Okay, so I've made a new layout! It's Atreyu's latest album cover and since I could only find the front of the album online, I scanned my copy and photoshopped the front and back together into one image;

I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to photoshopping my images, so I don't know if it's good enough. What do you guys think?

There are two things I don't like about it and one I can fix, but I don't know how;
1) Since the layout's width is smaller, big images screw up the posistion of my usericons, so I've had to change my viewing so that the images are small buttons that link to the bigger picture.
2) I HATE the white boxes on the top of the header that pops up whenever I rollover the links and I have been trying for hours to find out where in the CSS coding it's located so I can change it and make it look like the linking on the sidebar. Anyone know how to change this, or what community I can go on and ask for help?

And now that the sidebar views my tags, I have to go through my 2005, 2006, ??? entries and tag them as well.

I need to make more icons for myself. :(

I've finally uploaded my Comic Con pictures, but need to add in the tags;

Projekt Revolution was FUN!
Rachel, Nikki and I got to the front of the crowd during "Armor of Sleep" and only hearing a couple of songs beforehand, these guys performing was amazing! Ben (the singer) came out into the crowd twice and the second time, Rachel sung in his microphone. After the performance, we got autographs, and I have to scan in mine.

Atreyu was the last on stage and after the previous band was over, I somehow made my way over the front of the stage, but I've never been pushed around and sweated on by so many people in my life. It was gross, but so worth being up front. Beachballs were being thrown everywhere and people were crowd surfing. There was a huge mosh pit behind me and I was being pushed and shoved all over; so I'm positive a lot of my photos were blurry.

Bought an Atreyu and Linkin Park shirt (finally I can show my pride), got something to eat, and got seats to the main stage where we saw the last half of "The Bravery." Then Chris Cornell came on and sung. It's funny cause I didn't know he was the singer for "Audioslave" and "Soundgarden" at first, but once Rachel told me, I was like "OH DER!" He was amazing and when he went into the stage, all these hands came up and started touching him. I swear, I need to draw a picture, cause that scene looked surreal. Then, he crowd surfed. :) Chester (of Linkin Park) came on and sung with Chris while their kids were bouncing around on stage. It was adorable.

Linkin Park's performance was FUCKING AMAZING! I'd never seen them before, but man, I was impressed! I wanna go again! I loved how the lighting effects were done cause that alone was worth the show. I was singing along the entire show. Thank you so much Rachel!

Now I need to upload those images. I take too many pictures!

I'm sorry I'm writing about these a lot...


Most places are supposed to give you a week vacation after a year of working full time right? Well, I just found out that "because of the industry" we don't get a week of vacation... Every three months, we aquire about 3hrs off... BULLSHIT! It's not the industry, it's you guys. I was promised a raise, I was promised I'd get to work on a OSX, and yet none of it has come.

Last week I had to take care of both mine and my partner's jobs while he was at school, while I ALSO had to cover our receptionists when she took her brake. Nothing. No raise. No vacation...

I wouldn't be able to take a week off for Ireland next year then. :( I just barely got away with three days off for Comic Con. I need to take a half a day off for July 6th, but now I don't even want to ask because of their fucked up regulations.

I need another job. I need another job. I keep sending out resumes, and failing. Failing because no one is contacting me back. It took me five months to get this job and it's slave labor...

I feel fat, and even though I've lost 36LBS, I'm still unaccomplished. I want to loose more and faster. I'm impatient.

I feel under appreciated and desire to work in the movie industry making posters and trailers, but don't have my BA or enough experience to do it. How would I, could I get noticed? I post my stuff online... I'm told I have the creativity and potential. I do what I can... and fail. Fail, fail, fail.

I want to maybe do video game testing, but don't know how or where to sign up for a job... Rachel, is where Guy is working hiring?

I lost my really cool New Zealand necklace at the tat shop...

I'm going down again... It happens every year, and every year I seek change. I'm not happy, I'm bored.

I have no energy to RP, no energy to draw or write or do anything creative. I've lost that spark... Or maybe I didn't have it to begin with. Maybe I'm just a crappy artist and should give up trying to write, draw or anything. There are plenty better artists out there, so why should I even bother anymore?

I want to move out, I want to room with friends, I want a better job, I want recognition. I want to be happy.

But besides my crappy day today, Jeff was able to get me into a free show of "She Wants Revenge" last night. Those guys are awesome in concert!
