My laptop is supposed to come tomorrow. I’m rather excited about that. I’ve been patiently waiting. They took for-freaking-ever. The weekend and the holiday didn’t help matters! But anyways, it’s supposed to be here tomorrow and I’ll be here waiting.
[Edit] My laptop finally came! It’s so beautiful, and amazing. Also, it has a REMOTE CONTROL, which I didn’t even know about. Anyways YAY!! [/Edit]
I got my car back today (again). It’s been in and out of the shop so many times I think I lost count. The mechanic swears this time he fixed it “FOR SURE!”.. but that’s what he said last time. The last few times it’s been in the shop there was no charge because it kept being the same shit that they had already fixed breaking down again. I really don’t think it’s THEIR fault though, because car mechanics can be kind of “iffy”. I just hope it’s fixed for real this time. I guess we’ll see. (Glad that place gives a warranty though, lol)
Anyways, I decided to try “pixeling” for the very first time. It’s actually pretty hard. But I think I kinda got it a little bit. Here are a few I made.. if you wanna check out the rest, then go here.

Yay for the arrival of your laptop. I was so excited when I got mine as well. I’ve had mine for 6 months, but still. I was jumping up and down like an energizer bunny. lol.
Yay for your car as well. I don’t drive and don’t have problems with mechanics. But I can imagine them saying the same thing everytime you go to get it fixed.
Wow. Nice pixels. I don’t have the patience to sit down and work on them and on the detail. But I really like the ones you’ve made.
Oh man, those are so cute! I wish I could pixel, I think I may have to try again someday! I did once and it was a total mess.
haha! & Yay! For getting a new laptop! I would die without mine! Stupid people, taking so long.
Congrats on the laptop! I wish I had one!
Esh, we had a machanic “fix” a car and it really wasn’t fixed. It was really annoying.
Awesome pixels! They look SO cute! Pixelling is hard =x
hey! nice layout, its very simplistic
Thank you. It wasn’t the easiest thing I have ever done. (pixeling) but I liked it and hopefully will get better at it because the ones I made are very “common” and mediocre at best. I want to try something original, I just haven’t figured out quite what that is going to be yet. My lappy came today. It’s amazing. I love it!
Thanks… although I did not design the entire layout myself. It is an altered version of a wordpress theme I found and I just changed it to suit me. But again, thank you. I am actually in the process of making my own theme. Hopefully it works out.
Well I’ve had custody of my niece Brianna (she’s three) since she was a baby, and I’ve learned a lot. I honestly think I’m more than ready for a baby!
Maybe we know eachother from livejournal/greatestjournal?
I wish you posted some shots of your new laptop. Anyways, congratulations.
Those are yummy pixels. They look so complicated to make. But they’re cute.
congrats on getting your laptop! and remote control? how does that work out?
and i love the pixels you made
That is NOT fair! I want a laptop more and more these days - I could do with one, so I’m very jealous that you got one!
Hehe, cool that you got your car back - I do hope it is fixed
Yay! Your laptop came! I love those pixels, they are so cute!
Taking care of someone else’s child is very selfless. I commend you. It’s hard enough for a young person these days to take care of themselves and their own children. Like I said, children are a blessing. The most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life is be my son’s mother.
I plan on posting pics up soon, and thank you. ;P The pixels were pretty complicated. I worked on them for quite awhile to get them just right. I’m pretty happy with the result. I’m trying to come up with something more challenging though.. that is actually “possible” for me to make, since I’m a newb at it. lol.
I’ve waited so long for a laptop… and I absolutely LOVE it. Don’t be jealous!! You’ll get one eventually. Trust me, I’ve been wanting one for years and years. ;p
Thanks. The remote works with the media center. You can play dvds, music, or record stuff. You can also turn the computer on and off with it. It’s so tiny.. almost as flat as a credit card and it fits right into this slot on the side of the lappy. It’s really cool.
heh, sounds like it was a very exciting day for you; congratulations on the laptop and the car!
i guess i’m not very updated with the times, i didn’t know laptops came with remote controls. that’s cool, it’s for the media, right?
i used to pixel a little, and i remember it taking quite a long time. and afterwards, i think i would just see everything in pixels, haha. i always think pixels are adorable, remember when they were super trendy? anyway, yours are great, i especially love the sundaes!
Hey there! Hmm…what kind of laptop did you get? A remote sounds cool! I love the pixels! Definitely doesn’t look like your first time doing it; they are spectacular! Hmm…I hope your car is fixed this time, too! That sucks so bad…our old car was just like that. Anyways, take care!
Thanks! I didn’t know that laptops came with remotes either, so don’t feel left out. lol.. I was surprised to see it because I didn’t know that it came with it.
I got an hp.. and yeah the remote is cool. I hope my car is fixed, too. It’s really a pain in the ass. lol ;/
YAY for your laptop! Show pictures? Hehe. Computers are great pretty things. Sheesh I hope your car really is fixed this time cause that’s just annoying. Though if not you might want to try another mechanic in case this one isn’t doing his job. My hubby’s family found out after multiple supposed oil changes that the oil was never changed, some people are just really corrupt. And in answer to your question, our neighbor says we’re not technically within city limits so that’s why we can shoot off all we want. And they were going off all around everywhere so it’s gotta be true heh.
I’m going to post up some pics of the lappy this coming week. The mechanic that worked on my car seems like a decent guy.. and I dunno.. he hasn’t been charging me for the work the last 4 times it’s been in, cause it’s under warranty. So, we’ll see.
Did you hear about that fireworks tent that someone caught on fire? That’s so crazy, fireworks were going everywhere. Glad you had a safe and happy 4th though.. and lucky you aren’t in the city limits. The laws about fireworks suck!
Hey Angela! That’s good to hear, you getting a really better laptop than before
Wish I can have mine as well hehe
Have a great week ahead!
Wow! For a first time pixeler those are pretty impressive!
Gosh, I really need a laptop! I’m tired of my desktop, which is very old and tired and I miss the mobility of a laptop :/
I hope your car is fixed for real now, it must be really frustrating to have it fixed all the time…
I was not aware that laptops had remotes. I can’t even imagine what a remote for it would be for.
im mad jealous of your pixeling skills. I can;t pixel at all. Makes me real sad.
Oh that’s got to be nice having a remote. I’m not sure what controls are on there but still a good thing to have. Oh and I have a similar situation with my car so I know how you feel there. It’s not fair that if the place screws up they look at you stupid. I hope you have better luck than I do in this department. And those are nice pixelations. ^_^
Hey there…hmm, just to tell you about the “him” on my blog.
He’s basically an ex boyfriend, just not official.
I try to deal with it the best I can. I mean, at first I wouldn’t eat and I would just bawl my eyes out. But after a while that just gets old and childish.
Some days are better than others…it’s getting better, you know? Been like 4 months since he left.
