Things of interest: (because I once again can not be bothered to write a normal, coherent entry ;-)



• The new X-Men 2 trailer is fantastic, and has many glorious closeups of Nightcrawler. Mmmm. Not sure if I like the CGI for his teleporting, as there is no smoke and the graphics look a bit like silly string, but I'm sure I will adapt. I don't hate XenArwen after all. *grins* (However, if there is no BAMF sound I will a very unhappy bunny indeed.)
  
  
• There is going to be a new My Little Pony film! Wheeee! And yes, I do realize I am much, much too old to be excited about this. But I don't care! :D
  
  
• Books are good for you. :)
  
  
• I have a ticket to see Sir Ian 'I'm too sexy for my sexual preference' Mckellen in Dance of Death next thursday. GO ME! *does the Happy Nevvie dance*
  
  
• And finally...I have The Last Unicorn on dvd! Not a rip-off copy from Ebay, or even the German version, this is an authentic, brand new British dvd of the best animated film ever. Oh happy, happy day. :))

I'm secretly getting married again, didn't you know? ;) ROFLMAO

Don't you read woman - my friends Fe and Shawn, are getting married and have asked me to do their wedding invitations. Their colours are silver and purple (dark, royal purple), so I am trying to stay in that colour scheme whilst begging them to change to dark blue (so much easier! rofl). They are doing a somewhat "celtic/ren/medieval/fantasy" theme - they liked this idea: http://www.oliviastationery.co.uk/dragon.html But these are a bit cost prohibitive for their budget (and me making them, I can give them as a gift). Of course, we have come up with something completely different, only using some of the basic ideas from this design. We will be using purple ink on a silver cardstock for the invite ( http://www.marcopaper.com/stardream.htm - I used the "saphire" colour for envelopes for my christmas cards this past year - exisquite paper!!!!) - either will use a custom drawn dragon (Eric does them, but he's so swamped with school and everything right now, I don't think he will have time) or other dragon (in dingbat font form) on the front (corner) with some other detail (possibly their names, not sure) in a celtic-ish font they have chosen. Open the invite, and on the inside printed on white cloud vellum in purple, will be the wedding details, probably with the claddagh (this is what her engagement ring is) at the top and simple line border - this will be attached to the card. I want something simple, yet elegant. We will see how it goes. I might decide to add more detail to the inside - a celtic looking border (knotwork) or something, but I do not want to take too much away from the important details (words). Of course this could all change - was thinking of doing a claddagh on front with the words "with these two hands I give you my heart and crown it with love" and doing a simple line border on the inside with the dragon on the bottom corner, or a dragon "watermarked" on the vellum with printing over it.

But I don't want to start anything until my envelopes are on the way. I THINK I might have found a supplier for them - we've been emailing back and forth today, and she is going to send me samples of her purple colours - so yay! We will see!

I did my sister's wedding stationary ensemble a couple of years ago - ooh boy, what a job that was - all handstamped and embossed. But these will mean more to me - my sister is a little bitch. Shawn and Fe are two of the most special people in my life - so I really want these to be perfect.

*squosh*

Mmmm silver and purple, my favourite! Your friends have excellent taste. :)

Yeah, but just try to find damn deep purple envelopes! I tried to suggest they go with a dark blue ;)

Gah, it's nerve racking!

And LJ is being a butt. ugh.
