27 Penelope Icons  
I really loved the movie Penelope. Everyone should go check it out. I wanted to make icons for Penelope but I wanted them to be different. Plus I've been having creative blocks so I was trying to do new things and just really experiment. So a few of them look a little odd, but I still like them. Let me know if you think there pretty or ugly or whatever. Thx. There are 27 icons.

1-15 Christina Ricci as Penelope
16-27 James McAvoy as Max

Kate Ross: Cut to the Quick  
Dipper shot a shrewd glance at him. There had to be more to the story than that. You did not ask a cove to be a groomsman at your wedding in return for his chucking you out of a gambling house. But if Mr Kestrel had done something handsome, there would be no getting him to talk about it.

He fell to polishing the buttons on Julian's coat. "A lot of the swell mob goes to weddings," he reminisced. "If there's a big crowd and you got the right kind of duds, you can mingle with the guests, and nobody'll ever know you wasn't invited. They're bad places to try and lift any wipes, on account of all the blubbering that goes on, everybody's always using theirs. Tickets is easy to get, though--nobody's thinking about what time it is. I never had the heart to work a wedding, meself. When people is as happy as that, how can you queer it for 'em by filing their clys? I ask you, sir."

"With sensibilities like yours, I often wonder how you ever managed to steal anything at all."

"I picked and chose me mark, sir, when I could afford to. Gentry coves like you, sir, as looked as if they wouldn't miss a few quid here and there."

"You can't judge a man's finances by his clothes. Some of the heaviest swells in London have some of the lightest pocketbooks."

"Oh, yes, I know that now, sir."

"Since you came to work for me, you mean," said Julian, amused.

****

"If everyone who died with unpunished sins on his conscience came back as a ghost, the living would be crowded out of England."

"You're cynical. I thought you would be. Can you sneer?"

"With terrifying effect."

"Oh, do it, please! I want to see it!"

"I'm afraid you're much too young to withstand it. I should be accused of stunting your growth--perhaps even sending you into a decline."

"I wouldn't go into a decline. I'm robust. My governess says so. But, come along, I mustn't make you late to dinner."

****

"Time to wake up, sir," Dipper ventured.

"What time is it?" came a sepulchral voice from under the bedclothes.

"Seven o'clock, sir."

"Oh, my God." Julian dragged himself out from under the covers. "Don't--" he began, but Dipper was already parting the window curtains. Julian dove under the sheet again to block out the light. "It's appalling," he groaned, "simply appalling, to think that anyone was ever so benighted as to worship the sun. Dipper, if I ever tell I mean to have a house in the country, immerse me in cold baths and singe me with mustard plasters till my sanity returns."

Dipper was glad to find him in such a tractable mood. When Mr Kestrel was really out of temper, he did not mock or complain, but went about in a tautly strung silence more disturbing than any show of rage.

Daniel Hales | Licorice  
If it's been over ten years since you last tried

black licorice, you may now love it.
If you come across a bus stop in mid-December
someone may have written i heart you with
their finger on the window's condensation.

It may be fresh enough you can tell

where she pressed her forefinger down
hardest and whether or not she wore gloves.

It may be that what you think is love

Is no more so than a clump of pink insulation
hanging strangely in a trashed storefront

is a freshly butchered ham.

If you sleep like a manger scene
boxed up in the attic for half a century
you may be in love, have some rare
form of bipolar, or both, plus really thirsty.
There is an explanation for the river's
freezing only at the mouth of its tributary,

translucent necklace of ice.

It may be you are actually as alone as you feel,
that it will only exponentiate.
That this is what scared you so much in the darkness.

Pirate Shenanigans  

As promised, a third and slightly (less silly instalment in my series, which I have now decided to call "How do you know if you're a pirate....you just ARRRRR" (because nothing is awesomer than a pun)

Cross posted in [info]dracoxhermione, [info]hp_fanfiction,and [info]dramione

Title: Pirate Shenanigans
Author: [info]imogen_penn
Rating: PG 13
Summary: "Draco was fairly certain that good girls shouldn’t kiss like this. In fact, he was pretty sure that good girls couldn’t kiss like this. Which meant that Hermione Granger was not as good as she was made out to be. Interesting."

Welcome to Hiroshima | Mary Jo Salter  
is what you first see, stepping off the train:
a billboard brought to you in living English
by Toshiba Electric. While a channel
silent in the TV of the brain

projects those flickering re-runs of a cloud
that brims its risen columnful like beer
and, spilling over, hangs its foamy head,
you feel a thirst for history: what year

it started to be safe to breathe the air,
and when to drink the blood and scum afloat
on the Ohta River. But no, the water's clear,
they pour it for your morning cup of tea

in one of the countless sunny coffee shops
whose plastic dioramas advertise
mutations of cuisine behind the glass:
a pancake sandwich; a pizza someone tops

with a maraschino cherry. Passing by
the Peace Park's floral hypocenter (where
how bravely, or with what mistaken cheer,
humanity erased its own erasure),

you enter the memorial museum
and through more glass are served, as on a dish
of blistered grass, three mannequins. Like gloves
a mother clips to coatsleeves, strings of flesh

hang from their fingertips; or as if tied
to recall a duty for us, Reverence
the dead whose mourners too shall soon be dead,
but all commemoration's swallowed up

in questions of bad taste, how re-created
horror mocks the grim original,
and thinking at last They should have left it all
you stop. This is the wristwatch of a child.

Jammed on the moment's impact, resolute
to communicate some message, although mute,
it gestures with its hands at eight-fifteen
and eight-fifteen and eight-fifteen again

while tables of statistics on the wall
update the news by calling on a roll
of tape, death gummed on death, and in the case
adjacent, an exhibit under glass

is glass itself: a shard the bomb slammed in
a woman's arm at eight-fifteen, but some
three decades on—as if to make it plain
hope's only as renewable as pain,

and as if all the unsung
debasements of the past may one day come
rising to the surface once again—
worked its filthy way out like a tongue.

I wish my life were this interesting--if I knew it could be, I would've been a cop.  
Liska stormed into the cubicle, her face pinched with temper, cheeks pink with cold. Kovac watched her with dread because he knew the look and what it meant for the quality of his day. Still, he didn't move as she bore down on him. She slugged his left upper arm as hard as she could. It was like being hit with a ball peen hammer.

'Ouch!'

'That was for ditching me last night,' she announced. 'I waited for you, and because I waited for you, Leonard cornered me and gave me the third degree about the Nixon assault and how Jamal Jackson couldn't be tied to it in any ways. Now he's got it in his head that Jackson can somehow claim false arrest and use it in his suit against the department.'

'What suit?' he asked, rubbing the sore spot.

'The suit Jackson's threatening. Brutality. Against me.'

Kovac rolled his eyes. 'Oh, for Christ's sake. We've got the video of him beating me. Let him try to sue. If Leonard thinks Jackson has a case, he's got his head so far up his ass, we should call the people at Guinness. It's gotta be some kind of record.'

'I know,' Liska said, calming. She tossed her purse in a deep desk drawer and dropped her briefcase in her chair. 'I'm sorry I belted you. I had a rotten night. [My ex] came by. I didn't get much sleep.'

'Oh, jeez. I'm not gonna have to hear about sex, am I?'

Liska's face went dark again, and she lunged across the cubicle and popped him a second time in exactly the same spot.

'Ouch!'

Elwood stuck his huge head around the side of the half-wall. 'Do I need to call the police?'

'Why?' Liska demanded, shrugging out of her coat. 'Is being a knothead a crime now?'

Kovac rubbed his arm. 'I guess I said the wrong thing.'

'Again,' Elwood added. 'Did she do that to your nose?'

Kovac tried to catch his reflection in the dark screen of his computer monitor, though he already knew how it looked: puffy and red and lumpy as an old drunk's. At least it wasn't broken for the umpteenth time.

'Physical abuse of men by women,' Elwood said. 'One of society's great taboos. Victim Services can probably hook you up with a support club, Sam. Should I call Kate Conlan?'

Kovac threw a pen at him. 'Why don't you go take a flying leap?'

Dust to Dust, Tami Hoag
