Work Report Procrastination? I Think So.

Huzzah! I’ve somehow survived the first week of school *throws confetti*.

So because of a certain driving test examiner strike (>=/) I’ve been taking a bus for one hour to school everyday. It’s sort of killer because I have to wake up two hours before my first class which means on Tuesday/Thursday I have to wake up at 6:30am. But the ride itself isn’t bad, I’ve been reading Bran Hambric and it passes the time pretty well.

Speaking of Bran Hambric, I finally got it in the mail on my birthday. FINALLY. Been waiting since May for that book. Review to come :)

Oh and did you get that little clue to what I’m going to about next in the last paragraph? MAH BIRFDAYZ. Lol, ok.

So on Tuesday I finally became of legal age to drink in Canada, one of the bigger milestones I would say. It’s funny because instead of going out that night and drinking the night away like any other of age person would, a couple of friends and I went for a single drink during the day because we all wanted to go home and work on our work reports.

Yay for being nerds! And yes, I was carded, and yes it was pretty good to show that I was old.

I finally managed to get some progress done on this stupid prologue for my book. I’ve rewritten it like 5 times (if I haven’t mentioned that before) and now I feel like I finally have something I can 100% use! Well I’m using one of the old prologues, editing it slightly and adding something to the beginning. At this point I just want to get the prologue done so I can finally START.

Also, I want to change this layout so badly. It’s been up since JULY. OMG. Any suggestions?

Elegy of Emptiness

I’ve finished all the work on Elegy of Emptiness! We now have a user panel completely coded by myself! Now those listed can edit their information whenever they want, view their listings without affecting the page views, view their rankings based off the page views AND add screenshots!

Angela and I didn’t want to add screenshots at first since some people edit their layouts once a week, and that would be too much for us to constantly change. BUT NOW you can go and change it whenever you change your layouts :)

I sent out an e-mail to everyone currently listed about their user name and passwords. Anyone listed from now on will get their username and password e-mailed to them after being added.

Oh and did I mention there’s a brand new layout? Done by myself :) It’s a simple layout, more functional than anything. Hope you guys like it!

And if you haven’t joined Elegy of Emptiness GO JOIN NOW!

EDIT: HEARTLESS PLUSHIE HAS BEEN LOCATED. BOW TO IT’S CUTENESS

Site Updates Soon?

I wanted to make this a separate post from the one I have below because although this will be short, it should be noticed.

I recently acquired the domain name consisting of my actual name, first and last :o. So I’m planning on making THAT my portfolio. I only bought onlyakiss.net for a year, so I figured I won’t renew it and just move the blog over to Sky’s Content again.

The question now is, if Sky’s Content isn’t a portfolio, what will I use it for :S? If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I was planning on using it for my own personal projects, but if there’s anything you guys want to see just add a comment.

Also, I’m planning a contest of some sorts. I still need to figure out some details, but there should be news about it soon.

OH and I almost forgot. I made the first version of ONLYAKISS.net a downloadable design. Go check it out here.

NEW STUFF!

So as I was sitting here thinking what to blog about I realized that I recently acquired a shit load of new stuff!

PICTURE TIME!



This is what happens when you leave your phone unguarded while looking for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in your closet.



The new phone along with Gaara gourd key chain <3



T-shirt #1 that I happen to be wearing right now.



My other two shirts.



In all my years of conventions this was my first time seeing a Goku (from Dragonball) plushie. I bought it 10 seconds after I saw it.



The manga in which the characters from THIS layout is from. Meru Puri: Marchen Prince <3. I managed to get the whole series.



The Shikamaru keychain. I so desperately wanted a plushie, but Shikamaru plushies are ALWAYS ugly >=/



The one of the right is SIGNED by Linda Hamilton herself :) I plan to frame these when I move to my new room.



My most recent purchase. Set me back $300. AND THEY WERE USED BOOKS. Blah. Why does school have to take away all my hard earned money :(?

The heartless plushie appears to be MIA. I’ll post a picture of it when I find it. I need to clean my room again, this place is a mess.
