Reasons to be cheerful one two three – Day 4

1.      Had my eyes tested and as suspected my prescription has changed quite a lot in 2 years. The good news is I managed to find the exact same frames I have now (which I am more than happy with) so I’ve ordered 2 pairs on a 2 for 1 offer. The price all in (lenses, tints, varifocals x2) is still £10 cheaper than the only frames I liked in the shop where I got my eyes tested. And that was before that opticians added on the £210 cost of the lenses! Ha ha you’re having a laugh, Vision Express, mate. Spec Savers it is then.

2.     SDMB summaries are up! And apart from the fact I’ll be amazed if any artist wants to pick my fic – bloody hell my summary sucks – I’ve managed to get my shortlist of 3. Well 4 really with another 3 that could have been on my list, but I’m not changing my mind again. There were literally only 2 summaries that I thought, nope, I would want to touch that one. So much delicious candy to pick from! Yum.

3.     I think I’ve finished my spn_j2_xmas fill. And the nice thing about that is, I can leave it for a while and come back to it fresh to see if I’m right or not – there’s so much time! Plus if I think about it a bit more I might be able to illustrate it as well.

Can totally empathize with trying to find the right frames and getting a good price. Glad you got the ones you want!

And wow, you are way ahead of the curve - congrats on finishing the Xmas fill :D

It was one of those things, I read the prompt and a fic popped into my head. Now of course I'm TOO far ahead of the curve so have too much time to start second guessing and thinking maybe I should do something else! LOL

Claim a bunch at SDMB and get to work on the RBB! If that doesn't keep you busy enough...I don't know how you do it! :P

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Done two RBBs already... One of the joys of being unemployed!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'd love to but I've got 2 bang arts to finish and tomorrow I'll be picking up a nice juicy SDMB.. *wink*

Er, I knew I'd out my other journal at some point! Could you screen or delete that comment? :P

Oh wait, just remembered I could do it. LOL

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh! I was wondering who the hell that was! I thought some random person had just jumped into our conversation. I am very slow on the uptake sometimes... LOL

I only log into the other account for one thing. I really should complete the transition to this account to make it easier on myself. It's not a big deal if people know about it - I just don't want to leave an obvious paper trail :P

Obviously being curious I had a quick shufty - that manip tutorial looks useful! Of course, I have no idea how to use masks in PS though - I really must sort that out .

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

Ha! I don't blame you; I'd be more than a little curious too if I learned someone had a sekrit journal.

That's why I cleaned up my profile and locked the posts ;) I only use it to moderate an event. No need to leave everything else hanging out. I did leave the manip tutorial because it's been linked to and I'm rather proud of it.

MASKS! Yes, do learn it. It takes 2 seconds and might save your butt some day.

And oh, I only realized on my last visit how pretentious my journal title sounds :p It was only inspired by the character in my journal design!

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

That's an awesome list!!!!!

I enjoyed reading all the summaries!!! Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow :-)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Have you written anything for it?

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Why yes, yes indeed!!!! One of them there summaries is mine!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Cool beans....wonder if yours is one on my list...

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

SO EXCITED ABOUT SUMMARIES.

*wants to hear all about your shortlist*

oh my gosh. I can't believe you've already finished your xmas gift. I've been so wrapped up in my SDMB that I haven't even *thought* of anything else...

and there is lots to do!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it either but it's telling me it's done. Of course when I get feedback from a beta it might be a different story...

Heh heh my SDMB shortlist - at the moment it doesn't include any Genfic. If I tell you more I'll have to shoot you.

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Hey. When my muse tells me a story is done, I try to listen :D

*backs up with her hands up*

can't wait to see what everyone picks tomorrow!! SO EXCITED. IS IT TOMORROW YET *bounces*

Congrats on finishing your spn_j2_xmas fill! I love when I have time to let a piece sit for a while before posting.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! As long as it doesn't fester...LOL!

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

Congrats on all those things!
There's so much hurt!Sam in this year's SDMB!

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

Yeah now I'm in. I have no willpower at all.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! (And I hear you on the will power thing. I am in the same boat...)

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Here I was thinking that I was doing well with a simple idea for my xmas fic and you've written yours!! Well, if that's not motivation to get mine started I don't know what is!

It's a great feeling knowing that you have a first draft. Well done you (I'm totally not jealous at all!!!)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

it's very unlike me - I don't know what happened!
