I'll be gone for a week. Not that I think you'd notice since it's usually more than one week between my updates LOL. But in case you need me for anything, I won't be here :)

I'll be back Monday. I'm off to a music festival and will be camping out there. The forecast says rain, booh :(

New Moon was epic!
- I think the cinema was full of Team Edward'ers because there was much laughter when Jacob appeared on screen. (Dude did look ridiculous with that wig on, thank god he's rid of that now).

Australian Idol is full of fail. FAIL!

it's another healthy obsession

It's not like an obsession or anything

SCREENCAP PARADISE

Oooh look, Smallville layout! (Yes, I know the banner changes LOL). rosely really did a superb job converting our site to wordpress!

I love Screencap Paradise and I'm so proud of it ♥ I can't believe it's been around for so long, in a way it feels like we only just started it, but on the other hand it feels like it was always there.... I love making caps and I love adding the caps to the gallery (which, yes I know I don't do often enough! Time is a wicked, wicked thing).

WHAT? THE MEME DIDN'T SAY YOU COULDN'T LINK TO ONE OF YOUR OWN SITES!!

Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

Amazon
I read this book ages ago, in high school and have since re-read it in English as well as in Danish. It made a huge impact on the back then and I think everyone should read it, it's excellent.

Synopsis:
Fifteen, white, middle-class, Alice seems to be fine. She is doing well at school. She thinks someday she'd like to get married and raise a family. On July 9th, Alice is turned on to acid. She figures life is more bearable with drugs than without. Alice's life is never the same again.

Her parents notice changes, but they don't know what's happening.
They can't help her. The difference between Alice and a lot of other kids on drugs is that Alice kept a diary...

I really couldn't help it!!!!
The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith

Amazon 1 and 2
I also read these books (the first two) ages ago, in high school, when I was around 13/14. I've just re-read them and while they're extremely easy reads, I find them excellent at the same time. I'm afraid I've become ~~slightly~~ crazily obsessed with them!!!!

Synopsis
Elena is the queen of High School. After the death of her parents and summer abroad, she returns to her senior year – and there’s a distractingly good looking new student, Stefan. Elena wants him, and everybody wants Elena – except Stefan.
Well, turns out Stefan is a vampire, has a very problematic brother – Damon – who he hates (and vice versa) and something dark’s threatening the town of Fell’s Church. Only Elena, caught between the two brothers, and her friends can put a stop to it.

(adding the following because I find it hilarious - and it's also very true):
Stephenie Meyer seems to have heavily borrowed from L. J. Smith. The first half of the first book is “why doesn’t he look at me – why does she smell so good – I need to have him – I need to eat her” etc. etc. Except that this time it was European History instead of Biology Class. Then the books go in different directions with the most notable distinction of the Vampire Diaries having an actual plot.

Muahahahahaa!!
They're definitely worth a read, especially if you're planning on watching the CW show that starts in just over a week!

And if you're in a Jasper/Bella fanfic kind of mood, there's always And So It Goes by the fantastic laceandgrace!

Just thought I'd put it out there....

there's something you're hiding

The Host art

leloo — Mon, 19 May 2008 12:03:58 GMT

Just finished this and I quite like it. I suppose I'd better hide it behind a cut since it's kind of spoilerish for the end of The Host and I'm not sure if any of you slowpokes are gonna read it eventually....

I'm Your Future

1680, 1280 and 1024

I already forgot what the hottie is called, someone suggested this guy as Ian over at the_host_novel and I went with it. It's the lovely Caroline Trentini ♥ as Wanda in her new host body. I can't remember my resources cos I'm lame, most are my own anyways and then there's the obvious swirly thing that I got from J.j *hugs*

Friends Cut!

leloo — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 07:28:55 GMT

Ok, so I've decided to do this even though I always thought I never would. I've always posted most of my entries in a private/filtered group anyway, and I will keep doing that despite this.

So basically, what I am saying is - if you'd like to be included in this group, and for some reason think that you won't automatically be, then drop me a comment and I'll include you. With fear of sounding a bit full of myself (I really don't mean it that way), I feel like there's people on my flist that I don't really know or that I don't know any more/have grown apart from/don't have anything in common anymore. I am sure these people feel the same way and the reason we're still even friended is because we're holding on to those old bonds but really, we're just cluttering up each other's flists. Hey, I could be wrong in which case, I am sorry for being a bitch and so blunt about this. But the truth of the matter is, I'd like to actually know who my friends are, who cares about me and my weird little life - and it's nothing to do with comments really. I'm not the best commenter either - it's about who wants to read my entries and who usually just scrolls past them... and vice versa, I guess.

So I'm gonna strip my filter and re-add people. I have so much love for everyone on my friends list, old and new additions, but I feel like I need to do this. For my sanity. And of fear of repeating myself, because I want to know who reads my entries.
Anyone who I am just getting to know, I'd love to keep you but I would like to know if you feel the same way :)

Um.. ok, so everyone who commented on my last entry, you don't really need to comment again, (unless of course you want to give me some extra lovin'), none of you were even considered getting cut, I swear you all rock my world <3

More Twilight art!!

leloo — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 01:53:09 GMT

I have made two more Twilight pieces because it seems to be all I can think of these days, it's the very air that I breathe (lame-o LOL).

I really like the way these turned out, the Alice one especially.

Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene):

1024

Emmett & Rosalie (Tom Welling & Lily Donaldson):

1024

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated :)

Update on life coming later probably, I've got a new computer, yay!!

Before I'm off to bed..

leloo — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:28:16 GMT

I've finally managed to pull myself together and updated S H A T T E R E D

There's no new layout or anything, but a lot of new art (including the two pieces I've posted here previously) and some new textures and stuff too.

And now I am off to bed *yawn*

Twilight Art again..

leloo — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:15:20 GMT

Just quickly, before I am off to bed :p
Have been thinking all day what text to put on this and while I was shutting down my laptop, it came to me!!

Just a simple Bella/Edward piece, but I like it.

1024 || 800

That's all for now :)

Ugh, I'm back at work tomorrow, sadly I am feeling well enough to go. Was enjoying some home time though LOL!

My first Twilight art...

leloo — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 06:53:56 GMT

It's nothing special but I had to make something!!!
It's probably not my usual style (as Dane pointed out when he saw it) but I wanted to try something different anyway. Edwards skin color was better in my original, before I started putting on textures but oh well... I kinda like how it turned out in the end anyway.

1024 || 800

I have lots more art that I still haven't posted on BF or my site but I will get to that later. I have a book to get back to!!!

Attention!!

leloo — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 14:39:29 GMT

I would ask that everyone have a look at this announcement.

It has come to our attention that Justin @ Screencap Madness, Omri @ Burning Memories and another forum member have been ripping off artwork and stealing website codes. This is not appreciated by ANYONE and therefor we, as fanartists, are today taking a stand against it.

A partnership made between Screencap Paradise and pretty as a PICTURE

leloo — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 12:42:45 GMT

On september 5th, pretty as a PICTURE and Screencap Paradise created a partnership that combined, will make the sites one of the largest imagearchives online. Together they will provide the users with HQ captures and HQ still images and complement each other in ways no other image archives has ever done before. As a decision pretty as a PICTURE will be moving all their Ats, Btvs and SPN captures over to Screencap Paradise and in return Firefly will move to Pretty as a PICTURE. The image archives will from now on never conflict with each other, but instead always make sure to offer different shows and that way make the user's visits more enjoyable.

The owners of Screencap Paradise and pretty as a PICTURE hope that their visitors will find this development between the sites new and exciting, as well as bring down the reputation of being competing sites. Together they will continue to focus on HQ pictures, both screencaps and stills and the owners look forward to taking this partnership to new heights.

What American accent do you have?

New York City. You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

Heh, cool. I'd totally fit in :p
