There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Photo Updates
Just a few things to update via photos. Last Friday my Romance Bedding set arrived. My mom got it for me as a birthday present and I ordered it from an ebay seller since it was really cheap there. It arrived just perfect and exactly as described but...it's really different from what I was expecting. It's not bad, it's just not what I thought it was going to be. The colors online are entirely different from in person. And I can't blame the seller since the picture on the packaging is the same as what I've seen online. She didn't misrepresent it or anything, it's just wholly different from the official pictures from the company.   The catalog image and the one on the packaging is on the left. The real colors are on the right. I was expecting a little more golden color but it's actually this really reddish/orange sort of color.  Mika starting attacking the beading on it immediately. I do like it. I just wish I would have had a better idea of the color. It's just much darker then I was anticipating. Still though, it's extremely rich looking. (Should be, it has hand-embroidery, beading and materials like velvet and organza and retailed originally for around $300.) It just looks more...like Moroccan then what I was expecting. I also did another quilling project. This was my third attempt. It's much more complicated then the first two which were single flowers. I'm discovering however, that it's nearly impossible to photograph it well or properly. I did this one on a patterned paper and I think I'll use it on a card or something. I want to work on a project on a picture frame mat next for my mom for Mother's Day.  It's really fun though. This one took me about, oh...maybe an hour, hour and a half to do. It's not hard really, just small detail work. Each part of each flower and each leaf is a seperate piece. So on this one for example, it's 37 seperately made pieces not including the vines. Then they're all laid out - the hardest part actually! - and assembled to make one, cohesive image. I started a new page with my quilling work so far including close-ups of this third project. You can find it here. Anyway, that's it for now. Just wanted to get some photos uploaded. Don't feel like writing another depressing entry about my continuing migraine issues so I won't. Out for now.
