The Pratchett quote my journal is named for.
I realized the other day that I totally forgot to do a post for this livejournal's birthday. On June 3, Turtle was one whole year old. On that day, it was designated as an outlet for my general geekiness, and I believe it has succeeded in that objective. In the past year, I have posted about the things in my fandoms and such that have made me think in depth about that illusive thing known as real life. Some have called it boring. Others have called it awesome. In any case, I'm going to keep doing it, no matter what you think, so there. Happy birthday, journal. I did well to create you. :)
Yesterday I got an actual, real job at JC Penney, which makes me feel very grown up. Now I just have to endeavor not to get fired.
I've decided to reread all of the Discworld books before Thud comes out in the fall. I also need to take notes so I can try to get the chronology right. Doom.
My next entry, to be posted as soon as tomorrow, will be my official Revenge of the Sith review.
As a birthday celebration, here are...
It's Thomas!
Quote from the ROTS book.
Not a quote from the book.
Three of my favorite icons I've ever made. The last one especially. Because when Ani gave Padme the japor snippet, he said it was so she'd remember him. She said she didn't need that to remember him. In the Revenge novel, though, after Obi-Wan tells her about Anakin's fall, she has a moment where she's "just trying to remember the little boy who gave it to me," and there's this great theme that runs through the Anakin/Padmé scenes of "I'll always come back to you." "I'll wait forever." Well, anyway, it's pretty.
