neverwhereI just listened to My Immortal, by Evanescence. Everyone who's been waxing lyrical about it on their journals (and, wow, there certainly were alot of you) are absolutely right -- it's an absolutely beautiful song. I have no idea who this groups is (are they big in America? I'm sure it makes a pleasant change from those insipid boy bands) but I think I will have to go out and buy all their albums immediately.
I have such gorgeous friends. I saw pictures today of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misslunakitty, who has mind blowing green eyes and looks like she just stepped out of a 1950's pinup calendar, and brandybuck, who is just as cute as can be -- playful, hobbity, and utterly adorable. I could go on (trianne has a dazzling smile as bright as a Silmaril, xendragon's a total hottie...etc etc), but I think you all know that you're beautiful. And even if you don't, trust me, you ARE. :)
Yesterday’s stroll around Covent Garden was quite diverting -- I found a stunning purple velvet coat that I simply must buy when I have the chance (i.e. after I rob a bank) and listened to the wackiest String Quartet in the world. The violinists would dance about and do a little jig while playing things like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, it was so enchanting to see them having such fun, and making classical music entertaining for all the wandering tourists. I'm sure if children were introduced to classical music in that manner, they wouldn't disdain it so much.
And now, because I'm bored and can't think of anything else to say -- My Icons Explained.
Keyword: Happily Ever After
Schmendrick the Magician and Molly Grue from the best film ever, The Last Unicorn. (Okay okay, best film apart from all the other ones I love and adore. Heh. ;-) The quote is from the book/film, and I think it's beautiful. This is a pensive/content sort of icon.
Keyword: Otters are cute and fuzzy.
Because they are! I love otters. They're so me -- playful, clever, funloving, and occasionally very clumsy. Yep, that's me all over. *grins*
Keyword: Pippin Smirk
It's Pip! Making an adorable face that is smug, yet clueless. Ahhhhh, how I love him! As the keyword suggests, this is my snarky icon.
Keyword: Tig! Tag! Drop your trousers!
One of only two remaining original icons, this is a fanart picture of Pippin playing Tig, probably with me. Oh yes. Play with me Pip...*giggles* My bouncy/happy/squeeful icon.
Keyword: Molly and the Unicorn
Molly Grue comforting/being comforted by the Unicorn. My sad/showing love for others icon.
Keyword: Here in my Head.
Tori Amos picture and lyric. I love Tori. A thoughtful/melancholy sort of icon.
Keyword: Have a seat while I take to the sky
My newest and current default icon. I love this one! I've been meaning to use this Tori lyric for ages, but I could never find the right picture. Inspiration hit me yesterday, and this lovely icon was born. It's an everything emotion, because this is how I feel.
Keyword: Psycho Bunny
Hee! I'm cute. I'm scary. FEAR ME! :D
Keyword: I'm so cute
Yep, that's me. Aren't I adorable? :)
Keyword: Neverwhere
Screencap from the opening sequence of the Neverwhere BBC series. I am Neverwhere. I have been for 7 years now, I don't feel like changing. *grins*
Well, that was fun, wasn't it? *grins impishly*

Date: 2003-03-12 04:46 pm (UTC)Ive never been described as a hottie before o.O plenty of other adjectives but never a hottie!
I like your icons, theyre very deep :P
And finally, velvet things rule! How much is the coat and is it long etc etc?
no subject
Date: 2003-03-12 04:52 pm (UTC)Oh, but you are! (I'm sure Timmy calls you that, and a lot more...;-)
The coat went down to my ankles and was a deep, rich velvet. Mmmm. 69 quid though. Bleaugh! The stupid seller wouldn't haggle with me either, the big meanie. *giggles*

Date: 2003-03-12 05:19 pm (UTC)Your Tori icons are great. It's nice to know someone else who says, "I love Tori." Most of my friends don't get my obsession. *cough* 118 items in my Tori playlist *cough* I love her voice and piano-playing, and even though her lyrics often don't make sense, in some crazy way they do make sense. Ah heck, you know what I mean.
I've read The Last Unicorn, ages ago. Should read again sometime. Have never seen the movie though. *hides*
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and *schnoogles*. I bought a CD from a string quartet in Covent Garden last time I was there. Was it four guys in their 20s? That's who I saw.
YAY TORI!
Date: 2003-03-13 02:46 pm (UTC)Tori owns me. Heh. :)
I don't think we saw the exact same people (as there were two women), but I'm pretty certain that they were students from the Royal Academy (or somewhere like that) so it's more than likely you bought the same CD. *grins*
I'm adorable! *blushes happily* :D

Date: 2003-03-12 06:06 pm (UTC)And re: Evanescence--their new album struck big because "My Immortal" and "Bring Me to Life" were the best things about the movie Daredevil. I made my whole huge gigantic icon songset 'cause every time I listened carefully to words, those images from LOTR popped into my head (most particularly the pendant for "your presence still lingers here," Frodo on Weathertop for "these wounds won't seem to heal," and the Ring/Gollum for "your voice it chased away/all the sanity in me"). I couldn't stop 'em, so I made an icon set. Ha.
And I'm sure someone said that already, but I haven't read the other comments yet, so nyah.
I just had coffee. coffee coffee coffee coffee coffeeeeeee

You're going to be in London this weekend??

Date: 2003-03-14 03:13 pm (UTC)So I suppose the much, moch shorter answer would be: I personally would live to, but use of time and itinerary are not so much up to me. If you want to e-mail (etoilepb@livejournal.com) or IM (etoilepaix) me tomorrow morning to see if we can work something out, we can at least try... (I'll be getting up around 8 my time which is ::thinks:: 1 in the afternoon for you).

Meep! Your icons are fantastic :) Though I mus tadmit to being scared witless by The Last Unicorn as a child -- thought the red bull would come and eat me in my sleep. Then they turned into an energy drink. Which I refuse to tocuh :)
Re:
Date: 2003-03-14 01:36 pm (UTC)Wheeee! Thanks for the compliment schnugglepumpkin. *smooch*
The Red Bull still scares me -- both the drink and the beast. ;-)
Greetings and salutations!
Date: 2003-03-14 02:03 pm (UTC)I love your icons and will probably be stealing the explanation idea. :)
Tig! Tag! - Hee!
By the way, I read your user info, and I wanted to let you know that I too have been someone else for a long time, but discovered that name was taken on LJ and had to resort to something else. I usually use the name Aldalin. I made it up so many years ago I'd have to think hard to remember... I used the dictionary of Tolkien's languages to come up with it. It means Tree-song in Sindarin.

Date: 2003-03-21 05:14 am (UTC)I like "Fields of Innocence" and "Bring me to Life" by them as well. "Bring Me to Life" is on the Daredevil CD along with My Immortal.
Um. I'm so a groupie already... disturbing...
