enamouredI am happy now, because I went to the grocery store and bought myself a carton of chocolate milk and some of the crunchy granola bars I like. Yay, food!
I am mad because my finals have two days separating them. The speech final is on the day for all the Monday/Wednesday 9:30 to 10:50 classes, on Monday. Then there's my history final, which is on the day for all the Tuesday/Thursday 9:30 to 10:50 classes--Thursday. Not fair, yo. [sniffs]
I fell asleep on our couch last night, and since then the History Channel has been on. I have an irrational love of the History Channel. I've been watching Dead Men's Secrets since about 11 this morning.
RANDOM QUESTION: what are some of your favorite fonts? Decorative, plain, sans-serif, so on.
For general purposes, I like Arial, Verdana, and Tahoma. For decorative, I like Scribble (the one used in the "yes... oh yes" icon), Jenkins 2.0, Bitch Cakes, and Wendy Medium.
I ask because I'm looking for new places to get fonts. I love Da Font, but I'm wondering where else I can get neat fonts, especially scripty ones or easy-to-read print handwriting-type fonts.
PS: Will take requests for icons. Want something to do as I put off studying (well, it's OKAY! I know practically all I need to know for the history exam, just need to read the last few chapters, and besides, that exam's on THURSDAY! [g]).

Date: 2005-05-06 08:06 pm (UTC)The font Sharp is... well, sharp. Crisp and clear and overall quite yummy.
AlphaMack AOE is my favorite messy font.
LainieDaySH is the best script font ever, followed closely by Violation.
Requiem has the whole grunge look going on, but it's not very legible in smaller sizes; the same rings true for Base 02. (Both are good for headers and wallpapers.)
Bodoni Slapp is different (in a good kind of way).
I'm a font junkie, so I have many more suggestions... those're just the ones that hit me right off the bat.
I think most of them can be found on Da Font.. otherwise I can send them to you if you want.
