Friday woo hoo!

Yay: New layout! [livejournal.com profile] casa_mcshep! SPN 4.13 (boyyyys)! Getting orangey Rodneylike yarn! Surviving yesterday! Aside from a 6-hour power outage yesterday afternoon, life has treated my kindly the past two days.

I think the best part, though, is just finally, finally being able to get things done beyond the bare minimum required to satisfy people. After a year--really longer, but the past year has been notable for its awfulness--of torpor and feeling lousy and chronically exhausted, having some get-up-and-go is such a relief.

To celebrate, a meme! Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] telesilla: Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.

[tags are here! And hey, if you have a question about the art, for that matter, ask it! I like talking about teh arts.]

My great money-burning addictions are nice-smelling body gel and yarn *siiigh* I can't wait to have actual disposable income :D

As for pandas, I always imagine them just lazing about happily :D Their lives are pretty quiet, except for the time a tourist decides he wants to give Rodney a hug, and Rodney bellows and hollers and carries on, because really, how stupid is it to climb into a wild animal's cage and if this is the best humanity has to offer, clearly it's time for another species to take over the planet.

"Pockets" was [livejournal.com profile] dogeared's Painted Spires prompt (she is v. inspirational) *g*) I wanted to do something large, but I also wanted to write a little story, not just have "these are some things that are in Rodney's pockets." And it occurred to me that a wallpaper might be fun to do, just a little, sweet one-page story that can fit on someone's desktop. It actually took some work to get the story compressed enough to fit in about four panels, but it was a lot of fun... And manipping the boys into a kiss is always awesome :D
