nilbrethil — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 22:40:32 GMT

Voting for your Love icons is under the cut. rubyjewel failed to enter an icon and has no more byes, so she is sadly eliminated from the competition. nineteen60 and eviltera will be using their skips.

Rules:
-You will be voting for the lesser quality icon and for the best icon. Vote according to quality, not personal preference.
-You must give reasons for your vote. Examples are shown below.
-Keep in mind that I will be un-screening the comments so that icon makers can see the reasons for your votes.
-Don't vote for youself.

Voting Example:
LEAST:
#100: poor choice in text and the color doesn't compliment the picture

BEST:
#101: original cropping and beautiful coloring

You're Combeferre!
A fount of compassion and common sense, you're Enjolras' right-hand man and occasional conscience. You may or may not wear glasses. Which Barricade Boy Are You?

The funny thing is...I do wear glasses (:

nilbrethil — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 23:48:49 GMT

I played a two and a half hour match against my brother today, only got through the first set and lost 5-7! Oh, the humility! I was playing really hard, leaning into my strokes and running like a madman, but I made too many forced and unforced errors. Also, some Republican running for state rep was maiking a commercial in the park by the courts and I'm sure everyone heard the manly grunts I made when I was focusing especially hard. It was a lot of fun though, and coach was really proud. Finally, I'm starting to feel more confident about my game! Just in time, too, since I'm playing a tournament this weekend.

nilbrethil — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 22:31:44 GMT

I'm so bored that I'm going to make a list of the 6 celebrities I think are most attractive. Oh, and Pirates 2 was amazing. Don't listen to the cutting reviews the media gave the movie! They're just out to disillusion you! Oh, and Norrington is my new favorite Pirates character. Watch the movie and see why.

Listed from bottom to top by name, occupation, and best feature.

6) Tyson Ritter. lead singer of the All American Rejects. gravity-defying cheekbones.
5) Johnny Depp. actor whose roles range from pirates to authors. amazing physique.
4) Matthew Macfadyen. actor made famous by playing Mr. Darcy. amazing blue eyes.
3) Teddy Geiger. up-and-coming singer. piercing blue eyes.
2) Brandon Routh. actor thrown into the spotlight by playing Superman. perfect jaw.
1) Brenden Urie. lead singer of Panic! at the Disco. all around gorgeous with amazing smile.

nilbrethil — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 20:23:10 GMT

Whoa. This is the first time I've updated in at least a year. Like the new layout? It features the feminine-but-still-hot Teddy Geiger. If you can name the artist from whom I snatched the lyrics I'll give you a cookie.

Anyways, this summer has been AMAZING!!!! First was the trip to China. Then a week in the Bahamas scuba diving (we completed 19 dives!). And next is a cruise to Alaska. This week alone I went to Busch Gardens (ShiKra 3 times in front row!!!!), saw Superman Returns (Brandon Routh is going to be added to my list of fandoms), and I will be seeing Pirates of the Caribbean 2 in exactly 3 hours. Can it get any better than that?

nilbrethil — Tue, 07 Sep 2004 19:46:59 GMT

Lots of the lady elves....none are up for grabs except the icons.

<--- If this one isn't allowed because of Aragorn, just let me know and I'll remove it :)

Eric Bana:

"I already loved Orlando like a little brother before we started shooting. We did spend five months together in Morocco during "Black Hawk Down". And you have to take care of Orlando. He doesn't even know how to make coffee. [Starts imitating Orlando's voice] 'Do you want coffee, Eric? How is it done again? Do you put the coffee in the water? Or in the filter? Can you make the coffee, Eric?'"
