I’m starting to feel old, now. Anyway, you may or may not have noticed that yet another new layout has popped up. It’s darker and plainer than the last green one, but I like it anyway. And yes, I did make that neat apple up there.

I think I finally worked out the way to organize the network section, so I’ll work on that when I get time. I also have a new website Crowned Meadow Designs - yes, thats right. You can now commission me for graphics and the like.

Right, anyway. Love you guys. <3

Things are getting moved around and such, so broken links may abound until I’m done, but hang in there. I seem to do this at least once a year anyway.  The art and stuff has been moved to a coppermine gallery so you can actually comment and stuff, some of the animated things thumbs look weird, but I assure you the normal image works dandy. Ignore the layout. Working on it, among other things.

I was thinking I might make the headers on the main site rotate though.. *ponders*

Oh and theres like, a ton of new avatars. Go! Look!

Unfortunately that means I have to pay the bills xD

I’ve added my twitter to the sidebar so you can better stalk me and the blends page is half done, you can go give it a look if you fancy. For those who are new it’s here. The ones from last year are all up and have thumbnails, but the underline on the links appears to be causing a weird problem, so ignore any random looking black and/or orange lines, please.

I’m currently working on some craft projects I plan on selling. I had made a blog for that on wp.com, but thats apparently a no no so I’ll have something fixed up soon, probably. Things like hand dyed papers/OOAK* corkboards/ Goddess Dolls and such. Is there anything you think I could do that you’d like to see for sale?

On another note, someone apparently brought me paid time on Flickr. Which is weird. And I have no idea who did it.. but.. cool stuff!

Oh and mum brought me The Children of Hurin… I think thats all I have to say. *ponders*

Oh and Lea, happy birthday. Again. Despite I said so a day early.

* OOAK means ‘One Of A Kind’

PS: Okay. Maybe not. Go check out my new forums:

INTRIGUING MEMORIES.

*pimps*

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.

Well uh two updates in one night. Please don’t faint! I thought, before I forget I’d tell you that I’ve added two more journal designs to my Cafepress store, they are the following and you can click on them to go to their pages which will open in new windows, enjoy and feel free to buy. Money helps feed me and keep the domain up.

If this is the first time you’ve been here for a while you might notice two things, one we have a new layout, it’s called the Book of Life and two there is an ad down the bottom of the page. The layout was a long time in coming and is I think my best thus far, I got the idea from Autumn Pixels a few months ago and it kind of stuck, the name, I think I got from Enya.

The ad bar, just below the layout is there in the hopes that this site will eventually come to pay for itself, I can’t offer incentives for people to click them but if you see something that interests you or you just want to help me earm some cash, feel free to click on the ads.

I’ve also opened a Cafepress store for the domain: Crowned Meadow’s Ye Olde Shoppe, there you can find original designs by yours truely. All funds go to keeping me feed and internetted and such, so uhmn. buy something, if you can

I seem to have abandoned LJ somewhat, which is both bad and good, I’ve had more time just to be myself, to sit outside and such. I do love all my lj friends and stuff though and to any of them that see this, I’m sorry I haven’t been around.

I need to talk to my hostees, I haven’t heard anything from them recently, with the exception of Steven and I think that Ellie is still having problems with her ftp though I’m not sure why, so I’ll have to work that out, but it works fine for me which is really odd

I’ve also started work on an Environmental/Metaphysical/Spiritual and Paranormal webzine and if anyone is interested in being staff they should comment here or email me. Oh and I think I can update more often now, so keep watching.

There are 37 Van Helsing icons that I’ve added and there might be more icons later, I’m working on a batch of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron ones, I hope everyone had a good holiday and has a Happy New Year

I’ll try to be around more, sorry about that.

GO CHECK IT OUT.

Also, could someone tell the wind not to blow everything away. its being a phyco. Like… for real XD Ah the joys of Australian weather. And it’s bushfire season once again which means summer has come early >.<
