...I finally changed my layout! :D I'm so glad that that old dull grey monstrosity is gone. This new layout's header was not made by me, however. I don't have excessive time this semester for graphics like last semester. :( The people in the header are from BBC's Robin Hood, characters of Will Scarlett and Djaq. If it had Allan I'd be tempted to never get rid of it. :P

So, while I'm here and all, I should probably do a bit of an update of my life this past month.

University: This semester is looking as though it will be time consuming. Not challenging (unless you count how far I can stretch my procrastination), but full of reading material.

Social: I've been realizing who are the ones that I'm missing. Problem with this is me feeling awkward about doing anything about it. Also, I want to try to improve certain aspects of my personality and general moods. At this time I am not that confident about this project.

Personal: Restlessness has set in a bit. I need to get out and move. Walk, run, dance, slid - I just don't want to do that around most people that much. Ran a block this weekend, first time in ages without a bus to catch, and I forgot it can be enjoyable.

Internet: Ohmygosh! I just won first and second place in two different icontests! ^_^ Its been about a year, including the breaks, since I started making graphics and I'm proud to say I have actually improved. (Not that I don't still produce crap, 'cause I do.) I'll post banners to [info]esdlsd when they are made with the icons.

EDIT: Its been over four years since I first started this journal. I feel so old and so much better than my past self. Even if I still have so far to go.

Instead of posting another piece of writing here I've decided to return to the irregularly scheduled posting about nothing in particular. This post has decided to begin by typing about its comrades.

Cut to shorten your FP a little. See how considerate I can be? Through here are some vague things that have come to my attention lately. You don't have to read it, the last two paragraphs are more important to my creative side anyways. )

From now on (until further notice) I will not be posting my writing here. Its moving to a separate home here at blogspot. Its not entirely set up though, but I'm going to try to post something there every week. My stuff is under the name "rhinoland" as per usual. Read, enjoy, tell your friends! *nervous laugh*

I have issued myself an icon challenge which goes as follows: "For each episode of Heroes aired featuring Sylar and/or Maya you must make at least 14 icons by the time their next episode airs (unless its finals or something, then you get an extension)". Last week I made 16 in pretty much one morning before school. This week I've made seven so far and I've been working on and off on them over the last two and a half days. I keep fiddling with them, but I think this might turn into my best icon set yet. *iz proud* Hopefully I can get at least another seven done so I can post them tomorrow.
