The moon must like me; he follows me everywhere
It's March already. It was pancake day yesterday. I forgot until about 11PM and so didn't have any. Lent began today but i was too lazy and/or depressed to think of anything to give up, or do so. I've been feeling pretty shitty lately really; suddenly everything seemed to pile up on top of me. I don't know why but i do go through these spells of pathetic self-pity. At least they do pass relatively quickly so i can't complain too much.
Some news to perk me up a bit though was an invitation from
xxjaybabyxx and 
foxestacado to join 
elite_tutorial which was so kind. I think it's lovely when someone can do something like that, to just notice something you did because they like it, and tell you so. Hrmm, maybe i'm just in a see-the-good-in-everything kind of mood, fresh out of my pool of misery, but it was a lovely compliment anyway. And even though i haven't exactly posted, i'm very excited about that! My first tutorials went down well, too, which i was so pleased about. Sebastien is love and pin light is too, so a pin light Sebastien tutorial had to be good for one of my first tutorials!
Also claimed a topic over at100hp which was 'Goblet of Fire' and also, more problematically, a potential mistake. It's only when i force myself into these corners i realise that i am a terrible person at self-motivation, and why-oh-why did i sign up for this? I could have been clever, or prepared at least, and made 20 or so icons before applying for a claim, but oh no, not me. Straight in the deep end. Oh well if all else fails i'll have to bow out, although i would really rather not. Thing is i take time over my icons and spend silly amounts of attention on colouring, selecting blend modes, etc. Yet when i made a few for this contest, i felt so obliged to mass-make that i realised i was just botching semi-skilled icons together to meet the criteria. I'd rather not sacrifice time and attention just to compensate for quantity.
Yay for icon contests, too. I got 1st and 2nd place over atlosticontenders which was brilliant! So pleased! God if the world was about to be enveloped in macaroni, i'd still be excited at winning an icon award!
