She's Come Undone (pt2) and I'm not feeling too good myself

[red_satin_doll]

Voting is up NOW for otherworldlyric challenge 173. 10 fabulous entries and at least one or two Willow/Angel shippy icons. Nifty.

Entries for round 1 of btvsats20in20 are due June 4 but there are some fantastic entries in the meantime to enjoy. I am nearly done with my entries (and a little nervous about the quality because DAMN, there are some fantastic entries in this thing.)

I just have to chose favorite moment. And master the icon table template. And maybe redo another blending icon. Or settle for one of the ones I made today. How hard can that be, right?

And I am FREAKING OUT just a little.

I am also going blind.

Not literally but the moment when I stopped being able to see the little pixels on the screen clearly and my eyes are blurring from sitting here too long? I passed that exit 10 miles back, with no turnaround.

I thought I was going to have a hard time coming up with ideas for this. My problem is coming up with too damn many. Oy vey. I'm lovin' it btw but - break time, way past.

So while I step away - I asked kikimay the other day about posting some other variations of my Buffy/Come Undone artwork and she said she would be interested. I'm trying to convince myself that it's ok to show this stuff off and I won't get any better as an artist hiding my stuff in a dresser drawer, so to speak.  (But why do I still feel weird about it? Aside from the needing food and all that jazz...)

Oh god, that too! I think I can go a few hours longer with fic though - all night on several occasions. Whereas making icons? HOLY SWEET POTATOES THE PIXELS.

I used to not know how to do anything about it so I was rather cheerful about the crudeness of my art. Now? Not so much.

Be happy you have good eyes then :P I wear glasses but I still can't read in the dark without the letters becoming very tiny.

Oh honey I've been wearing glasses for everything near and far since I was in the third grade, at least. Now I have to take them off to read and hold the book close to my face - time to get new glasses.

I still can't read in the dark without the letters becoming very tiny.

Didn't your mama warn you about reading in the dark? *lol*

No. Is this common knowledge? :P

My mom constantly scolded me for reading in the dark - you know, late at night, in the closet with a flashlight, the way one does when they're supposed to be in bed. Now that I'm older, I need lots of light to be able to read. Mama knew best.
