My typing was different and I didn't use silly noobish words and my graphics improved...

I used to hate replying to topics because I'm scared of being attacked
  Yeah I'm paranoid.

JULIA AND CANDICE.  Well Julia was here not too long ago. I haven't seen her back much, though.  I didn't realize you were that old of a member until this post (then I looked at when you joined).

Haha well I'm sorry if I'm an intruder into all these sad (and good?) memories, but maybe sometimes it's better to have been on cB for a bit longer than some of us. I mean I, for example, feel that sometimes I am a little behind because I just arrived at cB with all the inside jokes and so on. Maybe reliving some of the bad memories may not be a great idea, but I'm sure there are plenty of good memories as well.
I, for one, are jealous that you've all managed to maintain your various cB friendships for years! :] Sorry for intruding, I joined only a month ago and I realise it doesnt make me a cB veteran quite yet..;D |

I think the weird thing is, I didn't change THAT much. I have really changed outside the forums, but not the way I type or generally view life. The one thing that changed a lot was, I was sooo much more helpful and nice. Incidentally, I was viewing the first two pages of my posts and then I saw this thread. Most of the posts were in xanga help, back when I was the "expert" in xanga. I was so much nicer...to the point where it did seem kind of fake, but I was (and still am) still just being what I normally was.
And I was in eighth grade too O_o. That strikes me as surprising because I'm about to be a junior. Oh and I was into the whole Blogring vs. Xangans thing, and I didn't really ever bash on blogring. I was trying to be neutral. And I kept on posting in February Xanga of the Month but I couldn't decide so I kept on just complimenting xanga sites. I think if it was the cB now, there would be a thread for discussion and a thread for voting. Also I loved going to forum games. The idea of sandbox isn't so appealing to me anymore though. But that's how Jordan (Inc) and Ashley (azn kyootie) met and then...I met ashley so I knew Jordan and they were both cool and I loved talking to them. And for layouts, I have only submitted two and only one got accepted. It's funny because the one that got denied was actually the one I liked more. That's why I never submitted the xanga layout I have now, which has been there for over a year. If anyone remembers that cool cool cool blend I made (really it's a cool blend), that's the one I made into a layout. Anyway, that xanga layout was called "transportation" and that was when I was kind of cool with everyone. So I posted my accepted layout in chat and everyone was like "sharie it's so cool I love it so much!" and blahblahblah. Geez this makes me think of a lot of things I have had here. Which was a lot. It's about 3 months and it's my three year anniversary here. Pretty cool. Sometimes I wonder why and how I still come back here after three years. |

I won't bombard you with worthless newbie questions just here, my little 'intro' page is for all my anxious questions, I'll think I'll retreat there, haha... Meanwhile, feel free to laugh at my rather...pompous (to say the least? lol) speech up there and I'll be leaving then. Have a great time...reliving old cB memories. :]] |

I haven't actually submitted any layouts here because I'm horrible with myspace/xanga coding. I prefer to do it all myself from scratch. My very first post on cB was on Feb 4 2006. Apparently I took a long break from Feb 23 to July 29. Though I can't define my improvements inside of createblog, I can define my improvements along the times I've been a part of cB by outside projects I've done. Arcadia Around Feb 4th, I created a web site with a friend. I have created many others around that time, however, this is the only layout that I can take 100% credit for. This web site is called Arcadia. The layout was made in Photoshop 7. When I look at it now, I see how simple it is. Simple can sometimes work, but it's just a slob of colors and artistic cliche's. Elysium Then I moved on to Elysium with another friend. The site never actually went anywhere, but there was some content because I have a folder full of avatars that I remember putting up for Elysium. Again, it's too simple. I was more focused on softness than actual viewing pleasure. It's just too simple. Anyone could make something like this. Eternalyfe And then came Eternalyfe - my personal blog site which is actually on hiatus right now. I kept right along with the simplicity. I'm already bored of it. Plain white content boxes, easy to make. Bored. And so I took a break, just kind of admired from afar. I was going through a graphic meltdown. I couldn't make anything that looked like I had actual talent. So I came back to Createblog to look around at some sites - see the new styles, take some pointers. (This was a bit before the opening of Unspoken - maybe 2-3 months ago.) I was itching to make another graphics site. Createblog inspired this. When a friend asked me to make one with her, I nearly died. It had been so long since I'd made a site with a friend, and none of us had touched PS for about 3 months. So it was time to start cracking the whip. Unspoken Studios So that's where the existence of U.S. came about. My graphics improved a TON. I'd still like to improve more, because I notice a lot of similar styles that I use and would like to stray away from similar layouts. But through Createblog, I can trace where my graphics have been. As for my typing - nothing's changed. I never used "ong!!11" and "lawl" or anything like that. It's probably because I'm a 1/2 writer. (Meaning that I've written many stories, but never got them published.) So yeah. There's my cB history for you, in essay form. Haha. |

i hate dwelling on the past. i mean, who cares if you were noob back then.
i've been here for 2 years and a month, but i took breaks in between. i came back and now it's just kind of like there's nothing to really post in anymore. but we're not talking about cb, we're talking about me. so i guess i have changed a lot. i used to be really annoying but not on purpose, but now i don't even care if i'm annoying anymore. i remeber the old chat rooms though... that was nice |

Haha I just looked at my first member pictures post and it was my awkward goth stage. Hahahaha...
But I think I have changed a lot. When I was a newbie, I was a total suck up, not going to lie about that. I'm not quite a immature as I used to be either but other than that personality wise I haven't. Graphic wise I have though. I have gone through stages, first it was single pictures with slight effects, then it was blended movies, then it was vector outlines then it was places, then it was vectors now it's more collages. Haha it made me laugh. HAHAH! MY FIRST LAYOUT!! http://www.createblog.com/layouts/download.php?id=325 |
