Hunt Challenge: Film Titles! No Harry Potter Titles Allowed! Suggested by the_jedi_ninja
The idea is to make an icon using a film title as text, but Harry Potter movie titles aren't allowed. So of course you wouldn't be able to do a Sirius Black icon saying "Prisoner of Azkaban", but you could make a Rita Skeeter icon saying "The Devil Wears Prada". It can be any title you choose, just make sure to include the entire title, not just bits of it.
Rules of the Hunt Challenge:
* You may use any picture you find, but it must be a scene/character from the Harry Potter movies.
* Please do NOT use images provided on this post for your hunt icons. Go find YOUR OWN images!
* Blending, Text, and Animation are allowed.
Text Challenge: Dig by Incubus
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us
At least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us
At least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone
