New Icon: Space Paladin
So the other day, chisotahn referred to her Shepard from Mass Effect as a "space paladin". I thought that was completely perfect and deserved an icon, so here it is.
Unfortunately, I forgot how small 100x100 really is and put a lot more work into it than was probably necessary. >.> But there's a bigger copy archived on my dA. In any case, this was a lot ( Read more... ) -

snapshots of happiness
An important function of this journal is to record the ups and downs of my life over time, allowing me to analyze these data points and hopefully learn thereby.

An open letter
Dear terrorists,
Stop slacking off. With no rocket attacks in the last few months, the officers are focusing on base cleanliness (*snort*) and enforcing the 5 MPH speed limit in the LSA. The speedometer in some of these trucks does not even go that low. Send moar poorly-aimed rockets plz.

computersherpaP.S. We decided your country sucks. Give ( Read more... ) -
"Right, then. Let's be about it."
Over the past few months I've become completely bedazzled by David Weber's Honor Harrington series. Harrington is a starship captain in an age of naval-style space combat. She's a brilliant strategist with impeccable leadership skills, exemplary integrity, and a way of inspiring fanatical loyalty in her crew and stark terror in her enemies. She' ( Read more... )
