forsaken

I respect your opinion, but I do have issue with what you say. Firstly, I'm not quite sure where you're going with the comment that 'it's like posting work after coming up with the idea'. What do you do? Post work before you've come up with an idea? Your analogy isn't helpful either. You seem to place heavy weighting on the coding element, but seem to belittle the graphical aspect. I agree that both are integral towards an operational blog. However, in my description of the design (I note here however that you may have rightfully not visited the link, and that's not your fault or concern) I mentioned that I was focussed on the graphical aspect. The idea was to create, graphically, what the blog would look like. The challenge was graphical design, not operational design. Further, there is nothing inherently difficult in 'coding' that blog. If I were to make it operational, I wouldn't be doing anything fancy with the codes because it would be for personal use. I respect that coding is an integral element, and am continually amazed at the ability of coders to bring to life the vision of designers. This I do not dispute. Thanks. :) Although as you probably already know having read the above, it is sadly uncoded!

Hey guys. How's it been? It's been at least a year since I've been on this forum, and probably even longer since I've posted any artwork. It probably has to be said that anything I posted back in the day was crap, and I'm glad that they've been lost in the annals of inter-web time. :P It's a long story for why I haven't been active. But that's not why you're here. Nor do you care. ;) Below is a blog design I created. It was a heap of fun to make. It's missing a scroll bar and other miscellaneous things because I didn't actually want to write blogs - just make the layout for fun. :) The parchment was hell to do, but also the most enjoyable! For more information about it visit the link. It has info on stock used for instance. Enjoy. :) Requiem . Blog Design

Summer/Spring/Autumn: Knee-length shorts of varying cuts/colours. T-shirt. Thongs. Standard look. Winter: Jeans. T-shirt. Jacket/Jumper (Hoodies generally). Scarf occasionally. Shoes. Bam, there you have it: Me.

She knows. She loves the attention he gives her. She loves the attention you give her if you get jealous. Simplest solution if you're looking for one? Just don't even mention it. Ie. when she said he sends her more smses a day than you, just shrug it off and don't give her the time of day. Hell - spend more time with your friends and make as if you don't care that she's wasting her time on some other guy for a bit of attention.

Guess I'm most prominently known as the gamer. 'S about it.

If she's cute, come up and small talk! with her. Read her body language and if she seems interested in you, gradually! move up to personal topics. Just be cool, confident and fun. Yesterday was lame. The girl that was supposed to turn up didn't, as my mate scared her be saying that I thought she was hot because I saw her photo on Bebo, just so that she would get her to go with the bus stop with her. So, that was depressing. I still have the whole summer to meet her though. It sounds like you let your mates walk all over you. If you like her, meet up wit her. If you don't - don't. Who your mates want you to go out with means nothing if you the person they want you to go out with means nothing to you.

Day I turned 18 I raged because it meant hsc exams were edging closer and I knew I was mcscrooged.

We already only get to hang out on weekends due to our schedules going back to normal so we won't be seeing a whole lot of each other like we were until Xmas break or when school ends. On top of that her phone is broken so texting is basically out the window unless she's on AIM and texts me through that. But on to the problem at hand: We hung out, talked, and got it all figured out and this is how it went.. So my girlfriend and him had been talking about the three of us and her sister all getting together to drink sometime and he asked my girl if I knew anything about what they were talking about. Of course I didn't and she told him just that. So he turned it into a cruel joke.. My girl unloaded on me as far as what was on her mind and none of it really surprised me. But it wasn't long after she went to bed that her friend started texting me and asked me not to tell her what he was about to say. I told him I wouldn't as I wanted to know what was so important. So he tells me about my girl wanting to drink with him and how he said no and whatnot. Along with that he piled on a bunch of stuff about her cheating on guys before and the likes. So I turned to the bottle and ended up sending her a message. In the morning things were off to a bad start with her but as the day progressed I finally told her the one thing I promised I wouldn't. Then suddenly she was much less upset with me and far more angry at her friend. She explained to me the bit about her wanting all 4 of us to drink together and it seemed like just a misunderstanding. But wait, over the course of the night it got even better.. So we were hanging out and having a great time. We weren't letting it bother us and ruin our night. So I get home afterwards and I get a text from her friend basically saying he was just joking last night about everything he said which is why I wasn't supposed to tell my girlfriend. So I got piss drunk and spilled my guts to my girl's sister, wrote a message I shouldn't have, sent that message, made my girl mad at me and ruined her morning. All because he wanted to "get a rise out of me". Well let's just say my girl and her sister are both furious about this. They both considered him a close friend but don't know how much they can trust him anymore and all that jazz. Words cannot describe how much of a .. piece of wood .. that guy is.

I don't see how your point is relevant to whether or not one should have sex before or after marriage. Somehow you have weighted sex after marriage as having some particularly greater level of satisfaction than sex before marriage. I think the logical argument to draw out of what you have offered is that sex should be undertaken by two individuals only if they know each other well enough. This point, I stress, is INDIVIDUAL of whether or not one is married. Merely because one is marrying someone does not signify that they know their partner well.

By that logic you keep moderation at a moderation and therefore do something insane instead I'm sorry but that makes zero logical sense whatsoever. :P Most important lesson I've ever learnt? I don't know. Maybe to always think before I say something.

Well, I'm not one to scoff at you for having a relationship when you're 15. Personally I met my girlfriend when we were 15 and I'm still with her (I'm 19 now). I believe it's possible for 15 year olds to be in love, but it's a different love to when you're older. I say this from experience because I can adamantly attest to the fact that I was in love then, but that now I'm experiencing a much more mature depth of feeling. But I digress. My girlfriend has had crushes/liked other guys throughout the duration of our relationship. However, I can't say that she has done anything similar to what your's has (or if she has, I don't know about it ;)). What I want to know is: Have you guys talked it through? Have you asked her what she's going to do about it? (Because you said she still liked him). Is she even going to do anything about it? I have to stress this point: COMMUNICATE. It doesn't matter if she's cried for a day and is contrite but nothing changes. You need to talk to her and if you two really care about the relationship, work out an action plan or a line of attack to solve or mediate this problem. If you try this, and she isn't willing to co-operate and brainstorm with you about possible ways of fixing it, then I'd suggest jumping ship. At this point, she may just want to get back with you for a variety of uncouth reasons, for instance: She doesn't want to be the one who gets dumped. She's insecure and wants the safety net offered by you, the boyfriend. Good luck. Oh, and smash your friend (I'm assuming) who was on the phone with her. I know none of my friends would do anything like that with my gf because they know I'd kill them.

Okay Kaphias you win. No really, you do. You can't possibly beat that view. It wins, hands down. Or up. Or no hands at all. Either way, it wins. That is one delectable backdrop you have there.

Eat more and lift weights. I'm not exactly weak lol.I've been in NCC for a while,though yeah I don't get to participate in PT any more...But still,I've been working out.I'm guessing my frame can't take much more in terms of size,but 37kg is like skeletal... As with eat more...I can't take veggies for some reason but otherwise I have a reasonably healthy diet... So I'm either wierd or have a tapeworm tbh. How tall are you dragoonson? From the tone of your post, I'm assuming that you're around average height but only weigh 37kgs, which is a real problem (especially if you're male, which I'm assuming you are). You definitely need to put on some weight, and as many people suggested eating appropriately in concert with exercising properly will most likely do the trick, unless you suffer from some sort of condition. From my experience I see a lot attention and focus being placed in the general media around weight loss, but not very much focus on weight gain. This is not to say that I think weight loss is an unworthy cause, rather that the latter is often disregarded. Personally I can sympathise with your situation dragoonson (perhaps not to the same extent as you however) as I used to weigh 60 kg a year ago, at a height of 175 cm. Although my BMI was ~19.5 and was still considered within the healthy range, my body was quite skinny and I was reknowned for hurting people on the sporting field due to my boniness etc. However, I decided around Sept./Oct. last year that I was going to do something about this, which amounted to lifting weights and eating better/healthier and at more regular intervals. As of today, I weigh 72 kgs and my BMI is a nice 23.5. A very important aspect in weight gain and loss I believe is the mental state: you have to want it, and you have to pursue it. If you don't see immediate gains or improvements, it doesn't mean it isn't working. Also, it is irrelevant; what is more important than maintaining a healthy lifestyle? At the end of the day, I highly doubt anyone will not make any progression towards their goals so as long as they take a healthy, sustainable approach towards it. Your body will reward you for your effort.

I've pretty much read most of the books that have been listed here, and I'm surprised and a little bit indignant that one of my favourite books of all-time has not been mentioned. I encourage all of you out there who purport to have a love of good books to read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It is by far one of the best books I have ever read, period.

Omg, like two other people already mentioned: Ghost writer & Scooby Doo! I wonder if anyone else watched Evangelion and Ninja Robots? Possibly two of my favourite animes that were running during the 90's on normal TV and cartoon network!
