So, finally, I received news from my school about whether or not I would be receiving my Associate's Degree. And despite getting a D in my Speech class, I am getting my degree!!! YAY! I am so happy about it. I won't have to rewrite my resume and make crap up about why I've been in community college for 3 and a half years.

I start at the Art Institute in July and hopefully most, if not all of my credits will transfer.

4 days til I leave the cold for the Sunshine State!!! <3

It's really cold here in PA. A week ago, I went out shopping in sandals and no coat and I was fine and now it's like pre-snow weather. Hate it!

Love this video!!! Very good for designers...


8 days til I leave!!! <3

Happy New Year! Some things of importance:

01. I want to post at least once a month in 2008 (So I don't have to say every time, "Hi my name is Steph and I am alive!"). This is that post.

02. I'm leaving for Florida in 22 days! I didn't get a Professional Internship, but I'm going to try again for the fall. I think I got really close last time, so I've just got to spiff up the Portfolio and try again. I am going this time for the Spring 08 program in Merchandise. If you come to Disney World, I'll hopefully be at one of the gift shops. So exciting!

03. I finished a version of my online portfolio, for a web design class. It looks like shit in Firefox, but I want to fix it up.

04. I hope everyone is good and safe and starts their year off well!!! Happy 2008! :D

For the past 3 weeks I've been working on getting an internship with Disney; this time a professional one. I've had a couple interviews and I hope things go well. I probably won't know until late November for sure.

In other news, I've just realized (with this entry) that I don't know how to blog any more.

Writing an Artist's Statement is hard! Oh phooey! :(

Art Meme.
THE FIRST 10 PEOPLE WHO RESPOND TO THIS JOURNAL ENTRY WILL GET A FREE SKETCH preferrably human (but not porn)... animals require way too much research for me right now for free sketches.

The fine print:
a) If you make a request, you must duplicate the offer in your own journal. It shouldn't be too hard if you really half-ass it.
b) Don't be shy in your request, but do understand it will probably be just a loose pencil drawing.
c) You might get your sketches ages from now, but you will get it eventually.

A note before you start reading this: This entry is really long. I mean really long. Like it took me 3 hours to write, based on notes I took while watching the show. So this is all about the experience from last night and me remembering it, until I have a chance to rewatch the finale (working on that now). I talk about everything that happened. So if you didn't see the whole thing, and you read this, you're screwed (unless you don't care; then by all means continue). Any way, happy reading. :D

( First, before watching the show I had this theory about Seasone 3 )

( So then the Season 02 Finale came on... )

The whole thing freaked me out.

So how about last night's Lost? ( spoilers )

And there's an Anonymous Icon Truth Meme. I'm on page 5 of the comments, if you'd like to tell me how you feel about my journal. Constructive crit is welcome. :D

So, I've participated in the_lj_reboot and made myself a snazzy layout using only CSS to modify it! Sailor Moon is love.



As for the design, I was (and am) in a rut artistically, but I fell in love with the image. So that got me started. And then I made the background pattern. I knew I wanted something that was more minimalist, so I stuck with a white background and a teal-green color scheme.

Coding the stylesheet was a bit tough. I had I think 3 going at the same time, before I figured out what the problem was and then I figured it out, finally. So I suppose that was my process, in a nutshell. :D

The tutorials by grrliz for making CSS layouts are wonderfully helpful. Check them out if you want to make a loverly layouts! :)

ETA: I thought I should mention that IE hates this layout. Firefox is constantly making love to it though.

Regarding Frienditto:

If you use Frienditto, a service brought to us by jameth (who brought us the not-so-wonderful LJDrama.org), take me off of your friend list and keep me off of your friendlist. I have no interest in having you listed as my friend.

Thank you.
