Mind Unleashed

I am finally updating. It has taken awhile but that’s just how things go around here lately. I do this that and the other thing, then I am much too lazy to remember what I wanted to post about. This time, I am posting before I rush off to do anything. Which means there will probably be something I should post about again later tonight that I’ll be too tired to think through.

I want a new layout for my blog! But, alas, I have been rushing around and working and helping sisters and generally being busy that I’ve not even had the time to try yet. Well, I have tried to get something started, but it is not working all that well. I think I’ll probably have time tomorrow to try again, but I am not crossing my fingers. Things keep popping up at completely random points that I have almost developed a fear of doing anything. Luckily, I know what is coming up now, so I am not too worried about doing anything. I could probably try now, but I am slightly more interested in posting then designing. I have only been up about an hour.

Am I the only person who is concerned with the amount of advertising Family is putting into Camp Rock 2? I mean, that movie is not supposed to be out until September and they have it advertising everyday, has been since last month. This seems to be overkill with me. I watch Family for some of the shows, which are actually kind of funny and means I can sit around with my sisters without being dragged into something like One Tree Hill.

For the first time in years, my hair is more my natural colour then anything else. It’s kind of creeping me out. I made the agreement with my mother that I would let my hair grow out if she clipped it every month. If it’s not clipped a bit every month, my hair starts acting out and then it doesn’t grow as fast as it usually does. My mother wants me to have long hair again for awhile. I think I’ll last a week before I go hunting for the electric razor to fix it. My hair is really heavy when it is long.

In gaming news, I finished Avatar: The Last Airbender. It was disappointing how short it is. I am working on the story mode in Sonic Riders, but I keep dying in the last part of Heroes mode. And I don’t mean I actually die or anything, but I am totally not capable of taking any of those turns without going straight off the edge. Bah!

My sister is playing Lara Croft: Legend. She keeps cursing and I keep snickering. At least she is able to handle the continuous change in perspectives. I have Resident Evil 4, but the first disc won’t work, so I have to figure out how to fix that.

Anyway, this has become much longer then anticipated and I need to eat before I head out to brave the big bad world.

Oh by the way, has anyone else been getting ungodly amounts of spam? My blog can get up to 50 spam comments a day right now.

Cheers!

I am updating! Please, hold your applause. Or whatever…

Yeah, I’m in an awesome mood. I have no idea why because this day sort of disappeared on me.

Firstly, I encourage everyone everywhere to actually wear sunscreen. After having sunburn so bad I was confined to the inside of my apartment for two days, I have every right to lecture. This self-imposed house arrest was entirely my fault though. When the temperature is supposed to reach 32 decrees (C), it’s generally a good idea to wear sunscreen, especially when you are already slightly burned. Did I think of this? Of course not, that would be completely logical! So, I was so read I was almost purple. If it had been any worse I would’ve actually needed medical attention. It’s my fault, but how was I to know that something I was told would only take 4 hours would actually take 7?! Meh, oh well, I got paid.

I am totally working now, so my updates will not be as often. I also have a GameCube AND I have Avatar: The Last Airbender video game. So I am killing my free time with that as well.

There is probably more I could talk about, but I don’t wanna. I have to be up at 5am and I need a shower. So those now take priority. Cheerio!

Alrighty, I know people have been waiting. Or at least the few people who actually pay attention have been, lmao. Anyway, this is just a quick update from my mother’s computer before I wander off to do more interesting things.

My tattoo is finished! To save myself a migraine, and because this is not my computer, click here to see the folder with all the photos. The last one is my first tattoo a year later. I eventually have to go get that touched up…

Anyway, I’m outta here.
Cheers!

You know, there is nothing more inspiring then having your website promoted on a blogging friend’s website. Seriously, I feel like squealing whenever I see it. I’m even on the main page! For I decided I should more then likely honour this and I have been a sweetheart and linked them back. But for a shameless plug, checking out V’s Website and be amazed.

I was just reading her blog and realized she was trying to figure out WordPress, which kind of had me snickering. I remember when I first got WordPress and the various hours of cursing and swearing I did to get my layout to look the way I wanted it. I am probably going to e-mail her later and give her a few tips, but for anyone else I am going to explain a few of the very basics I’ve learned.

First, as hard and annoying as the entire thing looks, it is actually the easiest thing you can learn. It’s so entirely simple in fact that I’ve managed to create some basic coding to allow me to update and change my layout with just the CSS only. The only real difficulties that ever come are whether or not you want one or two sidebars, and that is always solved by some extra CSS.

Here’s a break down of the coded pages I have: header, footer, sidebar, index, archive, search, comments, page and style.css. When it comes to the design, I only ever modified the header, footer and CSS. At the beginning I modified a bit of the index for my little signature image, but I never really touched it again. These days I just edit the CSS, which includes even the images.

That had to be the most technical thing I’ve ever posted, and it probably made no sense whatsoever, though I do hope it was helpful. Onto more interesting things!

Actually, as it has been such a short time between postings, there is almost nothing inspiring to post about. I do have an answer for the curious people. My tattoo I am getting can be found here.

Cheers!

Am I the only one sick of the pink? Yeah, I thought not. Worry no longer! It will not last. I finally have an idea I will attempt to put together for a new design later tonight. I don’t know when I will finally upload it, but I do know that tonight, I will finish the actual graphics for said design. I won’t give any hints.

It’s been almost a month since I last updated. I have 5 more days before that statement is wrong, so ha! No, seriously, I haven’t even been doing that much, I just keep forgetting. Which is kind of silly because I check everyday for spam that I delete; on average, I get 10 spam comments a day. It’s extremely amusing to me, because most of them are apparently for forums. It takes so little to amuse me and yet I still manage not to laugh.

There has probably been a bucket load of awesome things in the last few weeks, but honestly, I can’t remember enough of it for me to actually comment about it. Win! I probably will, but honestly, blah. On the 14th I go to get my second tattoo. I am beyond psyched. I know this one is going to hurt more, just because of where I am getting it (inner arm) but at the same time, it will be my most visible tattoo. Unless I am wearing a tank-top, no one sees my other tattoo, which kind of sucks, but I deal.

You know, there are probably many, many things I could be talking about, but I have had a headache for the last three hours and I honestly cannot think of anything more to say. I will probably think up a bunch of things later tonight as I go about doing other things, but that’s not now, and it is annoying.

Oh well, I will try to post again sooner then later, but I make no promises.

Cheers!

My grandmother is not in the hospital! Until Thursday, in which case I will be escorting her to several appointments, which is all good and stuff. She has her PICC line removed on Saturday, which will probably be a relief to her. That’s really all there is to say there.

My days have been rather interesting, in the sense that things happen, I get bored and stop paying attention to it completely. But today, has been awesome. I finally have a price for my newest tattoo idea, which was cheaper then I thought it would be. I also have some pricing for an eyebrow piercing, which I am sort of considering, but I think I’ll talk some more with friends to see if there is another idea.

Best part of today? I spent the last 5 hours hanging out with my friend Melanie. It was bloody awesome. We didn’t even do much, except discover where the nearest bingo place is. That’s kind of hilarious since I am rather certain her boyfriend wants to shoot me for that. We walked around Wellington Street, which is in itself is something amusing, as I have lived here for 4 years and I’ve never down that before. Found some interesting shops as well, that, when I have money again, I may have to revisit. The part that made the day awesome was not the tattoo design, the pricing or even the fact I was hanging out with people. The best part was telling stories and being as sarcastic as ever with people who understand!

I live and I breathe for sarcasm, so HAHA!

I’m good now,
Cheers!

Have you ever gone out, told yourself you were only going to spend a certain amount of money, and end up spending like, twice as much? Seriously, I was in complete disbelief when I finished shopping today. I was only supposed to get a few things, instead I’m already broke. Thankfully, I did pay for a bunch of things for my mother, so I am getting some of that money back. But jeeeez! Talk about not expecting it.

Anyway, I have no posted in awhile, and since no one comments, except spammers, I think I can go, pttthhhht! My grandmother is in the hospital, again. We’re starting to fear ahving tot ake her to the hospital, but this time it is not because of her lungs or her heart. This time it is because she fell and fractured three ribs. So, she’s there on pain meds. It is depressing on one hand, but on the other, it is also hilarious. When she’s actually on the pain meds, it is freakishly like she is stoned. She can’t stop giggling, even with topics that she should probably not be giggling at. It’s awesome!

Other news… Uhm. Actually, I can’t really think of anything. I am still trying to work on a layout for my friend, but that is going horribly slow, so I may have to abandon that idea until such a time I can actually manage to come up with something worth designing. My original idea sort of died, horribly.

I am leaving it here, so.

Cheers!

So apparently there was an earthquake where the severs for Angered Thoughts is hosted. I found out when I finally dragged myself out of bed just before 2 this afternoon. Needless to say, my first reactionw as to see if I was still up and running. Luckily I am, win! So here we go, another post.

I am currently working on adding soemthignnew to the site, though that may take a couple of days. I’ve started sketching again. I won’t call it drawing, because I am certain there are other projects out there that will make my little doodles look rather worthless. I am hoever working on it all, because I want to get better at shading things. I realized when I was working on a design for a new wallpaper, that I keep forgetting where the light is supposed to be eminating from. Not really all that fun.

I will also be working on some new poems, but that will take awhile, cause I need to be in the proper mindset for that to happen. right now, I am sort of just, not there. I am still trying to work on a story I started quite sometime ago, and I am still sort of glaring at it. I have a co-author who is a little preoccupied with her own life at the moment to be contemplating words for something fictional, but hopefully they will be available soon.

I have Twitter! And I finally gave in and linked all those silly little sites. So on the sidebar, you will find a link to my Facebook, my Twitter and my YouTube. The only reason YouTube is Avvelenare instead of AngeredThoughts, is mostly because I forgot that I had set one up long looong ago and all my favourite videos are listed on Avvelenare.

Speaking of videos. It is Tuesday! This means there is only three more days before it is Saturday! I am completely psyched to get the New Moon DVD, but I am also slightly depressed that there isn’t a release party anywhere near me. I sort of need a passport and a car to get to the nearest one. Pfft. Oh well, I’ll have a good day anyway!

My grandmother is now home from the hospital, though I have this feeling she will be back there in a few weeks, maybe. It’s kinda sad, but there isn’t much that can be done about it, since she is old and there is a bucket load of things that are still wiating to go wrong.

Oh well. I am going to stop here, since I am hungry, which after a day of feeling completely unhungry, is sort of amazing. Cheers!

[Edit]: Ok, so I uploaded some scanned pictures, and so save myself a headache fo the moment. I will eventually upload them to the site directly, but, for now, you can find them here!

So, the message board I joined died soon after, so I have decided I am not joining another one, just in case, lol. Once more I cannot be bothered to open Word, so if there are a crap load of typos, tough it up. This is a blog afterall, and it is a personal one at that, which means perfection is seriously over-rated.

I need a bit of help, if anyone has any awesome PSDs of Bonnie Wright, I could make my friend a layout I promised her awhile back. I had an idea, but I cannot find photos I wanted to erase the background from and no one I’ve gone to has had anything worth using. Which is a fail all in its own.

I got a cold, which is just pissing me off to no end. I don’t want ot be sick, I want be to running around doing productive things, like grocery shopping. Instead I am hacking my lungs out and blowing my nose every few minutes. I feel rather pathetic because of this. I also currently look like a female rudolph, considering my nose is so red my sister keeps snickering whenever she sees me.

My grandmother had to have another puncture to drain more liquid from her lungs. They are saying she amy be able to go home on Tuesday, but I am wondering if they should be trying to talk her into having one of her heart valves replaced. If the continous build up is because of her valve, they need to replace it of she’s going to spend more time in the hospital then she will at home. There is a risk because of her age, but I personally believe it is one we’ll have to take. Especially as nothing we’re doing seems to be helping her enough. Oh well, someone somewhere will explain this to me so I understand why everyone seems to be a moron about the entire situation.

I cannot think of anything more, but I will leave you sith something new.

*Hexes*

PS- did anyone else have a fanbitch moment for the Eclipse trailer?!
