07/08/2003 Entry: "Blog layout"

Mood |

Well, hey :P It's my new blog layout. What do you people think? I'm not really that color-coordinated or HTML talented (Joan did the actual work for this), but here goes anyway ^^; Stacy said it hurt her eyes when it scrolled a lot, oops. If it's that bad, don't scroll fast :P

This looks crap in 800x600 btw. -.-

For my sisters: I hope my sisters are doing good in - where, GERMANY? - and I wanted to tell Joan that I've been checking your e-mail, and you've only gotten flight check e-mails saying that your flight is on schedule. Plus, no one has submitted themselves to the PTutu fanlisting yet... oh, and QS joined the ML. People are posting fanfics! Dun dun dun (not that many, only like, two). I've also blocked various porn-spammers and also have updated Ribon. ^^; Our translator is not done yet. I hope you guys are having fun! Wow, Europe ^^

On other news... okay, the winter formal thing is DEAD. I'm not giving anyone a photo if you're all gonna whine about it like that.. like a dog with a chewbone, for pity's sake. -.- Stacy lost hers, btw, so unless you want a scan... hmmmm, you're on your own.

About the layout :) Isn't Alexiel gorgeous? I have the full-color scan on my computer, and it's SO much prettier.. you can see all the detail of the artwork. Broke my heart to crop and resize. In Angel Sanctuary, she is one of the most blessed - and hidden - of angels, but she rebels against God and basically goes on this very long, bloody quest (meaning she killed everyone in sight) in order to save herself and what she desired (saving her brother Rociel). The rebellion started when a very deranged angel broke her out of her imprisonment, whereupon she very nearly destroyed all of heaven. (The very deranged angel was her lover, Lucifer - yes, that Lucifer.) Eventually, she was caught, and this other angel that was in love with her (unrequited) got a little.. jealous ("If she won't be with me, then...") and sentenced her to be reincarnated over and over again, living each time a life of pain, destruction, and murder before dying brutally at a young age. (Once, she was burned at the stake, another time, she was cut into little pieces by a serial murderer... etc.) Lucifer was, prior to this, imprisoned in the sword Nanatsusaya, lost his memories, then was controlled by Alexiel as her primary weapon (there's lots of scenes with them killing everything). After her sentence, he tried to track down her, lifetime after lifetime... even if he didn't know why. ;_; (And then he usually got to watch her die. Ouch.)

I love this couple (that's Lucifer holding her to the right) because they're both incredibly insane, but they really do love each other ^^ in their own twisted sense. As she said once, he is the only one who defied God for her ^^ it was soooo romantic! (And then he killed her. But that was how he was defying God for her!) I was so happy when they finally were together again (that'd be the scenes on the right and left). I love this couple... they're so much better than stupid Setsuna and his stupider sister Sara. Ignoring the fact that they're brother and sister, they're both just SO ANNOYING, the latter especially. Did she ever stop being so perfect? NO. "I love you, older brother!" [twenty volumes later] "I STILL LOVE YOU!" Ahh, shut the F up.

I borrowed X-Men from Tanya, so I think I'll go watch it now ^^ I have hot cheetos to go with it. And tapatio and tabasco sauce. Really lethal combination, so I don't recommend it unless you really like hot stuff. ^.^ Comment on my new entry! Tell me if you think the color combo of black and white is too harsh on thy eyes.

Btw, last thing: in Hanazakari no Kimitachie [For You In Full Blossom], miracles happened in the last chapter, and Sano told Mizuki that he loved her... AND SHE ACTUALLY REALIZED HE DIDN'T MEAN "LIKE FRIENDS" like she did the prior four times, the stupid freaking airhead. And in the next chapter, SHE TOLD HIM THAT SHE LOVED HIM TOO. Miracles. I thought it would take another twenty volumes. AND THEY ACTUALLY KISSED. WITH BOTH OF THEM CONSCIOUS, AWAKE, AND AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON. NO MORE UNCONSCIOUS ONE SIDED GROPING.

Never mind that she doesn't know that he knows that she's a girl and not a guy. Never mind that she now thinks Sano is gay. Never mind that Sano hasn't exactly told her that he knows she's a girl for the TWO YEARS THEY'VE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER. Never mind that Mizuki is GUTLESS, DENSE, IGNORANTLY CRUEL, AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL TO ALL LIVING CREATURES. -.-

[hates mizuki]

Well, good for Sano. He only had to shake her and shove her against a wall and yell it in her face for her to get it.

Spoken words: 9 have fallen.

In related news, Bobbert has arrived in Germany today, too.

And the layout looks awsome when you scroll up and down really fast. I can do this for hours.

Surprise my butt. I always have the profile in the middle, centered, with a divider :P I just can't think of anything else! The side-scrolling columns were the best I could do. :P

shut up augusto! the layout is great Janice(very pretty!)

Posted by lorik @ 07/08/2003 04:26 PM PST

A couple things:
1) Shut up Augusto, the layout is great.
2)Beyond the sluggishness of Dreamworks, I actually LIKED Sinbad.
3) And, hello? I move twenty minutes away and suddenly I don't exist? Call me you stupid people!

Posted by Sarah @ 07/08/2003 06:27 PM PST

"no. no you can't andrew."

Sounds like a wager to me.

Posted by andrew @ 07/08/2003 09:15 PM PST

I totally agree with you Sarah. When I moved to Burroughs....it was like I didn't existed. No one bother to invite to things anymore. People still don't invite me to stuff. But yea....I would need your # in order to call you.

....i didn't say the layout SUCKED. i said the layout was EXCELLENT! I just wanted to see what else Janice could do ^_^. I'm not trying to say I'm Better or anything like that but you know... Oh Fine then forget i should just NEVER COME HERE AGAIN SINCE I'M NOT WELCOMED HERE AT ALL. BYE!

Make flame love, not flame war. (If you know what I mean)

Alright that just didn't make any sense, nevermind.

Hell, I moved a half an hour away and Chris is complaining that I'M not inviting anyone to do stuff.
