Pointlessness.

Unless I somehow find the energy to pull myself out of bed on Saturday and type an entire blog about France, you won't get another blog from me until next week. Again, I have a fair few things to talk about, so I'll do the number thing. Again.

1. You should have already noticed ... I changed my header picture. I didn't like the old one, and I didn't expect to keep it for so long... so now you can have a picture of my eyes staring you down. My eyelashes look really long at the corners. Weird.

2. My #3 in my last blog told you I'd hurt my thumb in Tech last week. Yesterday, we were doing practical Tech, and I was close to tears in pain. In the end, my Tech teacher did most of my work. I love that woman. It doesn't hurt much now, though, so that's good.

3. I've been working my butt off today trying to solve this problem I have and finish a design for something I can't tell you about ... yet. You may or may not remember me mentioning a "secret project" quite a while back... yeah, I was working on that. Don't badger me into telling you - all will be revealed once it's complete. If I can get it to work. Stupid thing.

4. Besides that, I've been making a lot of signature banners. My favourites?

 Whoa, I just noticed this now, and I find it pretty freaky: Each one contains a different main character for the Nickelodeon show H20: Just Add Water (one of my favourite shows when I was younger). I knew I was using the actors, but I didn't realise my favourites included one of each. Heh. Coincidences = <3

5. I'm writing this at 11:20pm while concentrating on other things, so I keep forgetting what I was going to write. Hmph. Memory of a goldfish.

6. I've been getting better at posting on my Dailybooth. Not terrific, yet, but I posted yesterday and today, so it's going somewhere!

7. Speaking of pictures and stuff, I'm going to have loads of pictures from France and the Pink concert, so I might make two blogs: one of pictures, one of my rambling about what a great experience it was. Heh. ;D

8. I take up way too many challenges on HPFC, and I am way too addicted to drabble collabs. Doh.

Keep blogging!
... This was pointless.

Maybe I'll wake up for once.

Title has nothing to do with the blog. I'm just listening to Going Under by Evanescence.

I have a lot of things I want to share with you today because I've been bottling up all my blog ideas and I think I might spontaneously combust into flames if I don't get it all off my chest. And, chances are, I'll probably forget half of the things I was planning to tell you, because I am very forgetful. Hence the reason one of my friends called Jess (I have three friends called Jess ... and I talk to two other people called Jess. Ah!) calls me 'Goldie' ... which is short for Goldfish ... because Goldfish have short memories. Moving swifty on!

1.

You know I said I was going to make a better Kiro icon?
← That would be it. Isn't it so much better than the first one I made?
(This is where you nod obediently despite what you really think, 'kay?)



2. I figured out how to animate pictures! I'm really pleased with myself. Unfortunately, even when I optimise the animated icon or whatever, it takes up a lot of space, so I've only made one so far. And it's Hermione/Ron, which is a ship I don't even support, but whatever. When inspirations strikes, you just go with it, even if it's out of the norm. I've got a couple more in mind, too. Unfortunately, for some God unknown reason, the icon doesn't work on the blog (thank Merlin for Ctrl+Z), so I'm just going to link you to it, 'cos I posted it on DeviantART ... So, just clicketh here to see it. I'm really excited about it ^.^

3. Hayley G. Hoover wrote a really lovely, truthful blog the other day. Well, I say blog. It was more a piece of creative writing, and it's so inspirational. And so, here is the link to A Pretentious Portrait of Pretension. It's not too lengthy, it'll only take a couple of minutes to read, but it really is beautiful. Hayley is a fantastic writer.

4. I've started making stamps, now, too. I've only made one - and I have a second half-finished. It's not fantastic; I'm not keen on it. But I have a ton of ideas, thanks to my thoughts keeping me up last night, so I'm going to go on a stamp-frenzy once I've finished today's entry. I'll share with you the one I made...

Now, if you know me well enough, you know I squeal or squeak when I'm excited/in fangirl mode. However, it doesn't sound like a squeal or a squeak. It sounds like "squee". Imagine a really squeaky voice saying "squee" really fast, or for a long time (squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee), and that's what you get when I'm excited. It generally happens when I read fluff, or slash, but it also happens nearly every time I see Kiro (Cinema Bizarre) or Dougie Poynter (McFLY), or I just generally get excited over something. Because I'm a nerd, I'm allowed to obsess and overreact.*

5. Today is Emma Watson's 20th birthday. In honour of that, I made an Emma Watson signature banner. It's alright, I quite like it, but I can see room for major improvement. Happy Birthday, Emma! ♥

6. The layout on KW changed drastically overnight, and honestly, I think it's bearable but awful. It looks like a proper kids' site now. I mean, it is a kid/teen site ... but now it looks like a site for little kids, now for kids aged 7-18! I don't like it, but we're going to have to live with it. Allen and Tanya - people who work with the site (Tanya runs it) - said they're working on skins for people who want calmer, duller themes. I will definitely be using these skins because the site truly looks horrible now. It's so bright and childish. Yuck. I so prefer the old KW... *sigh* When I signed in earlier, I didn't expect it, and I freaked out. But at the end of the day, I'm only on there for the people, and until I can contact all my friends off of KW, I will remain an active member.

7. I'm adding this because I forgot what else I wanted to say, and so the title will relate to the blog xD Sometimes, I seriously think my life is a dream. Not that anything special or extraordinary happens, because they don't. It's just ... the friends I have are too good to be true, sometimes even I surprise myself with some of the things I say, and I get really bad cases of dejá vu where I dream something - an ordinary, everyday situation - and then it happens within the next forty-eight hours. I just keep thinking to myself, "I'm going to wake up in a minute. Wait ... I never think like this when I'm actually dreaming." Heh.

"We're all so laughably similar in our attempts to be sickeningly different." - Hayley G. Hoover.


On that note, I'll leave you, because I've forgotten everything else I wanted to say (told you it would happen). Keep blogging. (:


*I just spent twenty minutes trying to find that video to link it. I'm so dedicated to nerdiness.
