The first day of Real Life.

Woke up at 10 AM without a deadline to roll me out of bed or the sound of the construction workers over at our neighbor's house banging away at their ceiling. It was fucking glorious.

I told myself that I was going to get started on World of Darkness stuff again (I've been doing that on and off ever since I dreamt about the campaign I am running with [livejournal.com profile] hamster_friend), but I ended up doing the following instead:


  • Putting up a new layout. I killed about 2-3 hours trying to figure out how to code templates for this other header I have lying around, but I eventually gave up and fixed this one up instead. I CAN HAS GOKUDERA! ♥
  • Replaced my Persona 3 mood theme with a Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann one. Because my drill must pierce the heavens. I'll prolly go off and upload more mood themes after I finish this entry.
  • Replaced nearly all of my icons. Again. Like I usually do every 3-14 days or so. It's a fairly weird bunch, since I have a shitload of icons and I try to mix and match the icons I really, really want to use ASAP with other icons that I'm okay or lukewarm with. ...I'm weird, I know. Iconage is an art for me, even if I can't make my own. x_X
  • Downloaded an extra browser that makes uploading photos to Photobucket as easy as teh shiz, for great mood-theme-uploading justice.


...Oh yeah, that reminds me! TO THE PHOTOSHOPPING/IMAGING GENIUSES ON MY F-LIST: I still really, really want to use that header I tried coding up a layout for, but it's just too small to be manageable for the sort of look I'd prefer on my LJ. Might I know who'd be willing to help me with expanding it and such? T_T

Having a paid LJ account gives one an excuse to use up one's whole day doing otherwise useless internet things just because you want your desktop to sparkle for you. o_o To be honest, though, I've been meaning to do all of this for a while, but my workload over the semester kept me really busy. Now that it's all over, though, I have the privilege of occupying myself with little things like these.


I do solemnly swear to go back to writing as soon as I finish WoD stuff.

Gokudera needs to be getting some buttsex, yez? Yes!

YEZ! BECAUSE HE LIKES THINGS LOOOOONG.

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if that implies to Hanai and Tajima too. I mean, seeing that they're primarily batters and all. You know. Looong, haaard stuff.

[identity profile] yukitsu.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It applies to the whole of Nishiura. All the baseball people, actually. Maybe only a few would like round things: ball, hat, helmet, Momokan's boobs, Hanai's head... . >_>

BUT WAIT BUT WAIT DOESN'T HANAI LIKE SHORT? BECAUSE TAJIMA IS! ...Height wise, anyway.

[identity profile] yukitsu.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Height doesn't matter. Length does. Especially Tajima's. *ahurhurhur*

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
LENGTH FTW! ...Right up there with Multiple Discharge.

Can reach far and strategically attack from many places?

TOTALLY!

Your layout is so colorful *_* Also, yay for not having any deadlines!

As for the header you want to use, hurr, if you expand the image, wouldn't it look pixelated and such? :O

my icon is directed at myself! *wibbles*

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I was thinking of adding on the image I wanna use... like, extending it to the left/to the right/both ways. Cept, I has no Photoshop and no pretty effects to do so without making it look cheap. x_X

[personal profile] shinn 2008-02-26 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I see :O I could do it for you, if you want? Although I'm a bit busy with school work so it might take a while though xD;;

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeeee but I don't wanna trouble you while you're busy! @_@

School = EVIL, I SAY. ...I can't believe I'm masochistic enough to consider starting my masteral studies after summer's over. =_=

Well, I have exams next week but after that, I'll be free since the remaining school days will just be all about graduation practice, so I could do it then, if you can't find someone who could do it for you. :D

AGH I'm kind of afraid to go to college ;_;

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, sounds like a plan~ I'll post up the header image on another entry if more of my friends poke me about doing teh header. Thanks in advance either way. *feels loved!*

Ara. o_o You are still in high school? :o

Okidoke o/!

Yes :D;; Graduating in a few days though!

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Lulz, that's awesome. I remember feeling sparkly after I graduated. Might be because I didn't really like my school much though. ^^;

I don't know the character, but I am hypnotized by the sparkly of your layout.

Nyahaha! He's from a cracktastic manga/animu called Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn!. I haven't been very faithful with following the series, but it's generally an interesting read in spite of the fact that it's from Shounen Jump. XD

Can I see the image, maybe I can help?♥ Ah, being OC is so relaxing, I completely understand.

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
A-ah, hai! @_@ I shall post it up in my album and give out the link tomorrow or thereabouts. I just got smacked by my professor for some last-minute requirements, so I can't do it right away.

I have a feeling that you and I are OC in the strangest ways, LJ fussing included. XD

[identity profile] kye-kestrel.livejournal.com 2008-02-27 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Gokudera! *_* Your layout is pretty.

Expanding images without pixelating... I believe it's got something to do with vectoring. I dunno how to do that, though, so in the end it's all down to the effects.

[identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com 2008-02-27 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
...Effects that I have no clue how to do. Okay.

I shall post up an official "HALP!" plea soon. ._.

[identity profile] kye-kestrel.livejournal.com 2008-02-27 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
XD You do that. I will snatch the base image for a bit of tinkering if you post it up.
