Decided to change my introduction, the last one sounded kind of scary and I have the feeling it was driving people away XD
Well, I'm Olivia and this is my blog. I'm not too good at describing myself but you can get to know me and become my friend if you want to. I like to make wallpapers and vectors in my free time. If you're curious and want to find out more about me, check this page ^_^
My main goal isn't having a lot of downloads on my wallpapers, but providing high quality graphics. I try to credit as much as possible, but if you think I used something of yours without permission, please notify me and we will discuss the matter.
Here's my e-mail address, in case you need it: devlish_pandemonium@yahoo.com. Please don't spam me and please don't add me to your messenger list unless we're good friends (and please, PLEASE tell me who you are here when you add me ^_^)
- Don't steal my graphics a.k.a. remove the credits and/or post them on other sites. If you need something I used, just PM me and I'll tell you where I got it from.
- When signing my guest book, please write more than one line. No "I love your site, I'm addin ya!", please. And absolutely NO "Visit my site!" stuff! I'll ignore these posts (and the posters). Be creative. If you sign my guest book abiding by these rules, I'll visit your site and sign yours :] I might be late signing it, but don't worry, I will sign it.
- Let's get this straight. If you want me as a friend, visit my site and comment on my posts and/or wallpapers. I'm not asking you to comment on each and every one; once in a while is enough :] I don't update too often (once a week at most), so it shouldn't be difficult to come by and leave a comment. If you're busy, I'll understand.
- If you're PM'ing me to complain about something, provide arguments. I won't pay attention to stuff which doesn't make sense.
If you have a question, please read the rules first. If it isn't answered there, feel free to ask me. Please be polite and I will be as well.
You can find my works on these sites:

Hello there everyone, time for another post! Thank you for all the responses on the one about trends, I didn't mention them all but you got the idea.
@SaxGirl: Yeah, I remember there was a Pokemon thing but I haven't seen any trading cards around at that time o_O Everything arrives later here so maybe I didn't notice it.
@Kelsey: I doth not know what is this POG thou talketh about ^_^" Sorry, I might recognize it if you describe it a bit. I've been wearing the same stuff for years and feeling good, too! If anything, I don't follow trends at all. These days, some yellow shoes and clothes are trendy, a crazy shade of yellow. I hate it when stuff I like is trendy, it makes me feel common -_- (not that I like the crazy yellow, I prefer pastel colors)
@Lory: I liked the song too (even though it would be WAY better if sung by Ville Valo -lead singer from H.I.M.- in my opinion). Linkin Park is...I don't know...some kind of "frustrated rock"? I don't really like screaming and their message is always about betrayal and the likes ._. Too negative for my taste.
I predict this post is going to be longer than the others, only the replies took up one third of it!
A few days ago, Mary gave me a book to read. She said she had read it and was very good, so I started reading it. I've finished reading it a few moments ago, it's one of the most interesting books I have ever read; it deals with the problems of a 23-year-old drug addict who tries to give up drugs and alcohol. It's not written in a light-hearted style and I appreciate the realism and the fact that James Frey (author and main character) doesn't conceal things. I recommend it if you're into realistic books :)
For some weird reason, my scanner won't scan the entire cover, so you'll have to make do with this small image ._.
As for films, I haven't really been watching too many lately. I saw Ed Wood and it was enjoyable 
I like Tim Burton's strange way of thinking and he always manages to surprise me! I also saw Casanova; it was funny and romantic, I really needed to see something like that because I haven't seen a romantic comedy in a while ^_^ As for what's next, I'm planning to see Dracula (1992) because it has Anthony Hopkins in it ^^ And Gary Oldman. And Keanu Reeves ^^
Anyway, yesterday night I was up late, since I drank a frappe at about 8 p.m. and couldn't get to sleep to save my life -_-" Besides, it's hot at night and there are a lot of annoying mosquitoes buzzing around which is even more irritating! I just sat at the balcony and looked at the street for half an hour and thought to myself "why do people say the night life in Bucharest is wild?" Really, there were a few cars and some groups of 2-3 guys walking around but that was it! The street my flat faces is not one of the most important but it gets pretty crowded during daytime. Maybe it's only something to attract tourists (as if anyone would want to come here *rolls eyes*)... Is your city also like that? Quieter or noisier than said in the press?
Guess it's all I wanted to say this time, nothing much has happened. I've made a new vector, you can check it out here if you want to, it's dedicated to Saku for her birthday: vector & description. I've also been working on a few wallpaper and vector projects, I hope I can get them done soon... Oh, I almost forgot! I got a new monitor and it's widescreen and I love it! 
My current res is 1440x900 so expect a lot of widescreen walls from me (I usually wall widescreen anyway but now I have an actual reason to!) I'll be changing my theme soon too, so tell me what you think if you see the new one! ^_^ Hope you have a great day, my dear friends!

Well, I wasn't supposed to post so soon (lol, 8 days since the last post) but I was thinking about this yesterday. Sometimes I'm amazed at how easily teens change their point of view and opinions, just because there's a certain trend in their gangs. Personally, I find this degrading -it's quite sad when you look at it, but I suppose it's because of the age. Yup, blame it on the age.
First trend I remember was in primary school (1st-4th grade): Harry Potter. My dad got me the first 3 books for my birthday and I was impatient to get my hands on the 4th one. One day, one of the classmates brought it to school! We were in the 4th grade at that time so we weren't really a united group -that's why he left the book on his desk but wouldn't give it to anyone! He was just showing it off because he knew almost everyone in the class was crazy about Harry Potter (me included, me and a classmate used to "throw spells" at each other during class XD)
Next came secondary school (5th-8th grade): I moved to a different class. Around 6th grade there was a trend with Linkin Park. Everyone LOVED Linkin Park. Then came Dimmu Borgir, Metallica and a few others I can't remember right now.
About the time I got into high school (9th-12th grade), the band Tokio Hotel was famous and had a lot of fans. I don't like their songs, they're not anything special to me, but it seems like many people don't agree with me *sighs* Well, I went to my former school to visit my teachers one day, and what I saw left me jaw-open: a lot of the girls were wearing Tokio Hotel T-shirts! "A lot" means more than half of the girls I saw.
I have no problem with other people liking something I don't, I hate it when people try to shove it in my face and make me like it! For example, I've heard a lot of girls saying "You don't like Bill?! You're so uncool!" to their girl friends and looking at them with disgust (Bill's the lead singer for TH). It's a shame that some don't accept the fact that others have different opinions, it would make life easier for everyone!
Eh, I hope this wasn't too boring, I've been wanting to write about this topic for quite some time now. What about you? I'm sure you've all experienced this "trend mania" at one point or another in your lives. Feel free to share it! Thank you for all the support, my dear friends, and I hope I haven't let you down by not commenting in a while, I'm here to stay! Have a great week!

Wow, I sure am lazy when it comes to updating XD I really am sorry for not posting more but it's the end of the semester and things are chaotic around here. Honestly, why did teachers have to remember we don't have enough grades 2 weeks before school ends?! I don't get it. Of course, I've had at least two test per week since the last time I posted and I also have one tomorrow (Maths =_=").
Surprisingly, I got a 9 on the last Maths test! (10 is the most you can get) When I looked at that paper I thought I was going to have a heart attack! XD Needless to say, I was extremely happy the rest of the day, pushing things a bit further when I said to Nico "Man, this is waaaay better than drugs! This is a mental ORGASM!!" Someone slap me for thinking out loud too often XD No, I don't know shnit about orgasms and haven't taken drugs.
Waii~! I've taken a liking to manga recently, more precisely under-appreciated manga! Maybe some of you don't know this but I feel squeamish whenever I like something, only to discover it's really popular afterwards ._. Must be my disturbed personality. I've begun reading (and liking) titles such as Akuma na Eros, Beast Master and others you can find listed here. Some of them are mature series but I like the storylines (and the bishies!! OMG THE BISHIES!!!1!!11 *fangirlnosebleedfaint*) Just take a look at my avatar if you don't believe me XD You know you want to click... The guy's from Love Strip if you're interested :3

What the Hell is up with the vector?! Well, I've decided to stop walling for a while. I'll stick to vectoring. However, I'll only vector images from less-known series I love, so if you like artwork from Code Geass or Vampire Knight or *insert popular-at-the-moment series name here*, chances are you'll have to look for it somewhere else. By the way, the vector is from Beast Master ^_^
Ah, I've gotten to the end of my post without even paying attention to the title itself o_o That's my line, I made it up this Thursday after History class. The Physics teacher said we could go home after History class (we have an hour of Physics before History and one after it =_=), so we were very happy! Then came the History test (we knew of it) which was absolutely nasty 
Yin and Yang! For a greater good you pay with a suckish event =_=" Damn this philosophy.
And to end this really long rant, I'll say this: I'm really happy because I finally bought A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess! It's the book, and I got it with 3 LEI's (kind of 2 dollars...? I'm not good with currency -_-") cheaper than it would've been via Internet! I can't wait to read it but I have to finish Angels And Insects by Antonia Susan Byatt first.
I hope everyone's doing great, I'll do more visiting next week because I'm too stressed at the moment, having a Maths test tomorrow and a Physics project due on Monday T.T Support is greatly appreciated!! *hugs everyone who gives her support* This bad friend will go cry in her emo corner now because she feels bad for not visiting...
