The World According to Xie  
Some people, when told they're opinionated and somewhat cantekerous bitches, try to become a kinder, gentler version of themselves.

Others decide to embrace it.

KT made my mind up by creating this banner for me, to adorn my more opinionated fangirl rants:



I retrofitted a few recent rants opinion pieces with the banner. Also posts about my fangirl activities.

Allow me to squee.

KT has some mad talent!

Your icon is cute :p

Hmmm, interesting question, but no. She doesn't do any freehand design, she's a computer graphics/website designer.

I lived with an artist in my early 20s - an artist who was also a violinist, LOL, so that's weird. But Justin's artwork is nothing like hers, I would say hers was actually rather like Adrienne Bennett's, the artist in the wheelchair. Although I guess technically Adrienne and Justin are both abstract painters, Justin does MUCH less representational work than Adrienne does, or my ex does.

I don't really know where the paintings I envision for Justin come from, I just go into the part of my brain where Justin is, and ask him what he's painting or wants to paint, and type what he tells me.

This might be a sign of mental illness, I don't know. ;)

Let your bitch flame shine bright, baby! We are the ones who will lead the way when the world is all dark...

(Either that, or we are one of those angler fish, who let their flame shine in order to attract smaller, dumber fish so that we might eat them...)

What's wrong with being an opinionated, cantankerous bitch?

*points to icon*

I'm just sneaky about it. Til someone or something pisses me off.

Very cool banner. KT is to be commended.

Or bombarded with coffee. Just saying.

And, hey, did you hear? Unmarried women in this country are the majority over the marrieds. Interesting, huh?

Ah, I got a matching icon! *eyesit*
Anyways, as I haven't read all of the previous 61 comments already made, this may or may not have been mentioned before but there's like one scene (though not of B/J but J/C(hris Hobbs) *coughsupphlegm*) in the storage room for the sports stuff where you get
the
closest close-up of Justin's hand when reaching for the soda (before that fateful handjob, remember?). The sheer comparison of his hand and Hobbs' hand is mind boggling! He's got really
big, manly, hairy
hands...
