Holiday Blues

Even though it’s the holidays, I still feel tired and busy. Like the accumulated work that I have been putting behind until school ends keeps increasing and I am unable to find enough time to complete them.

Not to mention I have been working my ass off at the restaurant to earn extra money since I am financially low at the moment.

Other than all these miserable blues, I still have things that I have been enjoying. I’ve been busy making fanlistings as well as icons. After completing a fanlisting or a batch of icons, I get this sense of satisfaction that is hard to describe.

One may say that it’s a total waste of time and it doesn’t benefit me in anyway.

But to me, it means a lot of things.

I would love to work, but I can’t find any! So I’m practically just doing nothing almost everyday. BORING.

I would never say that its a total waste of time to make fanlistings as well as icons. Icons are fun to make, and to make a fanlisting requires lots of work.

Ugh I understand about not making enough money. It’s so stressful!

Oh I am thrilled over the Liz Parker Icons! Just fantastic!


Thank you! :) It was my very first batch of icons (I’ve no previous experience in icon-making) and I’m glad you like them :D

I completly understand. There really is no reason for me to even keep a blog yet doing so gives this feeling of satisfaction.

I believe that it’s OK to do things that may seem like a waste of time. Sometimes you just need to take time out of a busy school day and have fun!! :)

If doing something makes you happy, then do it and don’t care what others might think. Designing and making graphics always helps me to relax from my busy schedule.

Your site is gorgeous!

I get that tired and busy feeling… most from school. So much to do and accomplish and such…. Also, I should get a job. I always feel bad when I have to ask my parents money. I should be independent and whatnot. But I shall see. Anyways. It’s awesome you’ve made fanlistings and icons! I should start updating my site more often. O___o


Thank you! :)

I’m just bored out of my mind a lot lately! I wish I can have a busy life like you! That’s cause I’m unemployed and going to school a day a week.

We all have different things we enjoy doing. Just do what you gotta do :)

I don’t think making icons is a waste of time. ;) If it makes you happy then of course it’s not a waste of time.

I love the icons (or the teasers anyway… I’m at work and can’t download them :(). All your work at the restaurant will pay off once you’ve got all that cash :)

I always procrastinate like you and I have got a job now, too. It’s really difficult doing both! Keep making icons though to relax because it’s nice sitting down making graphics when you’ve been busy all of the time. Your icons are really cool by the way. I wish that I could make them!

Man, you are as cuckoo as I am when it comes to making icons lol I updated twice in the same week as well lol

Working sucks. I have to say that now. I am thankful for my job but it does get old and make you run down. But the money is wonderful =)

I love making Fanlistings and Icons and for those that don’t make them it is hard to understand how fun it really is to make them and see the result and just be proud. And the one thing is you always improve with what you are doing, I just love it. :D

Ohh fanlistings are fun to do, I’m currently working on one myself. It does make one feel good when people take interest and join. Ohh I love icons. Yours are really nice. Hey girl, thanks so much for visiting my site. It is much appreciated.

I agree. I’m actually living with someone who doesn’t under stand that designing is my get away. When I’m at hard times I make the best design at it cheers me up. It may seem dorky but it’s true.

Sure it does. It’s like miniature pieces of art! I am doing the same thing about homework..I keep putting it off and the assignments keep pilling up. Will it ever end? Hopefully by the time it does, I will have ended my own laziness. I prefer to work on fun projects, and papers get to be last on my list of things to do.

I was on spring break last week and I completely put off all my homework. It meant that I’ve been staying up late finishing them. Plus, tennis season started which makes me even busier! I hope you get everything accomplished!

Of course making icons gives you a sense of pride. Their your own artwork and you should feel proud about them.
