Hi :) My lj is partly "friends only".
Entries with icons/banners/moodthemes etc will always be public.
If you want to keep up with my stuff, you can add me,
no need to ask. Please don't be offended if I don't automatically
add you back though. But if you think we have some
things in common, just post a comment here and we'll see what happens ;)

If you're interested in pictures/photography etc,
take a look at my community

Thanks so much guys :D To celebrate this I'm open for requests! Request whatever you want (well preferrably stock of course :p but I'll try my best with everything else too), icons, banners, headers etc. - just tell me a subject. If you have a certain picture that you want me to play with that's fine too, just link me to it or post it to this entry. Please don't request any mood themes... Well you can request them of course but it could take months to make them :p I will be working on two in the near future (Horton Hears A Who and Wall-E) but it'll take some time to complete them I guess.
Just be patient with me please, life can be a pain in the ass these days.

Thanks again *cookies for everyone* ♥

 I love my flist exploding with Lost posts every Friday now, but this isn't one of them, because I still haven't seen the epi yet. It's hard with a mom (yes, still back home, but thankfully only until Monday) who keeps coming in every two minutes and doesn't stop talking to me while she's out ;)

Anyway, this post is about the World Press Photo Award - I always love looking at all those amazing and interesting pictures. It's life in a nutshell - you have humans, animals, drama, every day life, wars, sports, joy, fear, life and death... so here are my favourites of this year's winners

Tomorrow Season 2 of Friday Night Lights starts, and I know that some of us can't wait! :D FNL is an awesome show and it is, like Clauds and Tiff kept saying, not only about football. It's about characters and relationships, and believe me, you'll find great ones on that show :) Football is what connects them all somehow, but it really is about the people and their lives.

So amantium_irae had the idea to do a picspam before the premier to "convert the infidels" ;D Well I didn't get to do that, because free time is certainly not my friend these days, but during packing I was able to upload some scenes, so all you infidels go and watch! ;)
