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~

School, school, school and more school! D: *stabs it*

As you probably already guessed, this post is going to be about my life, which in the last days has become synonymous with school! I don't think I've ever been as busy as I am now! First, there's the term papers. Second, there's a test in History. Third, some pictures I have to edit for an exhibition. And fourth, my own projects which are slowly reaching their (unfair) death.

The term papers. There are 4 in total: Informatics, Romanian, Biology and Maths. That's the order we decided to take them in (which turned out to be from easiest to most difficult) and I've already taken the first 3 ones, so there's only Maths left, next Wednesday. Why did I choose Biology? Well, from Biology, Chemistry and Physics, this one seemed the only way out, since I suck at the other 2 XP The term paper was a lot more difficult than we had expected; we had an problem too, and we never do problems in Biology! Out of 22 people who chose to take the Biology exam, no one solved it, so you can figure how unexpected it was ._.

Next, the History test. Our teacher has been quite nasty towards us for a while, because we didn't want to go to a competition which involves the making of a project (he needed a team made out of 3-4 individuals) and which was optional! He said something along the lines of "Ha, if that's the way you (the class) like it, the I'm not going to be nice to you anymore either". By "nice", he means not accepting any grade-reviving essays a.k.a. no more "free" high marks. I'm one of the lucky ones who got higher marks (I got 7 out of 10); there were some who got 4! And I can't help but feel he's going to be even nastier with this upcoming test >_>

As for those pictures I have to edit, they're landscapes of different places (Dublin, London etc.) that I have to edit for this exhibition coming up. Basically, they're raw images that need to be turned into panoramas (by stitching them together) or that look awkward (lighting, angles). They've been taking up a lot of my time recently, but I got myself into this by volunteering to do it ^^" That's right, it's for free. And I don't get to see my name on those pics either (which I think is fair, since I agree with only the photographer's name being shown). I'm more of the "shady editor" XD But it's nice to see the photos you edited being put on a wall and people admiring them! ^___^ *feels all warm and fuzzy inside*

Ah, the PS projects. Since the panorama thing, I've grown to dislike PS >_> Never thought it would come to this. But yeah, I had to force myself to finish some older projects and newly-started ones, like a Princess Tutu wallpaper - I'll upload it here too, later. I also had time to make a layout for my Minitokyo page . And just for the fun of it, here are more avatars. They're all from Benjamin's artwork:

Ah, I just can't wait to get rid of the Maths term paper~! I have to study for a lot this weekend so I don't know if I'll be able to comment on a lot of stuff, but I did get to some of you ^__^ *proud of self* Anyway, I hope your weekend is better than mine! *hugs* See you next time!

OMG I'm still alive!

Hello~! Thank you, my dears, for the comments! <3 The last post was too long for its own good, so this one's going to be shorter than usual. I'll have something up on the Creative Paradox world soon; trust me, it's not dead yet. And I won't bother changing the theme there since not many people see it and it can be left up there for a while longer XD

More avvies! Click on them to go to the respective pages and see more avvies from those series (except the first one, that's only one).

School-wise, this Thursday was a parent-teacher conference Yay. One big yay. This time, I had the courage to tell my parents I had gotten a 3 in Maths (usually I wait for a it until I get a higher mark and then kinda balance them -it always ends up like this) and this time they didn't find out from the teacher :D Yay. I know, I'm stupid and a coward, sue me T_T Now I have to attend extra classes of Maths, though I was supposed to attend them anyway, since next year's a very important and difficult exam and I have to start preparing in time *dies* At least they're going to be on a Thursday, when I have easier classes -if it were on Tuesday, I would've run away from home: I have 7 different classes then *dies again*

Anyway, moving on to a lighter subject, I'm happy my mom isn't angry at me and didn't take my monitor away (again) - that happened a few years ago :D She even bought me something today! Something pretty expensive, but which is worth the money: a book about Adobe Illustrator CS2! It has everything and I'll be using it, since I'm dumb and it took me a few weeks to realize how to switch between the tools in the Tool Palette DX I'm dumb. It cost around $31 but I'm happy because I managed to get the last one, the rest were torn and old. Now, just gotta start learning

That's about it for today, I won't be on as much because I have to study for school, Maths and (probably) English because I have a friggin' Cambridge exam coming up and it scared the living daylights out of me XD Kidding, it didn't scare me that much, but I'm not resting assured either. *cough* Since Saku is so sweet, she allowed me Guest Poster status on her Avatars & Icon Bases world, so you'll see some icons/bases from me soon Take care and have a great weekend, everyone! *hugs*

I don't have any ideas for a good title, so...

Hey everyone! Thank you for the kind comments, I'm feeling better now and visited more people ^_^ I've also started a few new projects, but I'm too lazy to take screenshots of all of them and I'll just present this Sailor Neptune image I'm vectoring (just so you know, the original image is bigger; it was over 1 MB so PB resized it -_-). I was reading a wallpaper's description on AP and it mentioned a Sailor Moon site, Dreaming Moon. Of course, I went on a rampage and downloaded 70+ of images I want to vector >_<" There are some pretty ones I haven't seen before and I want to vector them! <3 Needless to say, I won't be vectoring all of them, some will be kept only for avatars and such.

The weather's been weird here, it has been cloudy outside since Friday. The strange thing is that it was fine and a little too warm on Friday, until noon; it the evening, the sky was cloudy and it started raining -_- Now, a sudden drop of 5 degrees isn't pleasant, especially if you're sick (like I am). So now, instead of wearing T-shirts and shorts, I have to wear trousers and jumpers >_> It's not that bad, I'm tired of high temperatures, but it's awkward...

Anyway, school's starting tomorrow! I don't wanna go!! ;_; I wanna stay home and vegetate and watch movies and sleep XD And that shrew of a head teacher mocked us yesterday and told us the timetable. NOO!! And it's pretty nasty too. Sure, we're still studying in the afternoon, so that means no waking up and freezing on the streets at 7 a.m., which is good. But having 4 classes of Computer Science or however it's called in one day is torture! T_T And the last 2 classes on Friday are Physics! *begins to dig her own grave* Keep in mind that when the classes start at 1:30 p.m. (Wednesday and Thursday), I have 6 classes and when they start at 12:30 p.m. (the rest), I have 7 classes. However you put it, I ain't getting off earlier than 7:30 p.m. everyday T_T And I still have 2 classes of Chemistry/week, but at least there'll be only one class of Biology (yuck). And did I mention the 6 classes of Maths/week?! *stabs self repeatedly with butcher's knife*

*sigh* Sorry, but I felt like screaming out loud when I heard about it. Unfortunately, it was 10 p.m., so no scream therapy for me *sulks*

Um, I've also noticed a lot of Vampire Knight works these days, it's really popular now. I read part of the manga but gave up because I couldn't distinguish the male characters o_O They all look the same to me. Oh, and let's not forget Code Geass! I personally like C.C. because she's green-haired (green is <3) and wears a lot of cute outfits. But why do girls love Lelouch so much? I'm not picking on anyone now, I'd honestly like to be told why people are so obsessed over him! And Sasuke.

Oh well, better not end this on a sad note. I made some avatars from some images and I might make a wallpaper soon too:

That's about it, thank you for the visit and comments, I appreciate it ^_^ *hugs* And since school's starting tomorrow, I won't have too much time on my hands, so sorry if I don't comment on everything you post/submit, it's not my fault! *bows* I do hope I'll be able to not fall behind though ^_^ Bye bye and see you next time, hope you're all doing great!
