and the side you never get to see is alive, comes alive

[chicafrom3]

...I move into my new apartment on Monday, start work on Tuesday, rehearsals officially start on the next Saturday and oh my LORD what am I doing I can't be an adult *hides*

No, seriously! I told my mom that there's a 50/50 chance of me surviving this or drowning completely, and she told me there's no chance of me drowning, and fifteen seconds later is talking about all the ways I'm like to fail, like my extreme difficulty motivating myself to do things I don't want to do, and how hard it is for me to talk to people, and how standing up for myself is something that happens erratically, and all that and you know I'm going to drown trying to do this.




Snagged from super_kc:
Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon(s) of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon. Repost it if you want, if not just let me have fun looking through your icons to tell you my favorite(s).

I have a lot of trouble picking my one favorite icon, and it varies from hour to hour, but right now this is it because a) Once love and b) I really like the way the coloring turned out.

Well, at least I'll be learning to be an adult at the exact same time (Evie and I move into our apartment on Saturday), so at the very least we can flail at each other? It's... something. (The really ridiculous thing is, I haven't told my parents I'm moving. Or that I have an apartment. Or anything. I should really... do that...) Responsible adulthood is terrifying.

I would also very much like to know your favorite icons of mine. 'Cause I'm a dork. ^^

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

At least we'll all be flailing together! Uh, assuming I somehow manage to have Internet prior to my first paycheck. With any luck, someone in the building will have unsecured wireless that I can hack into! Why can't we stay little kids forever? I was a messed-up little kid, but at least I wasn't a messed-up little kid who was expected to pretend to be a responsible adult!


Icons!

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

God, I know! Just... really want to be a little kid again. I still am, damn it! *Flails* Yeah, one bright side of this is that internet is going to be set up on the day we move in, so no flailing over that for me... Though yes. What apartment building/complex does not have an unsecured wireless network floating around somewhere? Come on.

Eeehee! Those are some of my favorites too. (And yes, it makes me ridiculously happy that all but one of them I made. ...I'm conceited that way.) I think it especially pleases me that me, Evie and dreamsofstars are not the only ones amused by that "negotiating with terrorists" icon.

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Three months ago I was still a kid in school and other people were worrying about this stuff! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? That's what I'm counting on!

The "negotiating with terrorists" icon is brilliant and I cackle madly every time I see it. XD

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Damn it, I'm still supposed to be in school, and would be if it weren't for my school administration arranging for me to be kidnapped by mental health professionals this time last year (no, seriously). I am so not ready for this.

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

I'm just waiting for my alma mater to contact me and be like "Uh, yeah, you haven't technically graduated because [insert obscure reasoning here]. No degree for you, sorry!" Because. It would be just like them.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Ahah. Yeah. I so don't trust pretty much any university after the shit my school pulled last year... and are still pulling. *Headdesk* At this rate, I've no idea when I'll be able to go back to school. Fuck adulthood. So hard.

(And you've just reminded me I need a TTB icon for my "fuck adulthood" moods. It's very good for that.)

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

TTB is the perfect "fuck adulthood" reference. Trufax. And it's also the reason why I'll probably have some incredible panic attacks on the eve of my 30th birthday, assuming I live that long.

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

*clings* *flails with you*

Yeah, I fail at having encouraging and helpful things to say, but will hugs and love suffice for now?

And yay icon memes!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Hugs and love are VERY welcome! *clings* *flails more*


Yay, icons! I swear icon memes are what get me through the week.


And an honorable mention 'cause I don't really know who these people are but it makes me laugh:

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

Hee! Icon memes are much love indeed.

*giggles* That last one's of Hodgins and Zack from Bones, my silly guilty pleasure forensics show (I hate shows like that normally). They are geeky, crazy boys and I love them.

(And awww yay for support of the "wall" icon. I love that icon. XD)

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

My dad watches pretty much all the forensics and other crime-related dramas, so I've seen at least one episode of most of them. I think. Bones is the one with the cute girl as the forensics expert who everybody thinks has no feelings or something?

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

Well, she has no feelings, but, yeah, that's probably it. It's actually about forensic anthropology which makes it different from every other forensics show. XD (Which I think is why I like it, just like I like House for focusing on weird cases and not being so relationship-focused as the other medical dramas out there.)

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

That's the one! I think I liked the few episodes of it I've seen, I just don't remember all that much about it.

...which is pretty much how I feel about House as well, come to think of it. When I happen to see an episode I enjoy it, I just wind up not remembering anyone's names and not going out of my way to watch it. o.0

[ronniekins77.livejournal.com]

I love icon memes! I'd love to know your favorites of mine! <333

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

-- I have no idea what it's from but it's hilarious.

[ronniekins77.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! Yay that you like them. :)

That first one is from an episode ER, actually. :)

[morgeil.livejournal.com]

Ooh, icon meme. Domedomedome! XD

BTW, the ones you made don't count... ;)

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Spoilersport. :P ;D

[ninja-headcrab.livejournal.com]

*steals*

The icons of Rassilon... HEEEE!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Memememe! :D

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...


XD

[foughtthewar.livejournal.com]

you'll be okay, sugarface. i love you and you're much stronger than you think. let me know if the boy!roomate is a cutie. *shifty* but don't tell the boyfriend that i asked. k? k.

also, i am only just a phone call or e-mail away, provided my stolen intranetz holds out.

and just in case that pep talk wasn't inspirational enough:

just in case



read those as a message. ;)

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

I love you so much. <3 And in a month you'll probably be getting a sobbing phone call from me about the fact that I'm drowning, but knowing that you're there to catch me makes it a lot better.

*hugs*

*love*

[foughtthewar.livejournal.com]

um, excuse me ma'am. but i had better damn well be getting a phone call BEFORE that month is up.

in fact, i better be getting one in the next five minutes or i send this:

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but hopefully it'll be about a month before I'm sobbing about how I can't do this and I'm drowning and please come save me!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

My prediction:

Once the newness of it all wears off and you settle into your new groove, you are gonna love being captain of your own ship! You're not gonna sink, you're gonna SOAR! :D

That would be so much more inspirational-sounding if I hadn't just mixed my sailing-ships/soaring-planes (or birds) metaphors. :S But still! Hopefully the meaning got across my tossed salad of metaphors anyway! ;)

And you don't have to do my icons if you'd rather not 'cause I know I have a lot of "ZOMGMYEYES!" ships and characters in there for you, lol! ;) If I can ever get myself in gear and finish the icon post I'm putting together, I'm going to swap out a bunch of the older ones. However, I have no doubt that the new ones will be about as terminally uncool as my present batch, lol! ;) Once a mainstream geek, always a mainstream geek, I suppose! ;)

*squishes you liek woah* ♥!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Giving my own terminally-mixed-metaphors I can hardly fault you. XD And your message was plenty inspirational! *tacklehug*

And icon meme anyway, because everyone deserves some icon glee. :D



*smishes back*!!! ♥♥♥

[ninja-headcrab.livejournal.com]

*further stealing*

[starletfallen.livejournal.com]

Tag for the meme

Also, don't worry about the adultness thing. AUBREY AND I ARE STRIKING OUT ON OUR OWN ONLY DAYS BEFORE YOU! YOU CAN DOOOOO IIIIIT!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

You guys are gonna be my inspiration! Just so y'know there's no pressure! ;D No, kidding, we'll all make it as adults, together! Right?

Icons!

[starletfallen.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm fond of them all as well.

The Toly icon was made special for me. Because Aubrey and I were talking about how when Toly sings "She can't be working for them-- I mean us" it's like he's saying "I R SOVIET! RLY!!!! *shifty eyes*"

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what it's like! *laughs* He's awesome, but a total dork. <3

...why do I not have a Tolya icon? Hmm.

[assiduous1.livejournal.com]

We need to pick a date for me to visit you! You'll do fine hun! You'll do fine by necessity!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

We'll pick a date! As soon as I have a real work schedule I'll let you know and we'll figure something out.

I'm not sure necessity is enough to keep me abovewater...

[assiduous1.livejournal.com]

aw! you'll be doing what you love! you'll be amazing!

[neutralalienist.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Things like this all seem scary at first, I think - but once you face it, it becomes easier and easier to handle. Sometimes being tossed head in is the best way to tackle your issues, and I don't see why you wouldn't be successful.

...What is it with mothers and their giving you emotional whiplash. :p

Yay, pretty pictures!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping that I can make it through the adjustment period. Living on my own except for rooming with a total stranger! Having a real proper job! Paying bills! *hides* Why can't I stay a kid forever?

Yay, icons! XD

[ninja-headcrab.livejournal.com]

You'll be fine, this is fact. Part of living is the fear of failing followed by joy or succeeding.

:)

That wasn't very convicing was it...

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

I'm not easy to convince! I'd rather just, y'know, avoid the fear of failure altogether. *hides under the bed*

But I appreciate the thought. *hugs*


Are you volunteering to be part of the icon meme? *shifty eyes*

[ninja-headcrab.livejournal.com]

Uhmm there isa mem e... I was drawn to the pretty pictures :P


*thinks of way to convince you that you will be fine*

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

My favorite of your current icons:

Although I must admit I'm also partial to



...and it can't be done, sry to say.

[ninja-headcrab.livejournal.com]

Ha! I love those two hardcore! Actually the penguin one is taken from a wallpaper, want?

And I'll think of a way *ponderponderponder*

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Yes pls, do want!

And ponder all you want, but it remains impossible.

[rainshaded]

Meep. *hugs you* I imagine I'll be much the same when I go to uni.

Icon meme?

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

I feel like that Avenue Q song. "I wish that I could go back to college..."

Icons!
