Yup, this post is just to basically prove that I'm still around, that I'm going to try to be active and you know - actually use my own journal and all. ^^; I know you've heard that one before, but it's never too late to try, right ( Read more... )

*huggles* Yup! And hopefully it'll actually last, this time round. ;D

Thanks~! Misty-Fan-Forever is probably one of my favourite graphic makers on Serebii. ^^ I think that's possibly one of the only reasons I go there. >.> The website might be awesome, but the forum is chock full of elitists. Seriously.

Ya, Tayles is really talented at graphics. And I really owe her for volunteering like that, especially since the site might not even go ahead now.
And yes, make icons you muuust~ I have a folder of all your icons on my compy. <3 And there's always room for more. :3 I could really use some more icon space though. 15 just ain't enough. v.v

Aaaand your wish is my command ~


I hope that's okay. I'm rather new at this. ^_^;;

Tee, I hope so. x3

Ugh, elitists. >.< I hate them...unfortunately no matter what type of forum you're on, some of them are sue to show up.

Aw, I was looking forward to it. Oh well, there's loads of projects I was never able to finish, so don't feel bad. *pats* But if it ever does, I'm still totally willing to provide fics/art/icons/etc. xD

COLOURBAR FTW!! <33 Could you point me in the direction of the embed code so that I can put it in my user info?

random:
She reminds me a lot of Rogue who was always my favourite from the old X-Men cartoon.
YOU WATCHED X-MEN EVOLUTION?? I used to love that show! xD Rogue was one of my favourite characters after she joined the good side. Though I think Kurt was my favourite character. Fuzzy~

Me too. xD

Yep, too true. It’s hard to find places where you can get away from those types. They see the net as a place where they’re semi-anonymous, and somehow translate that to mean that they can say or do whatever they please, regardless of people’s feelings, because they know they can get away with it. And the worst part is, people RESPECT those who act like this. I don’t understand it one bit.
I barely dare to actually post in Serebii’s anime section, because not a single thread manages to escape “elitist free”. It’s impossible to have a conversation with anyone, when pretty much every post you make will get a reply from a stuck up jerk just LOOKING for something to get on your case about. And they’ve never actually heard of OPINIONS. If you even mention Yu-gi-oh/Sonic/Pokemon/Shaman King or anything similar in a good light, you’re a dead man. I wish they’d remove whatever stick it is, that they’ve got stuck up their backsides, I really do.
Sorry for the mini-rant there. ^^;

Ya, I’m sorry about that. ;; I’ve wanted to have a website myself, for the longest time. My own special place on the web, dedicated to my interests, so I could actually claim to have achieved something. Unfortunately to have one, you’ve really got to be good at graphics and HTML. Of which I can’t do either very well. But thanks a lot for your support, and for volunteering your works. It means a lot. And if I ever do figure out photoshop/net language and change my mind, I’ll be sure to let you know. :)

Thanks, glad you liked. ^^ Now, lets see if I can get this to work…

Yup, I sure did. ^^ It was one of my favourite after school shows to watch. Although, when I compared Bunnie to Rogue in the survey, I was actually referring to her older cartoon counterpart (Here ~ Sorry I don't have a better pic). Personality-wise, Bunnie and this version of Rogue are very alike. I sometimes see bits of their characters in Mai from YGO. I tend to like those kind of female characters the best. :)
However, X-Men Evolution was also awesome and I’m in complete agreement, Kurt was by far my favourite character from that show. Who couldn’t love the 'fuzzy elf'? ;D (I often tend to love the more spunky loveable types) I was also fond of both Rogue and Kitty though.. :3

Oh god...yeah I'm familiar with the people with large sticks up their asses who feel the need to slam any and all fans of such shows as kiddies and n00bs and stupid people that could nevarrrr appreciate "real" anime. -__- That is why I never join anime communities to post. I just do so I can snag any downloads. xD But even on Yugioh communities there's elitism! Who has the best deck, if you use ___ cards you're an idiot, if you like ___shipping you're stupid... It's ridiculous.

Hmn...I know a little bit about HTML, and I like to think I'm good with graphics, I could try to help maybe? Plus since I'm taking computer IT I have access to books that might help. xD Are you trying to build it from scratch or are you going with a builder like Freewebs?

Hurray, now I have a new pretty colourbar in my info! ^__^ Thank you!

Ooh, got'cha. I always loved Mai...I like those types the best as well. Strong female characters make me happy. And conflicted characters of any gender are always great. x3
I liked Kitty too! (And not just because her name was Kitty...thought that might have been a factor...*glance* xD)

Yeah! That's exactly the type I'm talking about. The "You don't know what REAL anime is" type. -_-;; Yeah well, they can stuff their overrated Evangelion and the like. Mecha anime for one thing, is really not my type.
I'm sure there are some decent ones out there, and decent fans as well, but just because I and others in the same boat don't like something that the majority consider godly, doesn't mean we have no taste.
And yup, even among the YGO fandom (and the Pokemon one actually - where mentioning that you like Pikachu is a criminal offence, because y'know it's COOL to hate the "damn electric rat" >.> Pfft, I happen to love Pikachu.) you'll find tons of elitists. And yes! If you support shippings - other than main guy and main girl - you're considered nothing but a brainless fangirl. There's no escaping elistism it seems. ._.
I should probably stop ranting now...eheh. ^^;

Aww, thanks a lot for the offer. ^^ I was planning on trying to build a website from scratch, and I know a bit of HTML, but not enough it seems.
I'm also really self-conscious about posting my opinions on the web. Partly the reason why I don't write fanfiction. I'd love a website, but at the same time, the idea makes me nervous. I'm really torn.
At the present I'm trying to clean out my comp completely and do a few resets so that I can get AMV making capabilities back, since I haven't been able to use WMM for over a year *withdrawal* and it seems our comp is slowly winding down. I want to make sure everything's safely backed up. But, once I've got everything sorted, I'll retry web building. And I'll be sure to let you know if plans for the Puzzleshippy website are back on. Absolutely anything you could offer would be awesome. Thanks! I really appreciate it. ^_^

No problem. ^^ I'm just glad you liked it.

Ooh yes, strong female characters who are also conflicted are love. <3
Especially if they also have a really soft side to them as well.
Hence the reason why I love characters like Mai and Bunnie so much.
Speaking of Bunnie, here are a few fanarts based on her comic version:

Hehe, yes Kitty was awesome. Name and all. :P For some reason I found I couldn't get very attached to the characters like Scott and Jean though. Not sure why.
