Wallpapers!~ o wo

     I'm currently getting myself some free PhotoShop to finally work with to get past all of this horribly narrow options of editing. Like having to fade one image if I want to combine two. :L Have you guys noticed that? That I always have a faded image in one of my wallpapers. Stupid photo editing software. e_e Such limited options. I always have to constantly switch between PhotoScape and PhotoPad when I'm editing a photo for certain effects. BLARGGG! D:<<<< Ffff. Anywaaay. I'm still seriously editing the first of Brittany's wallpapers, but I need PhotoShop for it. Because neither of my programs have the effect I need so they gotta be a bitch and I have to download ANOTHER software. e_e; So while it is still downloading, I did a quick(ish) edit. And here it is~! :P

Crap, I know. But I reaaaally wanted to use that hand picture. I have a lot of scenic picture I want to use from the video, actually. ;o They'll be a good reference for my Graphic Arts class when school starts back up. 

//Later

I FINALLY finished this god mother fucking wallpaper. Just for you, Brittany. Stayed up for hours editing this. X'D Although part of all that time was spent trying to figure out how the hell I was supposed to work PhotoShop. Nao. Get this thing out of my hands. e_e;

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO BLOG BEING DORMANT]

And now, I'm going to bed. :L

//Even More Later

Bam. Finished this thing in like twenty minutes. I now love PhotoShop. :D Makes things so quick and easy. I think I could have gone without the white border dots, but it seemed too empty. XD So I added that and the black feathers. I really don't like the font I used for Pain, but I had already saved it, and couldn't change it. :L Fooey. Now, here is your Three Days Grace wallpaper, Britt. :]

You're welcome.

And to answer your comment, Brittany, no I was not feeling British when I wrote my parting to one of my last entries. I was feeling Aussie. ;D

I switched songs during all of this chaos.

Just A Little Quickie Before I Go

     I'm in the middle of watching the last episode of City Hunter before the season finale [which is currently being subbed], which you two know is my OBSESSION, and ohmygawd it's so damn good so far. They better have a second season! This has so much more potential to build upon and stress us viewers out for a week to think about with all their ending cliffhangers! I sound frantic. Whooooohh... Okay, I'm good. So, just to recap from Brittany's billion comments, I have two wallpapers to make and have to explain how to put YouTube videos up. XD The two songs I'll be doing is "Like a Star" by Corrine Bailey Rae, and "Pain" by Three Days Grace, correct? Now, to put up a video. On this little posting toolbar where you write stuff in, there is a little icon of that black thing everyone in the film industry uses when they yell "TAKE 2!" or whatever. Click on it. It should say "Add A Video" at the top left corner. On the side, click the option "From YouTube." Now, you have two options. Personally, I like to put in the URL of the video I'm listening to, and it'll be the first video that comes up in the results. Or, you could search for what you're looking for like you would normally do on YouTube. Then, simply click the video and click "Select" at the bottom. Then poof! The video will be posted into your entry. If you want, you can position it to the left or right ONCE after it appears in your post while your writing. It won't move after you've moved it to the left or right, unless you press the little back arrow on the toolbar for the post and NOT for the website, or Ctrl + Z [my preferred option]. 

Now, I'm back to go watch City Hunter! <333333

I just want to edit this back into this, because I don't want to write another post with my hands shaking pretty badly. That episode.. It just left me bawling and gasping for air during the entire end of it. It's been a long, long time since I cried that hard. Season two [if they have one] just won't be the same without him.. TT_TT God, that was hideously sad. 

What To Update You On.. How About.. LEXI! :D

     Haha, you guys should know by know that I'll link whatever song I'm listening to at the end of the post. Soo, I'll just go ahead and link that down there right now since I'm in such a good mood from it and from Lexi. :D All righty, now down to updating all of you guys. [Well, the two of you. x'D] I've basically been.. well there's no other way to put it. X'D I be creepin' up on yo Formsprings! >:D Haha, well Lexi's. Before I get into why I do, let me give a mini lesson. Formspring, if you guys don't know, is a site that allows you to answer anyone questions that they submit to you. The person can submit it with their Formspring account so that the one receiving the question will know who asked it, or it can be asked anonymously by simply clicking the "Hide My Name" button. This way, the receiver of the question has no clue who sent it. Back to Lexi now. xD Well, I've been creepin' up on her Formspring a bit lately. It's not as bad as it sounds, promise. I basically just check it to see if anyone's calling her slut recently or something similar. So when I do find something like that, I make it my job to try to make her smile. :D I always go on anonymous, and I've only told her that I'm her secret admirer. XD She has two others, so it's not like I'm alone here. Although I'm the only one who uses literacy. :P [Gosh I'm tired. :x I'm throwing out huge yawns and everything as I'm writing this.] I'd like to see if you two can see who I am on there. >:D //dorky accent   I challenge thee! XO Find Lexi at: formspring.me/staybrut4l. Find moi at: formspring.me/bsturtle. [Pssssst! Ask away, I get so bored on mine! xD] Hm.. any other Lexi related news..? Ah. Find her boyfriend Damian at: http://www.formspring.me/stayp0sitive. The only thing I've asked on his was about his real name, the latest question. ;P He's a really nice guy. ^ ^ Ah, and the last picture I gave you guys of Lexi was from last summer. XD So here's a way more recent one, taken last week or something.

Haha, sorry it's sideways. That's the way it is on her Facebook. ;P Her septum [I think that's what it's called. The one in her nose.] piercing is fake, but her lip piercing is real. Personally, I don't like her septum piercing, but I do really like her lip piercing. Hm.. I think that's all I have new about her. And to be honest, I'm close to passing out right now. So goo' night, mates!

- Savana ☯

I switched songs halfway through, so here's the other one. ;P

Oh, and. BRITTANY, YOU BETTER GET YO' ASS HOME SOON, PUNK! Or else I'll miss you too much. D; Don't make this turtle die of loneliness! Dx

More Wallpapers. xO

     Why do I make these in the middle of the night? (ll_ _) I need to sleep already. Anyhoo, as per Christal's request, I tried [and failed x'D] to make a wallpaper to Florence + The Machine's song "Blinding." However, since there is no official music video to the song, I just snatched photos off of the songs "Drumming Song," "You've Got the Love," and "The Dog Days Are Over." :P The font came out brighter than I wanted when I was rendering it in a larger size, but it's already done, so oh well. And without further adeu..

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO BLOG BEING DORMANT]

asdfghjkl; I know I failed. D: It's too dark, the font's too bright, my signature's not supposed to be bolded, the photo is blurry.. :x This one is horrid. I can't help the darkness since I was using a photo of stars/space as the backdrop. :L

Also, I edited the first of the "Skyscraper" wallpapers. I got a new photo editing software and was experimenting with it, and this came to be. I like it a bit better than the original, but the quality was fucked up. -.-" Opinions?

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO BLOG BEING DORMANT]

Any other requests? c: [Which I hopefully won't screw up.]

- Savana ☯

I'll leave you guys with a song.

Skyscraper Wallpapers.

     Okay, it took me hours [four, to be exact] to finally get the first one done. I couldn't find a good way to match the photos, until I finally said "BLAHH! D:<" and slapped something together. So this is the efforts of that. xD

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO BLOG BEING DORMANT]

That's the first one. ^ ^ What do you guys think? Comment and if you guys like it enough, I might be able to whip up some more semi-decent wallpapers from the music video. I got the photo shots directly off the music video, and I just had to arrange them in a way that made it look good. :L It's hard. Back to editing to make another one! XD

     I don't know how long this one took. I was doing it, then fell asleep and finished it when I woke up.

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO BLOG BEING DORMANT]

Leave song requests and I will make a wallpaper or two for you and post it here. c:

Mixer Mash Up! :D

     Onee moment. I'm creating a wallpaper for Demi Lovato's new song "Skyscraper" and I need to grab a few screenshots from the video to make it. :D //Ten minutes later. That took a while to get all the screenshots. u_u; Now I can edit it all. 8D I'll post up the photo at the end and you guys should comment on what you think of it. This is gonna take a solid hour or so. I edit for a looong time when I want it to look good. XD asdfghjkl; I need to download Fireworks so I can erase the background. :L This is going to take forever to download, so I'll write this post up while I'm waiting.

     I've gotten extremely into Demi's new song, and I love the message it sends out. You can do everything in your power to tear me down, but I'll get back up again, no matter what.  I've heard people say she's gone into rehab and had eating disorders and all of this and that, but I don't know that much about her. If she's gone through all that and is still pulling through, she must be amazing. Total respect for her. :] I hadn't edited or drawn anything in a while, so I wanted to do something. Watching this, I figured I could make a decent wallpaper directly from her video. Which I will link down below~ 

     Moving on! [This is a mash up, after all.] Updates on my brother and his girlfriend. So, apparently the girl my brother was going to marry and propose to, cheated on him.  Let me repeat that. The girl my brother intended on marrying cheated on him.  That's gotta hurt. Now he's back in the playing field to try to find girlfriend seventy something. Or eighty something. Somewhere around there. He also beat a guy up with a two foot wrench from his car and now has a two hundred foot restraining order placed on him. I swear, my brother's a complete imbecile. 

     God, now I'm exhausted. Been waiting for this program to download for an hour and trying to concentrate at one in the morning. Not going well. I might end up linking the finished photo in the next post instead. I'll try to tell you about my trip across California, but don't kill me if I don't finish it. x'D I'll probably finish in the morning in an edit or something.

.....Actually, I'm going to do that now. I'm too tired to talk about California. I'll edit this in the morning to write about it! :'D 

- Savana ☯

Fhhh..!

    I fell for her. Again. asdfghjkl; Ughhhh. I don't even know when or why.
    You guys probably don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll have to lay it all out for you. When I was in the seventh grade, there was an eighth grade girl in my P.E. class named Lexi. [No, not the same Lexi my brother was talking with. I have updates on that too, actually.] Well, at first, I thought she was absolutely beautiful.

[IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO BLOG BEING DORMANT]

Then, it turned out our lockers were only one away from being next to each other. (Her > Someone > Me) I almost always found myself staring at her. [Not when she was dressing. I made sure NOT to look at her when we were changing.] I starting talking to her, and she became even more amazing to me. So many people hated her for being a "fake slutty bitch" when she was exactly the opposite. I've known her for over two years now, and I can testify myself that she is one of the most real, and one of the nicest girls I've known. She's not afraid to let you know that she doesn't like you, but she'll always give you a second chance. It's almost impulsive for her to forgive someone. So I got to know her during seventh grade for about the whole semester, until she graduated that year and went to a high school far away. I've always kept in contact with her on Facebook, and still do.

     I remember last year, towards the end of the school year, I had finally gotten the courage to confess to her [over Facebook. x'D I couldn't do it face to face.] and tell her that I liked her. I knew I was going to get rejected, but I had just wanted to get it off my chest and tell her. Honestly, I think she was beyond nice in letting me down. [Which in the end just made me like her all the more.] She's always called me sweet because I just love to compliment her. People who hate her always put her down, and she doesn't show that she's affected, but it always hurts her, every time. I'm always trying to boost her self confidence, because she thinks she's fat and ugly, when she's completely gorgeous inside and out. Anyway, she let me down in a way that didn't make me feel bad for liking her, at all. 

    So, it's been about a year, year and a half since I've last seen her [in person], and months since I've talked to her. But lately, I find myself feeling the same as I did for her back in seventh grade. So somehow, I've fallen for her all over again. I was listening to this song today, and it reminded me so much of her.

                                       

     I always want to call her beautiful. I want her to be happy. God, I fell hard, didn't I? (ll_ _)

     I hope you guys have more luck with love than I do. The last person I fell for was gay. And my best friend. We got through it all, but he disappeared a month and a half ago [not literally] and I haven't talked to him since. I suppose I'll get into that story another time. I think I still have to tell you guys about Northern California, too. And what happened with my brother and his girlfriend. Another story for another day.

Tonight, Tonight!~

    Haha, I'm actually not quite irritated in the day yet. Well, I've only been awake for three hours, so maybe that's a given. x] I'm in a bit bubbly mood right now, and the song I'm listening to is helping, too. I'll see if I can post it at the end of this. For just a bit of recent news, I've [thankfully] had two days off from work, but I go back today in an hour or so. Also, I think my older brother broke up with his girlfriend. -_- The one he was going to marry. I heard him on the phone [I was born and raised to be an eavesdropper on him. It's his fault he talks so loud!] with some girl named Lexi.. just saying stuff you would say to a girlfriend, not just a friend. XD He might have broken up with Mikayla. I'll have to check Facebook and all that to see. Well, I'll keep this post sweet and short. Later, guys!

- Savana ☯

Tired. -_- Just. Tired.

     Ughhh.. God, I'm - I just did drop and fall asleep on my laptop. u_u; The fact that it's barely even midnight while I write this makes it even sadder. I'll keep this short. Uber short. I'm doing manual labor for money and it's making me tired as fuck. XD Only other update is that I finished watching Lie To Me, and I'm set on finding the OST's [Original Sountracks] to the other dramas I've watched. :L I've gone through three, and I'm working on finding the fourth. I might re-watch My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho. I really like that one. ;o Anyway, I'm going to bed. e.e Good night, good morning, wherever the fuck you are, good whatever.

Love This, Can't Believe This, You Whore.. Etc.

     For today's post, I have a jumble of things to talk about. The first thing I would like to cover would be Christina Grimmie's new album Find Me. It is the most absolutely amazing CD I've heard for a long time, and I adore all of her music. Find it on: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=441742002 For those of you who don't know, Christina is a singer on YouTube who is [I and 977, 078 others believe] extremely talented and completely deserves her own record deal. Find her at: http://www.youtube.com/user/zeldaxlove64 to listen to the great multitude of covers she's performed, and you can find all of the songs on her CD on YouTube as well. Find her on Facebook, too! :D http://www.facebook.com/christinagrimmie
     Anyway, as amazing as she is, off the topic of Christina. On to what I can't believe. Yeaah.. I left my laptop for a few hours while I was writing this, so I forgot what I couldn't believe. Oh! Right, right. Rogich [My old middle school. Sig Rogich Middle School.] is starting at GOD MOTHER FUCKING NINE IN THE DAMN MORNING! Seriously. What the fuck. Why couldn't they do this while I went there? And more importantly, you're putting little kids in danger.The reason the times for elementary, middle, and some high schools were set back is so that we can save money on bus drivers so we can just haul all the kids home at the same time. But. Think about it. You're having high schoolers on the same bus with elementary school students. Do you know how rude, immature, and downright bitchy so many high schoolers are? Now we have just one more horrid influence and more cause for bullying on defenseless elementary school kids. Honestly, I don't think a bus driver would care enough to stop a high schooler from bullying someone on the bus. So overall, this whole idea is just stupid and a waste of time. We'll just go back to staggering the times again in a few years anyway. But whatever Vegas. Just be the cheap ass you are anyway; we all know you don't plan on changing anytime soon anyway.
     Lastly for today, my daily whorefull irritation. My house has a damn ant infestation invasion. Ants fucking everywhere. On the counter, in your water [I know. Gross.], on the floor, in the bathroom.. You name it, they're there. So, I finally got so pissed off, I went on this sort of cleaning tornado. I threw everything off the counter [No, not literally.] and washed the damn counter four times. [It hadn't been cleaned in a while. -_-] Then did the dishes to get the roaches out the sink. Then sprayed the floor around the trash can to get rid of a good portion of the ants. And finally got so tired, I angrily trudged [if that's possible] to my mom's bathroom to take a shower. [My bathroom has been invaded.] Then finally sat my butt on a computer to tell you all of this.

Watch out for summer creepers! e_e

Where The Fuck Are You People?

     Jesus fucking Christ. [Sorry (not) to offend you religious ones out there, but I'm less than a smidgen religious, so get over your almighty self.] Why is everyone I know falling off the damn face of the planet lately? The three blogs I follow most, A Bitch Called Mom, Cirqueinese's Cosmic Newspaper, and White Chocolate's Webby Wisdoms, haven't posted in forever and they are a big piece of my entertainment, aside from Asian television. [We'll get into this later.] And to add to my exceeding boredom, no one on Facebook is posting anything. I suppose most of them actually have a life, unlike me. :'D I already went out of town [Northern California, as previously mentioned.] and I don't date so I can't spend time with a boy/girlfriend, so I don't have anything to do besides go on the computer. All of my friends are either out of town, live too far away for me to hang with them, or busy with God knows what.
     So now that everyone decided to go fall off the earth and surf to the moon, I'm stuck in my room watching TV until the crack of dawn [well, a little more than that] then sleeping till noon or two. Then I get back on the computer after breakfast and don't do anything else. What I should be doing is honing my shit drawing skills, practicing the piano, reviewing my Arabic, learning Hangeul [the Korean alphabet], learning Hiragana [one of the three Japanese alphabets], doing my summer reading assignment for school, trying to shed a few extra pounds, updating my iPod, learning how to cook basic vegetarian/vegan meals, playing video games, cleaning my room, researching what colleges I should be applying to, and the list just goes on. I only wrote all of that so that I can have something to refer back to when I forget what to do.
     I should re-vamp my closet, too. It's in a depressing, depleted, drab state. I outgrew a lot of my clothes, so I have a pile of clothes to give to... asdfghjkl; I can't remember the naaame - the Salvation Army! That's it. I already gave half of my closet to them last year, so I have hardly any clothes left. I have literally maybe ten or fifteen shirts. For the average fourteen girl, I'm pretty sure it should be possibly twice that amount. Trust me, my closet was four times bigger than it is now in elementary school. And I'm starting high school after this summer. Two problems, though: my mom is a clothing Nazi, and insists on checking all of my clothes and burns those "showing too much skin" [It was a sleeveless shirt. -__-] and I have no money to buy clothes. I lent out all of my $120 to my older brother for gas and other expenses he needs to pay. I never get allowance, only lunch money. So, this year, I quit eating lunch at school and saved the money instead to pay for personal things throughout the year. If I had kept all the money, I'd probably have around $300 or $400. Then I could seriously go shopping with my friends. D: But my brother can't pay me back until August, so I have to wait a whole month to get any money back from him. He's so damn lucky. His little sister is willing to lend him all her money, and doesn't charge interest, no matter how long it takes for him to pay back the money. -.- What am I? The Bank of America?
     Anyway, strayed off topic. People. Get your asses on a computer and keep in contact for God's sake. I can't text any of you, so you should at least get on your Facebooks once in a while. -__- I'll see you guys again, after I kick everyone's ass on Facebook for not being on.

New on the Net.

     Yo. I basically started this so I could rant at anything and everything freely, and let me tell you: designing a blog takes so much fucking time. To take a guess, I would think this took me about an hour, hour and a half to make. Maybe 'cause I did the advanced settings since I'm so damn picky about everything when it concerns my work on computers. Doesn't everything take a long time when you're trying to design it and make it look good? 
     I'm used to doing things like this in a nice, air conditioned computer lab, not my room where it's practically fucking ninety degrees at all times. Just Vegas in general  is too damn hot. Yesterday, for example. It was a rare overcast day with the sun nowhere to be seen. Dark grey storm clouds were crowding and pushing each other out of the way to cover the sky, and a small wind had picked up that might have made you want to clutch your jacket around you just a bit tighter. You would think that the temperature would be chilly from that, right? Wrong. It was completely humid out, with hair frizzing everywhere. Not hot per say, but not comfortable weather either. It made you want to grab a fan and have it on the go with you whenever you stepped out of the car.
     Anyway, you get the picture. Hot, sticky, and all around horrendous. I miss northern California, so damn much, but I'll get to that another time. For now, stop reading this and do some other shit. I might even see you another time.
