Dec. 2nd, 2009 @ 03:36 am Supernatural 100th Episode Celebration!
I'm Feeling: artistic
Anything I can do to help this wonderful cause that Jared Padalecki is so passionate about, I will do! Jared's passion truly inspires me to want to get involved and help out any way I can. I don't have the money to donate right now, but I am working on an SN project that will hopefully be done before season 5 is done wrapping. But until then I can spread the word about this wonderful cause that janglyjewels was awesome enough to bring to our attention.

Here's part of the article that I copied from the WinchesterBros website.

In honor of Supernatural's upcoming 100th episode, we are having a Fundraising Celebration! From Dec 1 until the 100th episode airs, we are asking Supernatural fans to go to
http://www.firstgiving.com/winchesterbros and donate to A Dog's Life Rescue, a charity officially endorsed by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.

You can find the rest of the article and what goodies they are offering for those who donate
HERE.



Remember the more people know about this the more money can be raised and we can help some animals who are truly in need of it :)
So spread the word and lets raise a little hell *cough* I mean money ;)

Nov. 30th, 2009 @ 07:45 am Morning Craving
I'm Feeling: Blissful
So it's 6:38am here, the sky is that perfect light blue with a hint of shade so it's dark enough to feel like it's still night, but light enough to remind you it's a new day. I'm sitting in my bed and I get this urge to listen to some music, but I don't want to just listen to music, oh no I want to watch videos of the artist singing. So now I'm on youtube, searching for those artists I have a craving for and I'm watching their videos and listening to their music. Since it's only 6:38am my musical preference is that of country, blues, soul - the soft with that almost hypnotic calming beat, the melodic sounds of the keys on a piano and the rhythmic strumming of the strings on a guitar. At this time in the morning when I can hear the birds waking up, chirping their own little melodies, when my cat, my baby is outside doing his usual meowing to come inside and because he's my baby I can't just ignore him so I let him in. At this time in the morning when it really is too early for music, this is the music I crave. This is the music that sweeps me away, makes my heart warm and puts a smile on my face :)

It's now 7:41am, my eye lids are slowly sealing promising to plunge me into a blissful darkness. I shall leave you with these and go to sleep with sweet dreams :) Nightymorning my lovlies!

Nov. 21st, 2009 @ 04:06 am Love, Loss And Longining- Then Winchesters And Their Family
I'm Feeling: drained


Never have I felt so in love, the brothers who give all to those they hold dear to their hearts.
Never have I felt so lost, when optimism is shattered by the reality of what's to come.
Never have I felt so much pain, for their sufferings, desperation, and the longing for a life they can call their own.
Never have I felt so alone, when all hope seems to have gone.
And never in the history of TV watching have I ever felt so passionate for two fictional characters,
Sam and Dean Winchester.

Only a few episodes had me in this state, emotional and helpless. My feelings for Dean when he kisses Jo goodbye, the pain in my heart when Ellen holds her dying daughter in her arms, the desperation of wanting to wrap my arms around Sam when he's faced with Lucifer in the dark. Only a few episodes had me in this state and they were:
  1. All Hell Breaks Loose Part1&2
  2. No Rest For The Wicked
  3. On The Head Of A Pin
  4. In My Time Of Dying
  5. When The Levees Break
I don't have it in me to write up a report about the different things I've noticed in this episode, but since we have more than 8 weeks I figured I have all the time in the world to write up my review and thoughts on the episode :) Right now all I feel is what I've written above and all I want to say is this episode by far was one of the best ones this season! I hated the ending, it broke my heart to see Bobby burning the picture of their family, the only picture of their only family, it broke my heart to see such loss in hope in all their eyes and it makes me feel it's not going to get any better for any of them =( ... I was optimistic about how things could end, but after seeing this episode and the promo for next episode it doesn't look very good. I truly hope that it does have an optimistic ending I really do, but somehow it feels like they're gonna crash and burn and we are going to be the ones left broken hearted and torn.

Nov. 15th, 2009 @ 03:31 am Hellz Yeh They Can Pull Off A Season 6!
I'm Feeling: determined
I've been reading a lot of strong responses to Thursday's episode of Supernatural 'The Real Ghostbusters', I haven't written my thoughts on it yet, planning on doing so maybe tomorrow. But until then I want to address one major issue that has caught my eyes and has rattled my world, sort of speak. It's okay to not like an episode, it's your right to even hate an episode and voice your opinions on it. It's kind of disheartning to read, cause I want the show to get as much positive than negative. For two reasons:
  1. The cast, crew, makeup artists, visual artists, and just about anyone whose worked on the show has given us so much over the last 5 years. They've worked so hard and tried so hard to beat the odds and with the fans' help were able to give the CW the ratings it craved and desperately needed. So when I read about how fans are really hating the show to the point of actually not watching it anymore or hoping that this is the last season, I get really upset, cause I can't help but think about all the work that went and is going into making this show. I also can't help but picture Jared and Jensen hearing about this, I mean they really do seem to feel passionate about their show, you can just imagine what they must be thinking when they hear about all the negativity it's been getting =(
  2. Reading all the negative responses and seeing how a lot of fans are actually saying they hope this is the last season, I fear that the CW will see this and feel well there's no reason to renew Supernatural for a season 6, and I really want a season 6!
This is an old article I've read about the pros and cons of having a season six, and I sort of just want to give why I think there should be a season 6 and how it could end.

Nov. 14th, 2009 @ 05:18 am I Think I'm Improving Here!
I'm Feeling: artistic
So I'm thinking of putting this project together for A Dog's Life Rescue. I'm still sorting things out and I'm gonna make a proper post for it when I have all my thoughts and ducks in a row. I think I'll start it on the first day of the New Year! Because I know right now people are busy with holidays and work and the rush that usually comes before the New Years. But I really want to do this, in fact the reason I'm doing this is because this is a way I can help A Dog's Life Rescue, I don't have the money to donate or buy anything, but I do have artistic skills that I can use to put together a project :) Of course I'm gonna need the help of all the Supernatural and A Dog's Life fans \o/

I've been a little bit out of sorts about my art, I drew out a new geometric drawing and I did the first stages of it on photoshop. Now I want to color it in and do my art thang that I do, but I haven't been up to it *sighs*. So I decided to do some sketching instead! Sketching who?

Well can you tell who this is? If you can yay for me cause that means I did a good job. If you can't tell who it is then boo for you cause that means you don't have the artistic eye ;) LOL


Okay so I might have made it easy for you to guess who it is with my clues :P .... so what do you think? Be honest!
I'm trying to make a decision, should I leave it as is, or should I color it in? What do you think?

I really need to get back to my other art, especially since I have to update my shop. So tomorrow I'll get back to business! But until then I'm gonna enjoy all the Chicago Con tweets and read some awesome fanfiction :D

Nov. 12th, 2009 @ 07:32 am Holiday Wishes! Holiday Spirit!
I'm Feeling: touched
This is a brilliant idea I've stolen from brianshanelvr. I'm going to try and make someones wish come true, or at least make something to wish everyone a wonderful holiday :)

Step One
• Make an LJ post. It can be public or friends only, whatever you’re most comfortable with.
The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes, and these wishes can be anything - from simple (a fan fiction written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new laptop or car).
Just make sure these are wishes for things you really truly want.

Step Two
• Skim through your friends list and see who has posted their own wish lists.
Then - and this is the most important part - if you find a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make sure that person’s wish comes true.
Sometimes a person’s trash is another person’s treasure.
If you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, give it to someone who wants it.

Step Three
• Post this wish list any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.

• You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to.
The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday fairy--to spread the joy.
Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

• There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached.
Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive.
And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

My wish list:
  1. iPhone
  2. Jared and Jensen's address where I can send them mail and it'll guarantee they get it. (with the possibility of sending things back to me i.e. autographs)
  3. Creation Con ticket (Gold) for a Supernatural convention anywhere in the USA or maybe Canada
  4. Graphite or Charcoal drawing of Sam and Dean or Jared and Jensen. Separate drawings on separate drawing paper.
  5. Christian Kane's CDs. I love his music but sadly do not own any of his CDs
  6. Supernatural DVDs.
  7. The Supernatural book of monsters, spirits, ghosts and ghouls
  8. Messenger bag
  9. information on how to set up an ebay account for bids and stuff (detailed info that will help me out)
  10. Supernatural music video (I'll leave it to your imagination, but no wincest) or a Supernatural header for my journal (surprise me)
Well that's it. My wish list. Now write yours up and I'll see if I can make your wish come true ^_^

Nov. 9th, 2009 @ 04:04 am Supernatural Icons Season 5 Episodes 07 & 08
I'm Feeling: blah
I have no idea why I continue to torture myself with these, I know I've just started, but I'm thinking these little buggers are gonna be the death of me some day. Hey at least it's like therapy, whatever is on my mind I can just take it and make Supernatural icons from it :D I know just an excuse to make Supernatural icons ;p

Hope you like, credit is love and if you do happen to be possessed by a demon and suddenly find yourself wanting to use one of them, you are welcome to just credit me ;)

Oct. 31st, 2009 @ 02:44 am I Finally Got To See Friday The 13th! :D
I'm Feeling: satisfied
Finally got to see Friday the 13th! I've never gone 'oooh' 'aaaaaah' and 'hotdamn' so much during a movie before, Jason really showed a diabolical side in this movie. He doesn't just use his machete to kill anymore, he wraps a girl in a sleeping bag and steam roasts her over a fire o_o which by the way was the worst way to die, I mean not only are you in a tight space over scorching heat, but you're suffocating as well and you're living through the whole thing. Horrible horrible way to die, so wrong o_o.

I have not seen so many boobs and heard so many f*** yous in any movie before, I mean my ears were bleeding and my eyes were melting, I get that the guys will go to the movie to see that, but seriously! Was it necessary to see so many bouncing boobs?! LOL!!! Okay it was funny that they all got killed, seeing as how obnoxious they all were. It was also funny how the stereotype of 'the black man always dies first' was broken in this movie, they actually went a little further and had it where he was the only one to actually put up a fight and hurt Jason before biting the dust. Of course he didn't go shoulder to shoulder with him like Clay did, but still it was cool to see ;)

Don't even get me started on Clay, man was he HOT! Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that it was Jared *cough cough* Padalecki *cough* playing him.... hey! It's not my fault! They put that shirt on him on purpose, and rightfully so! I mean if they are going to appeal to the guy audience by flashing boobs then they sure as hell better please the girl audience by putting the hottest guy in the movie in a skin tight tee ... and pleased I was ;) That's not to say I didn't pay attention to his acting, because I did, I was kind of disappointed that we didn't see more of him though. I mean I get that in these movies you don't really get to know the characters beyond their superficial - drink/bong and bang layers, but I would have loved to see a little more about Clay. He left home at 17, he wasn't responsible, he and his sister fought ... but why? I would have liked to get to know him more, cause he did show signs of relentlessness with the whole going back to the cabin, knowing full well a psycho killer was probably there, I mean no one in their right mind would do that. But he was determined to find his sister and he was smart enough to not believe the local cops and the creepy lady with the scary ass dog. I know I know the movie wasn't about him, it was more about Clay looking for his sister and Jason showing some mad skills when killing his victims. But it would have been nice to get to know Clay on a more ... ummm... intimate level ;)

I guess it's because I'm so used to getting to know a character so deeply, like with Sam in Supernatural that I found it kind of weird not being able to connect with a character on that level in a movie. I felt for him when he was handing out missing leaflets of his sister and when the jackass Trent (have you noticed that there's always a jackass named Trent?) was being so douchebaggy to him. But the connection was not the same as the connection and understanding I get when I'm watching Sam Winchester. But again, the movie was not about that, so I should stop being chick flicky :P

It was definitely an awesome movie, loved the whole ending where Jared/Clay finally gets some action and takes Jason on \o/ Wooo! I almost had a heart attack when it looked like Jason was going to fillet Clay's face *shivers* Then the whole dumping of the body and finally what you think will be a sister brother moment till... BAM!! HE'S BAAAAACK!!! So not fare :p Jared was awesome, what did I love most about him in the movie? He does jumpy spooked out of his mind so well!

For instance, like in the dog scene and the end scene or like this scene:



Or this scene, love his hair in the face moments ;)



Or this scene ... it's kind of sad that she died in the end, she was the only decent person in her group of friends



I like that Jason was wearing this through most of the movie, till he found his hockey mask



I'm hoping we get to see what happens to Clay and his sister. I don't want to have to guess through the whole movie- if they die how did they die, if they didn't die how did they get away- kind of thing. I want to see it. Meaning Jared will have to come back ;D

Oct. 30th, 2009 @ 01:53 am Supernatural Convention Spain
I'm Feeling: bouncy
In my previous Supernatural Convention post, I basically try to sort out all the different conventions happening next year, from Asylum to Creation to all the new ones like Rising Con and Jus In Bello. Now, the one that I was thinking about going to was the one in NJ on July. But I'm kind of rethinking that and leaning towards the Rising Con in Barcelona. I'm looking at the world map right now and Spain is much  closer to where I'm living (Saudi Arabia), not to mention it seems like a really fun con :) So I'm doing my research on the whole thing and this is where I need your help :)
  • The site to the Rising Con isn't working for me, it says that it's invalid. So, does anyone have the official URL for the website?
  • What sites do you go to to check for airline tickets and prices? Right now I'm looking at farecompare.com ... there are others I'll be looking into, but what site do you use that you can trust to purchase your air fare tickets?
  • Does anyone have an estimate on how much you would find yourself spending on food and drinks while there?
  • Who else is planning on going to this con? As I've said above I'm in Saudi Arabia so if I can make it I'll be traveling from here to there. Anybody in the vicinity? :)
Just wanna get my ducks in a row. Wanna see how much it'll all cost in the end so I can start saving up for it! I'm not gonna get my hopes up just yet, but I told my mom about it and she said for me to do all the research and then see what the costs amount to and then talk to my dad. I might not be able to go, but who knows stranger things have happened ;) If you think I should know about anything else regarding traveling to Spain and booking the rooms and getting the maps for the hotel and the convention, please let me know. This is the first time I'm planning something this big and I want to be completely prepared and organized.

Thank you guys for any help and info and advice you can give me :)

Oct. 16th, 2009 @ 07:37 pm Zakhrafa ... Supernatural Icons
I'm Feeling: awake
I'm doing another Zakhrafa (Islamic Geometric Art). I just finished drawing it out and the next step is to transfer it to illustrator and photoshop to turn it into a piece of Yaya art ;)
Here's what it looks like now:


As you know my art never ever ends up the way it started ... I don't even know what it'll look like when I'm done with it, but it sure as hell something I look forward to seeing and sharing!

If you're not privy to my previous works you can just click below and introduce yourself to just some of my pieces I've finished over the course of the last few months.

I've also been icon-ing out lately too. I can't seem to get enough of that stuff. My main focus for the icons right now is ... non other than Supernatural :D ... I might start veering towards other stuff, but right now Supernatural is my muse.



 








I won't claim to be awesome with making icons ... not yet anyways ;) But I like how all these came out! If you happen to like them too, you can take what you want, just credit me :)

TTFN Tah Tah For Now ^_^
