   Sorry, there's a sort of rant

Hi my dears!

*many hugs* Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my picture and card <33 It really made me smile to read them (gosh, you're all so sweet! ^__^) And thank you for the comments on my last post! o.o Wow, I really wasn't expecting so many! Thank you very much to Kelsey, Meagan, Noirassasin, and Anna-chan! *hugs my angels*

I would respond to each of your comments, but I'm sort of tired and I don't know how long I'll be on. ^^;;;

My internet is working and has stayed working for almost a week now (thank goodness) So, I've been trying to comment more. It's a lot of fun, and a nice break from being busy XD I guess I've still been pretty busy, but it still isn't too bad. Really, the main reason I haven't posted for so many days is that I've been a bit depressed and didn't want to spread it around to any of you... maybe it was the weather... idk

But, I'm feeling a bit more cheerful today! ^__^ OH! And I have some exciting news~! On our way up to visit my sister, we stopped at a music store. I had enough money, and I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I bought a used trumpet! ^__^ I'm so excited about it! Even though I love my guitar (and it will always be my first choice as an instrument) I fell in love with the sound trumpets made and wanted to play one as a hobby.

It is a lot harder than it looks! I can make noises on it, but I won't call it music... ^^;; I'm still happy I did it, though. It's nice, because now I have an excuse to sit down and relax by practicing the trumpet ^__^ Although, I'm trying to keep it a secret from most people... they just wouldn't understand and they'd think I was trying to disregard the years I've spent with my guitar XPPP So, only a few people in my family (and now you ^^) know about it! ^___^ Lol, I guess it probably sounds silly, I don't know. ^^;

~~~ Sorry, this next part is something that's been bothering me. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.

Anyway, on a sort of more serious note, I've been giving a lot of thought to e-cards lately. More specifically, I'm trying to figure out if I really want to make them anymore...

I mean, I enjoyed making them and all of you have always been so supportive... But lately, when I have spare time to look around TheO (you know, things that people have created who I don't know yet) I've been noticing a lot of people have been upset and complaining about e-cards. o.o I was surprised how many people are upset that the e-cards are apparently not as good as they were in the "glory days" of TheO...

... I don't think I was on the site during that time period, so I'm not completely sure what it means. But I know that I'm not an artist. I made my cards using Microsoft Paint. I don't know how to make textures (or even if it's possible with my programs).

But what I do know is that I don't want to make people upset. And there seem to be some people who are really upset with people who make plain cards like I did. So, that's why I feel I'm faced with this decision.

If I stop making cards, I'll still comment on people's work (o.o I wouldn't want to leave TheO!) I guess I just really don't know what to think right now -.-; Like I said before, I've been feeling ... strange, so that's probably a lot of what the problem is...

I'm sorry for dumping this on you! T.T *hugs tightly* I just feel like I'll burst if I don't say what's on my mind sometimes. And, truthfully, I don't want to make a decision like that right now. If even one person wants me to make cards again, I'll make them for that one person. I just don't want to add to the level of upset people here ^^;;

Okay, I'm going to change the subject now. I don't want to end the post like this.

I've been thinking about creating a World on TheO. Sort of something for the people who don't belong to MyO (it's a strange thought to me; when I signed up to TheO, MyO was part of the package... I guess it's different now?) But, there are also things that I want to do with that World that I don't think I could figure out here. ^__^

Oh, and on a completely random note- My oldest sister got her hair cut! It used to be almost all the way down to her waist and now it's even shorter than mine o.O She's really happy, though! And it looks fantastic on her (she only grew it out that long for Locks of Love) I even managed to convince her to let me put makeup on her! lol, yeah, she really hates the stuff, but I think a little bit of makeup can look nice! And she did look incredible ^__^ I was so proud of how professional she looked! Gosh, but my Mom cut her hair too, so my other sister is the only girl in the family with long hair right now... *random*

^__^ Well, thank you for reading this far (and sorry again for the rant -.-) I hope that all of you are feeling well and enjoying summer to it's fullest! *hugs tightly*

Have a great day!
