School’s Out

Hey all!

Finally, School’s over… Luckily I didn’t have to take any of the finals, which means that I have a 95+ in every subject: straight A’s again… -sigh- Everyone wants to get straight A’s, but honestly, after a while, it gets a little annoying. If you even get a B+, after getting A’s all your life, everyone’s talking: “Gasp! [name] just got a B!” or maybe “I can’t believe [name] got a B” or “I can’t believe I got an A and [name] got a B!”. Yes, it truly is annoying. I find it more interesting to not be a straight A student because if you don’t get them often, when you finally do it’s a thrill. Oh well, you win some, you loose some.

I’ve made perhaps the biggest update in my history of updating. I’m starting a new section of the site, which I find rather stupid I didn’t do before because it’s no rocket science. -background fancy music- 100 x 100 Icons! The section is still under construction, but there are currently 46 Icons divided in two categories: The Twilight Movie (which I’m waiting for soo badly) and the Narnia 2: Prince Caspian movie. They have black strips on the border, and you may wonder why. Well, the reason for this is that they were made from their respective trailers, but I will make some non-trailer ones. Please comment (or post on the C-box, since the comments don’t seem to be working) If you like them, because otherwise, I won’t make any more.

As you’ve obviously noted the comments aren’t working at all. The problem is that the section below the post (when you’re typing) repeats itself and so, it’s messing up with the comments, etc. So if you have wordpress and you know how to fix it, please contact me. I’m desperate for some comments. :(

Edit: Guess what? Comments work! :) Nasty Plug-in! Also a little question: Would you like me to post news on world events, celebrities, technological developments, or other stuff? Please answer in the comments and say which kind.

That’s all I’m typing for now… I might go make some icons… Until next time!



Bookworm

Hey people! How’s everyone! Sorry about the “Comments Off” bit, it’s a Wordpress glitch which I obviously have to fix. Long time no blog… So, here’s a little of what you’ve been missing.

I finish the math project as I told you in a previous post. But what I didn’t say was, that the teacher thought it was the best out of all the other people who did it. So, that kind of makes me feel good, after all that hard work, site-neglection, stuff-neglection, it all paid off.

I finished my history report about the WWII, don’t know if I did so well. I find the topic boring and thus, with my lack of interest, I don’t think I rose up to expectations.

School’s almost over, finals start next week. This means that there are only three official days of school, which is in part good news. The bad part of this is that, on these three days, I have at least two tests. One of these is very important because it tells if I qualify for Advanced Spanish, which I really want to get into.

Normally, no school + website = lot’s of updates. Unfortunately for you guys (and fortunately for me), I got into the engineering program I mentioned in an earlier post, which means I’ll be away for two weeks, with no access to a computer… Oh well… You’ll just have to be a little patient with me. I will, however, talk with Phil, to see if he would keep posting about his very um, interesting life.

So this brings me to my original title: Why Bookworm? Well I have 5 books waiting for me to read them and I want to do it before their respective movies come out, so I’m in a bit of a rush.

Sorry, I’m gonna have to cut this post short… I’ll be back later to edit it… I must go read: have to finish like 600 pages in a week. Although a movie of this particular one isn’t coming, the next one in line is… OH well, See ya!



Im Back:]

Hi everyone! Im back! From where ? LOL from life. I’ve been pretty busy and now I’ll try to make more graphics but the problem is next week its STAR testing, and I HATE STAR testing, but I have to stay home and not be able to use the computer T~T did you guys have STAR testing yet?

Do you know about the series Warriors? Warrior cats? Never heard of it? If you have and you like it and you’ve read the series, join my forums page at forbiddenstreet.proboards85.com, if you havent you should read those books. Its about a bunch of cats living in a territory and conflict happen and cats receive prophecies from their ancestors and stuff just happens and its really dramatic! Please join my website if you’ve read it!

One random thing about me right now: Im eating pancakes!! Hahaha, pretty random! Okay, that’s all I’ve got to say now, Im off! Bye!



Back From the Grave

My math project is done! Our teacher said that out of the four groups that did the same project, my group was the best. I’m so relaxed now!

Bummer of a week

Hah , since no one’s avaliable for updates, I’ll do it! Haha, well, I made two new tutorials, but I dont think Adrian have put them on yet. It’s about chatspeak and smilies (pretty random!) Since I’ve got no more ideas, I’, doing random things. I’m not sure what the second tutorial was… but it’s worth a while if you would read them! Hahaha…

This week’s been almost the worst week of my life, well highschool, you know…drama xD There’s almost the Physical Fitness testing in my school! Argh! I’m a fast mile runner (6:50) Which I passed, I did the sit and reach but I missed by one centimeter (so no presidential :() and then shuttle run, I missed by ONE MILISECOND. Curl ups I passed. Push ups passed. If only I had made the shuttle run within the presidential time, I would of been able to re take the sit and reach, thus making me able to reach presidential…but instead, I have to live with everyone taunting me about not getting presidential and they getting it! Such a bummer…

I had about 5 tests this week T~T not including my history test and my sign language alphabet test (helen keller…) and my science test today. It was pretty hard . But the most thing that hit me the hardest was that I ordered a book that I was dying to read and it came out on Tuesday, but then it would ship on Wednesday because of the UPS people, but then my mom wasnt home to pick it up, and then yesterday it came today, but then my mom wasnt home…AGAIN . Then today, the book came, and thankfully my mom was home!! Hahahaha. Well…

Tom from myspace also deleted my myspace account…which I had a great myspace layout, over 200 friends (which is hard to get!) and over 1000+ comments! I was like T_T when that happened. Why did he delete my myspace account?!?!?!?!?!?!? I feel so…STUPID and…ughhh!!! For now, if you guys want to chat with me, I’m living with my friend in California who has a daughter named Julie who’s chinese and who has a myspace, so if you guys would like to reach me there with your myspace account, you can. Her url is: myspace.com/runningfunny. So if you want to chat with me…just tell her and…yes:) more about living with my friend later.

That’s it for now :) Bye!



Went to several places…

I went to several places the past weekend^^ I went to UC Merced for an open house for my brother since he’s off to college. For those of you who don’t know about UC Merced, it’s a brand new University of California school that is located in the city of Merced in central California. It’s a brand new facility with an awesome campus! To my opinion, it’s better than all of the other UC’s in my state. The dorms were amazing, the classrooms were so detailed and fresh, the library was one building that had 4 floors, oh my goodness! It was amazing! Yosemite Lake was right next to UC Merced. UC Merced’s right next to a huge area of plains so, you can escape school! I’m planning to go to UC Merced when I grow up! Such an awesome school!

I stayed over at a person’s house on my way to Merced because Merced’s pretty far from my city, ya, so had a picnic;; made some friends…etc (whatever a person could possibly do on a weekend)

I’m also heading to a camp. Not really a camp, but a special event that I’m having with my family. We’re headed to a place called Alpha House near Lake Tahoe (not IN!) I’m going there on May 3rd-4th, and May 16-18 (again) It’s going to be lots of fun, I’ll update you on those things later when I’m back=P

I also made 2 tutorials that were pretty random. I made one about 3D texts, which teaches you on how to make your text 3D in PSP. I also made a resource/tutorial on chatspeak and smilies that people use on the internet. The chat speak and smilies one has a lot of smilies that you often see people using. It’s pretty interesting, check it out when Adrian puts it up!

That’s all for now from your blabber Sophia:) Catcha guys later, I’ll be making a lot more tutorials! Yay! Bye for now!

////EDIT FROM ADRIAN

Sorry people! I wont be available for another few days…. When I say the math project is hard i mean it… So please forgive me for one more week… Thanks!

END EDIT////



Hi Everyone!

Hi everyone! Yes, Sophia is still here:) I’ve redesigned my page (aka, my meet the staff page) I made lots of tutorials to make it up for the past few weeks. I made things such as, downloading and importing brushes to Paint Shop Pro. I made transparent griding without using brushes. I did scanlines with Halftone in Paint Shop Pro, and there’s a bunch more that needs to be added:) (thank you adrian.) Hope you check ‘em out!

Other than that, WordPress is working out very good for me:) School=okay. I just had my spring break, didnt do anything, but here in Cali, it’s burning hot! At least, it was on Friday-Sunday. I almost melted (like literally=K) If you guys live here in Cali you would probably die in the area I live.  But now, the weather is okay…for a while…until Summer comes. Oh ya, school is almost over! Wow, that was a fast year!

I dont have very much things to say…because I’m not much of a talker…well on my staff page I included my MSN, my email, and my aim (haha) and my chatango account. Chatango is a chatting website that some people go on, you can just add me there if you create an account at chatango.com, it’s really easy to use and you can easily chat with your friends (if they’re on) I didnt list my aim because I dont have aim downloaded on my computer right now, and if I do, my brother is going to delete it again, so you wont need to know my aim:) Oh yes, I DO have a myspace…just forgot my myspace URL, as soon as I find it…I’ll tell you guys:)

Okay, that’s it for now! Hope you guys check out my tutorials and take advantage of them, because I’ll be making more soon!



Still Alive People!

Yes, I know I’m STILL ALIVE… I can’t say much, except that I’m still working on my math project. I’ve been really busy and I won’t be able to dedicate full time to the site for a while… I haven’t forgotten the PSD’s so I’ve made a few, and there are a few that need uploading. I feel soo tired right now and wish it were friday.

I’m planing on bringing the weekly video back… But I just need to search for some :)

Right now, my eyes are drowsy and I’m only awake because I’m looking at the bright monitor. So… Since I honestly don’t have anything productive to say right now… I’m going to ask a question. You can answerfreely on the comments but keep a nice vocabulary.

Imagine your neighbor is spying on you… And you caught him watching you with a pair of binoculars through his living room window. He nevers stops, he’s always watching… What would you say to that neighbor?



Hi everyone^^

Hi I’m back and I’ve got some news=P First, I’m trying to get used to WordPress, as some of you have noticed, since I’ve never used it before I’m pretty confused, but now I’m sort of getting used to. Also, I have Paint Shop Pro 8 so that means I get to post some new tutorials! I havent done them in a LONG time so I’ll make it up with my tutorials. Any topics you guys want me to show you? OK just comment them and then I’ll try to get back to you;)

 Remember Lily Smallie the turtle? Ha, well she’s sooo much better except that shes growing REALLY big, really really big! Like 2 months ago when I showed you guys about her shell being soft, she was only 1 inch long. Right now, she’s like 1.5 inches! She’s growing very fast! I’ll have to get a new aquarium for her. Talking about aquariums, I got a free 40 gallon aquarium with fish! I have 4 swordtail with one mom who’s having babies, 3 tetras, 3 zebra fish and 2 plecostamus. I tried putting my turtle with them but Lily was attacking the fish x3

Well, that’s a lotta news! Well, I’ll be back soon with the tutorials:)



First Day of School

You know when it’s the first day of school, or when you return from a short vacation (you could say Easter Break), people tend to talk a lot… Wether it’s to tell their experiences, what they did, or where they went, they always talk more than usual…

The first thing you noticed (Or I noticed in my school) is the division of students into social classes or cliques or whatever you want to call it.

First there were the seniors, obviously standing out because their shirt is of a different color. They were looking at pictures, sitting on the floor and just talking to each other…

Then there were the jocks. Every time I walked past them they were talking about basketball practice or the game that was on last night.

Then there were the sports fans. These were talking enthusiastically about last night’s games… They described the most important shots, the best plays and the most valuable players. To me, this was (and is) all a bunch of mumbo jumbo… I don’t know the first thing about basketball…

Then were the groups of girls, gossipping as usual. They were talking and smiling and smiling and talking.

Then there are the nerds… Talking about homework as usual… Pathetic (though I might consider myself one of them).

Then we see the “wanna be’s” always trying to be like someone else… Or those who think they’re gorgeous but are really ugly…

So basically, today was a weird day. Weirder than usual. What I can’t figure out is: Why do people talk so much when they haven’t seen each other for more than 24 hours? I guess that’s one question that doesn’t have an answer.

Astonishing as it may sound, I already have 4 tests announced, two this week and two the next. Chemistry, Geometry, English and English… Bleh!

This weekend I’m going to a university to take a test to see if I can enter into a 2 week engineering program. I’m pretty excited so I hope I get in.

That’s all for now! (There goes my stupid catch phrase again…)
