Alive in CO

I feel like I haven’t wanted to be on the computer much, or when I’m on the computer, I have no desire to be communicable. I’m still reading things though and I’m working on a new layout for this site. Heh, when aren’t I working on a new layout?

Krome has been encouraging for me over her site and I’ve decided I’m going to do what I’ve been wanting to do, seeing as I am still jobless and need to keep myself occupied that doesn’t require money. I will be opening another site as a subdomain to this site (remember, keeping things with as little expense as possible) called Shadowed Beauty. There I will be uploading tubes of my work for those wanting to use things in their own designs.

There will be free ones and then for those who choose to donate, they will have access to special items. All things except for the donation area will be linkware. If individuals wish to use the free ones without a link, then they’ll require to pay something like a buck to take the link off. I’ll be including different types of webgraphics (I love making seemless tiles for pattern backgrounds), avatars for use on other sites (these will be non-linkware), and I’m thinking I might add free layouts for those who use blogger and eventually wordpress. There will also be layouts for those who run general purpose sites and want to use interesting images.

The difference between mine and Krome’s Ill Dream is that I will only be providing things using my own images. Currently… lol … I’m trying not to copy you Krome ::whistles:: And I also haven’t much desire to do commission work as I kind of feel for this particular thing I do for fun and when the creative muse grabs me by the hair and drags me caveman style to the computer.

Anyways, beyond that, the step siblings went home on Saturday. My sweetheart called me early Sunday morning and reassured me that things were fine. He had a medical condition (now healed) and got sent home from Ranger School. He and his unit are at West Point training cadets on… what sounded like obstacle courses. He didn’t sound very happy and I wish I could of talked to him more. Joe is not one to have a private conversation in a van full of other soldiers.

I miss him. And being here at Mom’s feels frustrating. Granted, her and her husband are so helpful right now. During our trip though… which I’m going to continue writing about this week, she got Lithium Poisoning. I actually took her pills away from her when I saw how she was functioning. I don’t want to go into great depth about it now, but I will later when I describe more of the trip. Let’s just say she had to go to the ER and her level was a 1.4, which is above the safe zone for lithium for those who don’t know. She’s doing better now though.

I have pictures almost processed from our trip too. I’ve just have to upload them which will be a pain because I’m on a modem. Takes forever ::cries::

Well, these are just a few of the things on my mind. I’ll end for now because I’m itching to work continue work on that layout as well as start setting things up for Shadowed Beauty.

~~LOVE!!!~~
