Twirling twirling, twirly twirl.

I have glee today. I am happy happy going-on-a-date and feeling rather pretty, plus I have reason to laugh, even if it's at myself.

I've described it in full technicolor detail in troyswann's journal comments.

Plus, happiness loves company (why should misery have all the fun, anyway?).

I also wrote a bitty snippet of Mal/Jayne for ana_grrl, because she had the brilliant idea of making icon inspiration fics official, and wrote me a lovely Teal'c/Cameron snippet. Go here to see what she wrote for me and others, and what we've written her back.

And, in a lazy, I'm-preoccupied-with-rl-today sort of way, I direct all fanfic seeking people to cofax7's recs today. I don't want anyone to be bereft.

And, I'm going to do an icon loves/icon wishes list here, because I have no. skillz. with the icons, but I do so like the pretty of them.

Icon love:

to or_mabinogi, for my OT4 icon and my wondertwins icon, which were both made on inadvertant request, and surprised the heck out of me both times. *loves* He's also contributed substantially to my icon collection with Cameron/Daniel icons, the inset icons, and the 'voyeur' icon (which I love in a very sneaky way) among others. Teh skillz, people, teh skillz.


amnellwyvern made me a McShep icon in monotone, manipped to get the boys a little closer together, also on request, and it's beautiful. Those boys might just convince me to love Atlantis.
*loves*

sdraevn shared dancing icons, and they are wonderful and lovely and they have been used more than any other non-fannish icon I have. I'm not even trying to deny that this is due to my current state of infatuation with my dancing partner. What would be the point?
*loves*

paian made me a word request icon (heal thyself), when I was so sad. She picked Teal'c for the image, from the Changeling, and it reminds and represents how lovely all of you were, with your stories and images and the flying colors you flew while cheering me up.
*loves flist* *cuddles paian and Teal'c*

Also, icon love to people who are skilled and lovely and share their icons with the lj community at large, asking only for credit in return: everlyn, artifuss, jr_moon, psychofilly, caersmane, brandinsbabe, pax89, skater_g8r, seewhoiam and thefakeheadline have made such beautiful icons and I must thank them and credit them for each helping me max out my allotted 100 icons in a significant way. Thank you for sharing, people who probably don't really know me from Eve. *loves*

That said, here is my icon wish list, including sentiments I have looked for but can't find:

1. Image request: OMGtheTableScene! icon. I realize Serenity is hard to screen cap while still in theaters and not out on DVD yet, but I yearn for a Mal/Simon Table Scene icon. The Taaaaaaaable Scene........

2. A Therapeautic Slap Upside the Head, icon. It's like a wtf? icon, but more proactive.

3. Teal'c/Cameron OTP. Doesn't have to say OTP. The world just needs more Teal'c/Cameron icons.

4. A word request: 'No mistake' or 'It's not a mistake'. I just like the idea of a 'first time' icon (possibly in conjunction with wish#3, possibly not). No, I can't really explain it. I have no skillz with the icon making, we've discussed this.

5. Sentiment icons. One's I've looked for lately or wished I had: 'Bitch, please' (I did find one that I think I like), In Love, *boggle*, *is hurt* (H/C), How is *that* logical? or What has *that* got to do with it?.

No, I'm not firm on the wording, fandom, or ideas behind of any of these. I will not claim exclusive rights, I will not be upset if I never have them. I will squee and bounce and generally be gleeful if Santa brings me any of them this year.

Finally, I would just like to say that RL, she has been melodramatic. You all, you have been wonderful to have and be around during all of that. You have made it better and prettier and warm and happy. Thank you. *shares the happy*

Well, you didn't ask for options, but I'm giving them to you.

Plain:


"Make no Mistake":


"My OTP can Whoop your OTP":


Going to work on item #5 later tonight I think. I can't resist a graphic art challenge. *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*gasp!*

Gracious, options? *boggle*

You are QUICK! You are speedy! You are WITTY and OMG I LOVE the 'my OTP can whoop your OTP'!

Mabi, oh my goodness. *loves loves loves*

Thank yoooooooou.

[or-mabinogi.livejournal.com]

Just a few more for now.



Now I am off to watch the new SGA. *g*

Hee! LOL! *glee*

*glee* *glee* *glee*

Icon love *g*

[tealc-junky.livejournal.com]

Oh dear.... Just had to say that, though I'm not an OTPer of any stripe or even really a slasher in the SG-1 fandom, I LOVE that last icon. OMG!

*squee*

How perfect is that? "My OTP can Whoop your OTP"

*wanders off giggling*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

pretty icons. i hope that RL becomes cooperative and much less acky. *hugs*

and have a wonderful tuesday night dancing. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Oh, me too. I've had it with the melodrama, and there are really beautiful things happening. It's funny how sometimes the little things save you and sometimes they break you, isn't it? Lately, they are saving me, but I would prefer to enjoy them, without needing the rescue. *hugs back*

Yes, Tuesday night dating. But if you work all weekend....

I hope it's lovely. On Sunday, I was told I am one in a million. And he's serious! He says stuff like this all the time and he makes me believe him... it boggles the mind, this falling stuff.

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

yes indeed to the little things, they can go either way. have fun falling, and dancing. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Both were rather fantastic.

Sexiest dance ever. EVER. *twirls*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

wonderful! glad it went well. :)

[violetvision78.livejournal.com]

Hi, sorry the RL is getting to you. One thing I had to remember. I have been in some rocky relationships before. I have had to defend myself and so I watched the new relationships for signs of trouble. I may have judged or withheld myself because of that. It was hard to let that go and not try to find the villain in my man who is now my hubby.

Don't let things of the past dictate or destroy hopes of the future...

Just a few ramblings from the heart.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Well, it's been melodramatic, to say the least. The relationship part, though? That is the beautiful bit. When I love, I love hard. I'm either in it or I'm not, and for a long time, I think on the order of years, I was single after the last 'ship sank. But apparently I'm ready now, because I am so, so pleased with this man.

And grinning like a loon. Right, um, as you were, pay no attention to the loony grinning person in the corner.

*G*

[violetvision78.livejournal.com]

Like a loon HU? Good! It is wonderful to get lost in la la land now and then!

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Pretties...

Glad you're feeling the love today!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Thank yoooooous.

I think I might stay high off yesterday for the remainder of the week at this point. *g*

[rydra_wong]

The world just needs more Teal'c/Cameron icons.

It so does.

I am not skilled with the making of the icons, but I love this shot:



And RL is bad and should not be allowed, except when it brings happy happy glee.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Oooooooh, yes, like the profile shot very much. Mmmmm.

*glee*

btw, Argentine Tango? Sexiest dance EVER.

[tealc-junky.livejournal.com]

Yay for happiness! ...and pretty icon love!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

The icons are sumpfin, aren't they? pretty pretty.

And, am sorta bored at work today, but otherwise the happy continues...

[tealc-junky.livejournal.com]

Well, gotta say that (as far as I can remember) sorta bored at work is actually a pretty good day. Of course, I pretty much despised every job I ever had - not to mention that the last one was...13 years ago - so I'm not really a good barometer on such things. :)
