Mostly Friends Only
This journal is mostly friends only. If you're really willing to end up on my friends list, please check my interests on the profile page and leave a comment on one of my public entries telling me a bit about you. We should at least have some things in common.


What is this journal about? Mainly fan stuff, bits and pieces from my daily life and whatever I consider worth writing about. I try to avoid drama, but sometimes life's a bitch, so a little whining here and there will most likely happen. But this is supposed to be fun, so I won't linger on those darker grounds for too long.

If you are here for the graphics resources I used to make, this entry will help you find what you're looking for. Enjoy your stay!

Icons: TV Series, Films, Cartoons & Nature  
While I don't post my icons to communities anymore - no one paid any attention anyway - I'd still like to make them available one way or another. There aren't many considering my last icon post is already over a year old, but I'm running out of icon spaces and there just wasn't enough to inspire me.

TV Series: Star Trek TNG, Once Upon a Time, Babylon 5
Films: King Kong, Miss Austen Regrets, Nyfes, Hachiko: A Dog's Story

  • TV Series:  11x
  • Films:  6x
  • Cartoons:  8x
  • Nature and Animals:  7x

Concerning Tigers  
I've finally managed to complete my Calvin & Hobbes scans. It took me long enough; sorry about that. The images from volume 3 of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes are now available over here.
I've also added galleries for both the medium and large sized versions, just in case someone doesn't want to download an entire package without knowing what they'll get.

Since MegaUpload has been shut down and my stupid server refuses to take files larger than 50 MB, I've moved the big RAR packages to Minus. I'm getting decent download speed there, between 400 and 500 KB/s, and I hope it'll work okay for others as well. Let me know if there's a problem.

Enjoy the Cuteness!

Northern Lights  
I've never seen northern lights in reality, but it's one of the things I'd love to experience first hand. Someone posted the following link on a forum and I thought I'd share because it's absolutely breathtaking (though the music is horrible).

2012 Books  
My only true resolution this year is to read more, and to encourage me in doing that, my books get an entry of their own now instead of just being listed in my 2012 Scrapbook.

30 books probably don't look like much to many of you, but for me it's a lot and means I'm attempting to double last year's amount of books. I have to rediscover the passionate bookworm I used to be, but I'm taking it step by step.

2012 Scrapbook  
Think about the year that has passed. All the memories, the entries and posts that made the year special. Think about all your past layouts, default icons, mood themes or whatever you consider worth remembering. The 2010 Scrapbook Post is a way to help you remember all of that, in a single post.

That's what you will find here: my equipment and desktops, currents, my monthly entertainment favourites, links to picspams, links to entries worth remembering (my own as well as posts from others), lists, my default userpics, screenshots of past layouts, new discoveries, books I've read and the yearly resolutions which I won't keep anyway.

Calvin & Hobbes Scans  
I've just started to scan all the single page images from The Complete Clavin and Hobbes. You know, those lovely watercolur paintings, not the comic strips themselves. I promised that to someone but I don't remember who. Anyway, I want to share them with you, and I hope there are some Calvin & Hobbes fans on my friends list. I've already finished scanning Volume 1; Volume 2 and 3 will follow soon and be added to this post.

You can choose between 2 options. The original scans are huge, 3000px or more high/wide. They might be useful for desktop backgrounds or the like. There's also a package with medium sized images (at least 1000px high/wide) which are sufficient for icons or smaller graphics.
Please read the rules at the bottom of this post!

Thank you for the lovely Finnish Christmas Gnome card, [info]redbossfan. :o) That really came as a surprise since I haven't seen you around here in quite some time.

Because I Have Nothing Else to Do  
Storm Joachim gives me headaches. Time for a television meme; I haven't done any of those in ages. Stolen from [info]anja25ive and [info]at_midnight. Sue me. ;o)
