This is my final goodbye for now. I am closing up my website and I'm not going to be making a new one or moving or revamping. I'm a busy person and this site is just another thing for me to worry about. I enjoy webdesign (I'm going to college for it!) but I don't think being a webmaster is my thing. Maybe someday I will create a blog on Wordpress.com or Blogger but who knows? I also intend on making a portfolio; a professional one that you would come across online and where I go by my actual name! I will miss everyone and I promise you guys I'll always be lurking on your websites and watching how they progress. I appreciate everyone who has been with me since my first design site, Cruxis. It's been a fun and exciting adventure and I'm glad to close this chapter in my life. If you would still like to keep up with me:

I am going to get to go to college this fall! How grand is that? The reason I wasn&#8217;t going to be able to is because I owe over $400 to this crappy school that sucks. But my lovely Mama is going to be paying it off tonight. I feel horrible about it because they have given me SO much money for school and I failing at it miserably (I believe I am on academic probation). But this time I am going to do it and I&#8217;m going to succeed! My courses are through RODP and they are going to more expensive than traditional classes so I hope I get enough financial aid to cover it, if not then I may have to alter my entire major. Let&#8217;s hope not :/ I&#8217;m only taking three classes a semester too. My first semester at college I signed up for 5 classes; that was a bad idea. Then I tried 4 but I ended up dropping out (and owing money). I needed to go to the school today to finish some paperwork but I have been throwing up all day but I feel pretty okay right now.</p> <p>And we might have a house! Right now we rent a 2 bedroom, small house and there are 3 people living here. This house we bid on has 3 bedrooms and is pretty big and its in a very good location. I hope we get it because I don&#8217;t like it here at all. There is no privacy!</p> <p>I&#8217;ve been trying to get a job still. I applied at this one place that looks like they may want someone who knows how to make graphics. I haven&#8217;t really applied anywhere else. I would love to have college and a job, that would mean my life could be 100% better than it is now!</p> <p>Well I don&#8217;t feel so good and I need to get ready to go grocery shopping with my boyfriend <img src='http://dementia.hyouri.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Julianus/20x20-big_smile.png' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> </div> <div class="postmetadata"> </div> </div> <div class="post" id="post-594"> <div class="post-top"> <div class="post-title"> <h2><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/life/slumpity-slump/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Slumpity Slump">Slumpity Slump</a></h2> <h3> Posted by <span>Demeter</span> | Posted in <span><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/life/" title="View all posts in Life" rel="category tag">Life</a>, <a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/site-updates/" title="View all posts in Site Updates" rel="category tag">Site Updates</a></span> | Posted on 25-07-2010 </h3> </div> <h4>2</h4> </div> <div class="entry"> <p><strong>Update-1:12am-July 27</strong><br /> So I didn&#8217;t feel like making a whole new post for like a paragraph of blogging. I have removed the current contest because no one has joined and because PrizeRebel has been drooping for me lately. I find Cash4Free and even CashCrate are more worth my time. I think its been a bad week for PR because several members haven&#8217;t been credited as much. I only need $1.10 till I get my goal prize-<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=330449754517&#038;viewitem=&#038;sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT">Civic tail light covers</a>. Of course, this guy is coming to see my car tomorrow and he is interested in buying it. If its sold I can buy something else!</p> <p>I&#8217;m still looking for a job. This place that is about half an hour away is hiring, but its a very long drive. My friend just told me his work is hiring too. Although, he didn&#8217;t tell me personally, he mentioned it on someone&#8217;s Facebook comment. However, when I ask people if anyplace is hiring, I get subtly ignored. I feel invisible. Life has been sucky for me and its just spiraling downwards. :| Maybe the world will end in 2012 and I can stop worrying.<br /> <strong>End</strong></p> <p>Well here is the new layout! It would have took a lot less time but I couldn&#8217;t get plugins to work so I had to try new themes several times. I edited this one some to look better. There is also a new affiliate and a new link exchange.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/scripts/click.php?id=13">Haneuri</a></li> <li><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/scripts/click.php?id=14">Quiescent</a></li> </ul> <p>So today is Sunday! My boyfriend and I have just been lounging around most of the day. I&#8217;ve been eating quite a bit of salad, I really like it and I hate lettuce and tomatoes. I like romaine though; I would love a Zaxby&#8217;s Caesar right now! </p> <p>Tomorrow I really need to try and find a job. It&#8217;s going to be so hard because I do not want a job! I really don&#8217;t like dealing with strangers, it&#8217;s scary! I am so, so hoping I get this one job because it will be great for me, lol. My boyfriend lost, or someone stole, almost all of his money! He got paid on Friday then his wallet thing came missing and it had about $220. It sucks a lot because he has no car and I am stuck driving him around and neither of us have money for gas.</p> <p>Also tomorrow I will be adding an article to my site <img src='http://dementia.hyouri.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Julianus/20x20-big_smile.png' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> Finally something not about me. If I get time I might do the website review stuff but I&#8217;m not sure. Hmm, I just got totally blank. I&#8217;m going to go make another salad :P</p> </div> <div class="postmetadata"> </div> </div> <div class="post" id="post-580"> <div class="post-top"> <div class="post-title"> <h2><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/internet/black-cats-and-broken-mirrors/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Black Cats and Broken Mirrors">Black Cats and Broken Mirrors</a></h2> <h3> Posted by <span>Demeter</span> | Posted in <span><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/internet/" title="View all posts in Internet" rel="category tag">Internet</a>, <a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/life/" title="View all posts in Life" rel="category tag">Life</a>, <a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/rants/" title="View all posts in Rants" rel="category tag">Rants</a>, <a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/site-updates/" title="View all posts in Site Updates" rel="category tag">Site Updates</a></span> | Posted on 21-07-2010 </h3> </div> <h4>0</h4> </div> <div class="entry"> <p>Oh, I must have the worst luck. Things at my house are horrible and they are always this way. My mom is freaking insane. I hate her. I try to do something nice and it just blows up in my face. I&#8217;m always doing everything for my stupid mom and my grandma, as if they are in bubbles and can&#8217;t operate. I feel like not only am I running my own life, but I must carry the burdens of my elders as well. Quite frankly, I&#8217;m just sick of it. I could move in with my Mama or my Aunt but I wouldn&#8217;t have as much freedom as I do now. Occasionally on the weekend I tend to come home at the wee hours of the morning. If I had a job like I want, I could get my own place or at least rent something with someone! We are supposed to be getting this house (we find out today or tomorrow) and its simply perfect! I would have the basement all to myself. There is a bathroom, a huge closet, and a separate door just for me. I hope we get it, but even if we do my mom doesn&#8217;t really want me to live there. I don&#8217;t want to live with her either, I&#8217;ve been treated more civil by my enemies and she doesn&#8217;t even deserve me in her life. Perhaps I will leave and then she can be all alone, muahahaha!</p> <p><a href="http://www.cashcrate.com/2171985"><img align="right" src="http://www.cashcrate.com/images/srennab/125_green.gif" width="125" height="125" /></a></p> <p></a>So in the mean time I have joined CashCrate. It seems good but I dislike receiving checks when Paypal is much more convenient. I&#8217;m planning on writing some articles on different gpt (get-paid-to) sites. I&#8217;m sure lots of people believe they are big scams (and some sites are) but I&#8217;m just glad I&#8217;m able to earn some type of money for doing simple things.</p> <p>This is a very cute layout but I will probably be changing it soon. I&#8217;m going to use a more professional, clean layout where maybe I can implement a banner rotation. With that update I&#8217;m going to open up website reviews so you can have your site reviewed by me! I attempted to get some more link exchanges, but no luck so far. It seems to me like most, if not all, of the graphics/resource websites are dying. </p> <p>So my mom just came in my room and unfolded all of my folded clothes because I would not tell her something on Craigslist. She is a crazy bitch. T_T Sorry but I&#8217;m very mad. I just looked and I only need roughly $250 a month to live with a roomate. I hope I can get this one job that might be available because it will pay decent and won&#8217;t be too constricting. Maybe tomorrow I&#8217;ll go sell my plasma, I heard you can get $50 for it the first time. Oh and I was thinking about selling my DSi and games. That would be at least $150 in my pocket. My life just keeps getting suckier and suckier which makes me wonder why people are even born if they are just going to live a life of struggling and pain. Life after high school is hell so enjoy it while it lasts unless you&#8217;re a rich kid.</p> </div> <div class="postmetadata"> </div> </div> <div class="post" id="post-565"> <div class="post-top"> <div class="post-title"> <h2><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/life/oh-boy/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Oh Boy! :)">Oh Boy! :)</a></h2> <h3> Posted by <span>Demeter</span> | Posted in <span><a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/entertainment/" title="View all posts in Entertainment" rel="category tag">Entertainment</a>, <a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/life/" title="View all posts in Life" rel="category tag">Life</a>, <a href="http://dementia.hyouri.org/category/site-updates/" title="View all posts in Site Updates" rel="category tag">Site Updates</a></span> | Posted on 19-07-2010 </h3> </div> <h4>7</h4> </div> <div class="entry"> <p>First of all I apologize for Dementia&#8217;s jumping around but I hope we will be staying with this host for a very long time; moving is such a pain! There is nothing much new on the site. I can not get any Lightbox plugins to work so the portfolio is pretty lame :/ I will hopefully have it working shortly. I am also thinking about adding some icons to the portfolio. I&#8217;ve never been good at making them but I just want to. This WordPress theme came from <a href="http://wordpresssupplies.com/">WordPress Supplies</a>. They have so many cute, unique themes to use. Maybe next time I will make my own theme to use, although free ones are very convenient.</p> <p>On television, there are three shows I am looking very forward to. Degrassi&#8217;s Boiling Point (a six week event) is premiering very soon. They are showing new episodes every night too, rather than once a week. If you have seen the previews, you know it is going to be a drama filled event. Tomorrow, Teen Mom starts a brand new season! I&#8217;ve been watching those girls since they were first pregnant and its so cool to watch them and their babies grow up. A couple of the fathers have new love interests and I can&#8217;t wait to see how the mom&#8217;s react. Finally, Secret Life of the American Teenager has been airing but I haven&#8217;t been watching. I should catch up with the episodes online. I do know that Adrian is pregnant with Ben&#8217;s baby. How convenient considering Amy has Ricky&#8217;s baby, Amy and Ben are dating, and Adrian loves Ricky. Oh, the drama &hearts;</p> <p>I finally finished painting my car. I&#8217;m going to write an article on the entire process once I get my car home. It looks very good aside from some tape residue. My boyfriend painted the whole thing, which is good because I tend to be very clumsy. We had a great weekend too. We may seem like a great couple, and we are now, but we used to have a VERY rocky relationship. We both have made sacrifices and compromises for each other and that&#8217;s why things are so great now. </p> <p>Well I am going to look for some websites to link with!

I am also waiting for Misaki, my host, to reply to my email. My hosts rules state that we can&#8217;t have paid ads or anything &#8216;money-making&#8217; and my website is clearly somewhat about making money.To me, it&#8217;s almost a part-time job. I would hate for this issue to intervene with my host and my website because that means another move and another sub-domain change. So hopefully everything I have planned will be acceptable. I would hate to i I also checked my bank account yesterday&#8230; I have $321. This is no good considering I owe <i>more</i> than that and I have to pay for car insurance, gas, and everything else I may need. And no, I do not have a real job. I would love one because that means steady income but there are really no jobs where I live unless you want to play with grease, I don&#8217;t. I did apply for two web design positions and one pays $30 and hour!</p> <p><img width="175" src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/100/l_115780657d25467ebdc6215c9c0b08d0.jpg" align="right" /> Tyler and I finally put the real paint on my car today. That picture is the finished primer. The paint looks great! It&#8217;s so satin-y and black. My car already has black rims and soon I&#8217;ll have enough on PrizeRebel to order some tail light tint.</p> <p>I&#8217;m super eager to start writing some articles about stuff, change this layout to something more functional, and look for some new link exchanges, as well as submit my site to some list sites. But I&#8217;m going to wait till&#8230; stuff. So I&#8217;m interested in what type of reviews or articles you would like to read! Perhaps a section about the best free web hosts? Well I will probably edit this post later.

We are finally opened again <img src='http://dementia.hyouri.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Julianus/20x20-look_down.png' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> So much has been happening in my life and I have been wanting to blog about it all but the site hasn&#8217;t been open. I am not making resources or graphics anymore. Why? I just don&#8217;t have the time and I don&#8217;t get anything out of it for the most part. So I have moved all the resources to my <a href="http://demeteraurion.deviantart.com/">deviantArt</a> account. I won&#8217;t be adding anything new but if you ever need anything I&#8217;ve created, then its there.</p> <p>Here is a run down of the site: I added a Portfolio section to display my designs and past layouts. There is a Contests section for all the great contests and the ones that I have joined. The Reads part will have future Reviews and Articles I write. I will be doing reviews on products mostly but if I get around to it I will try to do website reviews. And then we come to Merchandise! There are links to both of my stores; however, I have not created anything yet <img src='http://dementia.hyouri.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Julianus/20x20-too_sad.png' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;m not sure when I will because making designs for clothes and what not because I&#8217;m not sure what is popular and what would sell. I still have several things to do around the website but they are small.</p> <p>The previous contest winner was Rinku, of Tomorrow&#8217;s Deception. She created some amazing buttons. The Tales of Symphonia themed one was my personal favorite. Rinku is now our newest affiliate and will be advertised for about a month <img src='http://dementia.hyouri.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Julianus/20x20-big_smile.png' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p><center><a href="http://deception.spiderwalls.net/" target="_blank"><img class="imgbord" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ivbqxh.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://deception.spiderwalls.net/" target="_blank"><img class="imgbord" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ivbqxh.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://deception.spiderwalls.net/" target="_blank"><img class="imgbord" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ivbqxh.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://deception.spiderwalls.net/" target="_blank"><img class="imgbord" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ivbqxh.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://deception.spiderwalls.net/" target="_blank"><img class="imgbord" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2ivbqxh.jpg" /></a></center></p> <p>This layout is from Chanlu and I&#8217;ll admit, I&#8217;ve always liked it because it has an octopus. And those are my favorite animals. I don&#8217;t really want to use a premade design but I&#8217;ll make an exception this one time :P I&#8217;m going to change the layout soon, at least when I have time. I&#8217;ll just add a banner or header to a WordPress template or something&#8230; or maybe I&#8217;ll get inspired to make my own. I need some new smilies but I don&#8217;t know where to get any new cool ones :/ Suggestions?</p> <p>There is a new contest, it isn&#8217;t a very great contest but it will do. All you have to do is earn 10 points on this website called PrizeRebel and you will win. It&#8217;s somewhat of a race to the prize, which is a $5 Amazon Gift Card. I hope there is a lot of competition for this competition. I think that about wraps it up for the site related updates!</p> <p>Now I can blog about my life since that&#8217;s taken care of, ha. Well I decided I was going to do a DIY &#8220;$50 Paint Job&#8221; on my 1999 Honda Civic. It started out with fixing a couple rust spots, then it evolved into primering the entire hood. So my lovely boyfriend paid for majority of my supplies and I sanded down my car. It was hell. Two-and-a-half days of unsettling vibrations T_T After more unlucky situations, I have the car fully primered and its ready for painting (black satin).</p> <p>The other thing of stature that happened recently is&#8230; I have to pay off this stupid college $454.54. It&#8217;s retarded to be honest. I signed up for 4 classes and three of which were through a separate program. This RODP program never ever gave me an account or allowed me to sign into my courses. So I believe I should not have to pay this but alas, colleges only want money. Which is why I do not want to go for awhile. I just want to get a nice little job and get some kind of foundation in my life. ^-^</p> <p>In my money making efforts, I&#8217;ve implemented Google Adsense but I plan on adding perhaps a Paypal donate, Amazon Associates, and some paid-to blahs. I don&#8217;t know really. I just know I need income because I pay for my car&#8217;s gas, my car insurance, and now a monthly payment to a stupid college.</p> <p>Well I think I&#8217;m going to open the site officially now and start editing some little things. Oh, and look for a new design. This might be new to you but I&#8217;ve been looking at it for weeks.
