And what with the job hunting, rescinding of jobs, depression, sleeping, concerts, and more, it took me forever to get these done.  I'm going to Los Angeles this weekend, so I figured I would try to get them done tonight.  Hope you enjoy them!

If I hear from one more person that sex is worse than violence, my foot is going in their ass.  Then I'm booking it on over to Europe where you people have some common sense about this...

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your kind words and comments regarding my last post. Many may not think it's a lot because we're all online and don't see each other and such, but whenever anyone has a kind word to say, I really take it to heart. So thank you.

( Cut for length... )

Hi everyone,

Had an especially difficult night last night.  The worst night of my husband's entire life, as he put it.  As usual, writing stuff down always makes me feel better and in situations like this, it may end up helping someone else.  Who knows?

( No, no, no... )

Since I haven't found a job yet, I figured I'd go for another round here.

DETAILS:
The first ten people that make requests, get them. After that, requests close, so please do not ask after that. They may open later, but for now, I can only do ten requests. You may only make one request.

Tell me your favorite ship or character or fandom creation. It can be of any fandom or real life ship or fake one that you simply adore. It can also be slash or femslash, I have no issues there. That's all you need to do. Except if it is something like a book that doesn't have an official cast, which in that case, I'll need you to send me a specific cast.

After that, I'll put my media player on shuffle and use lyrics from the first song to pop up as the lyrics in the art.

TWO PEOPLE I WILL NOT ART: Jesse Eisenberg and Lars Ulrich. I have personal issues with both in real life. I don't want to get into it, but I can't art them. They bother me. Other than that, anything goes.

NOTE: If you make a request, please make sure to comment when I post your wall. I didn't think I would actually have to ASK that, but there are people who haven't commented in the past when I have made them requests. I tells me not only that you like your piece, but also lets me know you got it. Plus, it's just common courtesy to thank someone who has made something for you. Please comment on your last request before you ask for a new one. Thank you.

Requests have been filled.  I finished this up tonight to make myself feel better about being such a little coward (see previous post).  It helped a bit. angelus2hot, I unfortunately could not do your request because I couldn't find any high enough resolution images to work with.  If you want to request something else, please feel free. :)

So I'm losing my unemployment next week.  MN has this fucked up law where if the unemployment rate drops below 6%, then the people that were on their second tier of unemployment don't get anymore money.  Which makes NO sense, but that's how it is.  Anyhow, as of today I still don't have a job. Those of you out there trying to get work know what a bitch it is.  I have done four interviews in the past two weeks to no avail.  I have also tried to get jobs doing things like overnight stock and stuff like that at places like Target and such, but because of my degrees, they say I am "overqualified".  I love how I was told to go to school my whole life to get a good job only to have it be the reason I cannot get one now.  

SO, as of next week, there will be no income.  I mean, I have NO idea what I am going to do.  I am in the process of selling many things, including my Buffy, Angel, X-Files, and other action figures.  I wanted to post the link to my Amazon storefront here in case there are any interested parties.  I know there are lots of people who like that stuff on LJ, so where's a better place to post it? :)

STORE CAN BE FOUND HERE.

This time again.  There are ten spots available and I usually wait until all ten have been filled, but last time I waited a few weeks and only eight were taken.  So I will eventually close it out if they don't all fill.

My mom, who has been dealing with leukemia since last year, went to her doctor today cuz she was having a hard time breathing and was all swollen.

They found soot on her lungs and had to stop her current medications.  Now they need to come up with a whole new type of treatment.  She has never smoked, so the soot isn't due to that.  I hate this.

( Best friends are we... )

I just have to share the stuff that happened when we did the coverage for "The Hunger Games" mall tour.

Please bear in mind we're not used to these types of media events.  My husband mainly covers concerts, with some sporting events thrown in there.  This was a whole different deal.

We went to the Mall of America and the people there had a TON of room for media between the stage and barricade.  I mean, usually at concerts, you get about four feet between the barricade and the stage to move.  Yeah, we got about twelve feet to run around at the MOA.  It was AWESOME.  We were practically skipping around.  So, I go there and it was PACKED.  The thing about us is that we like to have fun with the fans of everything he shoots.  A lot of media people think they're too damn good to associate with the fans, but that's crap.  I love talking with fans.  So we talked to these girls who had been there since eight o'clock.  We had gotten there at three o'clock (five minutes earlier) when speaking with them.  Later, I found out that it was not eight AM, no, rather eight PM from the prior evening.  I was like, "What???"  A lot of people were upset because they were like, six people away from the autograph session, but I told them it was cooler that they were up front for the Q&A.  Personally, I have seen a ton of autograph sessions and many times, you barely get to see the celebrities.  I would rather get to hang around with or get images of them than get an autograph any day.  I didn't get to get a photo with Marilyn Manson, but I got to hang out with him one on one for about ten minutes, which means way more to me than any damn photo.

So we are up there and I was taking a bunch of pics for the fans with their cameras before it all started.  There were so many guys from like, WireImage and Getty and such that refused to do it.  That's lame because they weren't doing anything and you could tell this meant SO much to these people.  So I just took a ton of pics and talked with them for something to do.

The cast came out.  They were all really nice and fun.  People were FREAKING out.  I don't know, I don't tend to freak out with people.  I have only done that thing where I can't talk twice in my entire life with people.  But I just see them as people.  I'm looking at them and I'm like, "God, this has to be SO odd."  I mean, can you imagine all these people coming out to see you?  And screaming at the top of their lungs?  I've been to concerts next to amps that have lower decibels than those screaming people - not a joke.

One thing I loved though was that I had no clue that the girl from the "Orphan" film was in "The Hunger Games".  She comes on stage and I'm like, "Is that the freaky chick from that Orphan movie???"  If I could have sat and talked with any of them, it would have been her just to be like, "You were scary as hell in that movie!  I mean, I still can't watch the makeup removal scene."

Word to the wise - if you are ever going to something like that and get up front, don't get pissy with the media.  Mainly because, they will always be at these things.  If you don't like it, they are not the places you should go.  They are all authorized to be there for good reasons.  They're not people who sneaked up in front of you or butt their way in line.  There was one lone girl behind the barricade who kept saying, "These photographers and news people shouldn't be allowed to be up here.  We're the ones who waited for it."  Well, we worked our asses off to get the jobs and are providing the fandom with additional coverage to expand it.  All of her friends were telling her to shut up the whole time.  That made it quite comical.  Besides, we don't stay in one place the whole time.  We move around a LOT.

One of the craziest things I saw, I have to say, was when everything wrapped up.  Everyone was gone and we were gathering up equipment when this girl walks up to the front of the barricade, stand there a second, and then just BURSTS into tears.  I was like, oh, my god.  So the promotions woman that the MOA went up and grabbed the huge promo poster and gave it to her, which I thought was really nice.

Some of his photos are posted HERE.  These and others will be posted at his official website and are currently available for sale.  If you want to purchase any, please just PM me.  :)

OMG - I haven't done one of these is SO long.  Seriously, I used to post icons every week.  I just decided to do them again the other day because I cannot find enough icons of this film.  So here are some.

Note: Don't go into English/Swedish bitch mode on these, please.  I LOVE the originals films, but just haven't gotten around to arting more of the originals.

Also, if you are curious as to where I got the caps, the BluRay caps are on my site, HERE.

ATTENTION "THE HUNGER GAMES" FANS!

Okay, my husband and I did the media for "The Hunger Games" mall tour today at the Mall of America. The following link has some of the photos that he took.

Currently, he is offering 8x10 copies of them for $9.99 plus $2 shipping domestically. We are selling copies because we are having serious financial issues with me not working and such, so are looking to sell anything we can. So if you are interested in any, please let me know. :) There are more, but we can't post all of them.

Also, the logo would be CONSIDERABLY smaller on purchased stuff.  The big one is just for online stuff so people don't steal them, which I am sure you understand.

PHOTO GALLERY

You can also view numerous other photos at his website RKH Images.

Once again, here we stand.  Yeah, I still don't have a real job.  So until that happens...

DETAILS:
The first ten people that make requests, get them. After that, requests close, so please do not ask after that. They may open later, but for now, I can only do ten requests. You may only make one request.

Tell me your favorite ship or character or fandom creation. It can be of any fandom or real life ship or fake one that you simply adore. It can also be slash or femslash, I have no issues there. That's all you need to do. Except if it is something like a book that doesn't have an official cast, which in that case, I'll need you to send me a specific cast.

After that, I'll put my media player on shuffle and use lyrics from the first song to pop up as the lyrics in the art.

TWO PEOPLE I WILL NOT ART: Jesse Eisenberg and Lars Ulrich. I have personal issues with both in real life. I don't want to get into it, but I can't art them. They bother me. Other than that, anything goes.

NOTE: If you make a request, please make sure to comment when I post your wall. I didn't think I would actually have to ASK that, but there are people who haven't commented in the past when I have made them requests. I tells me not only that you like your piece, but also lets me know you got it. Plus, it's just common courtesy to thank someone who has made something for you. Please comment on your last request before you ask for a new one. Thank you.

All right, I'm halfway through the requests - WOO HOO!

So they will be up soon and then another line may be open for more.  My creativity kind of died for a while and then I forced it out the other night when working on some stuff for a friend.  That, and the husband is working late this week, so I'm alone and bored, lol.  :)  Gotta find something to do now that the creative housework (painting the new photography office) is done.

Oh, and I had to find another reason to use another Lisbeth Salander gif.  I need about 50 reasons because I love these gifs.



Oh, and just cuz I do LOVE Rooney's Lisbeth too, I'll add her as well, lol. :)  Damn, I'm hungry now for crappy fast food.

For those who did requests (you know who you are), your art is still going to be getting done.  My last requests seriously had like, 24 hour turnaround time, but things have changed.

I got my former writing gigs back, which are my top priority because they are my only income and the more I do, the more money I make.  So I've basically been working my ass of on those.  

Artwork has been shoved to the back burner again due to both that and looking for a real life job and doing things like, you know, the dishes, laundry, making food, taking care of my animals, and all that other wonderful stuff I get to do.

But I just wanted to let you guys all know I didn't forget about you!!!!

Okay, here's the spiele - the last time I put up a request thing with new rules, it either TOTALLY confused people, they didn't post the artists, or just about everyone picked Tori Amos, which kind of negated the whole thing, lol. So we are back to the original type of request. I'll pick the lyrics and you guys pick the subjects. :)
