Fanart, Fanfiction and Fangirling

Oh my God, nonono. I'm starting to mix up English and German like when I was in school! >_< Which could be positive, because my German was far better back then, I read an essay I wrote in my 4th year and was surprised at how good I was (there were some typos and grammar mistakes but, hey, nobody's perfect.) So maybe it means my German is finally getting better again. On the other hand it's bloody annoying and very confusing, forming a sentence in a language and catching yourself using words from another one. I mean, shouldn't I mix up English and Italian? Or German and Italian. My main language is ITALIAN! Got it, brain? I-TA-LIAN. Daaamn. And then I mix up Italian with Milanese dialect. *headdesk* I suppose that's because English and German have much more in common with each other than with Italian, which has a very strong Latin influence. And I want to learn Japanese as well... *shakes head*

Anyway! Enough with language geekyness! I have something for schwimmerin, who, by the way, may be the only one on my flist who finds my language geekyness sort of interesting. ;) Here's your icon!



I was late for work this morning and forgot the CD with the .mpg video of Sumisu at home, so I used the one I found on Youtube, the quality was quite good. I hope you like it, let me know if you want something else on it. :) (And sorry for the other day when I was on Messenger, I must have sounded weird, but I was trying to chat and look for Bela pics on the bela-b forum at the same time. Not a good idea, my IQ always shrinks when Bela's involved. :P)

Also, if someone else wants to use it, please ask her before taking it. Thanks.

And yesterday I finally recorded the last episode of Ai Shite Knight! AKA Kiss me Licia or Rock'n'Roll Kids or whatever it was called in other countries. I recorded the whole series 4 or 5 years ago, but I was in Greece during the last week it was aired, so I programmed the VCR and asked my dad to put in a new videocassette when the previous one was full. Yes, I had calculated everything. What I didn't know, though, was that on one Saturday afternoon there was another program and the cartoon would be aired an hour later. And the last episode was on that Saturday. I was so sad and angry when I got home. :( But I knew they always have reruns in summer, I would just have to wait. And now the wait is over and I have the whole series! Yes! It's all mine, my prrreciousssss...

Uhm. All right, let's see if I can finally write something now. Or maybe I should wait after lunch. Yes, let's just waste another half hour, after all almost everyone's on holiday and there's nothing to do. God, I love August.

I had an absurd dream tonight, I was explaining someone the difference between major and minor chords. WTF? This is obviously my subconscious trying to tell me I really should play more, isn't it?

Anyway, I posted the Richy/Igor drabble at deine_schuld. I'd like to thank zenkatze for reading it over for me, I'm always very insecure when it comes to writing in German. THANK YOU! :D You were looking for "feeling down" icons and I gave it a try. You don't have to use them if you don't like them, I know they're nothing fancy, but there wasn't much to do at work this morning, so I decided to use my time in a productive way. I looked for images that gave the idea of loneliness, these were the ones I liked most.

( Icons under the cut )

Also, while I was looking for Sandman images I found a great one:

Ugh. Work now. *sigh*

Three more icons made from the pic unbelangbar posted the other day.



And while I was looking for inspiration, I came up with these three.



Hehe, I had way too much fun with these last three. ^__^ I could post them at aerzte_icons too. Mmh...

Busy busy busy. Thank God I'm only working 4 hours today.

Anyway, to everyone to whom I owe something: I'm sorry for being so late (as usual), but you'll get what you've asked for. I promise.

theallicat: this is your icon! Let me know what you think of it, if it's all right or I have to modify it.



EDIT: Nooo!!! What's that grey line on top of the icon? Why didn't I notice it before??? *headdesk* I'm sorry dear, I'll fix it this afternoon, I promise. Man, I thought it had been way too easy for my first time doing an animated icon, there had to be something wrong with it... -__-

EDIT2: Fixed! I hope...

nyxalinth: your drawing is coming along nicely! The lineart is done, I just need to colour it. It's quite simple, but I hope you'll like it.

unbelangbar: I'll start working on your icons this evening.

Everyone at deine_schuld: I've got ideas for the second part of "Three", but I haven't had time to write them down. Threesome on the way. ;)
