Icon purging

ladybug_archiveRight now I don't have the spare money to keep up a Paid account, so I've switched to Sponsered and I had to go icon purging. XD; It was difficult, figuring out which ones to keep. And I had to make room for this one that I just did. I was looking at the Baby Face icon with the Getting Away with Murder lyrics, and I couldn't stop thinking how appropriate that would be for a Gin AMV or icon. So I found this manga picture that was perfect and made this.
And while I do think Gin is clever, as I noticed someone saying on FF.net, I also think it's a little disturbing to call him "cool." XD He's a ruthless assassin! But then, those types always collect fangirls. I think he's good-looking, and I love his hair, but he's definitely not a character I'd fangirl over. He will make a good foil for Baby Face, though.
Today I went to the Scottish festival. X3 I loved it! Local Scottish people set up booths for their clans, there were other booths with crafts and clothes and the like, and of course there was bagpipe music. They had a bagpipe marching band, actually. And there was a local singing group that came and sang Celtic songs. Here's their website: http://www.kindredvoices.net/ I'll definitely try to catch them if they perform in the area again. Which reminds me, I wonder if the Mason-Dixon Bluegrass Band's CD is out yet....
There was also some Scottish food. X3 I tried something that was like beef stew or a pot pie. I think they called it tatty pie. And I had some short bread too. Good stuff.
Going there also made me think more about my own heritage. I don't know if I have any Scottish ancestry (probably do), but I do know that I have a lot of Welsh.
Now I am going to write a little essay on Sach and Whitey's friendship. When it's done, I'll probably post it here. I love their friendship. It's so goofy and silly while being cute and innocent. The slashers would have a heyday with it, and they probably will, once the movies come out on DVD.

...I also see that you didn't try the haggis. XD
*pokes* Where've you been lately? I haven't seen you around AIM...and Side7 is, like, completely dead. I know I've got no right to comment given that I've got nothing to post myself, but it's sad and desolate. ;_;

I should hop on right now. XD I haven't been using CompuServe for a while because it takes so long to boot up. Hang on and I'll get it up. ^^

...and there you are!
