No. She's not rich, but he has a pretty good job, so they're at least comfortable. As for what I want for Christmas, not really anything. I'm at the age where if I want something, I go get it myself. It would be nice to have my voice back and for a few members in my family to start feeling better. My mom, youngest brother, and my dad are all a bit under the weather, so I hope that they start feeling better soon. What do you want for Christmas? Have I asked you that yet? I must have forgotten if I did... So tell me what you want! I like hearing stuff like that. If you do ever climb to the top of Mt. Everest for real, make sure you bundle up, because severe frostbite is not awesome. Poor guy... You don't do your own renders? Heh... Neither do I. It's a bit time consuming to cut out what you need, huh? Even when I do, I still have problems, because there are little white jagged edges sometimes. I fill those in by hand. You like bwue? I never would have guessed. You only have it EVERYWHERE in your profile page! Bwue is nice though. It's a peaceful color, I think.
The question is: is his girlfriend rich? xD Wait, what do you want for Christmas, if anything at all? Ahahaha, there's an OST with the same name? xD Nurd. =3 They do seem a bit believable, though, so I guess it's up to me to believe it or not. But... if I ever write anything about those presumably fake memories and they end up being fake, I'm done for. xD "And when I was three, I climbed to the top of Mt. Everest with my family..." I think that's one of the reasons why I chose to do that character. =P Their chant is that one, with my name. And also, since she has a good design. I know who I'm going to do next, but finding the actual render of her is impossible. I've searched forever. She's suppose to be an angel. *takes tissue* *sniffles* At least it's bwue, right? I like bwue. =D
I haven't heard any word about him coming home then. He wasn't here for Christmas last year either. He did come by on his birthday, but that's in May... As for a gift, HA!!! He's as poor as I am! I wouldn't want him spending money on a gift for me when he has a girlfriend and her kids to help take care of. Fragments of memories? THAT REMINDS ME OF A SONG! I'm such a nerd. That's why I'm here I guess. As for the imaginary memories, maybe they ARE real, and your parents and siblings are just messing with your head. Just a thought I had. Yes, I noticed your name when I was typing up the VM, and I was like "HEY! It's FATE!!!" Nice. XD That's a good size for it. I really don't know what else to say, since you already have the files merged. Don't cry *hands Fate tissue*. It's still a nice banner.
What about Christmas? Surely he'll come home then? I mean, it [i]is[i/] a huge holiday. Who knows, he might even remember to bring you a huuuuuugggggge gift! =D Haha, I actually don't recall them much at all. Everything from when I was four and under seems really vague to me. Sometimes I get fragments of memories and I ask my parents or siblings if they're real or not, and most of the time, it's real. But I do get those strange imaginary memories, too. Oo I was going to point out that my name is in there, too. xD And... NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! I opened up my file to edit it some more, but the file was the one that had already been merged! ='[ I was going to move the position of the incantation, but now it's impossible, since I'm not good at manipulating things and make them look like they fit together. As for its size, I just posted for you the size that I worked with. It was for close inspection. ;] I do plan to resize it, as well as making a tiny outline of it transparent to add some glow. Like this: I cna't believe I accidentally overwrote my layer-ful file, though. I'm going to cry...
He came home not that long ago, like maybe two months ago, I guess (my days just run into one another now). He was supposed to be home for Thanksgiving, but he didn't show. I don't know what happened with that plan. Wow... Eight years? That's a long time. And you're still young, so you probably didn't remember them too well, but then again, you're a smart lad, so you probably remembered them like you just saw them yesterday. As for your banner, I like that you got an ice theme going on. It goes with the words "seal mine enemy's fate with ice". That's pretty cool. (no pun intended...) I probably would have lowered the "Uphold the ancient pact" phrase a bit closer to the second phrase, because it's sort of getting lost in the background design. After I did that, I would put some sort of something in the upper left portion, just so it didn't look so empty. Your call on what it is though. I'm not familiar with the character or the game. Also, it's a bit large. I would scale down the overall banner. One more thing: The second phrase sort of blends a bit with the background and it's a bit hard to read the word "ice". I had to squint and concentrate to make it out.
Oh, phooie. =P Oh? How long has your brother been away for? I've got cousins that I haven't seen in eight years, but I saw them last summer. It was a great reunion, and they were all so nice. =] Thanks! =D And hey, I never intended for you to get there, black line. =P I guess I forgot to erase that part and make it transparent. xD It's a valkyrie, you know, from NORSE Mythology. ;] Oh, and I made another one that's in a rectangle. It's quite... bright, so say the least. Oo The character is also from the same game as the last two banners. Here it is, tell me what you think:
Success! THE DAY IS MINE TREBEK!!! I am... I hope he comes back soon, and not only to hook up my PS3 and Wii to the internets. Meh... I just miss the dude. I like this new one! SO VERY COLORFUL! It makes me happy to look at it. The black running along the bottom looks to me a bit out of place, and it also makes my eyes focus on it, because that's what black does. It's a very attention-grabbing element in design. I would tone it down or make it a different color. I like her pose. Really? I like what you've been doing without the rectangle, but I agree it's a bit easier when you have some borders to work with.
Actually, now that I think about it... I think for the meantime, I'm going to change my style to the rectangle thing, or numerous reasons. I can fit in a lot more effects and not have it just looked piled up, it looks great with flow, and there are some other ones. But let's see how this turns out. I'm not to the point where everything that can be included in a rectangle, I can include in a no-background banner yet. >___<
Oh, em gee! It's a cheesecake! =O Oh... You're good at this bribing thing, you know. << I give. I'll credit you, but the cheesecake is mine. =D That's weird. It worked perfectly for me. Pray for your brother's swift return, then, because online shopping is a godsend. =P It's all luck, to be honest. xD I just look for good vectors that I can use. Usually, they're vines and floral stuff. Oh, yeah, I made something else. It looks dull on TFF Light, but it's shiny on a dark skin. Here it is: I liked the one yesterday better, but I'll settle for this one, too. =P
Damn that copyright symbol... IT MOCKS ME!!! I have nothing to bribe you with.... Except for.... CHEESECAKES!!! YOUR ONE WEAKNESS!!! MWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, great... Now I want some cheesecake... I tried that, and I also tried going online for a bit of help as well. I am not having any luck... Computers hate me. Hopefully when/if my older brother comes back home, he can help me out. I have no idea when that will be though. I still have problems coming up with a beginning design and a theme. At least it looks like you do well in that department.
If you bribe me, I just might credit you. ;] Otherwise... nuuu, no credit for you. Fate's Totally Awesome Journal that is so much better than Dodie's is now officially copyrighted to Fate. © That's strange. All you need is to have it scan for your access point and then type in your password and such. The PSN store is really fun, so you should try it. =D So much stuff to buy and download. Are you kidding? xD I got so lost after putting those lightning bolts. It took me two days to put on finishing touches. ='
"All Those Other Clichéd Titles Have Been Taken." ROFL! I love it! Hahaha! That's a good one! Oh and if you DO decide to name it Fate's Totally Awesome Journal that is so much better than Dodie's, I want credit for the title, sir. I have a PSP, but I haven't used it to explore the internet. I have a bit of trouble when it comes to stuff like that, because it won't register that I have an internet connection. Same thing happens to my Wii and PS3. It's sort of frustrating, because I would love to get some stuff from the Wii shop channel, and also set up a PSN ID. That would be sweet! I haven't made a banner in a long time... I may have to do one, just to make sure I still can. I sometimes get a creative block, where I don't know what to do with a banner. It seems that you and VMM don't have that problem... *jealous*
Heh, yours was hard to guess, since I hadn't known your style then. =P But I figured it out by process of elimination. xD Yeah, I can't stand invisible mode. =P It's hard when I want to contact them but have no clue whether they're online or not, depending on the urgency of my message. I tried it once, though, and your own online symbol becomes orange. <333 If I still remember that name when I do decide to make one, that's going to be the title! xD Do you know what I once named an introductory thread? Huh? I called it... "All Those Other Clichéd Titles Have Been Taken." xD Oh, you'll see my replying to a bunch of different threads. But there's a reason behind that. You see, I like to browse the forum on my PSP a lot, and since it loads so slowly, I always have to Cancel the loading for things to show up. But often times, it stops in the middle of a thread. So I have to click the reply button and read the little section with only the text at the bottom instead. =P
Oh so you KNEW which one was mine as well, even though I didn't tell anyone about my entry into the contest? You are a clever, clever lad. You should be a detective or something, because you can figure stuff out with little to no evidence. I personally wouldn't block anyone from posting VMs, because I like talking to people and I like seeing that I have a message from someone. I also don't understand why people want to be invisible as well. It's like they don't want people to know they're here or something. If you made a journal, I would definately read it. I'd like to know what it's like to live a day in the life of Fatey-kins, or the Fate-inator, or just plain ol' Fate. It would be interesting to see what you decide to name your journal as well. Whatever you decide to call it, it won't beat "Dodie's Deep Thoughts, and Other Imaginary Things"! Well, unless you call it "Fate's Totally Awesome Journal that is so much better than Dodie's", because a lot of people believe everything they see. Speaking of your name, I saw you replying to the Change your Username thread a couple of times not too long ago, but I guess you changed your mind, because your post didn't show up.
Hahaha, I have a good memory, you know. (But that totally contradicts what I just said about my banner thread. xD) You know why, though? I can be much more creative with banners because of their size. Avatars are too small, you see. But even so, my avatar is seen more because I post VMs more than posts. =P Yeah, I think so. That option is possible; I saw it once. But I never bothered. Though I highly doubt it's the reason, I wonder if people whom a user blocks can still view their profile? Hopefully~ *clasps hand and prays* But just so you know, on the last contest, I correctly guessed whom all the banners belonged to considering the style used. xD You know, I always wanted to make a Journal, but something always manages to hold me back on that. Maybe some other time I will.
