Neon Christmas Freebie
:D Yay! New freebie! And this one is 100% made by me! Well... I got a picture of solid purple off of the computer one day, and made a cool effect on it with BeFunky, then put snowflake stickers on it with a website I forget, and then I decided it was boring so I put the Neon effect on it using FotoFlexer! Thanks Goldenstream for directing me to that website! *Hug*
Enjoy! :)
Enjoy! :)

Turn Back Time
Could it really be so close to Christmas?
It was only yesterday, in June, I was sauntering through the woods with my little camera, snapping away pointless pictures of the forest and stream behind my old house, wasn't it? It can't have been three months since I moved, can it? Really, where has the year gone?
I want to turn back time.
I want to rewind a little bit, and stay in the moment. Before I moved. Before my personal Great Depression (literally). Before my 10th birthday, when I suddenly realized that life wasn't perfect. To the the days my old, worn collection of magazines read on their front covers, 2006 and 2007 and 2008.
But life isn't perfect, is it?
Before I know it, I'll be making my last trip to the U.S.A. Ever. Our furniture will be shipped and the house will be sold. In a way, I desperately want to return to see my friends (not to mention my dad) again, but the 'goodbye' this time will hurt. A lot.
And then, well, 2011 will make an appearance and I'll be forgetting to write the correct date on my work ('2010' instead of '2011'; something I do every year). And then I'll be a teenager, and where will I be? Something alien to me, something different. Not that I don't want to grow up. I just want to savour the moment first.

Which Pokemon is your favorite (out of these)?
 |
| Combee is a sweet bumblebee-like Pokemon with smiley faces and three parts to it. What's not to love? |
 |
| Hoppip's third and final evolution, Jumpluffs are sweet and cuddly with cotton balls on their heads and big, round blue bodies. :) |
 |
| Shaymin are *adorable* green hedgehog Pokemon with a bright pink flower on their side. |
 |
| Resembling foxes, Vulpix are cute and cuddly with russet fur and a thick, plumy tail. |
 |
| Aww! Shinx are bright blue with big, mesmerising eyes and a 'suit'. |
 |
| Buneary are fluffy, brown-and-white bunny Pokemon with big black eyes and a sweet smile. |
 |
| Mew are cuddly pink cat Pokemon, with long, thin tails and huge blue eyes. |
 |
| Chiramii are chinchilla Pokemon, with fluffy white fur and *huge* brown eyes. |
 |
| Eevees have cream-and-white fur and a happy smile. Aww! |
 |
| Corsola, coral-like Pokemon, are pink-and-white and oh-so-soft and cuddly. :P |
How to make a blog button
This is a tutorial by ♠Speed♠ on how to make a blog button yourself, without using a generator.... Of course you can always use a generator if you really want to, but this is 100% YOU.
1) Okay, first find a picture on the internet or maybe on your desktop... hopefully you all know how to save a picture onto your desktop.
I'll use this one.
2) To make the text and everything, you will upload it onto a photo editing website, like Picnik, Photoshop.com, or something that's programmed into your computer, like Paint. Or something else that you have in mind.
I'll use Paint - It's probably the easiest.
As you can see, I added text and some circles..... and resized it. (It's very easy to figure out how)
You'd want to resize it to around 250 pixels, but any size that would fit onto your blog somewhere would be fine. The best resizer would probably Microsoft Office Picture Manager, which is probably programmed into your computer.
3) Once you're finished editing your button and making it look awesome, save it into your picture file.... I hope you all know how to do that.... (It's FILE, then SAVE/SAVE AS)
4) Upload it to an image hosting website like Photobucket, Tinypic, Imageshack, etc. I prefer to use Imageshack and Tinypic because you don't need to make an account for them.
This is Tinypic:
I think the next step is obvious from looking at this picture. ;) Just click 'Browse' and find your saved button image in your photo file! You will have to type in a smap code before it lets you upload anything though.
5) If you've uploaded the picture sucessfully, this will appear:
Oh right, you's need to create a 'HTML/Javascript' gadget on the sidebar. You all know how to add that, right? ('Add a gadget' anywhere on your Design tab, and then select 'HTML/Javascript')
Anyway, copy that HTML from Tinypic and paste it into the little box.
Then post the HTML of the button....
Keep clicking 'Rich Text' until it meets your satisfaction.... and then click 'Save'! Your button will appear on the sidebar!!
HAVE FUN!! ^^

Anyway, copy that HTML from Tinypic and paste it into the little box.
See the weird URL at the beginning of the code? Replace it with the URL of your blog.
6) To get the text area at the bottom of the button so that everyone can pick up the HTML, simply just copy your edited code and paste it underneath it, but this time, add the tagThen post the HTML of the button....
Keep clicking 'Rich Text' until it meets your satisfaction.... and then click 'Save'! Your button will appear on the sidebar!!
HAVE FUN!! ^^

Goodness! How many tags have been going on lately?
If you could have anything right now, what would it be?

Would you like the list typed up or hand-written?
1. Chatting on the phone to friends I just saw twenty minutes ago on the walk home from school.
2. Settling down on the couch in front of the TV with a chocolate bar.
3. Sitting down in front of the computer and updating my blogs/typing some more of my story/checking my emails.
4. Reading, reading and more reading!

Hidden {a poem}
How I feel these days...not to be melodramatic, or anything.
I'm trying too hard,
I'm already lost,
but I just can't change a thing,
I'm hidden.
Don't know how I feel,
I have no appeal,
but I just can't change a thing,
I'm hidden.
No one knows who I am inside,
how much I'm suffering,
to keep this silent from the ears and eyes,
of those who may be listening.
I'm trying too hard,
I'm already lost,
but I just can't change a thing,
I'm hidden...
I need to hide,
I can't survive,
but I just can't change a thing,
'cause I'm already gone...
I'm hidden.
Hidden from the ears and eyes,
of those who may be listening.
I can't survive.
My time is up.
I'm hidden.
I'm hidden...
I'm gone.
I'm trying too hard,
I'm already lost,
but I just can't change a thing,
I'm hidden.
Don't know how I feel,
I have no appeal,
but I just can't change a thing,
I'm hidden.
No one knows who I am inside,
how much I'm suffering,
to keep this silent from the ears and eyes,
of those who may be listening.
I'm trying too hard,
I'm already lost,
but I just can't change a thing,
I'm hidden...
I need to hide,
I can't survive,
but I just can't change a thing,
'cause I'm already gone...
I'm hidden.
Hidden from the ears and eyes,
of those who may be listening.
I can't survive.
My time is up.
I'm hidden.
I'm hidden...
I'm gone.
