Small Icon post and just a little RL
Ok, here's a couple icons. No teasers, but these are some of my personal best so far (still nothing great, and there's a couple I cringe at). The icons are of HP, Coldplay, The Ring, Johnny Depp, and some random ones which aren't from a movie/show.
Comment/Credit if these get any use, and BLANKS ARE NOT BASES. But you already probably knew that.

Feel free to skim the rest of this, just RL rants because I'm over due for one, am caffinated, and it's 11 something, and I went to bed around four in the morning and got up at nine.
Not much has gone on in real life, getting ready to go back to school, experimented with hair dye (the red didn't turn up :( I have to dye my hair blonde, or at least highlight it if I want it to work), and have cleaned. Lots. I didn't know it was possible for dogs to shed so much in a month. I clean my room, and the house and what not weekly, but I really cleaned my room. I moved my desk, and actually went under the bed *shudder*, and I used 3 of those swifter pad things, and vacuumed the whole floor before it was half way done Ick. Dog hair=baaddddd.
Also got my school schedule today, and am not real happy with it, nor real unhappy with it. My first class is science. With the same teacher I had last year. In the library. I still don't quite get that, but we'll just wait and see! My last class is Algebra, which is good and bad. I like it at the end of the day because I can ask questions after class, and in the afternoon I seem to retain information better, but it's the last class of the day. No one ever pays attention in that class. Especially on Fridays. Gah.
In more school news, my mom is also starting school again (She's getting her PhD). She has to commute to Chicago once a week (which is about an hour and a half car die to the tran station and about a 2 hr ride on the train), and she's afraid that over the winter, she'll get stuck in Chicago over night. So she's called her friends to see if they would come over to stay with me if that ever happened. Gah, that bugs me. I understand she's worried I blow the house up, or someone will break in or something, but her friends kind of creep me out. If I were left home alone overnight, I would probably end up freaking myself out, and calling my father or someone because our house is old, and creaky, and I'm skittish, and I see dead people.
In other news, I broke a cabinet door. Well, the hinge came off anyway, and apparently, it was custom made for the last occupants in the house, and a cabinet maker has to be called in, and it'll cost a nice sum of money. Oops.
Dream wise, I've been a tad weird. I have those dreams where you wake up, and say "What the hell was that all about?" They're kind of the type where the dreams seem more real then dreamy.
But they've been weird, and I looked some things up in one of my dream dictionary things (not like I believe in most of that stuff...*cough), and I swear, everything in that book is just a way of showing 'sexual tension'. My god. You dream of a car, you're dreaming of sex, you dream of alcohol, you're dreaming of sex. And I mean, a car? My dreams really haven't had an sexual undertones or anything, and I mean, last nights had a guy I went to school with's parents. I don't like the guy or anything, and I know his parents pretty well, and all, but he wasn't even in it, and it was really weird. We then all went on a plane, and then later some of my friends got there and I was like "How was your trip?" and they all ignored me. SO I went and drank lots of Bloody Mary's and Shirley Temples (which is illegal for me).
In fandom news, I've been making lots of icons (or avatars, or whatever you wish to call them), but have been very bad in writing. Gah. I need to get back into scribble_daily because you're supposed to scribble daily, and I've been making dots weekly (if that made sense. /:) I have been reading Severus/Harry smut for some reason. I don't ship them or anything, but I'm one of those people that will read anything if written well (like Dumbledore Mpreg that kind of reminded me of Rosemary's Baby). Also have been in a huge Remus/Sirius mood, any recs?
On second thought, I think I'll cut all this for convenience. I don't think I've rambled in quite some time. Hmm.
