Dream City


Long journal is long. First things first. New CSS.
I wanted something simpler, cleaner, but still me. Tell me what you think? :) And this way I don't have to worry about copying and pasting codes into my journal content. Still have to get commission links and such all set up, but for now I'm pretty happy ;)

I'm pretty excited. :iconwhirl-wind: is coming over to Northern California this summer and we're going to meet up with :iconsupermelisa3149::iconambius::iconmynoctemaeternus::iconavreania: down in So Cal. I've known all of these girls for years. YEARS! And all of us met through neopets.com when we weren't even teenagers. Most of us have grown up together. And now we are finally meeting! I swear, if one of you turns out to be an axe murderer I'm going to be pretty pissed off :XD:

So yeah. I've been sick as ever for the past 5 or so days. It all peaked yesterday, when I could barely lift my head without getting dizzy, coughing, and all sorts of yuck. Bright lights were painful. The slightest noises were deafening. Not cool. But last night I went through a series of intense shifts in body temperature, which was by far the worst. I'd either wake up freezing cold or sticking to my blankets from sweat. I don't get sick often. In fact, the last time I got sick was about a year ago. When I do get sick, I get REALLY sick. But, the good news is, come morning I felt totally better.

When I told my mom about said temperature change her logic basically flew out her rear.
Mom: "WHAT?! Go to Kaiser! Now!"
Me: *blank stare* "Did you not hear me? I said I felt totally better!"
Mom: "Take vitamin C! Drink water! You could have SWINE FLU!"
Me: "Yes mom. I have swine flu." *woogly fingers in her face* "No seriously. I. Feel. Better." *starts to walk away*
Mom: *shouts after* "SWINE FLUU!!"

lawl.

Anyway. The week has been rather crazy. I don't know how many of you have noticed all this crap going around about "Character Theft Drama" but seriously? I can't say this plainly enough. THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. I don't know where everyone got it in their heads that they should post journals about it, spreading it all over DA... OR that I or Whirl were accusing the maker of those adoptables of art theft. We weren't. She came to me asking me if they were too close for my comfort. I said pretty plainly "yeah, they are similar, but I'm not going to bite your head off if you keep them" because I know Dil's look is pretty generic. Nobody was crying over it. Nobody said "ZOMG MY CHARACTER YOU THIEF I AM ORIGINAL BECAUSE I HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS BLUE AND WHITE WAAAHH". I sure as hell know that there are a lot of characters that look like Dil.
That's as far as my case goes. I don't know if anyone else had a problem with the characters because comments were promptly hidden. But seriously. Enough posting journals about how "stupid it is that people claim copyrights to their characters." It won't get you anywhere and it just makes things worse :p


On a brighter note, I've received a lovely gift from the fabulous *MoonsongWolf!


Go give it some love! Cozmiah doesn't often get fan art because she is so complex X3

SWINE FLU.
Seriously, half my school paraded around in medical masks when it was super hyped up.


Love the new css, it is so cute and simple. I like simple and clean.

Hah, that's so cool, you all met over neopets and now your meeting up, especially since it seems you've known each other so long.

Stop there and let me correct it,
I wanna live a life from a new perspective,
You come along because I love your face,
And I'll admire your expensive taste.
:iconcricketwings:
haha! Someone fainted in my anthropology class and I swear, everyone started holding their breath. All my friends went home after that. He was just low on blood sugar -_-;

Yaaay :D That means a lot coming from you :heart:.
I'm such a lamp post lover.

I know right? Ahh Neopets. The bane of our existence, but we always go back to it x_x I owe a lot to that site. The whole reason I draw digitally is mostly due to that site. Oyyy.

It eventually turned into a joke--and then a Facebook group. But that's how most things worked at my high school hah.

<3
Me too! But I think you beat me with your fandom of them :3

That's a good way of looking at it for sure.

:icondreamingmyth:
I'm glad you are feeling better :)
And OOOOOH you will be in Southern Ca? When??? :paranoid: (You know =WrathOfNessis and me are in So Ca too right?) lol
anyways, I totally missed the dArama about the adoptables until it was all said and done already :shrug:

FAQ #9: Can I just take deviantART submissions and use them elsewhere?
:iconcricketwings:
In the beginning of August most likely :D

haha probably better that way. I didn't even know it was "drama" until I started seeing journals pop up everywhere saying basically "RAWR so pissed about people claiming ownership to a design!" >.> I had to go around saying "yo, no one is claiming ownership." It was all just a big fuss. Bleh.

:heart:
:iconxilovehorsesx:
Haha swine flu. :p
A bunch of schools in our area closed down during the big scare.
One of my friends got nicknamed Swiney because she got sick during that time.

That's cool that you are coming down to So Cal :D
A lot of people on here are from there it seems (me included :3).

And I like your new CSS. :D

I love the new journal CSS Cricket!
Its really beautiful, plus it has similarities to your old design.
I'm such a dummy, I can never get my head around all of that coding. :dummy:

Oh gosh, swine flu.
The whole worlds gone crazy over some minor flu, I swear. I mean, every night the news updates us on how many people have caught it in the country.
Since my mums a primary school secretary she's been given a mask to wear, and she has been told to send any kid that even coughs home.
She told me that out of 300 students, 60 have been away the past few days.

I never so much as heard a peep about the adoptable drama.
What was it about? What have I missed now? :XD:

I wanna join you in the meetup! T_T

Ohh just... well I probably should refrain from naming names. Someone made an adoptable set and one of them looked a bit like Dil, in that it was blue with some white and star patterns along its spine. Someone pointed out that "that adoptable looks like this character" and proceeded to link to pictures of Dil. I was then noted about the similarity from the adoptable creator. She asked me if I thought they were too similar, and offered to change/remove the design if I so desired. I said "They do look similar, but don't worry about it. It would put my mind at ease if there were a little bit of changes, but no worries if you don't want to." Because you know, there's tons of characters that are similar to Dil XD. You have one of them *Pets Torius*. The next thing I know, the person that originally pointed out the similarity started getting flamed, journals were popping up everywhere about the matter saying "you can't claim ownership of a design" etc. Everyone got the complete wrong idea of the situation, and basically got angry over nothing.
Comments on the pic were disabled, but I hear that others were claiming similarities to their characters too. I have no way of knowing though.

Bleh. I don't even know why/how it got turned into such a big deal, since most of it was handled through note.

:iconthegreatandmightyoz:

lol, swine flu. I thought it was kinda funny how everyone freaked out for a week and then forgot about it. :XD:
Glad you're feeling better! =)
