Song of the Moment: "Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy (Okay so I don't have a good new one for ya...lol)

So...updates! I finally joined Twitter! I blame David Hewlett (Rodney McKay - Stargate Atlantis) It's all his fault...and I told him....but I was nicer about it lol. If anyone wants to follow...feel free!! Click Here!!

Other news....ooooh for those who know my dear friend silvermoondax be sure to head on over and wish her congratulations! She is getting married this weekend....and I'm TOTALLY in the wedding!! :D

Also, I may have a new "unofficial" fandom. Meaning it's amazing but there won't be cads of art coming out of it. This fandom goes along with one of my new favorite actors, Neil Patrick Harris. (NPH W00T!) Most of you might know him from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog AWESOME!! (click the WATCH NOW button and you can watch for free :D). I have become OBSESSED with Doogie Howser M.D If you haven't seen it...head on over to hulu.com and check it out!! And if you haven't been exposed to the world of Dr. Horrible....click the link above to hit the website and check it out! BEST 45 minutes ever!

Finally, I decided along with my fanart to put my non-fandom related Photo-manips in my Art-LJ gallery too, along with of course the fanart. I will put them all up for now....but because of the rules with some of the stock photos, some may have to be removed. I know most of the people I get the stock from and it shouldn't be an issue....but I still have to check. I would LOVE to know what everyone thinks!!

Well I have to go for now. Time to pack before McKay picks me up. I can't wait til this wedding is over...then I can eat ice cream again!! XD

Stay shiny and LOVE EVERYBODY!!

Hey everyone! So....I don't know if any of my LJ friends have me on Myspace or Facebook, but I have deleted my accounts- FYI. Moving on....

I got the link to this widget that I have to post somewhere to get points. Hopefully it works here. lol.

In other news.....

I am currently working on some new fics- one of which is a Criminal Minds fic :D Once one of my friends reads it for me I will post it in fanfiction.net. For those who haven't read my other fics.....check out my Fanfiction profile :D So far there are only CSI fics but I have a Stargate Atlantis fic and a Firefly fic in the works. So keep an eye out.

Also I have some ideas for a few pretty awesome photo-manips coming up, one of which will probably be a dedication to some friends of mine, so keep an eye on my art journal sweet_kaywinnet and my DeviantART profile

Stay shiny and LOVE EVERYBODY

Song of the Moment: "Lifesong" - Casting Crowns

That's right folks! I finally have some Christian art!! I spent a few hours last night.....this morning.....putting an icon set together. They are text icons with Bible verses and song lyrics from songs like "Lifesong" and "Word of God Speak" to name a few. Please let me know what you think!! At the moment these have not been posted in my LiveJournal art account (Sweet_Kaywinnet) but they might be soon. I need to finish adding my Firefly/Serenity art first. :D

Lyrics:

Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

((Forgive typos. I'm slowly losing my ability to type lol.))

This is a repost from my art journal sweet_kaywinnet   because it's late and I'm too tired to think of something new to type. You will get confused- but if you're overly confused just ask a question. I'll be glad to answer.....tomorrow....once I've had sleep.

My gallery can be found through my user info (sweet_kaywinnet ) (It says "Over 20 public photos" or something like that. I will also post a link at the bottom of every update journal).

Hello everyone!! Okay so I just sent out a crap load of emails and DeviantART notes telling people what in the tyen-shao-doh is going on. But since you guys who have already added my art journal should know what's going on, I'm not getting into it. If any of you haven't sent me an email address- please do so. I'd like to have your email address for these udates as well as others for my website and upcoming podcast. My new email address is Sweet_Kaywinnet@yahoo.com

Moving on, I added most of my old CSI art. Some of them wouldn't load but it wasn't a great loss believe me. There's one banner and one wallpaper that I consider awesome but the rest are so old. They're from back when I didn't know what the hell I was doing so they're really crappy and are the wrong sizes. If anyone does like any of them, tell me and I'll resize them.

Ummm....my Stargate Atlantis art and my Phantom of the Opera art was posted the last time I updated. I only have the one Firefly/Serenity banner up for now. Truthfully, I have so much Browncoat fanart, I wanted to wait to add them all. It's late and I need to go to bed.

For those who have seen my personal website (If you haven't seen it, don't worry about it yet)- not much has been going on. I will soon be working on a new site along with a separate site for a multi-fandom podcast I should be starting relatively soon with a friend. Updated on that will be coming soon.

My New Gallery:

Well, if I forget to say anything I will remember it as soon as I turn off my computer. So until next time, as always...

Stay shiny and love everybody!

Hey y'all!! So for a while I was posting my fanart on DeviantART. (If anyone wants to see anything else that isn't fanart- check it out here www.sweet-kaywinnet.deviantart.com) Then they decided to delete it.......for semi-obvious reasons. I can't draw so my lack of ability forced me to use screencaps and they don't like that.

ANYWHOO so I've decided to repost everything here. The only thing is.....I have an account that I made for something else and the user name is also sweet-kaywinnet. I figured to make it easier for my DeviantART friends, I would use that account.

Some fanfiction might be included in the art posting....not sure about that yet.

So yeah- my art journal..... sweet_kaywinnet

Check it out! I'm gonna post a bunch of stuff there tonight. Some of it you probably already have seen and some of it probably not.

The art will include wallpapers, icons, and banners from the following fandoms.

-CSI
-Firefly/Serenity
-Phantom of the Opera (2004)
-Stargate Atlantis
-House
-August Rush
-Criminal Minds

There will also be some new stuff that I'm still experimenting with. Still not that great- but I'm working on some photo manipulations. It should be interesting.

If anyone has any requests- feel free.

Anywhoo-- Stay shiny and love everybody!!

The Official "Burma Can't Wait" website can be found here.
Featuring
information on the brutality taking place there and messages by
celebrities asking for support.
Even if you don't read this message- at least
check out the site. http://www. burmaitcantwait. org/burmaitcantwait/
---------------------------------------
Hey everyone. I originally found this through a friend.
She showed me a
video done by Eric Szmanda and Jorja Fox, actors on CSI (for those who
don't know).
So through that I did some research and simply put- there
are things going on in Burma that cannot be ignored.


Many of you know me in real life, and normally, I'm not one to speak up
or speak out.
I'm more of a hide in the crowd and see what happens,
kind of person. But I can't this time.
Many of you who know me personally
also know that more than anything I believe in God.
Second to that is
my belief in justice- and these people deserve it.
I know I can't start
a rally or anything on my own- but I can spread the word to those I
know.
Below is a message from a website where I have signed a petition;
it basically states that if the Chinese government continues to sell
weapons to the Burmese armed forces- I will not watch or buy and
merchandise based around the Olympics held in Beijing.
I hope and pray that at
least a few of you will join me in this. Thank you all for your time.

Much love and many hugs to you all. Stay shiny and love everybody.

Dear Friend,

I recently pledged to not watch the Beijing Olympics on television and
wanted to ask you
http://salsa. democracyinaction. org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp. jsp?key=3127

This years summer Olympics will take place in China.
The Chinese
government promotes their Olympic slogan of, ONE WORLD ONE DREAM while
propping up one of the worlds most brutal military dictatorships in Burma.


As you probably saw in the newspapers, last fall hundreds of thousands
of Buddhist monks marched in Burma calling for human rights and
democracy.
With funding and weapons from China, the Burmese regime cracked
down on the peaceful monks, slaughtering hundreds and imprisoning
thousands more.


That crackdown was just the tip of the iceberg.
Using its veto power,
China has blocked the United Nations from stopping the carnage in
Burma.
In a campaign of terror, the Burmese military regime has destroyed
3,200 villages, forcing 1.5 million people to flee their homes.
The
regime has recruited more child soldiers than any other country in the
world.
The regime has also locked up Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's only
imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient.


As a result of China's policies, the UN is yet again making the same
mistakes the world made on Rwanda and Darfur.


http://salsa. democracyinaction. org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp. jsp?key=3127,
or read more.


Unless China changes its policies on Burma, I am going to turn off my
television, refuse to purchase products associated with the Olympics,
and instead do something for Burma on the opening day of the Olympics.


The Beijing Olympics begin on August 8, 2008.
On the same date in
1988, thousands of peaceful protesters were massacred by Burma's regime
during Burma’s first democracy uprising.
This date, 8/8/88, should not
be forgotten.


It is easy to do, all that is asked is to:

- Not watch the Beijing Olympics, specifically the opening and closing
ceremonies.


- Not purchase Olympics souvenirs and merchandise

- During the Olympics not purchase goods from Olympic corporate
sponsors.


Please join me in this effort.

Song of the moment, dedicated to Grandpa Oslund

Hello everyone. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately we had to take my grandfather off the ventilator last night. He passed away this morning around 7am. I will be making something for him and I will of course post it here when I am finished. I wanted to let everyone know because I know some of you were wondering about it. My family and I thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. All my love and hugs to you all. Stay shiny and love everybody.

Song of the Moment: "When I Get Where I'm Going" - Brad Paisley Feat. Dolly Parton

Music Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J6Zfx5qra_g

---------------------
Lyrics:

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going 

Hey everyone! Well DeviantART removed my fanart so I'm resorting back to LiveJournal and my good 'ol website. I'll be updating soon both here and on my website. www.freewebs.com/sweet_jorja  I haven't updated it as of yet but hopefully soon. I have a secret weapon that I won't mention yet but I'm getting it tomorrow *squee* And I'll let y'all know what the deal is. I must go for now. Stay shiny and love everybody.

This is a journal entry copied from my DeviantART account which can be found here. Let me know what you think!! Stay shiny everyone!

--------------------------------------------------------

There's a saying that music is the voice of the heart and the soul. I've found over my 18 years that this is all kinds of true. Every time I hear a song I can picture something in my head. Whether it be me as the subject of the song or just what I think a music video for it might be. I listen to the music that fits my mood. Mostly I listen to country, but sometimes I'll listen to other things. If I'm in an active mood I'll listen to a mix of soundtrack songs. If I'm feelin kind of depressed, I'll listen to some Evanescence mixed with a few sadder country songs. If I'm content or relaxing I'll listen to instrumentals from people like Joshua Bell or other lighter music that I've been introduced to such as the Celtic Women music as introduced to me by the ever sweet . Most times I'll listen to music when I'm on the computer- writing, working on fanart- whatever it may be. Today I found myself listening to my iPod on the way to church, as usual and I was only in the mood to hear certain songs. I would seriously skip over a hundred songs before I found one I felt like hearing. It was then I started thinking about what the soundtrack of my life would be. Now honestly there would be too many songs to mention of course- but I figured I'd list a few. That way if people were interested, they could check them out. It's kind of my way of spreading my own music to you fine people. If you don't like this- well then forgive my rant.

I'd like to see some of the songs on my lovely friend's 'life soundtracks'. Share with me!!

To all the Browncoats, stay shiny. And to all of my friends, luv and hugs.

*Here are a few choice lyrics that have been in my head forever. Yes one of the songs isn't listed- but that's not the point. Stay shiny!*

-------------------------------------------------
"I pray for it to go, God knows I want it to stay. But here I am loving you either way. Somewhere down along the line I guess that love became a crime. This contradiction makes no sense, this is punishment. I feel like this is judgment day I'll raise my hands stand up and say: 'I don't believe I'm innocent!' This is punishment." ~ Punishment - SheDaisy
-------------------------------------------------
"No matter how much your heart is aching. There is beauty in the breaking. When you're broken in a million little pieces and you're trying but you can't hold on anymore. Every tear falls down for a reason. Don't you stop believing in yourself. When you're broken." ~ Broken - Lindsey Haun
-------------------------------------------------
"My racing heart is just the same; why make it strong to break it once again?" ~ Leave Right Now - Will Young
-------------------------------------------------

{If parts of this don't make sense- forgive me. I'm a bit of a moonbrain right now. Stay shiny!}

Humble - I know the meaning of this word now.

Hey everyone! A few people know that I am currently preparing to move into a new place with my aunt and my mother. The landlord was willing to work with us on the deposit- which was a blessing because money is so very tight. We asked the pastor at our church for a loan for the deposit in which we would pay back after we got our current deposit back once we moved. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem. However, due to the renovations on the church and untrustworthy contractors- the church has no extra money. I learned this at the beginning of bible study tonight. I told my mom it was near impossible to get the kind of money we needed on our own in the two weeks we have left before we have to leave our current apartment. She looked at me and said "Ye of little faith. If it's meant to happen, the Lord will make it happen." The pastor told everyone of the troubles with the money and how in order to keep the church from debt he would have to sell our beloved retreat center (the most gorgeous place to spend some quiet time). Afterward he mentioned our troubles and asked if anyone cared to donate or loan. Now it takes a lot to make me even close to crying- but I saw about 8 to 12 people pull out their wallets (basically most of our church) and I almost cried. One of my best friends gave $100 of her own money and said if she needed she would dip into her savings.  Between everyone, they gave $575 and two ladies said once they got their checks at the end of the week- they would give a 'substantial amount'. At that moment- I felt convicted for my lack of faith earlier that evening. Not believing we could get the money in time before we had to be out of our current apartment. I feel completely blessed to know such people like I do. I had never been so humbled in my life as when I saw and heard what people were willing to give to us. It amazes me how generous people can be- whether there is a reason or not. My best friend's family has been so generous to me for the five years I've known them. Even if I had all the money in the world I couldn't pay them back for their kindness. For most of my life I've had trouble trusting people- so I'm always surprised at the kindness others show for me or anyone else I meet. I mean I don't think all people are bad by nature- but I've been hurt so many times by people I'm supposed to be able to trust that now I'm weary of everyone. Just to know people can be this kind- more than this even- it just blows me away. It's just- there are hardly words to describe it.

Okay- thanks for reading this personal ramble about how taken aback I am about kindness. Stay shiny! Love EVERYBODY!
