Planning to do your part to help boost the declining publishing industry this holiday? Better check here first. Sure, there are plenty of folks who post glowing reviews of their favorite books.

An amazing, eclectic collection of photographs sure to delight anyone with a penchant for history or nostalgic memorabilia.

note_to_cat
Having trouble conveying the concept of accountability to your cat? Now you can share letters to your significant felines and give public witness to your declarations of love and domestic negotiations. Whether you want to publish an apology for falling short on your cat-nip obligations or you need to raise a delicate hygiene issue.

So, I made a manip. It is subtle. I couldn't help myself. I just felt they wanted to be closer. Original behind the cut.

Here's the manipulation

Title: Autumn

Author: Alicez

Pairing: Vam

Rating: PG

Summary: Autumn reminds me of you.

Warnings: Not really, just a bit of angst. Nothing to heavy.

Disclaimer: Don’t know/Don’t own.

A/N: An actual bit of weirdness, this is. It's just a little one-shot until I get more inspiration so I can update my other stuff. I don't even know what inspired me, but I just wrote it down and this is what came out. Also contains a bit of fluffiness. Hope you enjoy it!

( Autumn )

I was just wondering if anyone had a high quality scan of the July 2007 cover of AP with The Used.
this would be the cover

I need it for a graphic design project, and this image isn't big enough.

I have a secret plan in the works. I hope it works out beautifully.

I wonder where children get the idea on how and when to lie? No one explains that to them and its not really something you can teach. I've seen a two year old lie, and then exhibit worry and shame. It just makes me wonder what we have to be taught and what parts just come standard in this weird sentience package we come with. Hm.

Title: Pretending (1 of many)

Rating: R eventually

POV: Ville

Summary: Ville’s world changes when he gets hit in the head with a skateboard.

Disclaimer: I own them in my fantasy world

Author Notes: AU. Enjoy the VAM story. The story is set as if Ville has always lived in America, which we all know, is not the case. The beginning of a new story, with many chapters to follow I just have to keep motivated to continue writing it.

( ch 1 )

.... Man, I forgot about this thing. Sorry LJ, I've been neglecting you for FaceBook. My bad. :v

Honestly nothing's been happening in my life worthy of talking about. I'm failing my first college class ever and I got Arceus from a Pokemon Event (still waiting for HGSS. Dammit why does it have to come out in the spring? Also thanks to Pixiv, Morty's now my favourite character and it's all thanks to three days of fanart binging for no reason).

Aaaaaaaand I'm doing a meme because I am just. that. interesting.

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

Dyatlov Pass - The Original



( He dreamt he was in an ice storm... )

Oh god, everyone. I want to apologize so hard. I had the majority of this chapter already written, but real life for the past couple of weeks has decided to ultimately kick. my. ass. I got swamped with crew (two weekends in a row I was racing), papers, homework, exams, etc. And any free time I did have, I was far too exhausted to even think about writing well.

But it's here now and I'm so sorry about the wait, and I swear that chapter 10 will NOT take as long to get posted. Please, keep reading and reviewing, I really hope you're enjoying this so far. Honestly, Bam's talk with the folklorist is one of my favorite pieces of dialogue in the whole story. I hope you enjoyed it as well.

Read and review! Thank you so much.

Much love,
[pandora].

I remember a long....long time ago, in a land far away...lol, o.k., a while ago on this site someone posted the whole Strange Itch CD....
could I please have that download???
