.:reflections of twilight:.

Well, here I am, using my new LJ client. Never used one before. Seems pretty easy. I may download one on my desktop, but I haven't used it for a whole week. Poor Snoopy, all neglected...

Sorry about the lack of posting yesterday. I had one all written out, but my Internet decided to go all wonky and crap all over me and I lost my post. Since it was pretty detailed, I didn't feel like reposting everything all over again (which is one of the reasons I broke down and actually got a client). So I'm fine, in case anyone was worried!

Anyway, to recap what I tried to post yesterday, work itself went pretty well. In fact, this whole week went well. Now, if the previous week had been as smooth as this one was, maybe I'd still be staying put. But, I must do my penance... I will be coming in at least once a week to help them out, so t least I'll still get to see everyone, which will be nice. It'll feel a little strange to see another girl in "my" spot, but I'll endure.

This girl the other day on the hellsing community... I feel only somewhat sorry for her, but she did kind of bing it on herself. She posts an introduction, saying how much of a fan she was, but she posted it all in 'netspeak. *headdesk* Well, the response was huge, mostly in derision and mocking. I mean, she really had no excuse for her doing it, despite her claims of being only 13. I mean, I never spoke like that when I was thirteen and neither did any of my friends. Why not take the time to write out a thoughtful, well worded post instead of becoming the butt of jokes and letting people assume you're completely ignorant. If that happened on my forum, I wouldn't tolerate it. I mean, I've had to put my foot down a few times in response to some of the fangirls we have. Plus, she did this on the hellsing comm, and they're merciless on there...

Speaking of which, elantis is having her own foibles with another forum member. She agreed to write a story involving the character this one girl "adopted" (which so happens to be Sanzo. Yeah, let's not go there). Turns out, she wanted to post the story and pass it off as her own! I'm sorry, that's just not done. I mean, yeah, sometimes we tag team and write stories with other original characters and the ones that have been "adopted" already, but blatant plagerism is wrong. If she had done it, I'd have had her banned. That's something that I won't tolerate.

If you noticed, I changed my layout again. I know I kept saying I wouldn't, but I thought, "What the hell." Besides, I'm disliking what's happening with Jacen's character. I'm keeping Darth Sexy as my default icon still.

Tomorrow I have to go into work for a couple of hours. I can still sleep in some, just not until 10:00 like I have been doing...

Word of the day: boisterous
adj: noisy and unruly

Well, I changed the background image. I got this one from the same site as my other one. I picked this one because there's more activity. I know it looks kinda purpleish but I don't think I'm gonna change the color scheme of my layout even though there is a purple on in this style. I have a new default icon as well. It's not too bad, but then again I'm still a basic newbie at this whole thing. It's the image from the background pic, but I added text and some sparkle brushes to it to enhance it some. The text is, "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" which had been on my free text box on my other style, but since I don't have that option with this one, I worked around it you could say.

I can't use the air conditioning on my car right now. It's been acting up and I need to get it looked at as well as having my fluids checked. I also need air in my tires. I can't do anything about it until I pay my bills (which I plan on doing later today). Hopefully I'll have enough left over so I can get my car looked at and possibly buy the 'Samurai Champloo' DVD's. If not, then my car takes priority.

A little quizzy thing I got from my e-mail but modified for here.

( Quizzy quiz (of a sort) )


I made a little thingy (again):



I made it here.

It's actually kinda cute!

Well, I have laundry to finish. Ciao!
