Skye

I know I don't like Bush much - no, wait, at all - but this was a hard time for everyone, and I think he handled it very well. The actual falling of the buildings anyway. Those rescuers who survived and those who didn't, thank you. I remember, I was in 5th grade - the only way I know this is because where I went to school, only 5th graders were allowed to help with the morning announcements. We always did our broadcast on television, and it was a few minutes before start time so we turned on the TV. We watched the whole thing happen, staring at it like idiots. We just thought there was some strange movie on. It felt kind of...surreal. Like it wasn't really happening.

I made two: one with black border, one with black and white. If you want it nix the border, tell me. :)

@ Den: Of course you can use them, silly! Thanks, Kor. ^_^ I appreciate the comment. I'm still experimenting, so I'm not sure how to do everything yet.

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]OMG, Steph's sister is Reminisce! The banners are nice, however, the text is not that great. It needs a different color, mostly because the black is somewhat hidden with the backround. They're nice Steph, well, you just got back into it, so I shouldn't complain. But keep up the practice! I'm sure you can make one a lot better. ~.o[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Haha, Denisse isn't really my sister. I wish. She's so awesome. I know, I hate the text, and I couldn't find a color that really fit. I'm working on another set right now. VK is hard to work with cause the pictures are so busy. [b]EDIT:[/b] This is what I was working on. I've been spending too much time on icanhazcheezburger.com. I can tell.>.> [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26381&stc=1&d=1189289099[/img]

Okay, so it isn't [i]really[/i] a shop. I'm just back into making banners and such, and my dear sister - evil as she is ^_~ - asked me to design a banner/ava set for her using either NANA, Vampire Knight, or Peach Girl. I settled for the middle one. :) I have one avatar, and three banners. They all have the same picture, but the three banner's text varies. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26377&stc=1&d=1189286446[/img] I like this banner the best. It has no text and is simple and elegant. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26378&stc=1&d=1189286461[/img] This one is okay, because all it has is her username. I couldn't find a font I liked, or a place to put it without losing something in the picture. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26380&stc=1&d=1189286482[/img] Same goes for this one, which is my least favorite, but the one with her quote. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26379&stc=1&d=1189286472[/img] So, simple as they are, what do you think?

[size=1][b]Name:[/b] Raiyeesa (Real name unpronounceable in human tongue.) [b]Age:[/b] 35 [b]Species:[/b] Shapeshifter [b]Occupation:[/b] Bouncer/street rat (or cat. 0.o)/just?strange [b]Appearance:[/b] [center]Humanoid[/center] Height: 5'10" Tends to wear short flouncy skirts and skin-tight tops, with sandals. See attachment. [center]Animal[/center] Usually tranforms into cats of any sort, large or small. However, she usually only stays halfway transformed, in the shape of a centuar only with a cat's body. Very close to a sphinx. Makes her an effective bouncer. [b]Personality Flaws:[/b] Has momentary brain lapses where she acts like a kitten and makes really bad jokes. Switches between both ends of the Cynamatic spectrum, e.i. very Cynamatic and very Un-Cynamatic. [b]Specialty:[/b] Beating the living daylights out of people ? and sleeping with the ones with fetishes. [b]Reason for Living:[/b] Because she doesn?t see any reason not to. [b]In What Manner You Suffer from Story Line:[/b] Has serious lapses of judgement and ends up going home to sleep with an empathetic vampire, who ends up messing up her receptors and she finds pleasure in pain. Not only that, but every now and them she forgets to stop at half-human half-cat and turns into a full cat, half jag and half lion ? and then forgets how to turn back. I am still debating drawing her in her half-animal state, but I changed her from a were-thing to a shapeshifter.[/size]

[quote name='Reminisce'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="SandyBrown"]I know the feeling, but the only difference was the maker. About a year ago, my mother's husband tried to make hot chocolate. Using a spanish type of chocolate bar, milk and goodness knows what else. When he did it and poured it with milk...it was thick and tasteless. I tasted more the milk than the bar...worse hot chocolate experiance.[/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] I agree. That stuff is pretty much - pardon me - crap when liquid. It is waaay better than regular chocolate when eaten plain, though. I almost can't eat regular chocolate now because it's so good. Abuelita chocolate, right? It has all the spices in it - cinnamon, nutmeg, ect. - and tastes soooo good. *drools* Hot cider is good, too, especially when I'm sick and can't stand to smell milk or butter. Yeah, I know, toast is supposed to be good for you when you can't stomach much, but the smell makes me feel... *shudders* Whoo. Tangent. But I like both. Hey! Has anyone ever tried "wassail"? As my family makes it: Big pan on stove. Mix 1/3 large bottle apple juice, 1/3 carton of OJ, 1/3 cranberry juice, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg. ZOMG. Like, the best.

[quote name='Boo'][size=1]Hm, can somebody explain me what's up with the marshmallow thing? Never tried it out yet. What does a marshmallow do to alter your divine experience? :([/size][/QUOTE] It's actually kind of interesting. First, there are these tiny non-squishy marshmallows that come in instant-cocoa mix; I like them. Then there are mini-marshies (as I like to call them) that fit rather well in any mug, over the top of cocoa. They melt and make a kind of whipped-topping kind of thing when they melt. Then there are jumbo marshies that only melt on the outside, so you can dip them in the cocoa, suck of the outside, and dip again. At least, that's how I do it. ^_^

Now I want some. Damn you. Mine includes: Milk Choc. Syrup Heat in microwave in giant mug; use as little or as much syrup as you like. When done, remove and add: Whipped cream Nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon Mucho yum. Really good with chocolate biscotti and poki.

What happened to "I'm never creating another RPG"? I should update this within the next half hour. :) So, by one am my time. So, it should be up by the time you get up. Yeah. [b]EDIT:[/b] Or not. Grr. I was typing it and fell asleep. Now I can't remember where I was going with the stupid character. *sigh* Sorry.

Any specifics, like anything you want said on your banner or what?

Wow, thank you so much! These are awesome! You know I love you, right? Heh.

I just recently got a new nickname from my boyfriend. He is now calling me [b]Angel Berry[/b] - he says (and I quote, despite its sappiness) "you're sweet to taste and soothing to the soul." Can I get an "aw" chorus? *crickets*

Okay, so I realize I said I would disappear. And I did, for a while, but OB is just too addictive. ^_^; So I'm requesting a banner and avatar set to match what is currently in my signature. Avatar: Just picture. Banner: "...heart-shaped box of springs and wire." In one corner and "Steph" in the bottom corner. Thank you so very much to whoever does this for me. I have no specifics other than that, so play with it as you like. I really want to see your ideas.

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Nicknames, huh? Oh boy, I've gotten more in the last two years than my entire life. [b]Lady Bug[/b]: my mama's nickname for me. :) [b]Squiggles:[/b] a child nickname. Squirms and wiggles, squeels and giggles. [b]Babydoll, Angelface:[/b] my boyfriends nicknames for me. [b]Pouka:[/b] the nickname I have for my boyfriend after mischevious spirits and/or spirit-like dolls that are like safety blankets. o.o Strange. [b]Haru:[/b] short for Haruka, who was the Sailor Scout of Uranus, of the wind. My best friend Nikki calls me this. [b]Setsu:[/b] what I call Nikki. Short for Setsuna, Sailor Scout of Time. Heh. ^_^; I also call her Cam and she calls me Alex. A T*Witches thing. And everyone calls me [b]Stephy-chan[/b], real life and otherwise.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

All right! So I'm going through a "I Can Haz Cheezburger?" phase. Yes. Ahem. Anyway! Could someone take this picture and make it into a banner and avatar? On the banner, somewhere strategic, could you put "FDOWOOT"? ^_^ I know, maketh no sense. You shall see! >.> And just matching avatar, mayhap with Steph on it somewhere. Thankies!! (Oh, and FDOWBOOT is mine. Not Can Haz's. All though what FDOW - what it stands for - I'm not sure where it came from. I clueless.) [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26350&stc=1&d=1185928730[/img] Just... no braaaaaiiiinnnsss? Much

Hey dude, thanks for trying. >.< I already had one and used it. I'm going through a new phase... see new thread!!

[b]?You lookin? for me, babe??[/b] Ahri stepped out of the bathroom, towel wrapped tightly around her body. It felt so good to be able to take showers now with no risks. A life of running away had taken her modesty level to zero, but her friends were used to it. She toweled her long hair vigorously and gazed at the two, Vault getting ready to plug Shift into a ninjitsu program. She padded across the ship and looked over his shoulder. [b]?Ninjitsu, huh? Coolio.?[/b] Vault chuckled. ?[b]You?re gonna catch cold, Ahri.?[/b] She stuck her tongue out at him. [b]?Will not. By the by, you were speaking of Gabriel? Oh, I went into the Matrix to check out this pie eating contest in Japan.?[/b] Ahri grinned a toothy smile at the boys matched groan. Switch shook his head. ?[b]You eat enough to put a sumo to shame.?[/b] Ahri gave a look of mock hurt and stalked off to get dressed. Sliding the door to her room on [I]The Renegade[/I] shut, she heard, [b]?Keep an eye out. I heard someone?s looking for her.?[/b] Frowning, she slipped into the comfortable, easy trousers and huge T-shirt, then flopped down on her mat to take a nap. OOC: I have absolutely no idea. >.< I hope to post again tonight, but I have school tomorrow, so I might not. See if one of you can carry this until Ahri?s nap ends? I will involve her by the end of the week.

;-; I am beginning to doubt my shmexahness... T_T Matt, you're adorable. ^^ And yes, I am strange. Here is proof... [b]Before Fall Out Boy...[/b] [img]http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/brierlotus91/Me/steph03.jpg[/img] [b]...After Fall Out Boy!

And I agree with Sandy. Sojio is a tad disturbing. Which is cool! *hides from sword*

[quote name='Jeremiah'] Future name changes? I'm not ruling that out. 2K7 Digital Boy is challenging my name-change throne![/QUOTE] I challenge your [b]12[/b] with my [b]17[/b]! >:-/

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]I don't know why you're even considering the possibility. Everyone knows there are no girls on the internet.[/color][/QUOTE] ;-; That makes me feel unloved. I had new pictures! I had to cut my hair recently due to some unpleasantries, but I think it looks cute short. My dad says it makes me look older, to which I replied "Oh good, it's about time I stopped looking like a freshman." (I'm a junior, for those of you who are clueless.) So I took a picture of one with headband and one without. The second one the flash is off cause I took one with and it looked horrible... >.<

>.< I'm here! I've been extremely busy lately and - as DB said, a tad emotional - but I'm doing better now. I want to continue, I do, I do! School starts back in a week, though, so I'm rushing around getting things done. If you don't mind, I would love to be "led around" for a little bit longer until I get this all figured out. I will try to make a post, but I have no idea what's going on even though I've been reading. It may just be a combination of my brother being gone for two weeks, Josh's death, my mom being pregnant and trying to get ready to go back to school, but I'm all frazzled out. -_-' But I still want to play! If someone could help me get involved to where I know what's going on, I would greatly appreciate it! Steph

[color=blue]Well, as most of you know, my username is my real name. ^_^ I'd been debating for a WHILE to do this, or just to stick with Skye - which is what everyone thought was my real name for a looong time. I still .< Sailor Moon influenced. That one got banned by The Harlequin. The second was first GuardianStorm, then callmegoddess04, another T*Witches influence. I?ve probably had names I don?t remember. o_O On other sites I usually go by Skye, or variations on the names I've had here. My Gaia Online name is Caoimhe Faelan, which means beautiful little wolf. Before that it was BrierLotus. Don't ask, cause I don't know.[/color]
