This is the post that stays on top for ever and all eternity because I said so. Coding for this journal is done by me unless I say otherwise. All credits for icons, graphics or wordly venom can be found through the pot of gold, at my website. Any other information about me or this journal should be in my user info, take a look and email if it's not.
Please comment if you use my icons or anything else that I may have to offer, and give the credits stated upon the entry.
I would love it if you would friend me, but please do not do so without actually intending to get to know me, or just to further your friend count. I bite occasionally, but generally I'm pretty harmless. Please comment if you do add me, so I know to add you back.

(The pot of gold)

This is basically here to tell all of the people that I know or met here through live journal that I am the worst person to rely on for frequent friend comments. Live journal is a secondary form of communication for me seeing as I have met everyone I know through art portfolios or art forums and so I barely ever come to live journal unless I am reminded that I own one.

If I do not comment it is not because I do not care, it is because I am forgetful and because two thirds of lj jargon doesn't make sense to me. Like this friend thing; I really don't understand it. Also, tags, I don't get what they are for. But, that is beside the point. I just want to make sure that all of my friends, whether I know you from here or somewhere else, that you know I am not ignoring you or abandoning you. I love the people I have met on the internet and I have terrible ways of expressing that, I know. I'm so bad, but I do care so much for all of you and I want you all to know that. It is important to me that you know that.

And also, when I do come here, which is generally everyday, even though I don't comment, I do read your entries. Usually I just don't know what to say. It's a bad habit of mine to put off talking to people when I have nothing to say, even though I am beginning to realize that live journal is indeed a place to share mindless conversations between people, unlike tag boards and guest books. I apologize sincerely for my faults, and I will work on them.

I just want you all to know that I do really cherish our friendships, and you know who you are. Whether we met briefly at a forum or exchanged tag board comments, we have made some sort of relationship and I value all of them. I'm sorry if I do not make this clear enough on a regular basis.

This is where the party is

More icons. I was browsing the internet procrastinating as usual and I found two of the most talented people I have ever seen, so I was inspired to make icons. Of course only one out of eleven actually turned out how I wanted it, but oh well. All Josh this time, which makes me happy. It's always fun to stare at pictures of attractive men while making things... sigh.

I want to make a new layout, a wider one. I hate how narrow this one is, it really needs to be wider. I'll work on something hopefully, or just screw the idea of a header and make one that is imageless. I like the navigation though. That was really the highlight of making my own coding. It took FOREVER to do it. And it came down to being screwed up for something as small as an extra letter in the links. Can you believe that. By the end of making it I was ready to strangle someone. I was so pissed I picked up my mouse and slammed it down. Then I figured "well jesus, if I can't have it how I want it then I'll at least change the links." So I changed the link to my website (that was all I knew how to do at the time) and refreshed the page and it worked. Talk about a waste of perfectly good built up anger.

Anyways, I'm going to go and reread my essay that I spent the last three days reading, and hopefully submit it if it's any good. I always need to take a step away from my writing before I can find the flaws... it's really annoying.

May 8th Edit: Happy Birthday to miss_tesco. (Laylaface)

My obsession has exploded. I'm contemplating ordering fangirl crap off of the internet. Taking Back Sunday has consumed me. I love the music. I think the biggest thing drawing me to them is their lack of emo presence. I hate how casual it is becoming for new bands to work their way into the mainstream via black eyeliner and songs of suicide. It's tragic, really. Perhaps it goes way back to the days where rebellion became the "it" thing to do. Taking Back Sunday, thus far has shown no signs of this rare commonality. They are just a lie-low band. Unless of course I'm getting ahead of myself and I'm of this opinion because I have no sources into the "new" music. Maybe they are a pass tense of popularity, which gives me the impression that they never were. Whatever the case, I love them. Even if they are the "oh so sad" type, I'll still listen to them regardless. I'll tolerated because they are just so damn good. Seriously, Rock two thousand and six, watch out.

Josh Groban really needs to hurry up on his new album. I've had so many people tell me that they "haven't heard of him" and it kills me a little. He is the definition of perfection in a male vocalist, possibly even the entire gender. I wish he would put out some new photos too. I've been using the same ones for three bloody years. I'm running out of things to do with them. Oh well, I still love him. For the record, (not that anyone cares) Taking Back Sunday has not overthrown Josh Groban. He is still my one true love, ermm, and he'll realize that he loves me too... you just wait. Uhuh.

Anyways, I'll get to the point of this entry. I have made twelve new icons. Twelve horrid new icons. Pink is taking over me. I hate the color on a norm, but it looks so cool on black and white pictures. It's a must-use.

OH MY DEAR JESUS. Why must livejournal be so freaking complicated? I HATE these freaking restrictions. I would pay for a goddamn paid account if didn't HATE LIVEJOURNAL so much. All I want to do is change the bloody text of the navigation links, but NOOOO. Every bloody tutorial takes you to the same useless page. It's like What layout are you using? Flexible Squares. What do you want to do with it? Change the navigation links. What layout are you using? FLEXIBLE FREAKING SQUARES! What do you want to do with it? OH MY DEAR SWEET LORD.

Yes, livejournal is great if you're not used to the freedom of html, which I AM, so every friggin thing that it doesn't want me to do makes me want to assassinate the person behind this nonsense. I am so angry. And I'm hungry. It's midnight and I still haven't eaten dinner. I'm going to go do that before the combination of hunger and anger devise a plan to take over the world. ARGGGGG.

New layout credits go to 44 Suburbia, 37 Pence, and Tre Texture.

Music takes the cake

2006-05-06T06:09:51Z

In the last week I have been listening to so many new artists. It seems as if everything I listen to, I love. It's odd really, and considerably time consuming. When I listen to music I can't just listen to each song once; I like to know what all the words are and generally the theme of the song. Try doing that for like 15 new artists, multiplied by an average of two albums each. Haha, and then try to focus on Canadian history. A very tricky task which I have yet to complete sucessfully.

My Uncle and his friends are really clever people, you see. In 2004, my Uncle's truck was broken into and he lost over 500 CDs. Since then, his friends devised this genius plan to upload every CD they own, and gather the CD's of others, onto a portable harddrive. They each have one, and these harddrives have well over 1500 artists, and multiple albums for each. It's crazy. And then, my nutty Uncle downloads like two full albums a day; it's a disease. Seriously, lots of music. I'm going to upload some of my favorite songs soon, just because I want to share some of these bands with the world. For instance, my flavor of the moment is Taking Back Sunday. They have an amazing sound, best described as a mixture of Alexisonfire and Fall Out Boy. I know, two bands that are completely different and extremely talented, but Taking Back Sunday really pulls if off. If it wasn't so late I would upload them now but I'm rushing this entry so I can go to bed before 3:00.

Gah, I feel like I'm not making any sense. Online journals feel so impersonal. I feel like I am talking to myself but there are going to be people reading this. That's an uncomfortable thought. I'm still not sure if I like livejournal as much as I should. I've been trying to code my own layout for the last 24 hours and it's impossible. I can't preview anything unless I take the coding of the journal and upload it to my website. I hate doing that though, because it doesn't totally work. Each page for some odd reason has different qualifications. Like for instance, my navigation on the recent entries page works perfectly, but when I try to view it on an uploaded copy of the friends page, it looks totally funky. There are so many restrictions on livejournal. I don't like not being free to position something how I want. It's rather annoying. I have this idea of a layout in my head and I'm unable to work with it because livejournal doesn't want to. Stupid.

Maybe I'll close it an just use my website. It's so annoying when people are friends only though, because not everyone has a website and I like to know whats going on with my friends. LIVEJOURNAL BE MORE USER FRIENDLY. HMPH.

Okay, ten new icons and then I have to go.

Procrastination is a beast

2006-04-23T03:08:07Z

I'm so horrible. I was supposed to get a bunch of school work done today but I haven't touched any of it. I've spent the entire day trying to get whenitcomes back up, and in between doing that and resting my eyes, I sat on the couch and watched my Uncle play Halo. I could have been more productive and taken my school work onto the couch with me, but no; I procrastinated until it was too late. It's not too late yet... but there's a few more things on my list of "totally unimportant things to do" that I'm probably going to get done. See, it's a beast!

I did manage to finish up the thing that will probably ruin any chance of me getting my life together though, so that's a good thing... I think.

I have four more icons to add too, none of which are very good but still, they pass the time away.

Josh Groban:

Okay, that's all for now. Thank you everyone for the comments and the friendymcthingers!

And It's Launched

Firstly, I want to get down on my knees and thank the almighty and glorious Nocturne (aery) for all the help she has both directly and indirectly given me. I cannot begin to tell how much I disliked livejournal before she turned the jargon into plain english and filled me with information that I would have never known without her. Thank you, Noc, in the most expressive and sincere way.

Some may have noticed that I took whenitcomes down for a little while, just until I can get my crap together and a new layout up. It won't be long because that website provides me with an oxygen above oxygen, and neglecting it really bothers me. I promise I'll get it back up soon, but until then, I'll use this journal for whatever communication that I require. I don't know how to do that "friends only" thing, and I doubt with great certainty that I'll ever want to even when I do learn, so don't worry if you don't have a live journal.

Now, let's see if I can do this M^cicon thinger. I made ten new ones. That's a whopper for me, Ms. Josh Groban Icons Only, until now. That's right; I have expanded my geekdom onto Josh Groban's girlfriend, January Jones.
