Web Development

This is not our final project. We had to build a social networking website. I chose to create one about gamers. With the help of my super-awesome professor we were able to add the ability of people to upload screenshots to display on their profile. I am really loving this class and sad it’s almost over! Our final project is creating a Wordpress site – think I should be fine with that one  Already turned in this website, just waiting for my grade. And my professor emailed me asking if he can use my website as an example for future semesters YAY!

Here is my website. Feel free to sign up!

Painting I

I think this is a method I may use for a future painting. Creating something in photoshop and then painting it. I am really loving how my painting is turning out so far (the picture is kinda bleh :P). I plan on creating a blog post just about this painting once it’s completed to show the full process for it. As well as discuss why I painted what I did. This project is due Wednesday!

Media Print Problems Workshop

I finished the book resume we had to design and showed my professor on Thursday. She basically told me that I could design something better – and she’s right! I am currently working on a new book (which I’ll post pictures of once it’s finished) but have also been coding away at the website. Still have quite a bit of coding to do but it’s up if people want to see it so far.

Go here to see my portfolio.

In other news, I also opened two new blogs over the last few weeks! ChicksPwn.us which is a group gaming blog! Will post reviews, general gaming chat, and more. I also opened TradeChat.us with my boyfriend (although I’ve been the only one posting haha) where it’s all about World of Warcraft! I also even opened back up my youtube channel (nacochan) where I have been posting WoW videos and soon will post gameplay from my xbox 360 as well as vlogs.

Okay, so I know there are no monsters under my bed but I sleep a certain way with my blanket and it’s something I have done since I was little. I HATE for my feet to be uncovered. If I don’t have a blanket on me, for some reason, than I don’t care. If I do have a blanket my feet need to be uncovered. I even tuck the blanket under my feet slightly. This was something I did when I was little because my thinking was that the blanket would protect me against the monsters under my bed. And if my feet were uncovered they could get me. I even drew some nice pictures to illustrate this

The above = bad. Notice the weird yellow-eyed green monster is able to access my feet? Yeah, that’s bad.

This is good! Feet covered by blanket and the monster is sad because now he can’t eat me.

Even though I know monsters don’t exist, I probably won’t stop covering my feet anytime soon. I guess there are some things we just never really grow out of Also thanks the comments on me graduating, I am very excited!

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Week 4 theme is Domestic! When you’re not up for cooking or eating at home what restaurants do you generally go to? How often do you go and which ones are your favorites?

I love eating out. Whether I am too lazy to cook something or just have a craving for a specific place I love it. Here in Tallahassee there’s an AMAZING pita place called Pitaria that is just awesome. Becca and I used to go there more than we should and I ate there the other day with an old friend, Heather, who is in town for her job. The food never disappoints Some others I love are Panera, Crispers, Outback Steakhouse, On the Border, Olive Garden, Friday’s, Ruby Tuesdays, and a few more that I can not think of at the moment. I don’t really eat out often, maybe 3-5 times a month? More depending on the circumstances of such. I love sitting at home to a nice meal I made but it’s also nice to go out with friends and family and enjoy a nice meal someone else made

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Week 4 theme is Domestic! When you were younger what did you want to be when you grew up? Looking at your life now, how close are you to that job and what do you aspire to do now career wise?

I’m just your average high school student, well almost average. I have a secret when I am not in school taking exams I am out saving the world with my friends. Sure it’s not a typical job a teenager has but it’s my job and I love it. I love nothing more than morphing. The power I feel when I am wearing my bright pink and girly suit is not something that can be explained easily. The bizarre sounds I always make when I land my high flying kicks and punches (that all sound pre-recorded and the exact same sound over and over again). And if you haven’t guessed it by now when I was little I wanted to a Power Ranger. I was little what can I say

I remember playing “Power Rangers” with my friends on the playground at school and even playing with my friends in the neighborhood. I of course was always Kimberley the Pink Power Ranger. Power Rangers even inspired me to take karate which I took when I was about 10 (I was pretty good at it, I made a boy cry during a session … haha) Of course eventually I realized it was just a show and opted for just dressing as the Pink Ranger for Halloween one year.

Besides that I always wanted to be a lot of other things. Actress, wild animal trainer, vet, policeman, FBI agent (I have even have some stuff from the local FBI when I considered it as a job when I was 16, just some shirts and such), chef, and more. Eventually I discovered my love for graphic design and art in general was not just a hobby and went that route. I am currently studying studio art and graphic design and only have about a year or so left until a graduate, which it getting me a lot closer to my dream In the mean time of course I love designing websites for myself and friends.

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Day 10  prompt is: When you log on the computer what do you normally do? What sites do you visit?

I usually first check things like email, facebook, and message boards. At some point in between all of that I of course log on World of Warcraft, which is usually followed by tabbing out to do something else again haha. I tend to browse tumblr for any new funny images and such. I try to check my RSS reader everyday but usually I do not, if I do of course I read a few blog updates from people or just get lazy and make them all as read and read them later At point I also check my WoW guild’s website (the forums mainly) to see what’s new. Also check twitter a few times and maybe post an update or two

Cycle pretty much repeats itself :D!

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Day 6 prompt is: What are some things you do when you procrastinate?

I am HORRIBLE when it comes to procrastinating. I mentioned in the last blog that I get easily distracted well easily distracted + procrastinating = a bad combo for me. Here is a list of the usual things I do when procrastinating, which usually happens whether it’s school work, personal stuff, and pretty much everything in between.

• Continually browse and refresh  Digital Epidemic (this applies once it reopens again lol), Snark,and Veracity.
• Check facebook, way more than I should.
• Check my email as well as my school email account
• Mess with my iPhone (such as playing a game or making a list of things I should be doing!)
• Mess with my iPad, which consists of doing the above things (forums, facebook, etc) and downloading random apps.
• Play World of Warcraft (which I usually get distracted in and alt-tab all  the time to browse the internet)
• Clean, I seem to do most of my cleaning when I should be doing something else.
• Watch TV or a movie. I usually have the TV on when I’m in the computer room but if I decide to watch a movie it’s because I don’t want to do anything else. I also can not watch a movie on any of my computers because I get distracted by the internet and other random things.
• Look at things I want to buy on online stores (Amazon, Jinx, Think Geek, etc).
• Cook something (we usually involves having to go to the grocery store first because I tend to want to make something I don’t have the ingredients for)
• And probably a whole lot more!

Funny part is, I was making lunch as I was typing this up (because I hate standing there and watching the food cook :P) and I ended up letting the macaroni noodles overcook OOPS … and I only remembered when I typed up the “cook something” bullet point, haha.
