Just got finished helping my little brother correct his homework. I actually messed up at one point and thought his answer was incorrect when it was mine that was wrong. x3 (oopsies~) Recently, I made the Chris icon used for this post to be used in muse_icalbox. I'm roleplaying him, so I thought I should make an icon of him. Originally, his name was printed vertically over the sparkles and there was no border-thing. However, my sisters thought I should ditch the name, to make it usable regularly. Thus, I got rid of the name. Then I was playing with the weird stamp cut-out tool, and found the border. Thus, I decided to apply it under the sparkles layer.
Trimming off Chris's background was a little troublesome, but significantly easier than some other backgrounds I've removed. I kind of wanted to make the background orange, but for some reason didn't. The icon may have looked better if I made the background something other than blue. Perhaps that was a silly decision. There's one thing that bothers me about the image though: Chris is wearing a light pink shirt! >.< So girly....
I just remembered something I was going to make a journal post about back in December/November. During one of those two months, my sisters and I went to a church party for "The Dream Team". Basically, it's the group of people that sets up stuff for the church in the mornings, takes it down after the service, goes out and does things for the community, etc. At the Christmas party, there was kareoke. My sisters and I sang "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks. Apparently it sounded pretty good. :3
What I wanted to talk about, though, was the first song sang. Two guys from Shift, the church's band, came up on stage. Thus started their rendition of Love Story [real song by Taylor Swift]. It was so funny because they kept staring silently at the screen at parts, and the audience filled in for them. "See the party, the ballgowns" became "See the party, the ballgames". That amused everyone.
Generally, the party was very fun. It was filled with nice people, and everyone enjoyed themselves bunches. There were little mini christmas presents, [probably one cubic inch in volume] that were made just to put numbers for the drawing on the bottom. We took some home and made ornaments out of them, because they were so cute.
