So at the suggestion of my beautiful best friend Lady Venom (she's not an LJ girl, but if you haven't checked out her gallery at DeviantArt, DO IT NOW: http://lady666venom.deviantart.com/gallery/), I've officially become a Deviant. That is so much fun to say. I dare you to call yourself a Deviant out loud and not smile... can't do it can you? Anyways, I've loved photogrpahy since I can't remember when and so Lady's suggestion made a lot of sense. I'll try and add as many shoots as I can (most of them will be of people I know) since they're so much fun. Please be respectful of the models and myself, though any constructive criticism is more than welcome and appreciated. Thanks, and have a good time! 

By the way, the teaser for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is now officially out. Check it out here: http://www.moviefone.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince/27063/trailer?trailerId=2181231

I'm so hyper today, so now I gotta go find something to do. Talk to you all later! :D

The first part of this message is for Frodolyn: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!! But while looking for more Order of the Phoenix caps, I came across caps of DR. HORRIBLE'S SING-A-LONG BLOG!!! I'msorryI'msorry 'msorrybutActs1and 2wereupanditwasNathanandIcavedI'msorryI'msorryohGodpleasedon'tkillmeoratleastdon'treadthisbecauseIcareabout mylifeagooddealandyoucanbeinsane!!!

*breathes* So for all those who don't know, Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog is FirefylSerenity/Buffy/Angel creator Joss Whedon's musical story of a villain Dr. Horrible (played wonderfully by Neil Patrick Harris) who struggles to overcome his smokin' hot nemesis Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion who actually has a really nice voice and his enthusiasm suits the role so well) while trying to win the heart of the lovely Penny (Felicia Day, who is quite wonderful).

Since Frodolyn is likely pulling her curly hair straight right now, I'll try to make her feel better by giving the link to the official site here. She's gonna be pissed at me tomorrow when she learns I've watched 2/3's of it, but she knows my love for Nathan Fillion runs deeper than the ocean's depths and hopefully she'll forgive me. We'll watch the finale together, boo, I swear it!!! 

So, check out the awesome series here: http://www.drhorrible.com/

If you never hear from me again, Frodolyn has murdered me, so farewell!

So I spontaneously got a Lord of the Rings craving today and decided to join  http://community.livejournal.com/lotr_lims/. Check it out! I did my icon today and it was lots of fun!

A couple days ago I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and at the part where Mr. Filch was taking down the paintings, I suddenly got a thought that made me laugh. It was: "Oh my God... this movie has a bit of Equilibrium in it! (I can see you laughing now, Frodolyn)

For any unfortunate soul who hasn't seen Equilibrium, SEE IT NOW!!!, the summary of the plot is that in the future after a devastating WW III, the government decides that the only way to keep the peace is to make a drug that suppresses man's ability to feel. Obviously, there's resistance fighters, and thus, a special police task forces known as the Tetragrammaton who destroy anything that might cause emotion (i.e.: paintings, music, colors, etc). The best of the Tetreagrammaton Cleric, John Preston (played wonderfully by Christian Bale) one day chooses not to take his drug and helps the resistance. 

Think about Order of the Phoenix, and you'll see some of the similarities, particularly when you compare any Potterish rebelling with Preston's infamous line: "Not without incident." Ooo... just thinking about it makes me all excited! So, I've decided to make a whole set of Harry Potter icons titled The Not Without Incident Collection. The caps I'll be using will not be my own, but as long as the message gets through, who cares?

Speaking of Harry Potter, last night I watched Rupert Grint in Driving Lessons. It was the best way to calm down after watching the entire Rambo series. It was a really sweet film and Julie Walters was AMAZING!!! (Don't worry, Frodolyn, I am going to buy it). Since I have a MASSIVE crush on Rupert Grint, you can expect lots of forthcoming icons from Driving Lessons. But of course, that'll be after the NWI Collection. 

I'll be sure to keep you all posted! Later, yo!

All right, so this is all new to me and I got a Livejournal account for a reason, for which I am about to state (Listen up, Frodolyn, cause I'm gonna need your help): 

I like screencapping and am going to open a page specifically for that purpose. Yes, I know there are some already out there (check my friends page), but my screencaps are different in the following ways: #1: I have many varied movie tastes, so you'll be able to find everything from Doom to The Fountain, Lord of the Rings to Stay, Slither to Con Air, etc, etc. #2: I don't screencap entire movies (or TV shows as I have all the seasons of CSI and season 1 of Lost), only parts that I feel are good for iconing (you'll be able to tell which is my earlier stuff because there'll be a lot more pictures than my recent screencaps); and #3: I do NOT do special requests. This means that if say you want a specific shot from the Lord of the Rings that's I don't have, I'm not going to go back and get it for you simply because it would take a LONG time and I wouldn't be really sure of the exact shot that you want. I'm sorry, but I would likey have many more for you to choose from.

Coming soon, hopefully in July, I'll be able to have a list with all the movies and TV shows that I have already done (I'll try to upload all the caps with that list, but that may take a while), and soon after that I'll start posting icon/graphic challenges. I'm very creative, so be ready for anything! I'll be uploading caps as fast as I can, and I'll leave you guys messages as to what they'll be (i.e.: COMING SOON: Season 6 of CSI). 

And for my dearest Brunhilda, ;) you can still post writing stuff up here and whatever you want, since you'll be helping me out a lot.

Until then, hold your breath, because I'm gonna give Wenham Lims and Des Icons a good run for their money (which they don't actually make) when it comes to themed challenges!

So I would love to introduce you to an original work of science fiction by vampirate_23 and frodolyn (aka Amy and Kait) We are very proud of this - it needs a lot of revision but it's in its second draft now - I give you - 

Nascent
Nascent meaning: Coming into existence; emerging - beginning to exist or develop
This is the story of a war torn world 600 years in the future where hope is something people are so unacustomed to that they would barely recognize it if it shot them in the belly. A starship captain who lost everything he had for a cause he no longer believes in now must rediscover his humanity or become as cold and hard as the world he inhabits. 

In the beginning it feels a bit like Serenity - I must admit it- but if you stick through it you will discover that it has its very own point to make in its very own manner. 

So I give you the first Chapter of our novel- I don't want to overload you quite yet - it will slowly be updated in this post- please comment!!!
