Grab life by the conkers

Thursday, August 28, 2008

I've been quite busy today. I woke up at 9, which is very early for me, due to the fact that the postman was ringing the doorbell repeatedly. I finally managed to drag myself out of bed to accept a parcel from him that was way to big to fit through the door. I bashed it against the banister on the stairs and nearly fell over the stupid thing. I'm not a morning person and going back to college is defiantly going to make things worse.

I can just see it now, being bogged down with work and revision. Oh, joy. The only person that manages to keep me from going completely insane there is Shola. Seriously, if it wasn't for my friend I think I'd become even more of a hermit then I am now. Actually I should withdraw that comment, I don't want people thinking I have no life. Trust me though, college eats all your time up. Or should I say, High school for all you American readers. I'm confused. :s

I've felt a bit of empowerment with Kihugs today. I've deleted all of the dead link affiliates! God knows what happened to the rule that affiliates are supposed to keep in touch. They must think that once you have linked them then that's it, they don't have to mention you or talk to you. Why on earth then should I even be advertising their lazy asses?!

I've decided that now I'm just going to have links on the side that I like visiting (blog roll) and who comment me regulary (Top affiliates). I will also still link swap and advertise with people but I'm sorry to those affiliates who got deleted. Well actually I'm not, you got deleted because basically you were nothing to Kihugs. I get better comments from people who aren't even affiliates!

Thanks to this article about Teen-bopperitis on Ubiquitous I have now seen where I have gone wrong in even wanting to be "affiliated" with sites like these. There are loads of these sites and I can see how annoying they can be for people to have to view. They are basically filled up with page fodder (like random facts *yawn*) and there is nothing worthwhile that I want to take back from a site like that.

Honestly, I don't care what your pets look like, whether they are dead or on holiday. People don't want to kn
ow 20 random facts about you, like the fact that you don't like broccoli.

I also agree that when people do this its just plain annoying:


The whole raping your eyes with underlining, italics and bolding is just aggravating. Saying random words to display interests is something these people love to do. I still can't really understand why.

You should head over to Crystals site and see what I mean about this.

The funny thing is, is that I used to look up to sites like these and want mine to be just like them, I soon changed my mind about that! When you get right down to it, all they offer is the same content. Stolen celebrity images seems to be their favourites. "Omgz I has liek these k0Ol blendz, no stealin!" Seriously?! X_x

Finished reading Twilight

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

Edward Cullen equals love. I can see what all the fuss was about now, that book was brilliant. I already want to start reading New Moon. :D
I literally couldn't put the book down, it was so good and it tricks the reader by making them fall in love with the character Edward. Vampires have never been so smexy! haha.

I got my hair dyed pink again and also finally got my fringe cut shorter. Its better now, it doesn't attack my eye every time I turn around now. I will put a picture up of me when I can be bothered to take one! I have to wait till the day time to take a pic off my web cam because the lighting isn't all that great. ^^"

I got my exam results, I did pretty good actually. I just had a couple of let downs but I will have to resit a couple of units probably to improve them marks. I'm really proud that I got a B in my English Language exams. :D

I bought that Lucky Star pencil case that I wanted off Ebay! It cost me over £6 which was just over 11 dollars on Ebay. Not so bad considering it was from China and it had to be air mailed!
This is a picture of it, click for a bigger version. Please note that the bunny was not included! haha



That pic was taken on my new bed spread as I got my room decorated at last, and I now have a lock on my door. Any teenager will understand how annoying it is when your little brother doesn't understand that you don't appreciate him walking in unannounced when you are trying to get changed!

This is how my room looks:



I really like the colour on the feature wall, its called raspberry diva! When Chris comes to my house now though he practically drowns in the pinkness! I mean come on, its my favourite colour! :D

I'm going back to college soon, I'm enrolling for my second year on the 29th (this Friday). I'm looking forward to seeing my friends but not to the amount of work I'm going to be getting! :)

The Tinsley towers got knocked down this morning at 3am. I used to be able to see them from my window and now they're gone, it's weird. :/

I wanted to stay up and watch the demolition but I ended up falling asleep at 2am! Luckily John filmed it and added music so you can see what happened!



If you want to know about the towers then click here!

I'm really into AlphaBeat and Katy Perry, you should listen to them! haha I'm know I'm being kind of random but thats what mood I am in. :)

I've signed up for a site of the month so be sure to vote for Kihugs when I put the button up!

I'm off now, take care. xxxx

Ps. Love you Chris. ♥

Reading on a hot day

Saturday, August 09, 2008

Not long till I'm getting my hair dyed! Yay. :) I should probably be thinking about more important things such as the matter of my exam results. :o I'm really hoping for good results but I guess I can only hope. This is the worst part after exams in my opinion, the massive waiting period in which your mental strength is tested. Did you do well? Or did you screw up big time!

I've finished reading, "Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging" and "It's okay I'm wearing really big knickers" already! It didn't take me that long, so I'm going to order the next book probably pretty soon. It seems like all I do lately is read, it's too hot to go outside.

Chris is coming round tomorrow and we are going to what Lord of the rings the second film. I've already seen the first one. Chris nearly fell backwards and made this "wtf?" kind of face when I said to him that I'd never seen the Lord Of the rings. Its just one of those films that never really interested me when it came out. However, I have seen it in a different light. I kept giggling all the way through the film and making funny voices over the characters. hehe. I have a low attention span sometimes.
Apparently I make cake-faces a lot to according to Chris. They look like this: :3
It's okay, it just means I'm cute right? O_o

Oh well I'm not that bothered, but I can't seem to stop looking at my mouth now! He's made conscious of my cake face. Cake face ftw!
I've been chatting to Shola today on msn, thank God for msn it really is a saviour. I was getting quite bored and then I got a message from her. I was saved! haha

I forgot to mention that my dad has bribed me. He says, for every A I get in my exam results I get a tenner. So that means I could get maximum of £40! Woo!
He said that B's are worth £5 and C's are worth a measly £1. I then said to him wouldn't it have been better if he had bribed me before the exams, but he just said that the thought of money would have made me loose concentration. Pfft!

I still need to start reading "Twilight" apparently it is really good, but I'll be the judge of that haha. :)

I added a new affiliate today, so check out her site.

That's it for today's ramblings.

Bye xxxx

Konnichiwa

Thursday, August 07, 2008

Hiya, I'm back blogging after a little break from the Internet. I'm still really happy with this layout and I've made a tiny alteration. I've changed it from where it used to say interact to now say visitor.

I'm going to be uploading more visitor content, like reads, quizzes etc. The poll of the month is still there so I want you to vote in it as I need a bit of feedback.

I'm still waiting for one review to come through, so far I have two. They haven't scored me to high but I mustn't let it knock my spirits. Personally I believe Kihugs is doing pretty well.

Today I've been busy adding tutorials, so far the tutorial section is my favourite part of the site. I need to fill up the graphics section a bit more as the free layouts aren't particularly great. I felt like making some avatars today, so I made some anime ones! haha. I'll make some different ones sometime but I think celebrity avatars are kind of boring anyway. :p

Samples



Don't claim that they are your own! Credit must be given to Kihugs. I love them, so cute! hehe

I've also been in the mood for making more glitters but I need to think what sayings I could use. Should I use Myspace ones? Here is an sample of the type of glitters I am working on at the moment.

I have put up quite a few! I think they are pretty cute though. I am avoiding having too many different colour versions as they can get boring. You know where you just use the same graphic but make it 10 times again in different colours? I will use the same phrase but try and make them in different colours/styles/fonts. Click the glitters to get the codes. :)

Also here is a cute Sakura glitter, more anime glitters will come soon!




If you can think of any phrases that I should use and make glitters of then please tell me! I will credit your site on the credits page. :)

I am so going to make some anime glitters as well, I have already collected a few cute images that I am planning to use. I swear, my image folder is fit to burst on my computer. :D




I've been busy watching Card Captor Sakura again! I was wondering what to watch and then I thought I'd just re watch the series. Oh and that reminds me! I have added 2 new anime reviews to the visitors section, I plan to add more but I'm afraid I will only add them when I feel like it. It is quite time consuming writing reviews! haha. I've added a Tokyo Mew Mew and a D.N.Angel review.

I'm really glad that people liked my new layout, feels nice to have a change. My old layout was kind of sucky though I must admit. You can see what it looked like in my past layouts section.

Kawaii awards voting is already underway and so far its quite interesting. You can no longer nominate yourself though as voting has already begun so you will have to wait till next season. Exciting! lol.

I'm getting my hair dyed again soon, planning on getting the pink re-done. I love my pink hair, it matches my website haha. :)

Bye bye! xxx
