Just made a new banner. What do you think? I worked pretty hard on it and really like how it came out. I'm quite tempted to make it into a tutorial on my site, but maybe for just an advance icon.Anyway, I've just been chillin' at my house for the past... oh... month? I've been so anti-social. The only people I've seen, other than my parents, are my boyfriend and our friends Josh and Joseph. And...

I realized I haven't submitted a journal in quite a long while, so I thought I'd make a nice one. Thankfully, something actually happened in the past 10 minutes. I was trying to think of a journal topic when a spider crawled on top of my desk. (I was using my laptop with one of those lap desk things.) I quickly ended up leaping to the other side of the room while frantically looking for something...

Jeez, it's been a while!So I finally got that domain I've been wanting for the past, oh, I dunno, 2 years or so? I'm so excited! What I need from you guys, though, is layout ideas/requests and some banner examples. I have basically recycled all of my old resources and put them up on my new site but I trashed my layouts. I just didn't like them. So if you guys need a banner or two and can think of...

I was on Facebook and my boyfriend's sister had something up on her status that I didn't agree with. (Simple viewpoint, both moral and political. I will not state it here since it's not the topic at hand.) I posted my own opinion in the most respectful way I could. That's what posting opinions is about, right?But then, of course, she starts e-yelling and ranting and raving that I'm attacking her...

Our school is going through with some tough financial issues. I know that everyone is going through this lately but I'd like to share something with you. Our band program and arts in general have always seen the short end of the stick vs. other programs. Now with this new budget cut we are facing more cuts than we can afford. They're thinking of cutting 4 hours off our junior director's time here....

So it was my boyfriend and my 11 month anniversary today - almost 1 year! I'm super happy with this past year because of him. We decided to go out to eat at Olive Garden and take a trip to the mall to buy a gift for each other. On the way there we were behind this car that gave me this exact reaction:It gave me both a "WHAT THE F*CK?!?!?!?!" reaction as well as "OMGOMGOMG!" reaction...This girl...

I didn't stay upstairs for much of the Super Bowl this year, simply because I wasn't interested enough. I did take my time, however, to go upstairs and watch the Half Time Show. Did anyone else think it was a waste of time this year? Fergie sounded worse than a drunken goat (according to my boyfriend) and it just wasn't fun...On a brighter note I have 2 things, both tech related:1. I got a new...

I suddenly got a big want to play an escape game, and a scary one at that. So I looked up some scary escape games. You know what I found? A Silent Hill one. Being a Silent Hill fan I had to play it. You have no idea how many times my boyfriend and I screamed and yelled. Some of the creepy pictures that flashed up scared the crap out of us!Then we started playing an old Neopets game... (That so...

I'm so tired of trying to be reviewed. People seem to just like to bash your work and style rather than give you an idea on how to improve. I worked hard on what I made, why not appreciate that as well? I agree that everyone has things to learn, but to write a review or critique something should be constructive. Who seriously takes the time to read through things about you and then tell you how...

My boyfriend and I got off work and decided to go out and get something to take home to eat. So we drove to our local restaurant/bar to get pizza. We ordered and instantly looked at the arcade and went inside to play while we waited. When you get us in that room we don't leave for quite a while, especially when there's South Park pinball that gives you replays if you get past 30 million points. We...

So there are 2 things going on right now that are annoying me quite a bit. Well, one was a few minutes ago, but it's still around now. My boyfriend's playing Dead Space while I'm helping out a bit, and of course he just had to come up to the asteroid part. It was so hard to get past! I swear it took about 10 frustrating times to get through it. The space rocks came around in hordes and just loved...

I feel pretty accomplished today. I finished a new site layout that took me all day. I had started it yesterday but my site's host was down. I guess that's what you have to make do with though! It's pretty greens and blues with a darker feel and features a model dressed in classic Opera attire. Beautiful stuff! If you want to take a look my site's here:...

First: I'm taking layout suggestions/banner requests still. PM if you're interested.Anyway... Now for my real journal:I had a great girl's night with a good friend of mine. We went to the mall and shopped like crazy! I got some pretty great stuff, including sweatshirts that were 90% off. I'm proud of myself for looking for deals. Hot Topic had great deals on earrings and hair clips too, so I'm...

Well I got my next semester schedule just this morning during my homeroom class. I've had it on my old schedule but I never actually took a good look at it until just now. There are some good parts about it and some not-so-good parts... I've got most of my classes with a good friend of mine, which makes me happy because she's pretty smart and she helps me with my pre-calculus. (Which I need lots...

Break is over, and I'm back at school. Last night I tried to be all ready for it by going to bed at 9, since I have to wake up at 6:15. My internal clock wouldn't let me sleep though. I layed in bed watching NCIS from my iPod the whole time, and didn't get some rest until 1. I'm exhausted now. But I guess that's what you get when you play video games 'til 4 am on break days, huh?Anyway, when I get...

I write these too often, but I guess it's because I like talking to/with you guys a lot.I made these delicious french fries for dinner. First time I've ever made them and they actually turned out quite well. I cut 2 potatoes and deep fried them myself. I think I added too much salt though... But I like salt so that's OK.So I just finished my laundry while watching Disney's Mulan. I didn't get to...

I seriously don't want to do laundry. I know it needs to be done, but I want to put it off for another hour or so... NCIS has captured me a bit though, so I'm safe for now. :D I seem to procrastinate a lot though, but only on things that really don't interest me at all. Chores, pointless school work, etc... Who needs pre-calculus anyway?I suddenly find myself in need of hot chocolate. Doesn't that...

Of break. I really don't want to go back to school tomorrow. It was fun to be all rested for once! Plus the video games weren't half bad either.Time to reflect on break:First Few Days I hung out at home with my boyfriend and played Fallout 3 most of the time. Lots and lots of fun, that game is. ;D That's the way most of my break went.Last Monday I've learned my lesson. Never go to Craft Direct...

This topic came to mind about an hour ago and it made me realize how lax some people are. This particularly came in mind when it comes to websites, whether it's a free resource/layout site or small business. I see it happen a lot these days and it got on my nerves a bit.First there's instances where you come across a nice site and find it very charming, and you go to their content/product page to...

Happy New Year! (As if you haven't heard that about 934780 times already...) I just needed to hop on the bandwagon with something to start out my journal... I'm gonna go smack my head on the table now.Anyway, just thought I should start my year on a happy note: I've got the best boyfriend ever, Mibba is a new home of mine, and school's starting to get less hectic. So I think my life's pretty set...
