you are everything

Please point anyone and everyone this way that you think might be interested. I'm thinking about doing all sorts of fandoms, bandoms, actors, musicians, critters and abstract stuff as well. Maybe even taking requests.

Wallpaper-wise, I was most prolific in the QAF fandom, but I've also done X-Files, Latter Days & Steve Sandvoss and Brokeback Mountain. You can check them out in the gallery on my waaaaay outdated site here. I can't remember if you have to set up an account in the gallery right now to view the wallpapers or not. I've had trouble with image theft in the past and kept going back and forth as far as making them members only. Just let me know if you have trouble viewing them.

Anyway, here's what I need from you guys:

[Poll #1445316]

If it won't let you vote in the poll, make sure you're logged into LJ. If you don't have a LJ account, just leave me a comment on this post. Anon comments are allowed. Thanks!!

Please don't suggest subject matter yet... I'm easily overwhelmed. Not joking about that.

Hi to all my new friends, btw, many of whom I met at the Panic!/No Doubt show in San Diego a little over a week ago. \o/ Welcome to my insanity/obsession, such as it is.

I got tagged by i_am_tre, whom I adore completely.

Pick 10 people and give them the "you make my day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own.

I totally get what everyone's saying about it being impossible to narrow it down to 10. Even though I'm not really in contact with a lot of my f-list, I still think pretty much everyone on it is awesome.

I'm not real big on Valentine's Day, but I am big on making sure my friends know I love them, so:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Also, if you haven't seen the newish video by Plain White T's for their song "1, 2, 3, 4" you really must. It's perfect for Valentine's Day.

I don't suppose any of my Los Angeles area friends would be willing to let me crash at their place for one night, would they? Thursday the 31st. Turns out my usual place to stay in SoCal - my uncle's house in Orange - is already 'booked.' My aunt initially said I could stay with them anyway, but they changed their mind... decided it would be uncomfortable for their other guests. Which is understandable. But I already purchased my theater ticket to see Long Way Down in Century City.

I'll only lose $11 on the ticket if I can't make it after all (and I'll save about $100 in gas money), but I was going to that theater so I could meet Jimmy Simak - the gorgeous guy in my icon. He's one of the directors of photography on Long Way Down as well as the music supervisor, and we've gotten to be friends online over the past couple of years (since I first saw him and his work in Long Way Round, actually), and now I finally have a chance to meet him in person. I wrote and asked him about me coming to the screening he'll be at, and got the most awesome, encouraging and sweet email back from him. Awwwwww.

I'm looking at hotels down there, but I'm just not sure I can justify the cost. I don't know. Anyway, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask my f-list for ideas, or see if anyone in the area has a spare bit of floor I can sleep on.
