Graphics Whore

This post is a permanent one for requesting tutorials from me for something I made. If I still have the psd, or just plain remember how something was done, I'll write up a tutorial on request. Feel free to ask questions also if you just want to know what font I used, or how I did a specific thing. :)

The Porn Battle is happening, folks. It is happening. It is going live!




Got your attention? Awesome! Now, go prompt me some Jeff/Annie or something!

...because I need more fic to write/finish like I need a hole in the head. But... I missed the last Battle due to LJ being an asshat.

LOL! Kitty!

Vicodin for period pain. This is a new low. But a nice high.

Also, I got my sister addicted to Community. Score one me!

My, I'm chatty lately.

Have you ever been writing a fic, knowing exactly where you're going with it and then, bam! Something unexpected happens and it takes you so much by surprise that you're left gaping at the screen/paper?

Yeah, I just did that. I'm not sure what to do with it now. And it'd going to make this damn oneshot longer than I intended, as usual. Why can't I just stick with oneshots? I like the multi-chaptered ones too, but I don't like turning every freaking fic into one. And I need to stop having freakin' ideas for Community fic. I have hundreds of unfinished fics in numerous fandoms. No exaggeration.

Ugh! I suck.

I'm sorry, but do you not understand that when you say things like, 'pre-poo' and 'low-pooing' it makes you sound like an idiot? You really can't type out shampooing? Really? My gosh, I'm glad my time isn't so short that I can't type out a few more letters in my long instructional posts about hair care.

Other word annoyances:

Randomly, one of the Wii dance games has 'Let's Go To the Mall' by Robin Sparkles on it. That cracks me up.


Also, randomly, I watched I Am Number Four today and felt like I was watching Roswell meets Smallville. The only good thing about it was Timothy Olyphant. The rest was meh. Yet, I'd still watch a sequel if one ever came out. Anyway, and then I saw who wrote it and laughed and laughed and laughed. Al Gough, Miles Millar, Marti Noxon. Wowsa.


Ooo! I finished knitting all the pieces to my first sweater earlier this evening! Yay! As soon as the sleeves finish blocking, I can start to sew it up. Not really looking forward to that, because I suck at the Mattress stich somewhat. Although the seam will be inside, and not really visible. I hope. Eek. I really hope I don't end up with one sleeve longer and one side hanging funny. Maaaaan.


Ooo, the second. I made my own knitting needles. Because I am awesome. Seriously, those things are ridiculously expensive once you factor in all the damn sizes you need for all the different patterns, and then the different kinds: straight needles, circular, double pointed. Socks. So, I did like some people said online. Get a gauge guide with the holes, go to the dowel section, get the ones you need that fit through the appropriate holes, snap/cut them at the right sizes. 7 inches for DPN and 10 for straight. Sharpen the ends with an ordinary pencil sharpener, about as sharp as a pencil with broken lead, sand them down--a lot, and repeatedly-then stain/paint and lacquer them. They suggest beeswax, but all I could find at Michaels, Joann's, and Hobby Lobby, were the giant blocks, so I went with varnish instead. I stained mine, sanded some more, then varnished them. Let them dry a long while, and voila.

I also have a circular needle set with switchable needles. Way handy, but expensive. I got it with a coupon for40% off or something, and 25% off entire purchase, so instead of $75, I paid somewhere around 20, I think. It was a while back and I bought other things with it, so I'm not sure what the specifics were. And, you care, obviously. *eyeroll*


I did a coffee rinse on my hair for darkening/highlights/softness/shine and, no matter how many times I wash my hands, they won't stop stinking of coffe, which, for some reason, smells like nicotine on my fingers. Since I stopped smoking 11 years or so ago, this is nauseating to me. I wonder if lemon juice will help? ... Fake lemon juice does, in fact, help the teensiest bit. Then hand sanitizer again. Didn't help before, but it does a little now. But it's still there once all the other smells fade, including lotion. It's noticably fainter though, so that's good.

I also used some coconut oil afterward, which is supposed to be the best thing ever for hair and cooking/health. We'll see. My hair is really dry, so I'm hoping the oil will help with that and the extreme frizz.


This random crap brought to you by the letter Annie and the number Jeff, and also by the letter sex.

Sign of pathetic? I loaned my Community DVDs to someone and I missed them before they even walked out the door. I watch and rewatch them so often it's not even close to funny. At least I made a fan out of someone, possibly a few someones.


To make this post less pathetic and more topical, the Porn Battle is on its way again! Yay. I am going to prompt the hell out of Jeff/Annie. If LJ doesn't die for me this time like it did last time.
Live Journal: Porn Battle - Lucky Thirteen.
DreamWidth: Porn Battle - Lucky Thirteen.


Also, I'm currently writing a darkest timeline fic. Why do I punish myself by writing a billion and one fics at once? Ugh!


Whatever happened to hippies? We need more hippies in this world.

Title: A Tale in Twenty Drabbles (1/1)
Author: sinecure - My master fic list
Spoilers: Remedial Chaos Theory, it's AU from there.
Rating/Warnings: R. There's a warning attached to this fic, but I can't tell you what it is because it'd spoil things. Read the first drabble, you'll get an idea. It's all rather mild. If you're easily offended, I don't suggest reading any further than that.
Word Count: 2,000 (plus titles)
Summary: Jeff sees something; Annie keeps secrets.
Disclaimer: I don't own Community and I make no money from it.



A Tale in Twenty Drabbles

Okay, so, just signed up for the community_bbang. I did one of these a few years ago for DW. That one nearly destroyed me. I was a puddle of nothing by the time I finished that fic, which I love. But. Hard. Now, with me being really reluctant to write lately for no apparent reason, I thought it might force me to do so. However, also terrified. I have no idea what fic I'm going to write. I have a bunch of fic ideas thought out, some even with bits written, but it has to be at least 15,000 words and that takes some thought. Which one do I want to make that big?

Oh, and there are still a few weeks to sign up, so go do so!

So, the Interet is going partially dark tomorrow/tonight. Not as much as I'd like--I'm looking at you, Facebook and Google and such--but I'm also slightly happy it isn't for purely selfish reasons. But. If I had a choice, I'd rather it went dark. SOPA is a bad bill. PIPA is a bad bill.
