Night came on, and a full moon rose high over the trees lighting the land till it lay bathed in ghostly day. And the strain of the primitive remained alive and active. Faithfulness and devotion, things born of fire and roof were his, yet he retained his wildness and wiliness. And from the depths of the forest, a call still sounded. — Buffy, Beauty and the Beasts

Do You Ever Get Lonely?

This has to be the simplest theme I’ve ever had on a website of mine. I didn’t make the theme itself, but I did make the header. I’ve been having coding block for layouts. I mean, I could do the graphics forever, but coding gets old fast.

So, tada! Nice, clean site thanks to Ardamis.com.

As to what’s new, well for now I’m uploading the new icons, I’ve got some ideas about how I’m going to fix up the blends sections and such, I want them too look better. I think I’ll install lightbox again since I’ve learnt how to wrangle with it a bit better now.

Also, how about a little life update for those who don’t follow my blogs.

I’ve been doing various things over the last few months, notably a heck of a lot of RPing and research on some things. Marauders Life restarted just the other week and we’ve been at it. I love ML, though admittedly this is the third time we’ve restarted, and Sammy and I kind of managed to get Bellatrix and Rodolphus kicked out of Hogwarts within an all time record of three school days approximately. So much for going slow.

Those I get the distinct feeling some of the chaos was induced by the fact Sammy and I were finally talking on microphones and were plotting - therefore Krista and Jamie had no idea what so ever we were up to until it happened. It just so happened we blew up a few students and castle parts. Namely the great hall.

But a lot has been going on over there, it’s quite fun, actually.

I’ve also been keeping track of the dreaded Strikethrough 07. That wasn’t the most pleasant situation I’ve ever been unfortunate enough to watch, especially with company representatives openly mocking it’s user base. As a person who enjoyed livejournal enough to pay for an account since two months after I joined, I was utterly appalled, though I admit not too shocked as this was some time in from the beginning of the pissing contest. It is needless to say that I have moved, and may possibly just blog here, if I find any other sites lacking. Though I am quite enjoying greatest journal (which I was already a member of for ages anyways) and insane journal, though neither is exactly what I loved about LJ, and that makes me lonesome some, but you can’t win them all.

In other news my mother need to grow up. And she knows where this is, so:

MUM IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS UTTERLY IMMATURE TO REFUSE TO GO TO CHRISTMAS DINNER MERELY BECAUSE YOU DO NOT LIKE YOUR UNCLES WIFE. JONE IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO BE THE ONLY PERSON THERE AND FRANKLY I’M A WITCH, I DON’T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS ANYMORE PERSONALLY, AND I’M GOING WITHOUT COMPLAINING. PLEASE JUST GROW UP.

That said she’ll probably only notice this next July. =))

Uh yeah, it’s late. I need to go. I’ll finish with some more stuff soon, I promise. And also? Sometimes I upload without adding it here. it’s bad of me and I’m sorry.

P.S. Theres like 60 new Harry Potter Icons or so.

I’ll wear a smile through the darkened night.

Say NO to discoHello folks, well it’s that time of the century again and *gasp* I actually have something for you to look at instead of making you stare off into space ^^; Though first I’ll tell you what’s been going on, despite the fact you may not give a damn.

Well, the school holidays have come and gone again, and its getting deathly cold, because its you know, winter, despite popular belief it actually gets incredibly cold in Australia in the winter.
I haven’t been doing much, I know and I appolguise, I’ve been busy and thus a lot of stuff
remains incomplete.

I’ve been doing a fair but of writing, and will probably get around to fixing the writing section up soon. Most of it is fanfiction of the Harry Potter kind, which is my favorite kind, infact, LotR fanfiction is hard to write, because… well my fellow LotR fans are scarier then my fellow HP fan ^^.

I’m currently planning to write a chapter story on Bellatrix Black-Lestrange’s life, it’s called “Roses in December.” It’ll be from birthto death and have different ratings per chapter, I suppose. Links to everything will go in the writing section and on here when it goes up.

Also, you might wanna grab a look under icons, there should be new ones.

I wont be doing much on here this week, my friend Kate died
and her funeral is on friday. :O  :’(

We have a new hostee, my friend Bree and her site Black Poppit,
which I’m helping her get into the swing of things.

Recent love from: Aly Ivana
