Crotcrank

[gilpin25]

Am so cranky/crotchety I could invent a whole new word for it. Like crotcrank. Actually I rather like that and I have to snap out of this soon because I'm normally the one who snaps other people out of it. Hubby is currently looking at me in a bewildered fashion and offering me the TV remote out of fear.

Anyway I've done the usual cheer-me-up things - wasted ages choosing a new David Tennant icon and then gone for one of the first ones I saw - and sighed over my metamorfic_moon story, which has given me no trouble whatsoever, apart from the fact that it's weird, I'm not in a romantic mood (which is a snag as it's my genre) and I've written 2000 words without a prompt in sight. It also shows every sign of wanting to be an epic, and I really didn't want it to be. So that's crotcranked me off as well.

Right, whinge over. If anyone hasn't seen the R/T picture drumher did, to illustrate one of mrstater's fics, then it's great and I just love the colours, expressions, hair and both sets of feet. The only thing I can draw is horses and they have yet to feature in any R/T story I've done. Now there's an idea... ;)

If it would cheer you up, I'd give you a sneak preview of your birthday icon...

Ooh, I shouldn't really - I'm only grumpy because I managed to inadvertently poison myself on Friday by eating the wrong thing, and after three days of bathroom hugging I'm finding it somewhat hard to get in a romantic frame of mind.

But go on then! Just a glimpse... ;)

Alright, offer up any and all suggestions.

I have another I'm playing with as well...

And you know, I was just saying this morning that there are some very crazy icons floating around our F-lists.

I don't think I can type, I'm laughing so much. Especially at pole dancing McGonagall and Remus playing the bagpipes. I'm inclined to say it's purrfect as it is.

Unless...should Wolfie Remus, complete with sexy glasses, be saying something? Or have a little heart above his head? Bear in mind I'm not as insane as I normally am today. ;)

That is just too funny. It's the shot of the wolf's profile that really cracks me up. Like he's blowing a kiss.

Can you make Remus playing bag pipes bounce up and down a bit?

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

Erm, you have remembered about men not wearing much under their kilts, haven't you? I don't want Remus to knock himself out or anything... ;)

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

I think Remus doesn't wear anything under his robes, either; he's related to that man at the triwizard tournament who likes a little air...

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

I think you've just revealed where the drama is in your fic - will Remus get through a windy day with his dignity intact? ;)

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

Sounds more like mystery/suspense to me.

At least he'd be in no danger of crotchcrankiness.

[molly-coddles.livejournal.com]

LOL, now that would make a whole different icon...

Oh dear, I think I need a new keyboard. Tea and saliva can't be good for all those sticky little keys....

[molly-coddles.livejournal.com]

*snicker* Sorry 'bout that. Didn't meant to get your keyboard all crotcranked. ;)

That icon is hilarious! I love the knee high boots one of the cats is wearing.

Yes, when I saw that Puss in Boots clip art, it just begged for a kilt and a dance pole.

Well, actually, I already had the kilt and pole, I was looking for kitties to use them. My evil chuckle of delight when I found that image probably rivalled Voldemort's.
