Open Hiatus

Yes, I think I will have to do this. There has been way too much homework lately that I don’t know if I will be able to keep up with managing the site. This will not be forever, only temporarily. You could still view my content, but this site won’t be updated, nor will I be able to reply to any of your comments. Add me on Twitter. That goes for affiliates, and anyone else who wishes to keep in contact. I have so much to do, that this site is a hassle at the moment. I will update when I have time free, but do not expect it to be in the next two weeks. Thank you for your patience. I will reply to your comments when I get out of this hiatus, so you may still post comments. Sorry for any inconvenience.

School

It’s been like a week, I know, but I’ve been very busy. It’s been way too busy. I got so much homework in the first week of school that it isn’t even funny. I mean it, I’m jammed. It really, really sucks because it means less time to do other things like blog, work on the sites I have, tweet, chat, roleplay, write, watch movies, etc.

Let’s start off with the first day… well, like I mentioned before, I was nervous. Very nervous. So, I entered the school, was nice and polite with everyone and all that. I made a few friends in homeroom, and then a few in my other classes. All we basically did was talk about expectations on the first day. It was quite boring. And then I had to take the bus home. My dad had dropped me in the morning. On the bus, there was this really pretty 11^th grader, she had grey eyes. Just a random fact. Oh, and we got homework.

On the second day, we actually started to work. We took notes the whole day, it was very boring. And then we got a lot of work. And school was boring as usual.

On the third day, the homework load was massive! I was angered, very frustrated. I was up until 1:30 AM working on it. Ugh, ugh, ugh. And, once again, I took the bus home.

Then, yesterday, I saw a pregnant girl. I have no idea how old she was, or what grade she was in. But, she was pregnant, and she was pretty big. I got scared seeing her. Also, that girl with the grey eyes, I saw her smoking. I was sickened by the fact that such a pretty girl smoked. I was sad. Very sad.

I would have blogged longer, but I really need to get back to my homework. And I did do some updates. I added a new advert, a new affie, and on Monday I created two tutorials. :)

I’ll try responding to most of your comments tonight!

Nerves

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 10:31:00 -0400

What is wrong with me? I’m extremely nervous at the moment, school starts in two days. High School starts. I will be a freshman in High School in two days time. High School is not Middle School, or Elementary School. It’s the real thing, a huge deal. High School determines where your career goes. High School has a huge influence on people, some choose to take the negative influence, and some choose to take the positive one. I’m positive I’ll take the positive road. It is really getting me anxious, thinking about all this. It is scaring me, and worrying me. I mean what are you supposed to do if you are walking by someone in the hall? Look at them, or not? If anyone has advice on how to get through High School, can you please let me know? Thank you.

Apart from that, I would like to thank you for taking your time to comment on my blogs and give advice on how to get more visitors. A few people have mentioned that visitors shouldn’t matter, and I can totally understand where your reasoning comes from. I would really like to get people, so that’s why I’m commenting on all these blogs. It’s not all about the hits here, I am a generally friendly person. And speaking of hits, my 5 unique visitors, went up to 50 the next day! And then the day after that (or yesterday), it went up to 79! I’m very pleased!

Other than the hits, and High School, I watched a movie called 10 Things I Hate About You. Not the show, the 1999 movie. It was brilliant! I enjoyed it. It is definitely somewhere in my favourite movies list now! I also enjoy the show a lot. It’s my favourite show, and in my opinion, amazing! I love Patrick aka Ethan Peck. I think he’s gorgeous! Who else watches it?

Now on to the updates, I’ve added a few advertisements, and an affiliate. That’s about it, because I spent all yesterday working on a coded layout to enter in a competition for a free domain. Check it out here and let me know what you think. Thank you!

Thanks for all your comments and e-mails. It means so much to me! :D

One more thing! Can you guys vote for me here? It’s an SOTM. And enter my icon challenge here please. Thank you!

Help + Updates!

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:42:00 -0400

Let’s start off with updates today. I’ve added 5 icons, 2 blends, 2 banners, 1 texture, and 2 tutorials. All today. Go check them out and be sure to give me feedback! One of the tutorials was Photoshop, and one was Piczo. I decided that I may as well add that category. I want my site to provide a wide variety of tutorials.

Okay, so time for the blog part. I really have nothing to blog about, other than the fact that I’m nervous about school. But, I’m sure you guys won’t want to hear how nervous I am. It would freak you out. Trust me, haha. So I guess this is it for today.

WAIT!!! No, I need help. I need to know how to get more visits on my site. Yesterday the unique visitors went down to FIVE. That was terrible! If you know of any good sites which can provide good advertising, and stuff, then be sure to let me know! I’m going to go comment on people’s blogs right now. I’m extremely desperate for hits. Someone help!!!

Edit One: I have added a challenge page. At the moment there is an icon challenge, so check that out. I have also added another affiliate. I’m going to go and advertise the site at other places now.

School?

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:31:35 -0400

I’ll start from the beginning then. Well, some sort of beginning. Starting from Tuesday. The day after I wrote the last blog. The day of my orientation. Freshmen orientation.

So, I was anxiously at home, waiting for the time to come to leave. To go to the 9^th grade orientation. It was scary, just sitting there, waiting for High School to move you. I was scared, I had the butterflies in my stomach, I was nervous. I knew this was everything. So, once we went—I picked out a cute outfit by the way—I was clinging to my mom, because I knew nobody there. Everyone else was with people, but I seemed to be the only one with nobody. So, I was holding on to my mother. And then it turned out that parents weren’t allowed in. So my mom had to go, and I was left alone. I was definitely freaked out. I spoke to a few people, nervously trying not to look alone. In the end, I stuck to this girl. She was not in any of the classes I had, but seemed friendly enough to stick around for the day. So first I got my schedule, had to pay the $20 fee, got my agenda, and lanyard, and then made my way to the auditorium where the presentation was supposed to take place. So I sat next to this girl during the whole presentation. After that, we went on a tour of the school. Boy it was huge. It is the biggest High School in my province, and we only have three minutes to switch classes. Ugh, it was a nervous thought. Afterward, I bought my Physical Education uniform. A T-Shirt and a pair of shorts. It makes me look crazy. I’ve got Phys. Ed, Geography, Science, and English this semester. The next one I have Math, Information Technology, Drama, and French.

Yeah, so then the next day, I cleaned every nook and cranny of my room. I cleared out my drawers and all that crap.

And now I’m here, blogging, nervously waiting for school to start. It will be very stressful and I know it. It starts this Tuesday. September the Eighth. I will be going into High School, and I will be bloody freaked out.

Another Blog!

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:50:00 -0400

Yeah, I haven’t blogged at all this weekend because I have been very busy. Saturday, I went to a party—which I must mention was very boring. There was someone the same age as me there, but I was not in the mood to talk. It was a family friend’s party, so I did not recognize anyone there. It was a birthday party, and the mother of the birthday boy (who is such an adorable 5 year old), gave me the computer. I browsed Facebook, and Pottersworld (the Harry Potter Roleplay I participate in).

So, that was basically how my Saturday was spent. Before that I had gone shopping. On Sunday, I cleaned out my entire wardrobe, I rearranged my clothes, and organized them a bit more. And that was how yesterday was spent. Most of it anyways.

As for updates, there aren’t any, other than the fact that I added a few more affiliates. Check them out, they’re all awesome!

Updated. :)

Literally, this is the next day. It’s 12:59 AM as I write this, but I needed to let you know of my updates before I went to bed, didn’t I? Basically, I added a blank buttons page, an advertisement page, a tutorial, and a couple more affies. It is quite a lot to me, I do way less. So, it is a quite a load for me.

Today I also watched a movie called “2012: Doomsday”. I watched it on DVD and liked it a lot, it was about the predictions of the world ending in 2012. I personally don’t believe it, but it was a neat movie, and I enjoyed it a lot. I also find this debate about the Mayan Calendar very interesting, and I just found out a hidden hobby of mine. Philosphy! I think I might consider that as a career too. I have to make a lot of career decisions now, I’m entering my freshmen year at High School, and I want the career that will be fun, and well paid.

Other than that, I really appreciate all your comments. I would just like to thank you for them. Keep them coming!

That’s it for now, updates might come tomorrow!

After a Night of Sleep and Sisterly Duties

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:04:00 -0400

So, I ended up going to sleep last night. I was trying to lie down in bed with my eyes open, and it worked for about an hour. I actually do not remember when my eyes slipped closed. I certainly cannot remember it (can you usually?). So, I woke up this morning at about 12:00. Wait, it was this afternoon, my bad.

So after I woke up, I had lunch, and then my mom called her friend to give my brother a haircut. You might already be turning back now, saying “Wait whaaaaat? Who calls a friend to give their children haircuts?”. But, my parents and this man are very close. Plus my brother (who is eight, going on nine), wanted to go. They are on very friendly terms, my brother and this man. But, the thing is, the strange thing, is that I had to drop him. It would be a 20 minute walk there, and then another 20 minutes getting back. But, we took our bikes and cut the time in half. I really did not want to go, I wanted to log on to the computer and spend the time on here, but I had no choice. That man would not come and pick him up. The benefit is that I am brother free at the moment! Brother free time = More focus on websites and other important things.

Now on to the updates, I have added two affiliates so far. Go visit their sites, they are awesome!

So, I guess I will go and update the site now. When I have updates, I will either edit this post or write a new one!

Good Night!

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:38:00 -0400

It’s 5:36 AM right now, and I am tired as hell. I have spent all night working on my site, and I think I should just turn in to bed now. I have applied to be affiliates with many different people, I have added 12 icons, and 3 banners, I have finished the whole Webmistress page, and the credits page. I feel as if I have accomplished a lot in one night.

I am not entirely sure that I want to go to sleep, because I will have to wake up in a few hours anyways. I might feel more tired. Maybe I could keep my eyes open for the rest of the day? Hmm… I guess I should log off the computer whatever I choose to do, it will just get me more tired.

Well, good night! Apply to be affiliated with Toxic!

Open!

emmacharlottedwatson@hotmail.com (Toxic) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 03:03:00 -0400

I have decided that I would like to open this site because I have finished a fair bit of it. I have the homepage completed, and the Webmistress page completed. I have started adding to the Content page, but that part of the site is not open yet. It has only been a few hours since I started on this site, and so far, I think it is looking fabulous!

I am going to apply to be affiliates on a few sites, get some job done, and then continue working on the content. Over the next few days, expect massive updates. Trust me, there will be many. The Content page will probably be open later today. In the meantime, you guys could go and apply to be affiliates, that is really the only thing open for visitors at the moment. I will make sure to blog once the whole site is open. Thank you for all the support!

Edit one: Okay, the visitor content page is up! There are icons and banners, all made by me. Please credit if you use.
