Heartfelt thanks!

[wiseheart]

To the most generous anonymous person who's gifted 6 months worth of paid LJ account upon me. Thank you, whoever you are!

Whoa! I've got a paid account! levade, you were right! I'm gonna upload all the gorgeous sci-fi icons karri made for me. Ha!

And if you want to see the first two versions of Lord Orchald, made by Mira the talented one, look here:

and here:

I find both great. But again, Sean Connery belongs to the sort of men who look a lot better at a more advanced age than they ever did ans young rascals.

Thanks, Mira, and thanks, oh anonymous sponsor! *does happy dance*

They are both very good though I like the second one ever so slightly better. I suppose that's my inner Slytherin speaking (emerald...), heh :) As for Sean Connery: I think he is a great actor (I loved him as William of Baskerville in "The Name of the Rose") and he has charm, no doubt about it... Though that particular age gap is a bit too wide (45 years, give or take), even for me ;)

Hope you have a nice Christmas and a great New Year! *hugs* As of tomorrow I will probably own "The Road Goes Ever On" and my colllection of primary Tolkien Middle-earth stuff will be complete! Yay! Then I need to buy the extended soundtracks and a few assorted Visual Companions as well as "The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook" by Alan Lee. Might the South Haven be interested in a collection of Interesting Bits (TM) that can be found in RGEO? I would write it over the holidays and post it as soon as possible

*stops babbling, hugs some more* If you like the icon: it was made by slayer_9849 and you are free to take it and her Erestor icon, if you want!

I very much envy you for "The Road Goes Ever On" - but if it has been reprinted, maybe I can order it through Bestseller. *suppresses the urge to squee* In the meantime, I'm sure that the South Haven would be very interested in the Interesting Bits (TM).

By the way - how does one "take" an icon? For I am very much tempted.

By the way - how does one "take" an icon? For I am very much tempted

You right click on the icon you want-in this case my user icon, click on "Save picture As" (or its Hungarian equivalent :)) and save it under a file name of your choice. Then you go to your LJ, click on the dark blue menu point "Manage" and choose the sub category "user pictures". Then you go to the box titled "Upload user picture", click on the grey windows button "Browse", choose the picture from your harddrive, click "open". Back in the LJ upload box you then choose a keyword and attach a phrase that says by whom the icon was made, for example "...made by slayer 9849" in this case. And then you click on upload et voilà! You have got your very own icon of the twins.

I will change my icons soon and then you can grab Erestor off me as well, if you want. If the explanation creates any problems, just ask! By the way: Merry Christmas to you and your muses *hugs*

Oh, I got your card before we left for my parents, I just *love* the designs you do for them!! :D


And you *take* an icon by right-clicking on it, save it to your hard drive (I always change the name when I save it, because LJ numbers them, and I like to know what they are. So I'd call it twins-byslayer9649. (And it's slayer9649 I think makamu means...) Anyway, then you upload it to your LJ and in the keywords, put the name and who made it.

Oops yes. Thanks Larian! *quickly changes her own keywords* ;)
