Calling anyone who's good at art...

I'm looking for someone to make me a mixed fandom layout (Buffy/Angel and Bones are essential, along with some additional combination of Princess Bride, Harry Potter, Pushing Daisies, Veronica Mars and Dr. Horrible)

What will you get in return: I will write you a fic, if you like. That's basically all I can do. If you write fic, I can make a post reccing it. I don't know. Possibly pick a present and I might be able to give it to you.

Thank God! And a fic.

Guess who found a dress for the bar mitzvah next Shabbat? That'd be me!!! After three separate trips to four different stores, I finally found one with an appropriate sleeve length (to the elbow), neckline (shallow, narrow v-neck, don't even need a tank top), skirt length (mid-calf). It's black and silky. I get to look for jewlery and heels some other time. Has anyone else noticed that sleeves and skirts seem to get shorter and shorter and necks seem to be getting lower and lower? I was really afraid I was going to look like a shiksa slut in front of the whole shul. But now I'm not! Yay!!!!

In related news, I finished my first fic from my fic request list (still 6 spaces to sign up. You can even sign up for a second one if you want.)

Feedback: This is me being serious for a second. Do you know how much it makes my day for someone to take 10 seconds to tell me that they read my fic and/or that they liked it? Seriously, all you need to type it "good job" or "nice fic" or "that was semi-amusing for a small portion of my life" or even just ":-)". Those responses are all typed out for you- all you have to do it copy and paste them into a response box. 20 seconds, max, and it will make my day, I promise you.
Dedication: For kairosimperfect , we have Angel and Giles with the prompt "warning." Thanks for giving me my fic, K. The prompt struck me as funny, so here you go!

Hebrew stuffs

My long boring ramble about myself was actually supposed to be an intro to and explanation of the Hebrew/Judaic terms I use often on my journal. So here we go:

Abba: father i.e my father.
Eema: mother i.e my mother.
Bubby: (this is actually Yiddish) grandmother i.e. my grandmother (my abba's eema. My eema's parents are Grandma and Grandpa).
Saba: (this really is Hebrew) grandfather i.e. my grandfather. (Sadly you probably won't be hearing a lot about my saba because he passed away a year ago this August. Although if you check out my Israel post, you can see that he did some pretty awesome stuff back when he was in the Israeli army fighting for independence back in 1948.)
Shabbat: the sabbath; also sometimes shabbos. It's Friday, 18 minutes pre-sundown to an hour and five minutes after sundown Saturday night. No electricity, so I get on literally *right* *afterwards*.
Shul: synagogue. I go most every Shabbat and pray and sing and hang with my friends and eat food afterwards.
Havdalah: The ceremony (kinda) to end Shabbat.
Torah: Jewish bible, refering to both the text itself AND the scroll that we read in shul on shabbat, Monday and Thursday which looks like this.
Kippa: Scullcap or yarmulke. I don't wear one because it's for men, but it looks like this (my abba and the brother right under me wears one like this) or this (my 2nd oldest brother wears one like this) or this (my second to youngest brother wears one like this) or this (my youngest brother wears one of these) (okay, there are a lot of types and everyone in my family wears a different ones) and I might mention them as a marker for how I recognize other Jews.
Talmud: Jewish oral law. This one's complicated, so you get a link. I have 7 periods of talmud a week in school. I am good at Talmud despite the fact that I hate learning it.
Chumash: Another name for torah. In school, the class where we learn bible- 5 books of Moses, that whole dealio with Creation and Noah and Abraham and getting out of Egypy and trekking through the desert for 40 years- is called Chumash class (3 periods a week; I enjoy it far more than Talmud, which is unfortunate because we get half as much as it.)
Navi: Prophets. Also a class. Twice a week. Also one I enjoy more than Talmud. Also one helplessly downtrodden into a third of the Talmud periods.
Kosher: Jewish dietary laws and restrictions. Now also a word for something that's true or on the up-and-up. Here's some more info on that.
Bar Mitzvah: Boy's coming of age celebration. Happens when he turns 13 (For girls it's called a bat mitzvah and it's at 12). The reason this'll turn up is because my brother's is next week.

If I mention anything you don't understand, totally comment and I'll explain. We'll have popcorn and chocolate and I'll make milkshakes!

Hey, my second one today!
