When you break

I liked Parajournal more than Deadjournal (look at me; the site's not even down yet and I'm alredy referring to it in past tense); I have a special fondness for the things I wrote merely because I convinced myself that I had more freedom in an area with a smaller user-base and I could make a first impression all over again. I think I'll move my Randy layout to my Deadjournal because I love it so much; though if there was any journal I'd have to give up, it would be the dead one. In a heartbeat. Hmm, but moving requires more effort than I'm willing to give because I'd have to change banners and icons. Right now I feel like lazing around the computer, even though several unfinished pictures are calling my name. Let's see if I can post ten entries today.

Not passing go

You get a gold star for helping* me with my video card! ^___^v*Translation: Buying me a new one and installing it while I sat around on my technologically incompetent ass putting on a live performance of the Hamster Dance.

Preach it loud

Finally, some recognition. Some friend of a friend djer asked me to do a layout for her, except that I don't know if I actually will. I enjoy doing this, I like making images for my friends, but I hate receiving no compensation in return. My time is worth something, I'm not going to do something for nothing (simple gratitude doesn't count here) unless I offer a friend of mine. An icon, I could do. It's just 100 x 100 pixels worth of empty space, but a full layout costs an entire background along with whatever coding needs to take place, as well as server space because I host all my images. If I'm going to make you a layout, I'd better be in love with you. (People on my friends list are automatically upgraded to this status.)

Hnph.

Zio is one uncooperative little bastard. I hate you, Zio. You're no longer my favorite PSIV character. I'll worship Grandpappy Dorin now. See how you like that.

Intelligent in a self-deprecating way

This new username of mine allots a great deal amount of freedom that I previously experienced with my Parajournal; except that's merely a spin-off of the main course so I could fiddle around styles and create my magnus opus. I've been commenting more than I normally do in other people's journal; normally I'm the lurker who reads silently in the shadows, never to be acknowledged except by a few choice people. Now I feel I should make my presence known; from hereon, I shall scoff at rejection. The wonders a new identity can provide for you. I imagine this feeling will wear off once I have gotten a decent amount of sleep. Give me a moment to uninstall Photoshop and I will rejoin the living once more. In the meantime, I shall amuse myself by animating gifs for my community profile page.

On second thought

Scratch going to sleep. I tried, but all I could think about was what my next layout would look like and what I could do for my icons, so then I had to drag myself out of bed and resume working on them. Someone shoot me now.

Good morning, friends. I'm off to bed.

I created my stupid Angelique community, someone please make me a background that looks good on 800x600 and 1024x768. ~_~Happy birthday to my friend who never reads her livejournal because she has a dead one XDIf I can't show screenshots of Ragnarok Online then I might as well show you all the Ilvento character running around the Diablo world.How the heck did I ever come up with 150 interests before? o_O;

I think I forgot to send out the memo

I updated my profile page a bit; still haven't created an image for it yet, thanks to a lack of creativity and motivation on my part. I figure what I have up now is good enough to last several days. Still working on the Zio icon, thanks to Muridae from the Phantasy Star community; I'm not sure what I want to do with it, only that I'm looking at "Can Still See the Light" for inspiration. XD I'm thinking about creating an Angelique community; it'd given me the opportunity to pretty up another livejournal and Randy deserves his own little shrine, along with the rest of the cast. ^__^ But laziness takes its toll. ~_~Ah, and I'm laughing at my friend's frustation because livejournal won't load for her. ^__^ How did I ever get by on those free user servers? Mwahahhhaha! Life is good. XDI'll go snack on some ramyun and kimchi now. XD

Now that I've settled in a bit...

He's back on my profile page:Squeek! (\./) >' '< " ` "It's good to be back.
