Little Boots - "Remedy" officially stuck in my head now.

And still suffering from a "cold" (it could be hayfever, it could be flu) nothing appears to get rid off it. Apart from that, fit as a fiddle.

Horribly clamy today, its not even warm! I feel like I could easily fall asleep, just trying to keep myself active.

I finally joined Twitter.

I take an age to join social sites and my curiosity got the better of me this morning. It took me months to join Bebo and I think Myspace deleted my account because I never did anything with it.

Sure I had my LJ account for I think 3 years and I've only started actually using it properly in the past few months!

Anyway I'm currently suffering my annual summer flu, still can't understand why I get it each year around this time but my conspiracy theories are leading me to think that it's too hot one day, and I continue to wear summery clothes on other days when it gets cooler. Well that's the best theory I can come up with.

I never realised LJ changed my settings for notifications until recently! How stupid is that?


After spending ooohhh!...........30 minutes looking for the "notify me by email button", I have successfully turned it back on!

So in case you thought I was ignoring you all, I rely on my email notifications because I am still LJ illiterate. You only need to look at my attempts at LJ cuts.

In other news, Photobucket is back up and running, although they're threatening me to get a premium account because my album's almost full. Yeah right, they state that I can upload endless amounts of photos and gifs but apparently endless = 1 GB. Not fair!

So in that case in the next few days, I might just throw up any art I did via image shack so I can make space on Photobucket. You see Ellie = poor student who can only live off free accounts on the internet.

And also, I managed to get that Cosmic Love song! Woot woot!!!

Anyone heard of Florence and The Machine?


Great song I've just heard by her called Cosmic Love. It's featured in the O2 Ireland tv ad at the moment.



Unfortunately her album hasn't been released yet but I'm hoping a demand might consider her to release this track fairly sharpish! If not, I suppose I'll just wait until her album's released in July.

Oh yeah, and that's totally me dancing by myself like the guy in the video (that's if and when people see me dance!)

Ok, so I gave everyone the link to my photobucket account (which had tons and tons of marvelous football related gifs that I've collected over the past few months from all over the internet) and now photobucket have written an email to me saying that my bandwidth is reaching its limit.

Boo hiss I know. :(

So to be precautionary, I will be privitizing my account until the end of the month.

I'm sure you've all snatched the gifs you've wanted anyway!

Just a warning incase you're wondering how you cannot get access into my account.

You all know this one:



Well someone or people were very quick off the mark tonight with a certain Michael Ballack:



( More to follow... )

So I said I'd post any, so here's a few!

I'll admit once I began I took any tutorials from <lj community>icon_tutorial</lj community> as gospel, every little detail I had to follow. Nowadays, it's just a case of doing what I want to do, adjust different colour selections, curves, levels etc. to my own preference.

So without further ado, here's a few more:
( Click for piccies! )
Hope you have a good day!

Ok so this Operation: Rescue LJ Account isn't eactly going to plan......

*grumbles*

Anyway, enough with my whinging, I'll give a few (uninteresting) updates:

•  

( More rambling after the cut - Hey! My LJ cuts are getting better! )
Hope things are going well with you all.

( Oh no! Not the dreaded LJ cut! )</span></span>.</div>

 Well I said I got Photoshop recently, been trying to practice and trying out tutorials supplied from the lovely people of  icon_tutorial

I gave it a shot, I'm delighted with results, so I thought I'd just put them up anyway. If you want to take them, please be my guest, though no hotlinking pretty please with sprinkles on top? :P

</div></div></div></div>

Right, thought I'd post my pride and joys, I've done enough talking about tweaking pictures and keeping them hidden away from all of you. All I ask is;

• Please don't claim as your own. They're really simple to make if you have a Photoshop or (like me) Paint.net. There's no need to say you made them yourself. If you want to know how, please just ask I won't bite. : )
• Comments are love.
• Please do not hotlink.

Enough of the rules, please enjoy! : )

( Warning: Dial-up may die )

I'm back from my travels to Waterford for the new year! I had an amazing time, apart from a few scrappy moments between friends, the night wasn't spoilt!
( Here comes the rambling )


Sidenote: I love my new icon at the moment, it's made by salmiaggi . Such a great talent she has.

2nd post in a matter of days, that's got to be an improvement, right? ; )

Ok, I have a few things to post, that hopefully will go right in the 1st time posting. (You don't know how much I've re-edited the posts below!)

( First attempt of making a cut )

                       ^^^^ Success!!

Right let's start from the beginning. There is a need for you to know about me because if we don't know anything about eachother, how do we become friends or more than just a name on the screen?




( Here are some points about me )



*hits the post button*

Hi I'm new. Don't hate me because of my inexperience with this.......
