Updated crew page; stupid Geocities
was being screwy again today-- couldn't upload via FTP hardly.
Hope I can now...
Heh. Now i'm letting some more
people I know in real life see my site. It worries me... I don't really like the
idea of mixing of my two lives.
Why? Because some people just don't get it-- not their
fault, they just cannot understand. *cough-cough*
Oh well; don't have much more
to say-- still working on Kimm's... which I like doing... ;-)
Adieu,
~Theeaira EirOrtallius

Been woring on this big redesign
project for Kimmeree... lots o' work, believe me. Yeah, I know,
I need to get some junk up here. Sorry, this thing is just taking
up like 99% of my creative energy. Heh. ;-)

Had a great birthday-- thanks
too all those people who said happy b-day to me! So nice of yall...
Now I've got all these books I gotta read. Actually, i just go
two books for my birthday, but, well... One of them is the third
book in this trilogy-- i've been waiting for years(earth time;
and no exaggeration when I say years) for this book to
come out. It's called The
Amber Spyglass(click to go to it on Amazon.com;
at one time it was #22 on their bestseler list; now it's #50
though), by Philip Pullman; part of the His Dark
Materials trilogy(Including The Golden Compass and The
Subtle Knife) home of the best books I've ever read. My all
time faves. Anyways, because it was so long ago when I read these
books, I've got to reread them before I can read the third one
I just got. In addition, my cool friend, "Ranazzio",
gave me the latest VC Andrews book, which I really wanna read,
but I can't until I finish the trilogy, and I can't do that until
I finish this book I have to read for school, so all of a sudden
I have all this reading to do! Blaugh, I'm blabbering. Oh well
;-)
Ack I can't worth crap right
now; excusez-mon typos, si'l vous plaît. (hope I spelt
that all right).
Anyway, real reason I'm typing--
got an account at Side 7,
the artist archive. They are mainly an, um, furry/anime artist
site, but they do have a misc. category, and they didn't say
I couldn't get an account there, so I guess it's no problem 'cause
I don't do furry nor anime art. I went to Side 7 after I saw
two friends', Kimmeree and Munora(gotta give them credit), of
mine accounts; and since Geocities has a tendancy to be screwy
every now and then, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to have
a back-up art gallery. I'm only uploading personal favorite pics
to Side 7, or pics I got comments on, but still...
Okie, updated links page, added
side7 buttons everywhere-- I know I need something new in the
Art Gallery again... oh blaugh.
11/4/2000 3:19pm*
Welpers(I love the variations
I use of this word...), today is my offical birthday! How old
am I? One-hundred-and-two-point-six. Yep. No, seriously, I'm
kidding. Heh-heh. This is something Rachel (The Real Rachel)
so kindly made me today-- Thanks Rach!:
Ain't she nice?! Thanks
again girl! ;-)
10/27/2000 6:47pm*
Welpie, here's the dealie: I'm
quite proud of myself 'cause I been(Yes I mean "I been",
not "I have been"-- just being stupid with some
slang... ;-) workin' on dose things I wrote down last time below
dis entry thang.
*cough-cough, back to normal
english* I've been redesigning Kimm's site, and making the main
pic for it, and I took the new pic that I was stuck on and kinda
pieced it with Kimm's main page pic. He-he. Still can't work
on art committee page though; various things keep coming up that
I have to wait on-- oh well-- at least I'm getting something
done.
Ah yes-- I posted the following
on Kimm's mb the other day so that people wouldn't be insanely
bored when they read the mb. There's like a spelling error in
the end(Ortalllius=EirOrtallius-- can't even spell my own bloody
last name...), but hey, I was working on it late! Anyway, here
it is, don't steal it, it's just a movie. The picture is from
apple.com the kewl people
who made my iMac. Took me forever to find that old iMac pic in
there... anyway, don't try and sue me 'cause Apple said I could
use their pics as long as I don't try to make $$ off them. So
here it is; enjoy:
~Thee (Mrs. Strawberry iMac)
he he heeeeee...
10/22/2000 12:56pm*
Well, haven't done anything to
the site, but I still have today and tomorrow(three-day weekend:
yippi!) so perhaps I will do something then.
Things I am sorta working on:
- Old pic I've been messing with
for months... can't find anything to do with it!
- New pic-- I'm sorta stuck on
this one too.
- Project: art committee page.
At a standstill because I don't have a name to work with(it's
just "the art committee), and I'm still waiting on would-be
members to turn applications in.
- Project: Redesign Kimm's site.
Also stalled, because I'm waiting on would-be art committee members
to turn their stuff in, which will help set the design look of
the page...
Obviously, I have lots to do,
I'm just stuck on them all. *shrug* I'll attempt to become un-stuck
today & tomorrow.
Tis all for now, adieu!
~Thee (stuck)
PS: Oh yeah, I sorta forgot,
Tierra, my one and currently
only offical sister site, has just redesigned her place again.
I love it, I'm so jealous! It's just easy to get around, has
real purpose, all that good stuff. Everytime she redesigns she
makes me want to redesign my place, yah know? I'm currently sorting
through some new design ideas... hmmm...
10/14/2000 3:20pm*
Okie, I messed around with the
Art Gallery a little, and made it an entrance page. I also went
through my site and updated the GreyDay 2000 images, so now they
are GreyDay 2001 images. I'll probably do some more site work
throughout this weekend.
~Thee
10/10/2000 1:28am*
New pic: Conversation.
Another abstract one; boy have I been in an abstract mood lately.
Oh well; at least I'm making pics, right? I can't be picky and
choosey, I just have to let the imagination flow to my head.
That's it for now, other than I really need to update my little
GreyDay button things.
~Theeaira
10/5/2000 11:16pm*
Alright, I can receive e-mail
again, yippi, so feel free to drop me a line. I also uploaded
comments about my latest pic, livelearnchatdie; thanks
to everyone who commented on it.
Below is a message I posted on
Kimm's mb. I kinda messed up the mb accidently the first time
I posted it, as in it deleted(or rather, made invisible) everyone
else messages. So I tried to repost them, and finally, after
several tests on my message board, I posted the following:
8/24/2000 4:54pm*
Bonjour! Well, I do have a bit
of good news. I may be able to receive a new graphic program
this weekend(note to those unfamiliar to Earth-- "weekend"
refers to the last two days of 7-day week). Of course, I am very
excited, and I hope that there will not be any delay in me getting
the software. I am anxious to get back to work; I miss making
graphics and I have three requests which I need to fulfill. Not
to mention, the Art Gallery needs something new...
In other news, I am have been
attending my annual Earthly classes. Each year the TEA(Tourism
Eir Adriusxite) pays for me to go to this planet and brush up
on my tour-guiding skills and learn about the new technology
being introduced to the TEA. I also spend time studying the planet
itself. I'm guessing the main reason I'm sent to this planet,
and not another, is that most of the tourists who visit Adriusxite
are supposedly from Earth. Don't hold me to that fact; I'm not
sure of the statistics. That's just what I've gathered from being
a tour guide-- the majority of my tourists come from Earth(that's
why all of the times I use on this site are noted as being "Earth
time"). Anyway...
Well, guess that's all for now...
cannot think of anything else to say. I certainly hope I can
get some new software over the weekend! Adieu!
~Thee (wants some software!!)
8/8/2000 9:59pm*
New set design: "Star Fiction"
in Design
section. Started it last week; finished it today half-heartedly...
feeling a bit depressed about my graphic program screwing up.
I was looking at some software by Adobe(which is what I've been
doing these past few weeks). Began feeling really really down
after looking at the prices... $609 for this, $399 for that...
BUT, some good news, I did find a sorta "better" and
more complicated version of my graphics program for only $95,
and I can get an upgrade for $75 bucks! Not nearly as much dough,
and it's probably good that I get this software before trying
to buy the more expensive stuff(which must be extrememly complicated
software). This one guy said he'd used the same software I had
for over a year and after getting the $95 version, he fell in
love with it. Okie, I know you have absolutely no idea what I'm
talking about, so I'll conclude with saying I might be able to
buy this new sofware in a month's time, or at least before October.
I'm hoping I can make enough money by then...
Adieu,
~Thee
8/8/2000
Alrighty, I have some bad news.
My graphic program is... screwing
up on me.
Remember how I said that while
I was making my last pic the eraser stopped functioning properly(see
Blaugh Archives, 7/24/2000)?
Well, a few days ago, the brush stopped working. It's only getting
worse. I am so sad. I dunno what to do. I've read the files,
added more memory, tried to fix it... I have been searching the
internet desperately trying to find something, but anything useful
costs money(of course!!) which I do not have, unfortunately.
And school is starting back-- don't have money for that either...
blaugh. I am so broke. This so sucks. I predicted it would happen
some day. I remember thinking "I dread the day when my graphic
software totally screws up on me and I am left stranded."
That day has arrived.
What am I to do?
I will try to finish the pic
I am currently working on but... I have no brush! I am just waiting
for all my other tools to fail on me. Just waiting. *sigh*
Yours sadly,
~Thee
Ps. I would like to thank Rachel
(The REAL Rachel) and Agent X for helping me try to find some
new software on the internet.
8/3/2000
Okieeeee... updated Thee's Crew
page today. Here is what I'm currently working on:
- New set design
- Pic for a group of people
- Pic for an individual person
That's about it for right now,
I guess. Hmm. Why don't have a whole lot to say? I used to be
able to just go on and on about all sorts of stuff. Hmmm... Did
you know they have come out with a whole new line of iMacs again??
Amazing-- I've only had my iMac for thirteen months, and they've
come out with two new lines since then. That's okie; I still
love my old Strawberry iMac with all my heart. I don't want a
new one right now. What I really want is some software! ;-)
~Theeaira (Mrs. Strawberry iMac)
;-)
7/30/2000 1:04am*
Got an about me page up, updated
Crew page. That's all for now.
July

7/29/200 5:55pm*
Gues what? Design
page is up and running! Only got two sets right now, but I'll
try and work on some more. Adieu ;-)
~Thee
7/29/2000 3:28pm*
Finally! The pic that I've been
spending the past few weeks on is complete! The name of it is
Design's Reign, and it's like a sequel
to the Daughter of Design(the pic of
the girl with blue hair on the entrance page) and the renovated
Adriusxite pic... I didn't mean to make it that way. That's pretty
bad; all three of my last pieces are related. Oh well; I'm proud
of Design's Reign, it's my first full person digital.
Comments
you have on it are welcome, or any comments at all. I love comments;
they are very enlightening.
I'm still working on the Design
page. The problem is I don't have a design for it. That's ironic;
I don't have a design for the design page... *laughs* I'll mess
around with that today now that I've finished my pic...
Alrighty; that's all for now
kiddos. Have a nice afternoon ;-)
~Thee (proud of her latest pic!)
7/26/2000
Updated Thee's Crew. Here is
what I am currently working on:
- One pic for me(that I've been
working for about 2 weeks now)
- One pic for someone else(working
on for three days)
- Design page(working on for 3
weeks)
Here is what I want to work on
as soon as complete one or move of the above:
In other news, Geocities is still
giving me problems every now and then, depending on the day or
time or whatever mood it is in. If you run into any "broken"
links or images, this is not my fault, okie? The html is correct,
its just that GC is being a bit screwy at the moment. I suggest
you try the url again, or refresh the page. You'd be surprised
how often that helps. Sometimes it takes a few times for the
url to work, but eventually it does... most of the time.
7/24/2000 12:38am*
Okie, good thing is GeoCities
seems to be working fine now, though I was having difficulties
earlier today.
Guess what? My crew page is back
up, and redesigned. If you would like to see how idiotic my crew
is, just go to the Other portion of
my site(which has been updated) and just click on Thee's
Crew(or, of course you could just click from here, which
would be much easier, no duh... ;-) but whatever you prefer...
Still working on this one pic.
I have run into a major problem: my eraser in my graphics program
doesn't work. That is really NOT GOOD. I mean, it will erase,
sorta. For example, if I have a black line I wish to erase, my
eraser will only make the black line grey. *sigh* This really
bites. I wish I knew what was wrong... I wish I could get some
new software. Unfortunately, I do not have any money, and I have
no means of getting any either. Man... If you have any suggestions
as to how I might obtain some cash, please contact me. I'll listen
to anything; I'm desparate... wait, NO! I'm not going to do THAT
for money! You are so sick, you have such a sick mind... What?
You don't know what I'm talking about? Oh, well then, nevermind;
don't worry about it.
;-)

***PLEASE READ***
Some of my pages cannot be accessed
at this time. Geocities, the people who provide space for my
site, is having technical difficulties. The errors you see are
NOT caused by me. If you click on something and it doesn't take
you there, it's because of Geocities. I'm sorry to say that there
is nothing I can do about it at this time, but sit back and wait
helplessly.
~(A very angery Thee)
7/21/2000 9:48am*
I'm actually up early this morning,
for I retired to bed early in the evening, for I had not recieved
enough sleep the previous night. Anyway...
Going to try and do some site
work today. Been working on a new pic for the past week. Will
update you later today if I have anything new on the site. Adieu,
sorry this is so short.
~Thee
7/15/2000 1:35am*
Hmmm... what do I have to say?
Anything, useful, intelligent, or at least interesting? Unfortunately
not. Did I learn anything today? *thinks* I must have learned
something... something... come on, think Thee... well
um I... I searched for some writing contests in cyberspace...
Couldn't find any helpful, non-confusing ones, though. *shrug*
I'm becoming rather tired at the moment. Spent most of the early
evening(about 9pm to 1am*) playing a comp game. Not done with
it yet either. My eyes started hurting, and I started feeling
sore from the way I was sitting. Still feel sore. My mind says
"Get some sleep, Thee. Go to bed early tonight." But
I don't feel like it for I do not have anything interesting to
think of. I suppose that my bedtime is my thinking-time. I reflect
on the day, consider some stuff, daydream... hmmm... hmm... Did
you know that "hmmm..." is perhaps my favorite word?
"Gosh Thee, really? Isn't that something!" Ack,
I am going insane 'cause I'm tired. *yawn* Maybe I will go to
bed. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe... maybeeeee... zzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzz....
7/13/2000 3:54pm*
Hey hey hey. Went out there and
found two more sites I wanted to support: Web Prestige &
Faded Tapestries; sites that explain copyrights and say to download
the graphics that you recieve permission to use... I rearranged
the bottom of the page a bit to accomidate the new banners. Also
updated Sites page. If I keep
finding more sites to support before too long I'll have to make
a sites page2; a separate place to put all those little buttons
and stuff. I can't help wanting to support all these sites...
as I was telling Tierra in an e-mail, I'm paranoid. I live in
constant fear that someone out there is taking my graphics. It's
scary. Hey, don't laugh at me!!
Oh yeah, speaking of Tierra...
here is my iMac song I am working on(ooh that rhymes! I'll put
that in there):
This is Theeaira's iMac song,
That she is graciously working
on.
It's a ballad of love, a ballad
of life,
A ballad that states:
Stab PC's with a knife!
She loves her iMac more than
she could a man,
It doesn't have one, but it gives
her a hand.
In life, through strife, it's
always there,
Through messy clothes and unfixed
hair.
"IMACS ARE EVIL!!!!"
Tierra stated,
Apparently, it was Macs she hated.
"Do not talk badly of my
my fiancee!"
Responded Thee, in an angry way.
"If nuns can be married
to something they've never seen,
Why on Earth,
Can I not marry a machine?"
Heh-heh heh...
Okie, besides singing songs about
my iMac, I've been working on the design page... some stuff doesn't
look too bad right now. I say it'll probably be up in... what's
today? In Earth time? Wednesday? Right, today is Wednesday...
um, I say it'll be up in a week perhaps. Unless something comes
up. Enough for now kiddos. Adieu.
~Thee (insane iMac lover)
7/13/2000 4:30am*
I was about to totally lose it
when I was working on my site tonight and I did something to
cause my iMac to just shut down.
For some reason the letters I
typed on the keyboard didn't show up on the screen. I'd seen
this before, though it was very unusual because that was the
third time it had happened that night. I just unplugged the keyboard
and went to plug it back in and *poof*. Off goes my iMac. My
first thought was that the plug that goes into my comp had messed
up. It's right back against the wall, my desk is tiny, so it
gets rather crammed... Well, I plugged the keyboard back in,
started it up, and waited while it self-repaired itself after
being shut off so quickly. I hit the enter key when it was done,
and nothing. I tried the mouse. Nothing. I unplugged and replugged
in the keyboard and still nothing. I was getting worried. I turned
it off and carefully moved the fifty-pound machine onto my bed,
where I blew air into the connector thingies to get some possible
dust out. Slowly I brought it back over my tiny desk, and after
some brief problems with plugging the powercord and keyboard
back in, I started it up.
By now I was panicky. What if
I totally screwed up my comp? If I lost my iMac I would lose
more than a machine; I would lose a life. A life where I had
my own place, and I could be myself(which was somebody else compared
to the real-life me), and I was surrounding by caring people
and could never be physically harmed. My iMac was like the gates
to heaven, perhaps the only heaven that actually existed. I could
feel my eyes get tearry as I stared into the screen waiting for
a chance to test it out. A second later, I moved the mouse around.
The cursor echoed my moves. The startup was smooth, and I rejoiced
as my iMac performed the simple computer tasks that I take for
granted every day. Boy did that give me a scare.
Okie, why did I go and say all
that? I suppose to show that I greatly value my iMac. Hah-hah.
Anyway, I spent half the night
trying to configure a counter. I found out it wasn't working
'cause I kept configuring the wrong counter for the wrong page.
Took me a million mess-ups to realize this. Nice going, Thee.
Added Blaugh
archive, and started Comments
page-- still accepting any comments you have about Adriusxite...
contact me. Please. E-mail is nice. I'm getting kinda tired now...
us people on Adriusxite need to sleep too, yah know. Alrighty...
have a nice night. Or day. Whatever.
~Thee (loves her Strawberry iMac)
7/12/2000 12:50am*
Added Desert Rose midi. I thought
it would be perfect for Adriusxite... a little techno, but very
beautiful
and moving; it seems to have a soul. I must say that that song
is on my Immortal list(sort of a favorites
list for me; things that are so amazing they cannot be Earthly
or mortal). Not too many things meet the
requirements for this. Do you have an Immortal list? Is there
a song, a picture, or person that leaves
you breathless whenever you hear, see, or encounter them? Just
something to think about.
In other news... already getting
some good reviews on my new design... I'll have a page up soon
with
all their comments and stuff. Hopefully.
~Thee
7/11/2000
Ah yes, this is the Blaugh section
of my site... for over a year it's had its own page, but I chose
to move
my blaughs to Opri during the redesigning process, since most
of the text I type on that page tends to
be about what I've updated and stuff.
In case you haven't noticed,
I REDESIGNED MY SITE! The whole thing... I swear it took me forever!
I
have never spent so much time on redesigning; previous designs
took less than two weeks to
complete. I started in late May(Earth time). I planned to make
this one pic and base Adriusxite's new
design on it. Unfortunately, I ran into a few obstacles, but
eventually the "Daughter of Design" was
complete, and I could start on the real designing and making
graphics for Adriusxite. I renovated
everything, either that or got rid of it. It feels good to start
fresh, I must say that. I have done some
major organizing. The major pages, About Adriusxite(Intro), Art
Gallery, Design, Other, & Guestbook
should easy to access on the navigation thingies found throughout
this site(ex on below this Blaugh).
The minor pages, Sites, Awards, and other stuff to come in the
future, are found on the Other page.
If you click on the Design link,
you'll notice that it's not quite ready yet. I have decided to
start designing
graphics, offically, for sites other than my own. Once I get
some more ideas, and make some more
graphics, I'll set that page up. You have to understand that
all redesigning has worn my brain out. I
don't even sleep at night any more-- I sleep during the day ;-)
Let me give my brain some rest, okie, at
least for a day or two...
Okie, by the time you read this
Blaugh I will have my whole site uploaded and hopefully working,
but as
for me right now, I have to do some uploading and deleting and
testing. That's the hardest part... one
tiny mistake could screw up the entire planet. That's what happened
last time... I forgot to type a url in
my navigation thingies and it screwed it all up; I was unable
to really fix it either. *sigh* Well, here goes,
hope I don't run into any major errors...
Adieu, hope you like the new
design! Questions, comments, or any errors you find are welcome;
please
e-mail me!
