">Consider This
June 24th, 2006 @ 10:53 pm

From the depths of the internet rises a condition that many internet users in the webdesign world suffer from. But how do you cure it? Where did it come from? Wait, do I even want to cure it? What is this condition I speak of. The technical term is layoutwhoreism. Ah yes, many are infected each day with this! I am familar with this condition. It appears this is my 3rd blog in a row as well as my 3rd theme being added in a row. I’m really happy with this one too, especially since I drew all of it. I hate pink, but it seemed to fit haha. This theme is called Sway, and it’s now the default theme. I also added a drop down menu since Blissful has about 8 themes now.

Have you ever bought anything online? I recently purchased a guitar shaped purse online, that I love (I took pictures but my digital camera’s bateries are dead). I also bought a swimsuit from Victoria’s Secret since they were having a sell. I need to stop though, since I feel uncomfortable buying things online … but I can’t stop myself haha.

Thursday I saw Lake House with some friends, I thought it was a cute movie but it was easy to predict the ending. I may also see Click next week or maybe Superman Returns … maybe both? See any movies lately? Like them or hate them?

This blog is rather boring since I haven’t really done a whole lot lately except work and hang out with friends. Still working on getting the “uber-updates” done, should be done within a week or so. Thanks for the comments on the new theme (well I guess old now haha), which will be returned.

    I love this layout. It’s great. I wish I was as good as you at making layouts. I really want to see Click and probably Superman Returns. I hope they are good!

    I love the new theme!! Awesome job girl :)

    I used to be a layout whore, but now my inspiration has gone to poo. Making layouts has become very difficult for me recently.

    The only thing i’ve ever bought online have been domain names and hosting, obviously. I’ve been debating whether I should sign up for ebay, but then again, my parents will probably spaz when they notice that I get suspicious packages in the mail and knowing that I bought something online. It’s easier to buy a domain and hosting and getting away with it. After all, I used my paypal for that, and they don’t even suspect a thing. haha. MY ACCOUNT, MY MONEY, I do what I want. :)

    online shopping is so addictive. i had to refrain myself from it some time last year ’cause i was running out of funds pretty fast. tsk tsk.

    movies, eh? i’m looking forward to Superman Returns, as well! … and, uhmm, the most recent one i saw would have to be Scary Movie 4. hehe. it’s definitely for good laughs.

    Fortunately (I suppose), I’m not suffering from layoutwhoreism right now. :P I haven’t had much inspiration to blog or make layouts lately, but hopefully I will soon. I love this theme, by the way. It’s very nice. ;)
    Hah, I’ve never bought anything online. I don’t really like putting my personal info on the net.. xP
    I saw Click yesterday and it was pretty good, I think you’ll enjoy it, if you go see it. :) I wanna see The Lake House so badly, lol. I love those kinda movies. :P I also want to see Superman Returns, it sounds awesome.

    I like the layout a lot, I can’t believe you drew all of it. Skillful. :) I haven’t seen Lake House but most of the people I know who have seen it rated it poorly. Hm. Anyway, I’ll be sure to check back here.

    Woww, this theme is really nice. ^__^
    I know what you mean about the layout whoreism, but i’m gonna try and stick to one for a bit, seeing as it’s my first, until I get more content and stuff.
    I wish I had the money to buy things online! But if I could, I definately would.
    Maybe I should start watching films, cause I never go to the cinema these days, meaning i’m never upto date with new films. >.

    omg, i totally knew what you mean! I’ve had this sickness before, lol. But good thing it stopped before it gets worse. Like changing layout everyday, haha. Thanks to school for keeping me too busy from even updating my site. :)

    I’ve seen scary movie 4 actually but it’s highly predictable since I know what the movie is all about. spoofs on other horror movies.. etc. but it was funny anyway. I’d probably not see any movie again for the meantime since none of the current one sparks my interest. take care!

    Oooh, very pretty new theme!! I usually don’t like pink either, but for some reason I’ve been making a lot of pink-ish designs lately o.O

    I’ve bought some clothes, CDs and small electronics online…I live in a small town with limited selection of stores so I just order stuff :D

    I love this theme. I’ll have to check out the rest of them before I leave. And this is not a boring entry; you make it very easy for us visitors to comment.
    I have never bought anything online. My parents said they would get me a debit card so I can but I have yet to get it, plus they aren’t really “hip” to the whole online shopping thing. A guitar shaped purse? That sounds awesome. Which store did you get that one from?
    Sadly, I haven’t seen any movies lately. =(

    Love your layout and site. Your tutorial section is the best and I thank you very much for having that one about the Wak scripts, I use the Ask&Answer script and if it wasn’t for your tutorial/warning I would never have known about that, who knows how many people could have hacked into it. Thanks.

    O I really want to go see The Lake House, all my friends have said it was good. A another new movie that I liked was The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, that movie was sooo friggin good, not to much of a great storyline, but the scenes and racing were hot, so it was all worth it.

    Beautiful new theme. :) Why is everyone able to do so nice illustrations and mine are just plain crap? Anyways… Haha, I’m kind of hooked on Dan Brown right now, I just borrowed Angels and Demons from the library when I finished Deception Point, which turned out awesome. Yes, I’ve bought stuff online. Last week I bought some jewelry supplies, and before I’ve bought some cd’s and dvd’s. :D The most recent movie I saw was X-Men: The Last Stand, and I thought it was awesome.

    No, you blog isn’t boring. :D I enjoy reading it, even though I don’t usually comment. Haha.

    So when you buy stuff online are you able to return them? That would probably be why I would prefer to buy from a real store. I like to be able to try stuff on first.

    I saw The Break Up yesterday. It wasn’t too bad. Not as good as I was hopeing though. I might go see Click or The Lake House tomorrow. I really want to see them. Also I can’t wait for the new Pirates movie to come out on the 7th!

    Nice layout, but the sidebar seems a little wide.

    I’ve been slacking off with my site too, there are so many updates that need to be done but I can’t bring myself to do them. What can I say… it’s summer, hello laziness!

    Your new theme is beautiful. You’re really talented! I want to see the Lake House, I’ve heard mixed opinions about it. My mom said that it was hard to figure out and you said it was easy to predict, so that makes me want to see it even more.

    Ha, I’ve never had a case of layoutwhoreism, since I only change my layout every month.

    And I’ve bought a lot of things online~ I’ve bought t-shirts, armwarmers/socks (hehe), electronics, and the like.

    I like the new theme!

    I’ve bought makeup online and that’s mostly it. A pair of shoes once.

    I saw the Da Vinci Code finally, and I saw Fast and The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift. I’m waiting to see Superman Returns in IMAX though, it’s constantly sold out here.

    Hey.
    First off, love the new theme! I haven’t seen any movies for along time. Im waiting for Superman Returns!

    Also, you exchanged links with my old site, radicalreviews.undeserving.net
    I have a new site so if you want, switch the links :)

    And yes, you are the queen of layoutwhoreism. Haha. I love your new lay, and to think that you drew it. Coolness. Oh my gosh! You bought a guitar shaped purse? Where? Tell me!

    So anyway I saw Lake House too, and yep it was kind of easy to predict. The moment I realized that it was Keanu who was hit, I got bored with the movie. But then the story is cute. Gawsh! Now I’m such a spoiler. Sorry for those who have not seen and is planning on seeing it.

    I bought a bag online, which I totally adore, and I’m still using it.

    Adios!

    The new theme is very beautiful, I’m amazed that you drew this by yourself! There’s no problem being a layout whore as long as you make good ones.
    Glad that you found something nice on the internet, I’m a crazy internet buyer indeed. It’s quite safe nowadays, just make sure you get things from proper places like ebay. :P

    Wow, I love the new theme. The drawing is amazing. I could never draw like that… all you’ll see from me is some crappy stick figure.

    I’ve never purchased anything on the Internet before. Well, I buy songs from iTunes, but you know… I would probably feel uncomfortable too.

    The last movie I saw in theaters was The Breakup. It was okay.

    I dont want to watch The Lakehouse simply because it looks pretty bad. I think iits a way hollywood is saying “Yeah, we have nothing better to do”

    But I am happy that you liked it.

    It seems to me that I got my layoutwhorism shot, because I don’t change/make layouts very often. (That reminds me, I have to make another one…)

    I bought a lot of stuff online. Just recently I bought The Sims 2 University off target.com.

    I bought a video game off ebay and got a bootleg. It worked like the real thing, but after awhile it wouldn’t save…grr. And it was a Zelda game, so you know I was pissed.

    I’m not infected with this mentioned disease. I wish I was inspired enough to make layouts often and to blog often, but I fail.

    I’ve bought quite a few things off of ebay, ebay is addicting. I lack money at the moment though. So, no ebay for me. I’ve bought books, movies and games so far.

    My friend was telling me about Lake House yesterday. He kept saying how he wants to see it again. I’ve never heard of it, I don’t think anyway. I wouldn’t mind seeing the new Superman movie, maybe. I’ll prob just wait for it to come out on DVD. I really really really wanna see The Hills Have Eyes, it looks really good and like my kind of movie. Gore ♥. I watched Waiting yesterday with my friend and it was good, I loved it. It was really funny. Ryan Reynolds cracks me up like whoa.

    I’m not infected with laywhoreism anymore, I used to be when I was REALLY into webdesign. My interests have changed and I lack the motivation required to produce a layout every couple of days.

    I do like your new skin, though. The colors make the drawing stand out from the rest. Wonderful job!

    Its a awesome layout. Alot of people are going with pink now, even though they don’t like it. Hehe.
    I used to be the same way – i made layout after layout and just keep puting them on my site. I found out it was because I had nothing else to do.. heh, i’m not saying thats the case for you though.

    Thanks for the comment.

    I usually hate pink but I have to say it works well with this theme/layout whatever you’re going to call it!

    Hmm I’m addicted to eBay and Amazon for buying things online – it’s just too tempting.

    Ooh I recently saw POTC 2 – loved it! If you liked the first one, you should like the second one as well :) I want to see Superman but all my friends are going during the day on Saturday – when I’m stuck at work *doh*. Oh well!
