Orange-Coconut Creative

Chem today, wish me luck!

On another note, Annie/Silver (new 90210) are so getting slashed. Somebody needs to spearhead this community so I can post in it.

It throws me off everytime I hold open a door for someone and they just give me an odd "What are you doing?" look. Of course, this tends to be from men. I'm in such a habit of opening doors for women that I tend to do it without thinking. I just think it's funny.

Decided to x-post this to my own journal from dh_epic_fail.

Here's the thread: Things the Mistakes in Harry Potter Have Taught Me about Writing

Here's my comment behind the cut.

( The cut. )

Hmm. Haven't posted in a while. I'll have to because I just can't keep some things to myself.

Finished the book a couple of hours ago and just managing to get some thoughts off the top of my head down.

( SPOILERS )

( One of Those Life Changing Quotes )

And how about those New Years resolutions?
1. Figure myself out (at least, moreso than the past three or so hopeless years)
2. Stop trying to patch things up with friends who keep hurting you (take your losses, heal, and move on. It's an investment for the long run.)
3. Get more dedicated to karate.
4. Don't beat yourself up too much if it takes more than two years to transfer out of community college.

And now, for the GFX work I've done. Nothing too special.

Taking some of my old GFX work from my old journal and reposting them here. So I don't have to wonder where they are (and consequently show 'em off! :F)

( Everything else. )

Just some icons. Check the cut.

( Some femmeslash, some not. )

Mmm. Watching Margaret Cho.

"Sex is like air. It isn't important unless you're not getting any."

"If you think gay is contagious, then you are gay."

"And especially, especially, don't fuck with vegans. Do not look vegans in the eye. If you get into an arguement with a vegan, say "I'm wrong", and run away as fast as you can. Do not fuck with vegans because they will fuck you up...BECAUSE THEY'RE HUNGRY."

Ugh. I know that everyone else already knows, but I've gotta repeat it to myself sometimes. Maybe, one day, it'll finally get through my addled brain.

Erika. You suck at drinking.

... that I do. But anyway, this is a sore attempt at trying to get myself to prevent a repeat of last night. Drinking so much that it drives you to the bathroom so you don't accidentally throw up on the carpet of whoever's house you're at. Though last night was hardly my worst drinking experience (and trust me on that one), it could've gone better.

The whole mixing Red Bull with vodka really, really killed the bite, so I didn't know I was at my limit until... I don't know, the end of that last drink I downed. I think my limit it around four shots (because a measly four shots knows how to kick my 115lbs. frame) and I lost count around... five or six.

But hey, the night was fun enough that it was worth it. The highlight, of course, would be Cory and Amie signing onto World of Warcraft drunk and somehow causing a bunch of guild drama, because some guildies couldn't have a good time and handle the low maturity level of them. I mean, how can anyone take drunk people online seriously?

So, to cure the slight ache of a hangover that's bugging my stomach, I wander out before getting everyone some Jamba Juice. They're not awake yet, but I figured they'd appreciate something healthy to curb the morning's ailments.

Anyway, I need to go clean the shot glasses and smuggle them back into my house before my dad figures out I snatched 'em.

I'm in in Santa Barbara at the moment, visiting and old high school friend. I pretty much stayed the weekend and I'll be coming back home Monday morning. Thankfully, I don't have to work tomorrow like I usually do and I can just use to the time to touch up a few icons and get them up here (and we all know how my so-called "graphic LJ" is lacking in said art.) Apparently, my LJ is just looking a pretty until I get off my butt. :P

So, despite the lack of art that I've been posting (aka none), I'm still here and I still do plan on posting... stuff. I just need to get off my lazy ass and actually get something done on paper. Or digitally, I've got a few femslash icons in the making that I'll be getting up soon and x-posting with some communities. I am alive though!

Ciao.

Welcome to the new journal of the former orangecoconuts. Don't know if I'll go back to it, even for everyday life posting. But here is where the creativity will come in. Enjoy. ;D
