LJ chose an odd assortment of icons to keep now that my paid account has expired; I've managed to shave it down to my six favourites, though.

Today was a write-off: I slept for something like twelve hours (seriously, body, this is getting ridiculous) and then went to the Myer sale with a friend and wandered around feeling increasingly more and more bitter about my lack of employment. Sigh. I ended up making a couple of purchases, though -- some American chocolate (Three Musketeers bar! <333) and a pair of Diana Ferrari sunglasses, because I've decided to stop sulking about the death of my last pair of sunnies and actually do something about protecting my eyes.

I'm sorry I'm not talking about anything fannish any more, flist. I'm not really fannishly active at all; I'm writing a few things when I have the time, but that's the sum of it. I DID finally get to watch the Avatar finale, though, and I loved it to pieces except for one thing, which was how Azula's character was handled. Now, you all know how much I love Azula's character, and I was disappointed that they snapped her so quickly and clumsily. To go from being an intelligent, psychopathic, snarky warrior princess to a petty, delusional mess should have taken far, far more time than was allotted to it. And it should have had better justification: sure, I can buy her becoming paranoid because of Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal and her father's decision to leave her at home, but Azula is not stupid and she keeps control, and it was such a pity that her downfall -- while fitting, considering the overall arc of the show -- was so rushed and implausible.

BUT EVERYONE ELSE WAS GREAT, ESPECIALLY TOPH AND SOKKA AND THE KICKASS WHITE LOTUS MEMBERS AND THE DEUS EX LIONTURTLE. AND TY LEE 'BONDED' WITH THE KYOSHI WARRIORS IN PRISON AND WAS THE HAPPIEST LITTLE LESBIAN EVER. AND THERE WERE MAIKOUTS. HURRAH.

ETA: New sunnies = good excuse to finally do the meme where you take a picture of yourself, right? I am attempting something new, namely hotlinking from Facebook, because a) no more paid account, and b) Photobucket hates my college firewall.

If only your hand weren't obviously holding the camera, it would look like a paparazzi picture. awesome.

I really need a webcam for memes like this :D

I CRIED INCONSOLABLY AT ZUKO AND IROH'S REUNION, I WIN AT LAME. Also, your picture does not work.

...maybe there's something preventing it from appearing in the UK/your computer in particular? It's still showing up on mine.

It might just be that I'm not logged in to Facebook.

I agree entirely about Azula in the finale. I don't think it's an implausible arc to take her on, or even a bad one, but the speed of it made it feel that way.

Becca (I think) pointed out that it would have felt less rushed if the same thing had been shown as four separate episodes instead of one big quasi-movie, and I think she's right. But even so it would have been quick, and with it shown as it was... yeah. They really should have taken more time with that development, or else not had it go so dramatically far in the same amount of time.

The only redeeming moment was when she attacked Katara to force Zuko to put himself in the way of the lightning. That was a very Azula thing to do. (And Katara's subsequent pwnage was pretty awesome, I must admit.)

D: I hate losing my icons... *so addicted, omg*

I also have images disabled when I'm at work in case I come across a page with OMG BOYSEXX!! and I don't want to traumatize my coworkers or lose my job >_>;;; so I can't see your picture D: but I will plan to swing by again after work, huzzah!


...someone totally beat me to renewing your paid account =__= next time!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I am going to save re-uploading my icons for a SPECIAL TREAT TO MYSELF if I get all my work done today, I think. Eeeeee.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

huh, weird, Photobucket LOVES me, and we're under the same firewall.

Also, nice sunnies.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

I thought you were anti-big sunglasses!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I thought I was too! But these ones do not COMPLETELY swallow my face, and they are not brown (I dislike brown, in sunglasses) and I actually kind of like them.
