do you guys want to see next? Any certain styles? Fandoms? (Narnia, LOST, HP, ?) Just let me know. ;)
