Well, that's it. The days of fan videos on Imeem is no more. Luckily, I was able to track down most of my favorite videos on other streaming sites. There are quite a few that I will never see again, though.

They handled the switch in such a bad way. Barely any notification time, and their reasoning is full of crap. Everyone seems to be making the switch over to Bam Video Vault, and I think I'll do the same.

( Laurenology )

01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
No. I usually read in bed before I go to sleep, so by that time I've already eaten.

02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
I would never write in anything other than a college textbook.

03. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
Bookmarks. I have a whole collection, lol.

04. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Preferably fiction.

05. Hard copy or audiobooks?
Hard copy.

06. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
I try to read to the end of chapters, but since I read in bed, sometimes I have to put the book down because I start to fall asleep.

07. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Write it down to look it up later? Just try to infer what it means from the rest of the sentence, and keep going?
I usually just infer what it means from the rest of the sentence.

08. What are you currently reading?
Wideacre by Phillipa Gregory.

09. What is the last book you bought?
Undead and Uneasy by Mary Janice Davidson.

10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?
I try to stick to one book at a time.

11. Do you like re-reading books?
It depends on the book. There are a couple I've read multiple times.

Some time ago I decided that I wanted my next Halloween costume to be classic Princess Leia.

I searched online and came across this. It's alright, but it just seems kind of blah. I searched further and discovered this little beauty, which I really, really like. It's a replica of the Gentle Giant sculpture that has graced the halls of San Diego Comic Con. One of my favorite costumers, Kelldar, re-created it and it looks simply beautiful. Of course, I'm not anywhere near as talented as she is, so I have to buy my own costume rather than make it.

Anyway, the costume seemed perfect, until I noticed one small flaw. It's largest size is a medium. Yeah, no freaking way that would work with my body type. So, saddened, I gave up the idea of ever having this costume. Well, today I stumbled back across the site to look at their new stock of costumes for the season when I found this! They finally made it in a plus size! This might just actually work!

Now, at the moment it says that it's out of stock, but that's okay. I have more than enough time until Halloween gets here. It comes with a belt and a wig, which is a good deal. The one thing I think I am going to have a problem finding is boots. They offer these on their website, but I'm a little skeptical about buying shoes online. I know a couple of you ladies have made Leia costumes, where did you find the perfect boots? I'd prefer to actually find them at a store so I can try them on before I buy them. Any tips would be great! :)

To complete the look I have my R2-D2 backpack that I purchased at Disney Land last year. He'll be my "purse" for the evening, lol.

This is what I have been saying would happen all along! First Transformers, than G.I. Joe. They're turning all our childhood cartoons into action films! I suspect the Care Bears will be next.

I don't think I shared this with you guys, but I purchased this shirt a while ago from jinx.com.
