snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Amon 'Bitch Please' (rocknlobster))
I'm not a very happy camper. Snoopy keeps giving me grief. I take that back, it's not so much Snoopy as my internet. For some reason it wants to be uncooperative. And of course, this happens on a day where I'm in a hurry and have very little time. *siiiigh*

Not only that, but a girl who hasn't been on the ATACT forums for a while returned and was very chatty. Now, sometimes we tend to branch off in comments in regards to various things, but we generally reign ourselves in, particularly after we had a bit of a warning from the mods. This went on for pages! I don't like having to go on and slog through a bunch of unneccesary chat about pointless stuff. *grumble*

On a brighter note, I was able to play around on my PS program and came up with a few things! First, an icon:

I used a sample pic that came with my computer. I was happy I was able to get the 'static' effect on it. It was pretty simple, too. I don't rememeber exactly how I got the slight glowy effect on the text, though. I'll have to look through my book again.

I made sort of a wallpaper too. Again, another sample picture. The text wasn't exactly what I was going for, but I still like the way it turned out.

I also did a text effect. Now, before you ask, no I didn't get inspired by the song I posted yesterday. The image I used was one I found of horses running in the wild. You probably can't tell by looking, though.

I hope to be able to do some more stuff. Maybe find some borders and use them for future icons. But, I think I'm gonna like playing around with it!

Well, I need to finish up and get ready to go run my grandma on some errands and they stop by the bank. *eyes mailbox*

Very pretty and well done images, you have some great PS skill.

Is Snoopy the name of your computer?

Thank you! I'm thinking of maybe tweaking my journal some. I still have a long way to go, though in my 'skills.'

Yes! If Ed can name her computer Tomato, I figured I could name mine Snoopy!!

Thanks! That makes me feel happy! I also changed the layout of my journal somewhat. The color and added a background. I'm pretty happy with it. It looks all fancy!!
