ohbooth: (Wings Winter Classic Emblem)

New Layout and Pimpage

I told you that previous one wouldn't last long, (I don't even know if everyone saw it). Anyways, my shiny new Red Wings layout (in honor of the Winter Classic Game on Jan 1st, yes, I know you all are like 'WTF?' but it is hiatus, and I love hockey WAY more than a lot of things, so there ya go) was 'edited' by My Twin ([livejournal.com profile] bobbinrob since this is public and some people may not know who that is), the original was created by [livejournal.com profile] mintyapple .

My Twin also made the header (all on her own, she is a genius and puts up with my picky ass with more grace than most would) out of pictures I took at the last game I went to :P 

So you notice only ONE person in the banner right? Well there is a reason for that, he has been traded all three previous years, and since the Winter Classic game is played by a different team each year, he has suited up (and will again this year since he is on our team) in every single one! He is the ONLY player in the NHL that can make that claim! And he gave us a shutout against Chicago (the team we are playing against in the Winter Classic tomorrow) last night!

OH, also another little fun fact for ya, these two teams (My Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks) have played against each other more than any other two teams in NHL history. The Winter Classic will be our 701st time playing them since the league started (helps that we are both Original Six teams and in the same Conference). Will also be the first time TWO original Six teams play in the Classic. So excited, seriously!! If you are interested, more facts/details HERE.
 
Sorry for boring you with the hockey facts, LOL, I love that stuff!!!

And oh, pimpage time now: [livejournal.com profile] alena2b  made amazing calendars for 2009. One Jensen one HERE and one Jared one HERE. They print up beautifully and even with the two Calendars I already have, I am thinking I need two more, I mean, I do have FOUR walls afterall :P And the boys are just so pretty resistance is futile. So go, flee, tell her how awesome they are!

YES! Love that mood theme!!! Run Jared!! You're gonna get naked, gonna get naked!!!

702 times? That seems like a lot, but I guess when you think about it, it's not that much.

Edit: btw, the layout looks nice. ♥

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-12-31 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's not THAT much considering we've been playing since 1926 :)

And hey, did you see the show n Feb? Steve's? February 8 at 10pm.

I love your mood theme! Is it all Jared at cons? If so, where can I find it for my LJ?

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-12-31 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No, sorry hun, I would have let you know if I had one of those LOL, I do know how you love the man. It was made for me by my Twin for my birthday, so it has a little bit of all my faves.

Oh, what a cool birthday present! And I love your icon too!

Thanks, sweetie!

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-12-31 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, she did them in B&W (fave color scheme) and used all my faves and a few of the people she had you get auto's for me for as a little 'hint' :P

Yup, had her make that icon for me too, after I saw that part in the Con vids, I was literally falling off my chair laughing at the irony, I mean, really?! Like he needed to do ANYTHING to be ready for that LOL

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2008-12-31 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you seen them? The Beanies they are wearing? They all look like a where's waldo book! I told my Mom "Do NOT let Dad get one!"

And LOL, I think Jared has gotten enough beanies to last a lifetime!

I made an icon like that last night LOL! Forgot you uploaded it! I totally just could have stolen!

ext_16833: (Default)

[identity profile] bobbinrob.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
lmao but they are kinda fun still!
;)
Jared can never have enough beanies, Im sure T would agree with me!!

oh wee well great minds hey, and look at you becoming an icon making guru!

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I think they would look better on a chick :P You know, ,like ME :P I mean, they DO have that little puff thing on top, not exactly manly!

Yeah yeah, I forget that you and the other parts of my brain are friends now :)

HA! I wouldn't exactly call me a guru, I just crop the hell out of them :P Can't do anything more extravagant than that!
ext_16833: (Default)

[identity profile] bobbinrob.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
true they are more suited for a girl :)

lol croping is an awesome start, good cropping is super hard, so yeah dont underestimate that!

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone says that, Tith tried to explain the 'rules' of cropping, and I was like o_O...? LOL, I just do it, and she said that means I have like a natural eye for it, and that is good. So yay I suppose :P

Really how hard can it be to crop, you just pick what you want to focus on, no biggie...
ext_16833: (Default)

[identity profile] bobbinrob.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
the problem is that a lot of people mess us what is usually call "aspect ratio" which means the icons end up looking odd and weird, and its hard to crop interesting ways.
love the new name and everything here btw, all very uniform and neat :)

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? See that's the kind of thing Tith was talking, and I was like "what?" What the hell is aspect ratio? Like how do you mess it up? What does a 'weird' one look like?

Okay, like is this one okay? *points* The reason I like it (and cropped it like that) is cause the background was good, so I could crop closer, and with cropping right below Kristin's nose, I cut off her at the same point roughly that Tom was cut off by laying his head on her (right below his nose). It just looked good to me that way. Is that weird? LOL

Oh thanks, I am still messing with it. I changed the 'recent entries' to "Rookies" and the 'Archive' to "Veternas" do you think that's okay? Does it make sense to like 'non-fans' I mean, that is pretty universal, new and old. I was gonna go with 'Recent Acquisitions' and 'Previous Trades' but that may be too wordy. What do you think?

And what about the comments? 'Cheer for the Wings' is good?
ext_16833: (Default)

[identity profile] bobbinrob.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
well generally people experience issues with aspect ration because they resize and try and squish the icon so nthe people look either fatte, thinner or just too stretched, which is why you whould always crop properly..like these ones..not so good, do you see what I mean?

good cropping should be like this

does that make sense hon? oh I like that one, yeah I like that very much its a nice crop yep :)

yeah rookies and verterans is perfect I think and yeah cheer for the wings is cute :)

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, I see what you mean :) yeah, those are bad! LOL, where did you even find them? How do they get like that, they like make an 'unequal' picture into a square, so it is squished or stretched? I always make sure before I resize to 100x100 that the proportions are an equal square, all sides even and such, and no one even had to tell me that, it is just common sense! How do people fuck that up?

And YAY! glad my wording works!!! *struts around fancy new themed layout* too bad I can't get like pucks and hockey sticks for the little people emblems LOL

Thanks!! I really liked that one, I cropped that pic a TON of ways! LOL And this one too *points* I like how it looks like Kristin is floating toward him in this one! :)

Did you see Steve has a Concert in Feb?
ext_16833: (Default)

[identity profile] bobbinrob.livejournal.com 2009-01-01 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
lol I have my sources :p and glad that you can see what I mean :)
the problem is that they cut the picture and then try and "make it fit" in the aquare, and yeah it ends badly as you can see
lol

haha that would be cute!
she is very floaty but it works yep :0
oh cool go Steve!

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-02 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully he will have another in March when you are here though, that's why the Feb show worries me :/

I noticed the layout late last night, but I had to sleep before I commented with something crazy...so ummm...what's his name? ;)

Anyways, I love the layout, and I actually like the 'go between' layout you had up as well. *lol*

*hugs*
~C~

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-02 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
OMG!!!! LMAO! I talk all about him and don't mention his name!!

The music one? Yeah, I liked it too :)

Hockey layout is so ftw! And so very you! :D

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-06 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!! Did you notice the changed 'titles' for things too? I am all hockeyed out! I did that part myself though :) kinda proud too!

[identity profile] briethehippo.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes I did! It's so cute with the rookies & veterans etc :D

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
YAY! :) Hee, and I make EVERYONE a Red Wings fan, cause to leave a comment, you have to click 'cheer for the wings' and you know, those kinds of subliminal messages are strong!

[identity profile] briethehippo.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, yeah I noticed that too. Rofl, next thing you know it'll be

"So Brie, do you follow any sports?"
"Yup! Hockey FTW!"
"Like field hockey?"
"Pffft, no! Field hockey is for pussies. Ice hockey FTMFW! Red Wings all the way baby!"
"O_o"

[identity profile] ohbooth.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
YES!!! See, it's already working! :P

And they are hot too :) Damn, I have a good icon somewhere, must be on the HD, but you would have seen it already if I added it anyways, cause you stalk my icons :P

[identity profile] briethehippo.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, there are some hunky fellows on the Wings. I seem to recall you posting a thing with all the players some time back.

ROFL, oh please. As if you don't do the same thing :P
