Whoa, this is my 3rd post today...

Seriously. This is the most I've ever posted in one day... Oh, well.
I like the song Pressure, by Paramore. I think that one fits Beast Boy and Raven, too, or at least some parts do. Anyway, remember how my Inspiation Tank was running on empty earlier? Well, it got filled up a little again. This banner took me maybe five minutes to make, but I rather like it. I saw a siggie on Ww with this really nice aged effect, and I thought I'd give it a shot. I think I did all right. ^^

Better Off Without Me

The avatar that goes with it is pretty simple, but I kinda like it, too. The three boxes in the bottom right corner are actually transparent, so if you to Infinte Originality to look at it they will be blue.



Yeah. The Inspiration Tank (I'm just gonna call it the IT from now on, 'kay?) is once again running on vapors...

Fences

I just got Paramore's Riot! album yesterday (way, way, way late, I know), and I have since listened to the song Fences like, eight times. Seriously, that song is freaking amazing. So I made a (very bland) graphic with the lyrics.

Fences

Yes, it is supposed to be just black and white. The first lines of the song gave me the idea to do it that way (I'm sitting in a room/Made up of only big white walls).

And I did end up making one for My Wish, and here it is. This one's kinda bland, too, but whatever. My inspiration tank is running on vapors.

My Wish

I GOT BREAKING DAWN TODAY. Hard back cover, no less. ^^ It was like, $25, though, which made me feel kinda bad, since I asked my grandmother to buy it for me, knowing full well that she would even if I didn't ask... And I got a book that teaches you how to play the piano, which is good, since I have a piano and I don't really know how to play it... And now I'm rambling. I'll shut up now.

*sob*

As much as I'm glad that school is almost over (10:00 Wednesday morning!), I'm also really sad that is has to end so soon (Soon? June 3^rd? WTF?!). My English and Choir teachers I'll especially miss, and probably my Spanish teacher, too, not to mention all the friends that I only see in school...
Anyway. My English teacher gave us a little goodbye speech yesterday, and played us a song called My Wish, by Rascal Flatts. I freaking cried, I was so sad (pathetic, I know). But it is a good song... So good, I think I'll post the lyrics!

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window.
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to.
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to,
I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too.
Yeah, this is my wish.

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you in the place you left.
I hope you always forgive and you never regret.
And you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to.
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to,
I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too.
Yeah, this is my wish.

May all your dreams stay big.

I am so gonna go make a siggie with that song...

OMGPINE

Hah. Y'know how they say that laughing makes you live longer?

...I think I added like ten years by reading this thread.

Click if you want to live longer.

"I'd Lie"

So y'know how I was looking for songs to fit the Beast BoyxRaven pairing? I'd Lie, by Taylor Swift, fits it to a T (pun intended). But, you'd only agree if (like me) you honestly thought that Raven is pining away for him. If you don't think that but support the shipping, you probably won't agree. If anyone has any fitting songs, please leave a comment. Like I said, I need inspiration. Desperately. I'm gonna go make graphics now...

Teen Titans

I watched a Teen Titans marathon yesterday. I love that show...Raven is officially my favorite character. And does anyone else support the whole Beast BoyxRaven thing? 'Cause I think it's adorable. ^^
I need to find songs that fit them, because I'm planning on writing a fanfic for the pairing, and I need inspiration. Desperately. So, I'm gonna go find some.

No. Just... no.

Seriously. One of the most awesome people on Warrior's Wish just left. She was, like, my best friend there. Yeah.

Gloom.

Gloom left. I am gonna freaking cry. (Gloom, if you ever read this, I'm gonna kill your dad.) Ugh. I'm gonna go make her a goodbye graphic...

Here it is: a last tribute to Gloom.

Goodbye, Gloom

Lucky you...

I love the song Lucky You, by Taylor Swift. Then again, I love everything by Taylor Swift, but still... It's such a sweet song! So I decided to make a siggie for it! This is probably one of my all-time favorite graphics.

Lucky You

Yeah. There's an avatar and clickie that goes with it, but it's really simple, so it'd be kinda pointless to post it. But there is one that I made for a graphics battle a couple days ago that I like. It's an avatar-only GB using the song Livin' On A Prayer. I took the last couple lines of the song for this.

All You've Got (100x100)
All You've Got (100x150)

I like the 100x100 one better, but I think they're both pretty dull...

It was awwwwwesome.

There was a food fight at my school yesterday. I was too worked up about the choir thing to remember about it, but still. Like the title says, it was awwwwwesome. Also, it the first real food fight I've ever seen. But I actually missed most of it, 'cause I was at the vending machines getting a Dr. Pepper. I heard lots of screaming, and at first I thought it was a fight, so I went to look, and saw: 1. People running at me (one of my best friends jumped over a table), and 2. Lots of stuff flying through the air. So then I ran back and got my soda. Then our principal got really pissed off, and that wasn't fun... But whatever. It was still, like, the highlight of my entire week.

Oh, crap...

Yeah. So. Y'know my choir audition?

WELL, IT SUCKED.

Seriously. My voice cracked, and I messed up really badly on one of the songs, and he made me sing the high key on the Star-Spangled Banner. Even after I told him I couldn't hit the high notes. I was shaking the entire time, and I cried when I was finished.

But enough with that. My friend's fifteenth birthday was today. Happy birthday, Akeno-chan! She got a Twilight poster with Edward and Bella on it. I love Twilight... Good thing she does, too. Anyway, here's the birthday graphic. Akeno-chan loves We the Kings. ^^

Check Yes Juliet

Here's one I made yesterday. I kinda like it, but... meh. The lyrics are from the song This Is My Time by Raven Symone. It's the credit song for The Princess Diaries 2.

Time to Shine

YES!!

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL LEFT!

Then I'm off to camp, and then to Florida! I can't wait. Next week is my last week of school, and it's not even an entire week, as we have Memorial Day off. Then I have exams Monday and Tuesday, and one on Wednesday (last day of school). I only have to stay until 10 AM that day. Then I can officially say that I survived my freshman year of high school. Yipee for me. I swear, I live for summer. It's so nice to not have to get up at 6 AM every day...

I have another new layout (obviously)! This one is darker, which I like, but it has MUSIC. My life revolves around music. So, naturally, I decided I'd use it. Hah...

And speaking of music, I have an audition for my school's Selcet Choir on Friday, and I think that when I go in the room to sing, I'll pass out. Or throw up. Whichever comes first. It isn't so much the singing that scares me; I can sing in front of my class of about 40 girls no problem. It's who I'm auditioning for. If it was my teacher, it would be fine, but it's not. It's her husband (the director of the music department), and... HE SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME. So, that should be fun. I'll shut up now.

LOST

OH. MY. GOD. The LOST season finale was freaking EPIC. For those of you who saw it and know what I'm talking about, then you probably feel the same way (no offence if you don't...). The only bad part?

THEY KILLED MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. WTF?!

Yeah. Juliet died. I'm soooo sad... I wore black to school today, 'cause I was in mourning...

More fanfiction!

OMIGOD. I HAVE A NEW FANFIC IDEA.

Yeah. Thanks go to my friend for the idea, but I get to write it. WOO! It's gonna be a V.B. Rose fic, and also my first shot at any sort of angst, no matter how slight. So yeah. Excitement. And since I just realized that most of you probably don't know what my Fanfiction.net pen-name is, I'll tell you. It is Kasumi the Stargazer. *shameless self-promotion* Visit and read the fics, please!

--Hikari

More desktops...

Yes. I rather like them, really. One is very, very simple, one took me about 45 minutes to make, and the other is in the same style as my Ayu and Nina ones. Anyway, here they are.

Unsung
Piano=<3
Husky (+Anima)

So yeah. I read the awesome-est fanfic yesterday. I called You and Me, by an author named Audley. If you are a KyoxTohru shipper for Fruits Basket, you should read it. It's pretty dang good. And, if you listen to the song You and Me (by Lifehouse) while you read it (only at the part the song comes in, though), it's even better. It brought me to tears, literally.

--Hikari

Fanfiction=<3

Haha... Yes. I love/adore/am smitten with Fanifiction.net. It is amazing. Not that it hasn't always been, but still. I am, however, disappointed by the utter lack of V.B. Rose fics. There's only, like, four (two of which I wrote, one of the aforementioned that is by any means good) on the whole site. It is discouraging, but I digress.

--Hikari

Blah...

School is the suck. Seriously. Although I did watch a video of an autopsy yesterday in Biology, and I gotta admit, that was pretty cool. I'm in such a good mood today. Y'know why?

I READ THE TWENTY-SECOND VOLUME OF FRUITS BASKET. OMFG. *biglonghugegiganticfangirlsqueal* HOLY CRAP. I'm not going to post what happens, for the sake of the readers who haven't read it, but... I'll leave it at this: I cried. Right in the middle of my algebra class. Then I cried again on the bus ride home, because I read it AGAIN. *contented sigh* So, yeah, hence the good mood. And now... I'm not really so sure what to say, so I'll shut up now.

--Hikari

New Layout!

Woo! Yes.. I'm terribly sorry if all the colors are blinding anyone, but I positively adore the flashy rainbow-ness. So there.

EDIT:// BTW, the links are the same color as the normal text now. Just so ya know. ^^

OMG A WEB

Yeah, so, I finally got around to fixing my freebie site, Infinite Originality. Now it's all pretty and stuff, with a hot-air balloon layout. ^^ If ya want to see it, click the name. And, I made two new sigs... One is Kiki's Delivery Service-inspired, and the other is... random. But it's pretty, so I don't really care.

I'm Gonna Fly
Searching for the Sun

"Searching for the Sun" comes with an avatar that I am pretty darn proud of, so I'll put it up too. It only took me like, 5 seconds to make, but whatever. Again, it's pretty. ^^



I really want to open up a shop, but the last... *counts* THREE I had died within about two weeks. So I'm not sure if I'll try again or not. But I digress...

--Hikari

Graphics Battles...

Yup, the good ol' GBA... So, yeah. I made a couple things for graphics battles today, and they're both epic fail, but whatever. I'm posting them anyway.

Gives You Hell
Hello Seattle

Eh... yeah. I actually like the Hello Seattle one better. And if you've never heard that song, go to YouTube and look it up. Hello Seattle by Owl City.
Like I said, both are fails. Feh.

--Hikari

A Few Desktops

Hmm. I've gotten really into making character-themed desktops lately, so here are a few. And yeah, they're all basically the same style.


Ayu
Nina

They're the main characters from a manga called Ultra Maniac. I'm not so crazy about the Nina one, but I really like the Ayu. Did you know Ayu means trout?! I have this really cool siggie that I made too. It's really simple, but I think it came out okay.

One Step at a Time

First Post!

Woo, first post! Okay, so, here's the gist. I like making graphics. I'm not the best nor the brightest out there, because I don't have those amazingly awesome, flashy programs like Photoshop, but whatever. The things I make are simple, and often will have song lyrics on them. I especially like making desktop backgrounds, so those will show up most, but the occasional forum signature or avatar will pop up from time to time. This layout is only temporary, by the way. A nicer, cooler one will be up soon (hopefully).
