Current Layout

After what seems like years and years of hiatus leaving a black layout, I wanted something light and perfectly summer-y, which I think I've achieved with this layout. To be honest, I'm not quite satisfied with the layout, but then again, I've been away from the design world for so long that it's not surprising. The quote I used in the header image is by Diane Ackerman, an author whose books I have never read, but I thought the quote was appropriate because I wanted this layout to revolve around life. The image was taken by me of one of the small scenes in my life and then photoshopped to unrecognizable porportions.

Day 6: Man's Best Friend

Day 6: A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.

Call me cliche, or whatever you like, but the animal I'd love to keep as a pet would be a dog. Yes. Quite unimaginative. But since I've never had a pet the size of a dog, I'd really like one. I heard they make great companions and that's what I want. Unfortunately, I'm not going to get one anytime in the near future since my mom's terrified of dogs, and plus she's not willing to deal with the trouble of having to raise another animal. My brother's enough trouble as it is. *Snickers*

But you know, if I had to choose something exotic for a pet, I think I'd like to raise a tiger. Or a panda. But only if it was actually possible to raise something like that. And have it tamed. But since I am of the opinion that those animals belong in the wild, I think I'd like to keep them there. Now if I were a Parseltongue like Harry Potter (which would be totally cool), I would dig having a pet snake. But since I can't talk to snakes, choosing one for a pet is out of the question. After all, what would I do with a pet snake?

Anyway, on a subject change, last night I got my hopes up to think that I could actually access Facebook on my cellphone. Oh, what a poor, misguided fool I was. Irritatingly enough, China is adept enough to blog complete access to Facebook, as well as YouTube and Twitter. Which means I haven't been on any of those sites since the dawn of time. It's a great cause for all the seething that I've done in the past while. Really, I haven't been in touch with a lot of my old friends, and it's driving me crazy because Facebook would've made it possible. Of course, China has to be the biggest, pain in the ass in history ever and deny me access. Makes me want to throw tomatoes at the government. And of course all those countries that invaded this one in the past. Because it's all their fault that our country is progressing at such a slow, and late rate, that they can't possibly tell that Facebook is virtually harmless, well, as harmless as things on the Internet usually are. But honestly, with all those rude interruptions, how can you expect a country to progress? Look at Japan. They've had a relatively uninterrupted history (as far as I know) and they're quite nicely progressed.

Day 5: In Which I Get Disappointed

I am not responsible for the possible eye-damage this blog post may cause. Please read at your own risk.

Day 5: A photo of yourself two years ago.

This photo was taken roughly two years ago with the two point something megapixel camera on my then-cellphone. The sucker was shaped like a die and was yummy.

Speaking of cellphones, I finally got mine back today. It cost me 520RMB to get it fixed. Ouch. I will never, ever try to install a custom ROM by myself again.

Just a while ago, I saw a picture of Snooki, someone who I've only read about in Wiki in passing. She was being dragged off by a cop and what I assume to be a friend. You can see the pic here. What surprises me is her height. She is so much shorter than I imagined. Either that or the other two people are just really tall. Other than that, I don't really care.

And I just realized that the guy Miley Cyrus had been dating a few years ago, the one that was five years older than her is the same guy who appeared in Taylor Swift's Love Story music video. I was quite disappointed finding out that he had dated Miley (and when she was only in her early teens too!). And he had seemed so attractive in Love Story, but then I found out about his then-choice of girlfriend, and now he doesn't seem so attractive anymore. Aside from that, I am not going to keep talking Miley, because I don't feel like talking negative today.

Another realization I made today is that I really don't like reading about celebrity scandals. It makes me disappointed in too many things. I enjoy reading about the good stuff they do though.

On a completely different note, when will the weather start cooling down? Every year I dream that winter will start sooner and end later, but apparently, my wish keeps going unheard.
