UTM-bound
June 28, 2009
A few days ago I went to orientation for college. I had an awesome time up there. When we went to register for classes, we all split up into groups according to our majors. There were probably around 15 people in the fine arts group. When we got to the building, all the music majors split away from the group to go elsewhere, while the rest of us headed inside. If I remember correctly, there were 5 graphic design majors (that's including me), 3 theatre majors, and 2 studio arts majors. We were all in there trying to get classes with each other. It was rather humorous. I know at least 1 or more people in all my classes.I honestly like the schedule I'm going to have, though it is 18 hours, and my Tuesdays & Thursdays are packed full of classes.
Monday & WednesdayNow, if you'll look around the site, you'll notice that some of the links are now just plain text. Why? Well, look to the right of all them and it will say REVAMPING. Yes, I'm revamping small parts of the site that I deem not worthy of existing anymore. That sounded harsh. Haha. Oops, I meant to say...Okay, that's what I meant to say really.

If you remember, in my last blog I said all the reads would be in PDF format. Well, that's not completely true. It will mostly just be short stories and things like that that will be in PDFs.
New Affiliates
June 21, 2009
EDIT: The new layout is up! The name of the layout "I don't want this moment to ever end" comes from the song "With Me" by Sum 41. I absolutely love that song. It is so beautiful. :) I do hate the navigation for this layout though. The hover effect hasn't worked on my computer, maybe your's it has? I don't know. It is frustrating. I've also added 1 Avril Lavigne PSD. I should have several more PSD's coming soon.This isn't a huge update, but I do want you to be ready for the new reads section that will be coming your way soon! All reads will be in PDF files once I get to work.
The layout I've been working on for the past couple of weeks is still not ready. I can't fix one minor code that messes the whole thing up. It is really nerve racking. It's what I get when I want a centered layout with 3 columns, huh? The columns are all over the page, and I'm getting very annoyed cause I love the layout. :/ It will probably just go in the "fail" bin with 4 other layouts. :( I have another layout I made that I can code though, so no worries, there SHOULD be a better one up soon.
One more site update before I go to my life: 5 new affiliates!! Well, hopefully. I haven't had time to check my e-mail lately, and I kind of left it sitting there for about a month without checking it. So, hopefully, some of them will forgive me for being a lazy bum. Haha. You can check their sites out via the affiliate list: Brandee, Chrissi, Clare, Jasmine, and Steff. :D
To my sad pathetic life, I've been going through so much crap in the past week, yes, week that I'm ready to scream. Yes, I'm starting with guys... My boyfriend and I broke up. For some reason, I'm attracting jerks this year. Oh, well. Then, I've been trying to code that pesky layout.
Thursday afternoon I'll be leaving for college orientation & registration!!! I can't wait! I get to sign up for all those classes I'm sure I'll be whining about eventually. Haha. I'll also get yet another campus tour even though I've been there enough to get around ok. Bad news, I won't return until Friday night. Which is not a long time to be gone, but I really wanna get to work on this site. I've neglected it for long enough. :P I'm going to shut up and get to work now.
High School Graduate
June 8, 2009
Wow, over a month since I updated. So much crap happened after I posted that last blog. I went through a horrible and well-needed break-up. I can't believe I didn't see how much of a jerk that guy was. (Now I'm dating someone else who actually cares about me. :P) Lol. Then, I had finals, graduation, and a band concert to prepare for. Then, after graduation, I was on vacation in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. It was lovely up there.I've been having ideas for the site, but half of them have blown up in my face. I kinda wanted to make an online magazine, but I have no ideas and don't really want to work on it by my lonesome. Then, I have to get logos, layouts, and anything else ready for the studio I will be working for. I won't only be head of graphics, but I will be acting as well. We start filming next year, and I can't wait. I'd tell you a little about it, but I don't want to spoil anything. I'll just tell you my character's name in the film we'll be working on next year. Ready for it? Mad Madagan McGee. I love it! Okay, mostly cause I got to pick the first name. Haha.
I also wanted to do a weight loss article "sub-site", but that kinda went down the drain. I've got so many ideas, but either I don't know how to do it, can't do it by myself, or I get swamped with loads to do. I'm going to try to get some work done today, hopefully.
Not Quite Open
May 2, 2009
EDIT: You can expect to see a whole lot of avatars coming soon. It is the only thing I could actually even think to make. I won't upload them all at once since there will be so many, but there should at least be around, oh, let's say, 30+ per update.
If anyone has any suggestions for things such as glitters, quotes, pixels, animations (which I have to get back to making those sometime, even though they take forever to do), layouts (uncoded & coded), banners, buttons, what-have-you, please just leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you'd like to see because I'm a blank sheet of paper with ideas right now.
Also, I'm looking for sub-domain hostees and affiliates. So, apply if you'd like. ^^ I should be getting the Ad page up sometime soon, so you'll be able to apply for that, too. As for now, it'll be free though. Later, say about September, it will not. So, I suggest when the Ad page is ready, apply away if you don't want to pay. Hehe, that rhymed.
Okay, so the site is still kinda on hiatus, but I figured I could at least put it back to open. I haven't had much time to work on anything except this layout since I have had a drama play I had to work on and so much other things going on. I feel like I'm barely home at all anymore. I finally got a new vehicle. It is a beautiful 2002 Chevy S10 black with silver racing stripes. I am absolutely in love with my truck.
Today, my cousin (Jess), my friends (Coty & Willie), and I went to play putt-putt. I won with 45! Willie had 46. Coty had 55. Jess had 56. Pretty weird scores, eh? I love putt-putt golf. It is SO much fun for me. I think this is one of the very few games I've actually won. Haha.
If you noticed, there are a lot of new pages that don't even exsist yet, such as the "ad" page. I still have a lot I'm going to change on the site, but I haven't quite got to it yet.
This brings me to my next little topic. I HAVE ONLY 20 DAYS LEFT UNTIL I GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL!!!! I cannot wait. I'm ready for college, though I'll miss all my friends here (except Dee...we're roommates). I'm really excited for college, though. I'm ready to actually crack down on study more about graphic design & psychology (my major & minor). Hopefully I won't be too busy study to take care of the site, right?
