HP & the HBP

[orangerful]

Another crazy day I've set up for myself. I'm working until 5 then I'm dashing over to the Barnes & Noble in Ellicot City to wait for the Harry Potter book to go on sale. When I called earlier this week, the guy said that the wrist band would dictate whether or not we were going to wait inside the store or outside. And I'm hoping that we get the inside wrist band cuz it is YUCKY today.

Just took my break and there are two large boxes in the back with "DO NOT open until Saturday!" written on them. Half Blood Prince is in there. Soooo close I could touch it.

back to work!

You must really love your job, or have the strongest will any fan I've ever run across! :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

You crack me up! :D

I read the first chapter last night....... lol

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

So did I! haha. I figured I had to at least read that much before I passed out! And I'm using my wristband as the bookmark.

[dstntp1lgr1m.livejournal.com]

my bookmark is the sandman one you gave me... And now I am currently on Chapter 5, see you tonight for Charlie...!!!!

a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

hi sam, wasn't sure where you would want this but...i was perusing your site adn found your firefly icons (love them!!!!) was wondering if you had any of kaylee that i could snag? thanks!

Re: a wee little icon request

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

hehe thanks! All of my current Kaylee/Jewel icons are up on my site in the 'firefly' (http://www.orangerful.com/Firefly/firefly_icons.htm) section -- are you looking for a specific scene with Kaylee? I can try to make something just for you if you have something specific in mind. A certain moment or quote?

Just let me know!

Re: a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

ah no specific scene (as you can see, i've found one fabulous icon of yours already) but i am in search of a kaylee and simon one...do you have any? or any of simon from the first episode?

Re: a wee little icon request

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

the only Kaylee/Simon one I have is the feet one haha, so you just have to know it's Kaylee and Simon. I can try to make make you a Simon one, for some reason I never made any of him! haha.

Re: a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

oh my god i would love you forever! i love simon! if you (in your awesomeness) do make me an icon, could you make sure he's in that super cute outfit from the 1st episode...the really preppy one? thank you so much!

Re: a wee little icon request

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

with or without those uber-hip shades? ;-)

I was hoping to snag caps from the firefly site I always go to, but it seems to be down, so I guess I'll have to make caps myself! Would you like text? And if so, what text? (I'm so bad at thinking up text, so any help would be appreciated!)

Re: a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

no shades, uh maybe text? could it be animated? like the kayleee one, just switching from shot to shot? hmm...text text...let me see...maybe one of his classic lines? or something. but no text is ok too!

Re: a wee little icon request

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you! I have about 5 Simon bases I'm working on right now just for you! Wanted to keep you up to date :-)

Re: a wee little icon request

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

here's 3 that I have done so far - 2 text, one textless. Let me know what you think, I have 2 other bases I'm working on at the moment too.

Re: a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

i love them...except i can't read the text...what does it say??

Re: a wee little icon request

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

eep! you can't? I can fix it. I hate it when the text is unreadable. It looked alright when I saved it...at least, I thought it did.

Anyway, the first one says "beautiful stranger" and the second one is an e e cummings quotes "the most wasted of all days is one without laughter" because I was blanking on Simon quotes.

I can change the text so it's readable, i dunno why it went blurry on me!

Re: a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

no no its no problem! it could just be me...my vision ain't the hottest!
you're so good at making icons! the firest one has me spellbound...

Re: a wee little icon request

[prettyemichan.livejournal.com]

okie dokies i'm takin the beautiful stranger one...cua it's SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! *wipes teary eyes*

OOh I added you too, and rightly so, because we seem to post on all the same peoples LJs.

Grr you stole my brother and a damian. Grr. :) OOh guess what. I won the costume contest at the Laurel Books a Million because I wore a picture frame and smiled and waved.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

haha yes, your icon has been freakin' me out for many many months when I'd read Laurel's journal...but I was never positive it was you. Then I asked Paul yesterday to double check haha.

That hilarious that you won the contest! I can't believe Laurel already finished the book. My weekend has been so insane I've only had time to read one chapter!

[sideflip1.livejournal.com]

nothing to do with your entry, but we bought Guild Wars...! what's your name on there? we only bought one, but we might buy a 2nd one so we can both play at the same time, which means i might have to restart. anyway, my name on there is Alicia Misaki and my boyfriend's is Ash Boguard. he'll probably be playing a lot more then me. this is my first time playing a MMORPG, so i'm knew at this stuff (even though i play an actual RPG). it's fun so far but a lot to figure out.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

haha coolbeans! AD was just saying that we need to start making real people friends because the computer characters you can bring along just don't cut it.

My name is Melaka Fray and AD is AD B Chillin He's online a bit more than me. Feel free to wave at him (or dance by him, or air guitar with him...and all those other odd things you can make your little person do!)
