[FONT=Palatino Linotype] [SIZE=2] [COLOR=INDIGO] I really like the color scheme you've got going. The orange is, aside from the best color EVER, very good with the black. the shape of the "horde" is good as it draws the viewer directly to the middle of the page. Very nice effect. However, I also think that the swords are out of place. Cartoonish, yes, but they also ruin the horde's effect on the page. They are the focal point, but they aren't well done and they don't really make sense. I think the poster would be better off if you simply took them out and left the space blank. Then the words in the black would become the focal point. This would emphasize your point and probably be more the look you were going for.[/FONT][/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][size=2][color=indigo] Very nice. It reminds me of something postmodern. Probably because I'm working on a project themed around Postmodernism, but nonetheless. Oh, this also makes me feel the need to say that the reason we see the words "style" and "sex" is because our mind recognizes the shapes, not the letters. You distorted the word "style," right? We probably see sex because being humans, when one sees the "s" shape and the "e" shape togeather that's the first thing that comes to mind. Dorkily- Carrie[/font][/size][/color]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2][COLOR=Indigo] Laura!! (This is Carrie ^_^) Anyway, about the banners (the avatars are great!). Your white space is awesome! I love that you don't feel the need to fill it all. It gives an awesome effect. I think that the banners are a bit too centered though. The concept, type, and image are great, but the symetry throws it off a bit. On the Earl one, move him to the left, I think. As for the Pink Sock, maybe put the image far to the right and have all the text in a line? Just play a bit with them, not focusing so much on symetry. Cheers! Carrie[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2][COLOR=Indigo] I like it a lot, especially the purple. About the typeface: maybe make it less of a display font, less ornate. It would get the point across very well if it were simpler. The white font at the bottom of the page is out of place also.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2][COLOR=Indigo]I like your choice of color a lot, and the affect with the sword is stellar. It really takes the eye to the figure. The background does need work though. I like the line that his left arm (right to the viewer) creates. I'd do something with that line; emphasize or repeat it in the rest of the piece. As for color: nothing too bright, but I don't think that your choice of grey is working either. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOrange] My name is Carrie, so when I was younger I just HAD to read the book and see the movie. It's an intriguing thought, the telekinesis. This little obsession, of course, lead to other King novels. I havn't read any in a while; I didn't read all to begin with. The subjects always made me think for a while after I finish the book. When I found my mind wandering, I would be thinking of the book and what it would be like if it were real. To me, this quaility makes the books really good and worthwhile to read.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkOrange] [SIZE=1] [FONT=Trebuchet MS] I'm not all that excited about the actualy Prom part of prom. We have the big shin-dig at festival hall Sara was talking about. I am, however, excited about what I'm gonna wear. I have this whole plan with a shin length, black dress, pearls, and little gloves. I have no idea why I'm so excited about it, but I'm really looking forward to dressing up. Maybe because I never do. Or it could just be because I have the subconcious urge to be a normal teenager. (take that psych. class!) I probably won't have a date, and I'll end up people watching the whole time, but It'll be fun. My friends have also somehow gotten me to help plan a prom dance at my school. We go to Post-Prom, but never have a dance because the school is so small that we can't afford it. My friends want to ax the Dj and just play mixed CDs. Like I said, I really don't know why/how I'm the one planning this.[/font] [/size] [/color]

[color=darkorange] [size=1] Currently I love the Survivor All Stars, but only because I'm home every thuresday babysitting my little brother. I never really got into the whole reality TV thing, but I think survivor and Queer Eye are great. The Bachlor and Blind Date and shows like that are just stupid if you ask me. My Big Fat ..Fiance is just cruel and Fear Factor is gross and disgusting. I did watch Factor when it came out, but quit after the grossness started, I just couldn't watch it. It makes me gag. Oh, and The Extreme Makeover show, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (I think that's the name. It's the one where they do the houses.) are real cool cuz they help people who really deserve and need it.[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] My first job was at a green house when I was fifteen. $5.15/hour, 30 hours a week. ick. Never work at a greenhouse unless you like sweating, repotting greass, and picking the mold off Geraniums. Thats all I did the whole summer, besides make the other girl, who would read while watering, mad. It was icky. I am now "happily" employed at a pizza place where I make 6 bucks an hour. Its ok, better than the green house, but I could do better. It'll last me til' college anyway.[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] No luck on the toothpick bit, but I did have to make a pasta bridge last year in physics class. Alas, I did not win, but the bridge was sprifferific. [url]http://www.lhsar.org/classes/science/physics/index.html[/url] Mine is the one at the top left, or I'm the one in the bright orange. I think you could probably do the same thing with tooth picks. The design impresses teachers It looks like you put a lot of work into it![/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] Scarily accurate. Actually, just recently, I've stopped "sugar coating people's faults." Innn-teresting. Thank You! *Goes off to ponder whether she believes this kind of thing*[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] Have at it: November 2, 1985 -thankies![/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] My most harrowing moment of the holidays: Huh, just one? My cousin's baby momma came ova' fo' Chrismas dinna' (you get the picture). We had Christmas at our house, so of course we were obligated to have gifts for my cousin's son and baby momma. I was nominated to go find these gifts. On Christmas Day. Hell. On. Earth. Then I had to spend a Christmas dinner trying not to offend these people I didn't know. List of things not to say: marriage, illigitament, jail, ring, exc. Hell. On. Earth.[/size] [/color]

[color=orange] [size=1] My name is Carrie. My friend started to call me care, but he spelled it Carr in his emails. There ya go. ~_-[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] I just went to see Big Fish yesterday. (Yes, with Sara. Our countdown was very short.) I thought it was funny. I loved the colors, and the all around style of the movie, but it did dissapoint me a bit. It was over two hours long, but it really didn't need to be. Good long movies make you loose track of time; you don't notice that two hours have passed while you were watching. Big Fish was very drawn out and dragging in parts. It was an awesome story, and the concept, colors, and characters were outstanding, an all around good movie. but just kind of slow.[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] Thank you so much. I shall enjoy it![/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] Oh! Do me! My name is Carrie. Pronounced like the action: I will [b] carry[/b] that.[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] Gee, Sara does that mean you aren't shunning me anymore? Seeing as I 'm one of those coolest drama people. I would be one of those that Sara "forced" to join drama. I was terrified to be in a play, but I tried it. It wasn't to bad. Nothing I would dedicate my life to, but fun none-the-less. Drama's cool and I'm ok at it, but it's just not my favorite.[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] I love the names November Reagen (girl) or Cole Jacob (boy). I'm not sure why, but I've had those picked out for a few years. I like that they are pretty original, but not too wierd. I had another girl's name picked out, but I can't remember it at the moment, must not've been that good. ^^[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] I know about parental problems. A lot about parental problems. I have never lived in a happy home. My parents always fight, and I seem to get in the middle of it. Nothing I do can please my dad, and my mom won't let me grow up. I could elaborate, but I don't want to, just understand that I KNOW about family problems. So, is the problem that your parent's won't let you grow up? That could be because you are the youngest. I had that same thing happen to me except I'm the oldest, so their excuse was, "We are just figuring things out." I had my temporary lisence for a year and a half before I got my drivers licence. I'm 18 and they still make me call before I do anything. I still have a midnight or earlier cerfew. I'm not exactly how to solve the problem, or else I would've done it by now. But you can show them you're responsible. I've gained bits of freedom by having the busiest schedule known to man, staying on top of school work and holding a part time job. As for the letter, I don't know what to tell ya. It seems a bit rotten in the state of Dallas.(excuse my pun) Maybe she got the letter the day before you got home, or maybe it made her feel uncomfortable or guilty when she read it, so she didn't bring it up. I've painted several paintings for my dad. He says he loves them, yet they stay in a box, in the basement. Now, if he loves them so much, why do they stay hidden? I don't know. I'm sorry about the rambling. I wish you good luck[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] I've only seen Degrassi once, and frankly, that was enough. It seemed really over-dramatic to me. I don't know, but normal "teen life" for me doesn't involve multiple girlfriends or suicides. Oh, also, If it was real "teen life" then those normal teens wouldn't be so darn perfect looking.[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] My aunt gave me the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack for Christmas.(Yes, yes, I am eternally grateful.) It is one of the most awesome CDs I've listened to in a long while. It's just so powerful. I've been listening to it for two days straight. It occured to me that I would probably like other soundtracks as well. Any suggestions? (Besides [i] Lord of the Rings[/i]. People keep telling me I need that one.)[/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] *grumbles profusely concerning [i] Chocolate Factory[/i] remakes* Although, if it's Burton, It could be fun, but it still could kill one of the best, classic, screwy, movies of all time. Johnny Depp could be...interesting...as Willy Wonka, and I thank God repeatedly that Jim Carrey didn't get that part. Big Fish looks AWESOME. I can't wait for it to come out here. I should start a countdown. One of my friends had a countdown until [i] Lord of the Rings[/i] came out. I could be equally annoying with Big Fish. In fact, I am looking forward to this movie a heck of a lot more than [i] Lord of the Rings[/i]![/size] [/color]

[color=tomato] [size=1] This afternoon, I decided to dye my hair from the highlighted blonde with really long (dark blonde)roots it was to a light brown. BIG MISTAKE It turned orange. Now I like orange, obviously, but I was not going for hair the same shade as my signature. I look like a pumpkin spat me back up. I don't think I can wear black. (That is going to be an issue) Then I would look like halloween threw up all over me. And that's enough ranting. Now, can anyone offer comfort in their own horror hair stories?[/size] [/color]
