I Think My Brain Died...

[rusty_armour]

I don't know what's wrong with me. I haven't wanted to do anything today. I just can't seem to concentrate. I didn't even have the attention span to finish reading a fic. Granted, it wasn't the best story in the world, but it was hurt/comfort. That's totally my kink! *sigh* Well, I actually managed to do some dishes and cook something for supper. Oh, and I made two new icons. Well, one of them totally sucks, so I'm not sure if I'll even have the heart to prolong its sorry existence on my hard drive. I think I'll have to put it down.

I wonder what killed my poor brain. Is it because I've spent too much time in PSP 8 this weekend? Was it the four hours I spent writing slash yesterday morning. Can you lose brain cells by just writing about sex? Ah, man! I've really got to go back to genfic!

BTW I want to say a big HELLO to my good friends anitamaid and alysscarlet! Yes, it's really me. Honest! *g*

As far as I'm concerned, chocolate is *always* relevant! We should totally go on a chocolate exchange programme! :-)

I'm glad you don't think that writing Slash can kill your brain cells, though our mutual friend Grond has got me kind of worried. *g*

PSP 8 is Paint Shop Pro 8. It's a lot like Photoshop, though obviously different because of the different name and all. Anyway, PSP 8 came with my computer (on a free trial basis), so I thought I'd try it out. I just hope that I can give it up when the free trial ends in a month. Maybe by then I'll have made enough icons to get it out of my system.

So how much is it if you sign up? The PSP thingy that is ;)

About the Chocolate exchange programme: I read your entry on or around Valentines day and thought it would be an interesting programme;) Spread the chocolate love around the world....

It is *your* Herne Bear, isn't it? The one I've met? He's just too cute;)

It looks like Paint Shop Pro 8 has now become Paint Shop Pro X. If you go to www.corel.com (http://www.corel.com) and click under Norway, it should give you the info you need. It seems a wee bit pricey for € 119, but I suppose it would be worth it if you were planning to use it a lot.

I thought you might have read my scary Valentine's Day entry when you brought up the idea for a chocolate exchange programme. I think it would be *brilliant* and oh-so-yummy! Yes, chocolate love should be a global phenomenon!

I accidentally missed your other P.S. comment about my Herne Bear icon. It is indeed *my* Herne Bear, the very Herne Bear you've met in the flesh, er, fur. As if there could ever be any *other* Herne Bear! *g* I'm so glad you like the icon. It's my first attempt to paste one picture (e.g. Herne Bear) into a different picture (e.g. a snapshot of Leigh Woods). It turned out a lot better than I thought it would and I was pleasantly surprised by the results.

Speaking of icons, I think yours is adorable! He looks like Sindre...And if it *is* Sindre, I'm going to be *so* embarrassed. *g*

Oh my Herne! I keep forgetting! Congratulations! I read in your LJ that you were expecting again and neglected to say anything! Sorry about that. It's wonderful news and I'm sure that your whole family is very excited! :-)

It is Sindre;) It is an icon that Alison made for me about a year ago (out of a photo that I think I took;)...

As for expecting - it's early days yet, but I just had to eh tell my LJ... We're all very excited and hope it works out well! *crosses fingers*

My first thought was that it might be Sindre! I should have gone with my gut! *g* I kept comparing your icon to that beautiful Christmas card you sent me. I guess my confusion stemmed from the fact that Sindre has grown a bit since the icon photo. I also wondered if the icon design might have been Alys' work. It really is a thing of beauty.

My thoughts will be with you, the baby and your family. Even though it's early days, I don't blame you for wanting to write about it in your LJ. I really hope everything works out. :-)
