Alright, because I've been asked, this tutorial is sort of a collaboration of the techniques I've been using lately for my icons - and I probably will keep using in the forseeable future. I was asked for specifics, but because I don't save the .psd's, (read: big mistake) it's near impossible to use guesswork to make individual tutorials. So, using this tutorial alone, you should be able to make many like icons.

But don't worry - if I use a specfic major texture or technique, I'll address it. :]

I finally got around to changing the settings...about three years too late. So I have hundreds of posts not friend's only, and that's my fault.
But I'm gonna be showing off more stuff here now, and I'd like to know who's viewing.
So comment to be added. <3

Well, there's nothing left to do now but hope that I can make up for that disappointment with this year.
I'm not putting anything under 'audition' on the list. That's basically setting myself up for disappointment.
Yeah. Like I did just then. Why I'm sad now.

1) Stop correcting people.
2) Get college stuff accomplished.
3) Try. At everything.

Two out of three for last year. Hey, if it were rock paper scissors, I would have won, right?
Correcting is something I do without realizing, but I think I've gotten better about it. 

This year's resolutions are simpler and more general.

1) Stop trying to "try and be right" (but in my house, defending your point is "trying to be right").
2) Loose the water weight.
3) Try and be more socially active.

I think I can do that.
