Welcome. I'm Christina and this is my nameless website. contact//credits Wednesday, January 17, 2007 Want to hear something scary? I'm getting into LiveJournal. I simply adore making icons. It's a disease. It's so messed up though. Join LiveJournal. Find pretty icons. Make pretty icons. Post pretty icons. Talk about pretty icons. Read tutorials on techniques for pretty icons. Download textures and brushes and fonts for icons. Bitch about someone not crediting properly for an icon. Make some more icons. Erm, where's the substance in that? There isn't any. Any yet it pulls me in. I suppose if I used my LJ as an actual blog and had actual people who actually read it, then there'd be a point. But I can't imagine completely abandoning this place. This nameless, wandering website, neglected and bare but still very much loved. I don't know I suppose I could find some use for it still. I shall think about it. So moving to the Concierge Desk at work has been excellent. I only just had my third shift at it today and I'm already really loving it. So much more variety and creativity in my tasks. Plus I get to sit in a cushy chair. Bwhaha. I adore the class I'm taking. But I am totally neglecting the reading for it. I'm supposed to be through 328 page "1984" for tomorrow. . . I'm on 36. No way in hell is that happening. And sadly I can get away with it. So even though I won't feel any repercussions, I still get to deal with the guilt. Mrr oh well. I wish I had one of those fandoms where there was new material to get all giddy and chatty about. Oh no, I choose the long-cancelled television show that I didn't even know about when it was airing. Oh but it is a strong love I have for Firefly. I discovered a browncoat (firefly fan) in my midst today: my professor. He just went up 37 points on the AWESOME scale. Damn that made me happy. And all in the same day, I planted baby browncoat seeds in the hearts of two of my classmates to which I lent the first three episodes. Can't stop the signal, bitches. Transmitted at @ 11:56 PM Friday, January 12, 2007 Behold another purge of graphic creativity. Nothing complicated but I rather like it. I do not know the origins of the image (if you do please let me know). The poem is "Entirely" by Louis MacNeice. Brushes by moargh.de. Anyone who even remotely follows the trail of this website knows that it's going through some neglected times. For years I was faithful, ardent, inspired. Then life started coming at me from more angles than anticipated and, sadly, graphic and web design has fallen to the wayside. But occasionally, just every so often, it comes swinging back at me and I do something like this. I've been internalizing a lot lately. I've also been reading and writing more than usual. I'm enjoying it. Maybe along with this I'll be inspired to actually blog here like I did almost every day for so many years. Sophomore year of college has been rather fabulous thus far. It's going by so quickly. I'm taking a fantastic class right now entitled, "Utopian Literature". I have only 9 classmates. Like I said, it's fantastic. Work has proven more a source of stress than school lately. For both occupational and social reasons. There is so much drama it's really unmentionable. And I am sorry to admit a lot of it involves me directly. But I really am getting along alright. I've been very thoughtful, so I may seem withdrawn or sad. And I am withdrawn and sad sometimes. Ironically, in some of my most withdrawn and saddest moments, I have felt inexplicable pangs of joy. And I use the word "pang" very deliberately. Well perhaps if I don't purge too much now I will be more likely to write again sooner than six months from now. So I will stop. What a horrid word: stop. Purged at @ 7:00 PM |
