As you can see..I'm not dead :D

I just got caught up into RL and completely left off my virtual life.

A lot went on. Some good things happened, some sad too. My pc finally crashed on me and I had to get it fixed and re-boot the poor thing. Fresh start, right? But I'm still here.There's going to be a MAJOR friend-cut sometime this month. Don't get upset if I'm cutting you out. I will cut just the ones that I never saw commenting at my entries and that just added me to lurk. And I'll probably set this journal to friends-only too. i't something I never really understood but I think it's time for me to do it. ;)

Ok, now. Before I get into some unnecesary needed ranting it's better I do this meme snagged from my beloved friend tiredofrunning7

01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their livejournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper.
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this. The point is to see what you had on.

Here's mine:



1) It's my VERY top favourite Robward close-up shot from the movie. That crooked smile OWNS my heart.
2) I love the text in it. Makes me laugh everytime.
3) The colours are AMAZING.
4) It seems to radiate peace and giggliness and I really NEED to feel some positive vibrations these days.
5) and it was made out of an header from the talented iconraven  by request. You can check her amazing arts @ forevernevermor  .

I'm not gonna tag anybody, but if you decide to do this meme let me know by commenting here so I can come over to your journals and lurk all the way around your desktop choices LOL

Ok, since I've been an HORRIBLE, totally UNFORGIVABLE LJ friend lately, I have some explanations to do. Sort of.
Feel free to cut me off whatever list you have if you're disappointed of me.
But I surely hope you don't do that, d'uh. Mostly because I've been caught up in RL, and had a lot of troubles in family so if you think this is just another random excuse..I don't honestly care.
I have indeed had a few problems and they're most definitely far from being over so I won't be around that much from now on as well.
Enough with the pity part of this post.

I'm here to pimp something. I know I haven't posted any birthday wishes on my lj so far, for anybody. Of course I wished HB to anyone on my flist on their journals so far but since I knew I couldn't be around on regular basis I thought it could be pretty lame of me post for someone's birthday and don't post for some other's. I don't really like double standards, so I rather don't post at all. (I'm positive I'll do it next year though)
But, there's a but. Joanne (joannwithane) has been cute enough to make a birthday pimp-post for Sarah (dorkfish04) this morning and I couldn't help myself from doing it myself.
So here it goes..

Hi everyone! Yes I'm back and welcome to a completely restyled version of my journal!!! I doon't usually pimp myself, but I want to do it this time around LOL
So, header and coding are mine (I've been up very late for the past few days to fix the css and general settings), and I'm proud of what I came up with.
What do you think? Just comment and let me know! Feedback really makes me all kinds of happy. Concrit is welcome too (unless you're complaining about my tv-ship taste or something like that. This is MY journal, after all, get over it! Besides, Lois&Oliver ARE cute together LOL). Here's a screenshot of the old layout, just in case you need any reminder. ;)

I have a HUGE (and I mean HUGE like I've never made so many icons in a row like this time) icon batch I'm hoping to post tomorrow. At least I'm gonna post half of it while I'm working on the other half. I won't spoil you the subject, but maybe you can guess what it is? LOL

Also, I snagged a meme from tiredofrunning7 earlier this evening and I ended up taking another couple memes more over at BuddyTV, so blame her. :D

This post will be totally and utterly DEDICATED to Morly ♥ (smores100). So, you've been warned, there'll be a lot of giggling and gushing, so you're free to skip this and move on :D

But let's get to the good stuff. Guess what I found this morning in my mail-box? A certain notification, from a certain lj saying that a certain (special, utterly sweet and kind) girl had decided to give me her remaining paid account time (which, FYI is 224 days and I also have 102 user pics right now). As a gift!!
I can't really explain how I felt, cause there was so much going on in my head and in my heart in that moment. I was mesmerized, and I still am. And most importantly I'm moved. She just recently got a permanent account (she was thinking about it  for a while and I think she's happy this way. Which makes me happy too) and give her paid accoutn time left to me. We don't even know each other outside lj and I had absolutely no right to get her paid account (she knew I wanted to buy one and I was just waiting to be paid from the office to get it) but she gave it to me anyway and now I'm probably babbling cause I can't form proper words to THANK her. ♥
Believe me, I'm not writing this because I have, but because I WANT. I'd personally go to Israel to thank her in person, but that's a little difficult right now.
Since forming words is kinda impossible for me right now.. Morly..I hope you'll enjoy this little, insignificant gift. it's really nothing compared to what you did for me and the very special friend you are, but I chose a pic from Breakout, cause we were there together, even if we didn't meet. ♥

Yes!
Apparently my Muse loves me again and I'm going back on making icons like good old times! *dances* I won't say I'll be posting a huge batch tomorrow, but I might post something very soon. YAY!
I'm so happy! Honesty I was tired of my total lack of inspiration (damn!) and seeing LOADS of beautiful icons out there just made me sadder everyday.
At least work is keeping me busy-busy so I don't have so much time left to rant and whine around LOL Ok maybe I did it a bit already :D
Basically I posted to let you (well..the ones of you who's intrested) know this and that I finally fixed the calendar in the sidebar so that it shows (with a different background) the dates in which I posted, cause misteriously my css was correct but it didn't show the background as I set it. Also, I put the tags page right in the main menù, below the banner, I guess that's more easily to find what you're searching.
Aaaaand..I've changed mood theme. It's Logan & Veronica season1-3 mood theme by calikalie!
That's it folks! I'll catch up with you all very very soon! Wish me luck, I'll be working at this newspaper project as from tomorrow! Yay!

PS: ghghg look at my mood today..I mean..I'd die to be exausted 'cause of some good sex, instead of being like that because of a very energy-sucking day! Damn it! LOL

I spent the whole week making this new layout. The header - thanx to Jason Dohring's awesomeness - came out very easily and I like it.
It took me AGES to fix the new css and the profile page though (which I finally managed to fill in with some infos ;) Kudos to me! Only a year late LOL).
I kinda freaked out. I drove Laura completely crazy. She's like..THE BEST, cause she always listen to my random babblings and panic attacks (which are not so uncommon lately). I ♥ you!
But now it's finally finished and I'd really LOVE to know what you guys think about it. So feel free to comment.
As you can see the subject is the same. I can't help myself, I love this guy! The caps are from that sweet hylarious CW connect interview he made a couple of months ago. If you like you can find 'em here.

Time for a hell of a crediting guys, so sit down and have a coffee or something LOL
I MUST thank:
reversescollide for the AMAZING profile page tutorials (Laura's tip, obviously. Did I mention she's the best??)
cartonage for the ILLUMINATING tutorial on css customization
17laura for the UNIQUE and ENDLESS support

Ok, I guess that's all for know. It's 2:45 a.m. and I just got busted by my mom. :D

No, don't worry, I'm not turning my lj 'friends only', drop your weapons LOL
Just posting to let you know that I changed the icons for user/post segnalation. So now it's:
= open post/lj-user/lj-community
= private
= locked

That's it..just so you know. I wanted a little more color in my lj layout so I made this set. (I know I should probably change the layout, but you know what? Other than lazy I'm extremely jackass-addicted right now. Sorry LOL)

Hi everyone!
Since this is both a personal and an icon (arts) journal, there are a few rules to follow, if you like to use my Icons (and my arts in general). Please READ them all very carefully, because using any of the graphics means you are agreeing to the rules.

1. Do NOT claim ANY of my ICONS as your own. I can recognize my arts when I see them, even if you try to cover it up;

2. Do NOT use TEXTLESS icons as icon BASES. That's not the purpose I've made them for;

3. Do NOT direct link ANY of the ICONS. Upload them to your own server wheter you decide to use them. If you don't have one, try Photobucket.com or Imageshack.us;

4. If you take any of the icons make sure you give credit. It's not required, but truly appreciated. If you use an icon in a forum, a link back to this journal is required in your signature; if you use it in your LiveJournal, place a link in your personal images page. Like this:
5. Please note that ALL credits for textures, brushes anf other goodies I use in my arts, can be found here.

6. Redistribuition is prohibited, unless you have my written permission. Finding my stuff around the web without credit is not even remotely funny.

Respect my work by following these simple rules. I'm just a fangirl, as probably the most of you, so keep that in mind ;)

Thanks
Eleonora
