• Someone runs this site?

    Yes they do! And it has a name. In fact, it's not even an it, its a she! Ok. I'll give you a moment to process that information.

    Ok, so it's, excuse me, her name is Athena, she is a freshman putting her around 14 years of age. What, you want to know even more about her, what are you, a stalker? *shesh* fine.

    She likes books, a lot. I mean she's gotta have 100s of the things stacked around her room, her bookshelf has long since been filled so the floor has taken over as their place of residence.

    Music is another of her interests, her voice could make your ears bleed but she can play the piano decently and greatly enjoys it. Her music collection is even more extensive than her books. In this new fangled world of technology we have these days she has very few actually CDs but via itunes her collection is quite extensive. Mostly centering around who knows what, how many times do you find Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, and The Killers in one itunes library? Let along Adele, Duffy, and Wolfmother. Yes, eclectic at the least.

    Some other loves of hers are sewing (she has a love hate relationship with a sewing machine from the 70s) sketching and Matthew Gray Gubler.

    Ok, this is getting a wee bit on the long side.. But hell, it's her site, why should she stop there huh? HUH? Ok so wanna know more about this maverick of a girl? Click the pretty little about link to your left and read your little heart out.

    Listening to: Hi - Psapp

    [Edit] So just for fun I added this little map thingy at the bottom of the page.. I wont leave it up for long I just want to see how much data it can get in two or three days.. So well enjoy. Oh it’s a map of the exact location of each visitor.. Cool huh.? Don’t worry I got rid of the thing that says like the city and state so you just get to look at the picture so yeah. :p [/edit] 

    Heyy peoples.. I really was starting to feel guilty for my lack of blogging so this should be a pretty long post so go get a cup of hot coco and start reading.

    So for my birthday the one present I actually got on it (well technically two days after) was a $50 itunes gift card!!! I am so excited.. So far I have gotten:

    Timebomb - Beck
    Life Is Short - Butterfly Boucher
    Never Leave Your Heart Alone - Butterfly Boucher
    I Feel It All - Feist
    My Moon My Man - Feist
    Sea Lion Woman - Feist
    Fly Me Away - Goldfrapp
    Number 1 - Golfrapp
    Breakable - Ingrid Michaelson
    Overboard - Ingrid Michaelson
    Far Away - Ingrid Michaelson
    Around You - Ingrid Michaelson
    Knock ‘Em Out - Lily Allen
    Everything’s Just Wonderful - Lily Allen
    Work That - Mary J. Blige
    Mercy - OneRepublic
    Cosy In the Rocket - Psapp
    Hi - Psapp
    Silver Lining - Rilo Kiley
    Between the Lines - Sara Bareilles

    And I got 4 episodes of Bones 1 episode of Ugly Betty and 1 episode of Grey’s Anatomy..My itunes library is no longer on a diet lol. My dad actually forgot it was my birthday though so that kinda sucked.Lately I have been listening to lots of techno-pop-ish music. I am still totally in love with Ingrid Michaelson but but Feist and Psapp have been added to my total obsession list.. I would recommend all of these songs to anybody lol. 

    You may be wondering about the title of this post well I have found that my parakeet, Azul, is actually quite picky about music! He like Psapp. Whenever I play Hi he starts tweeting like crazy it’s so funny. He also likes Respect yep. No joke. Oh and he likes Fidelity by  Regina Spektor. Personally I like his taste most of the time he likes really bubbly pop stuff but he seems to have a thing for Coldplay go figure.  

    So as for updates I am working on the brush set as promised. It’s kind of a hard one to make, I have to trace all of these flowers in illustrator. I only have a few more to got though so it should be done soon. I am finishing up with a new free layout or two so those should be up soon. Also I am working on a couple of new AP tuts. Oh! We have gots us a new hostee! Alex has her site up so be sure to go check it out Alex Gets Real @ Abelinda.net .. I still have some spots left I think but I got an email the other day from someone who wanted to get hosted so if that works out we will have another hostee.

    I am kind of glad and kind of sad that my dark room class is over. It can be so much fun but it can be really boring it all depends on your negatives.. I really enjoy taking the pictures more that developing them though.

    I am getting really frustrated with ballet I am seriously getting nowhere and two of my friends are changing studios. I kind of want to change too but I would feel so guilty since so many people are changing.

    Oh. I have a book for you. Ender’s Game. It’s one of the best scifi novels ever.. Seriously. It’s little gorey though so don’t read and eat… I am so so so so excited. Under a month until A Sweet Far Thing comes out.. I cannot wait to find out what happens gah. Well enough book rambling I better go work some more on those update I promised you all..

    TTFN

    PS. thank you all so much for the amazing gifts! They where all so sweet I really need to make a page to put them on. :)

      Dear Athena,

      OH MY GOSH I love the new theme!!! ^^ It’s so professional! And purple, too; you can’t go wrong with purple! =D

      We have similar taste in music–Lily Allen is great, and Sara Bareilles! Goldfrapp, too. I want to buy Feist’s album; hopefully soon.

      That is too cute, with your parakeet and his music taste. :) My animals aren’t really into music…my cat Khonsu spazzes out every time I play rock or something. xD It’s kind of funny.

      OOh the 3rd novel by Libba Bray?! I didn’t know it was coming out so soon! I can’t wait either! It seems like it’s been SO long since I finished Rebel Angels! xD

      XOXO McKenna

      Dear Athena,

      hey host
      I’m so upset about this php thing because i found out it didn’t work in the end somehow so what happened was all the files in folders wouldn’t work meaning their css, header, and footer wouldn’t work. But it only happened witht the files in folders.

      Anyway i’m not here to get sympathy i just wanted you to know i changed my site to how it was but now i miss having php a bit. :( lol i’ve commented so much here. So thanks for all your help!

      you use wordpress right? well for your blogs or wait..well what exactly does wordpress do… Is it just for bloging?

      XOXO ben

      Dear Athena,

      Feist is so good! I love her. That’s too bad about your ballet. Maybe you should switch schools? I don’t know, that’s tough.

      XOXO Sarah
