I'm really enjoying Starfighter right now, and let me tell you, the Rook/Thom parallels are pretty much smacking me over the face despite the crazyawesome mecha setting.

Another icon dump!

The sets are ordered chronologically, so if you wonder why they get fuglier the farther down you scroll, that is the reason. The Darenimo Aisarenai icons owe stylistic debts to papermoon_icons, timicons, nefadol, and the tutorials at robotsex.

All of these icons are up for use, but no hotlinking. You've been warned. Please credit search_soleil in the comment space in your userpics. Please leave a comment here if you take anything!

[01-11] Darenimo Aisarenai
[12-13] Day of Revolution
[14-19] Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You)
[20-31] CLAMP Campus Detectives
[32-34] Victorian Romance Emma
[35-00] Calorie

( The Rest )

1) New default icon! Everybody should read Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You). It's only on the third chapter or so, but it is lovely and hilarious. Sort of a mix of PGE/Wallflower's premise and Fruits Basket's good-heartedness.

2) It has come to pass that basically everyone I talk to about NYCC ends up deciding to go. Something about the call of the awesome. I am merely a messenger!

3) My birthday was sort of weird this year, mostly because I've been kind of down and nothing really spectacular happened to get me out of it. I will say that marathoning a bit of Oofuri with splintercat was awesome, because that is just how Oofuri and marathons are. My Domo wall calendar has Domo playing baseball for April, and I find this fitting and appropriate.

4) I played Katamari Damacy! I suck less than Akira Touya, but more than just about everyone in the real world! (This is kind of how video games and me are. I have trouble spatially coordinating myself in my own body with my own eyes. Asking me to spatially coordinate myself with little joysticks is perhaps too much to ask.) Someday I will get someone to play Kingdom Hearts I and II and the Phoenix Wright games for me, but I fear I have a long time to wait still.

5) Insert gratuitous and rather cryptic mention of Cthulhu here that really boils down to "Okay, I am totally obsessed with CUSFS."

6) My academic life still sucks. Every single class I'm taking this semester is leaving me dissatisfied for one reason or another, and yet I am still busting my butt to make B+ averages. This is new and rather unpleasant for me. :/

7) I am sort of in a yaoi/sho-ai phase right now and I think those who share this interest should run and not walk to Yamada Yugi's Darenimo Aisarenai and other works because they seriously make me incoherent with love. There's another one I know I meant to rec, but a lot of time has passed between that thought and this entry.

8) Damn you Diana! Just so everyone knows, The Big Bang Theory is awesome.

ETA: Why I shouldn't make journal entries on little sleep in the wee hours of the morning: vague descriptors ahoy! ('Kind of's and 'sort of's in this entry: 5, as well as 'basically,' 'rather,' 'something,' 'or so,' and 'for one reason or another.')

WE KNEW IT WAS COMING. A SERIES WITH THAT MUCH HOMOEROTIC SUBTEXT, SOMEONE HAD TO BE GAY.

Congratulations, Dumbledore, you're finally out!

*rolls on the floor in triumphant laughter*

The thing that makes me just die, though, is that it's Queer Awareness Month here in the Columbia University community. I cannot wait to spread the awareness. Oh, this is amazing.

EMO MOOD ALL GONE. XD

An icon dump!

Every single icon I've made so far, or at least what I feel is worth sharing. This will probably be a one time deal, unless I suddenly become really good at this photoshop thing and decide to take it up more seriously.
