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: exploring.the.infinity@gmail.com.
I've kind of stopped commenting on artwork. You'll still see me around, but only on better-than-average works. Why? Simply because I've been in the graphics "business" for some time and now I have higher standards than before; also, most of the works here are similar and I've grown tired of giving the same advice, over and over again. Sorry, but you'll only see a comment of mine if I like your work.

My very own personal rules:

• No stealing my graphics! If you need something I used, just PM me and I'll tell you where I got it from.
• No guest-book one-liners, "I love your site, I'm addin ya!" or "Visit my site!" stuff! I'll ignore these posts (and the posters). Be creative.
• Me your friend = you comment on my stuff (posts and artwork). 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.
• Moderation: I handle gallery items mainly (wallpapers, to be specific), so if you've spotted some misplaced gallery items leave me a comment or a PM and I'll move them ^_^

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.

Learn of my awesomeness~

First off, a lot of thanks to everyone who commented on my vector post and my H2O card~! ^^ *bows* I really appreciate it! I might submit an H2O card later on and a new wallpaper (from Clannad), which you can see here (too lazy to submit it now). I made it yesterday and, well, you'll see more details when I submit it here ^^

As for school, it hasn't been too bad up to this point. The new Chemistry teacher -now we have only one "basic" class of Chem/week and the other is an extra, called "Chemistry in Health and Beauty", with a different teacher- is nice and she sent us the course via IM I never expected a Chem teacher to have a messaging program! The Spanish teacher also told us that we're going to have Spanish as the first class, next year, on Monday and Friday. Next year we'll be studying in the morning (around 7:30 a.m.) and I don't wanna start out with Spanish Oh well, I suppose it's better than Chem or Physics!

Through some unknown alignment of the planets (and other astrological mumbo-jumbo), me and Nico are now sitting in the front desk! Last year (and the year before) we sat at the third desk and it was great, because we could sleep, laugh and read books without being disturbed by the teachers (when the classes were boring, of course, and not during important subjects). Now we have to pay attention all the time and we can't even yawn without being seen! Not to mention the classroom's small (the smallest in the entire high school, no kidding!) and we're all crowded. I feel like I'm in a box, the room's shaped like a cube! >_<"

Um, what else to say... I have the same Romanian L&L teacher from last year, and the same teacher of English. They're both boring as Hell and I barely manage to stay awake during their classes. How is it that something as interesting as literature becomes so boring when they teach it?! Yesterday, the teacher of English told us that we were to get the "Advanced Gold" course book, instead of the "Proficiency" one. The day before, almost all voted for "Proficiency", but who cares about democracy? -_-" This is because we're going to take the CAE (I forgot what it stands for) in May or June and we need a book. Then she said the classes weren't going to be fun like before, but serious. AS IF they were ever fun >_> After that, she asked us if we were willing to become serious students and then assumed we were, since we looked so serious. Apparently, asleep=serious, 'cause that's how we were ._.

This is getting too long and boring... On the light stuff side, I'm reading "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov now. It's enjoyable and I understand how the main (male) character feels like -that does NOT make me a pedophile -_-" - and I wanna see the movie too! As for more artsy stuff, here are some new avvies I made ^^

OK, so I don't really agree with smoking, but there are people who smoke and I wanted to make something different. No discrimination! (Plus I like the way it turned out).
I'm also working on a new vexel, just because I like to torture myself :3 This is the image I'm working with (hopefully I'll get it done by Christmas -__-"); I chose it because I liked the autumn-y colors :3

Thank you again for visiting and sorry for not being able to keep up with the notifications! They pile up and sometimes I don't have time to check them all >_< Sorry for the long post, you know me: I disappear for a while, then come back with a huge post! *hugs everyone* Hope you have a great week and that school's not too hard on ya!

Just say it in broken English...

OK, I promised on my last post that I would post some of my anime OP/ED/songs, and the time has come! I don't have a lot, and most of these are from anime I haven't seen, but I like most of them and I hope you will, too!

The reason I'm not posting a lot about myself is that nothing much happens. i watch movies, go out with friends and work in PS ._. Not a very exciting life. Last stuff I watched were: Shutter (2004), The Descent and an episode of Lost. This is probably going to sound strange, but I laughed all the time throughout Shutter. It's your typical Asian horror flick, where a guy is haunted by the ghost of the girl. You've seen it all if you've seen The Grudge or The Ring. I've honestly had enough of ghost girls and such, I won't be watching an Asian horror film for a looong time ._.

Alas, a complaint paragraph had to exist, right? Sometimes I feel that some of the works on Minitokyo don't really deserve the...hype they get. Like some vectors getting into the Elite Gallery... I won't name anyone, but let's say that if I made one of the vectors that is currently in the EG, I bet it wouldn't get there. I work hard on my vectors and sometimes it's just unfair to see them ignored... I don't have connections around that place, like others do, so I try to rely only on my skills. It's just that most of the time people prefer to view the works of popular people.

Anyway, let's end this post on a cheerful note :) I made another vector! This time it's a screenshot and it didn't take too long, but it was in my Projects folder and I'm glad I finished it! I have a lot of screenshots on the line and a lot of pics from Let's Make Forbidden Love, this manga I've started reading yesterday :3

I'm currently lacking subjects to discuss in my Creative Paradox, so I'd appreciate it if you can give me tips ^^ I was thinking of writing reviews of anime series I've seen and posting them there, how does that sound?
And one more question before I go: if you could/wanted to write a book/story, what would you write about?
My answer: tee hee, it'd probably be an adventure novel ^^ I've tried to write it (wrote 3 chapters), but I'm not too good at illustrating emotions via writing. Maybe I'll be a film director! *daydreams*
Well, that's it. Stay tuned for more from me! (lol) Thank you, everyone who comes by and leaves a comment, it means a lot to me!
