Can't let my graphics-making skills go to waste, can I?

I've decided to use my old copy of Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 again. Unless you count the occasional sigs or a bit of cropping, the program's been dormant for nearly a year.

Anyway, I was bored, so I decided to make MSN emoticons out of MapleStory's crystal ore set.
(Yeah, not much skill here, just random application of noise, but I have to build up my skills again.)



All images are transparent.

I've completely forgotten how to make them into emoticon packs, so I'm afraid you'll have to save them manually. Just:

1. Right-click and save as.
2. Open up any MSN conversation window.
3. Click on the smiley face to open up your emoticons.
4. Click on 'more' somewhere on the top right.
5. Click on 'create', also somewhere on the top right.
6. Browse to where you saved the image and click 'OK'.
7. [OPTIONAL] Create a name and shortcut for your emoticon.

Sick.

Stupid allergies.
There are two strepsil hole thingys missing because I made them into a lucky penny container.

Yay! and nayyyy.

I managed to put my signature into the Yahoo! signature spot. Yay!

The classic version of Yahoo! is slowly starting to become unstable. I've switched to Yahoo! Mail Beta temporarily, but I hate it as it looks like Outlook Express, and that's yukky.

Maybe it really is time to switch to GMail. Apparently GMail released a beta version of an online Powerpoint presentation application thingy. So basically, you don't have to download your Powerpoint presentations any more, you can just view them in GMail.

To make this post somewhat more interesting...click here to listen to a song made from Windows Sound Recorder. It's actually quite soothing.

Yahoo! vs GMail.

I made a new sig about a week ago (click!):



Pretty, isn't it? I like the red. (:

Anyway, I was planning to use it in my Yahoo! email signature space. However, the image won't show up, no matter what I try. Grr. D;

If anyone just so happens to read this, puh-LEAZE help me. Or maybe I should just switch to GMail.

ZORK! - a game for nerds like me.

Check out Zork here.
(Must have Java installed first, I think.)

To play, just type in whatever you want after the arrow (>).
If you're stuck, type in 'help' or 'info'.
To view your inventory, type 'I'.
To look around, type 'L'.

Even though technically you don't have to register in order to play, you have to make your own account in order to save and restore a game.
To do so, type in 'login '.

If you want to play my story, type in 'login lilthufth 12345678'. =)

Apparently all us Wikipedia-using nerds would prefer anime over sex.
Go Pokemon!

WTF.

Was browsing sites using StumbleUpon (which is a very good procrastination device, by the way) when I saw this article:

"The simple truth is that there are more horses than people who want them.

In 2006, more than 100,000 unwanted horses were killed in slaughterhouses in this country. Thousands more were shipped across the border to be slaughtered in Canada and Mexico."

I mean, WTF. Why don't they send some of the unwanted horses over here?

Life is rather unfair.

Will make variations if they're popular. (Doubt it though.)

French Orals - Hannah vs. Stefan.

Lame video I made in under fifteen minutes.
Funny conversation though.



Random, uncredited people in the background:
- Gigi
- Mozar
- Eunice
- Hannah, Stefan, Charlotte.

For everyone who's eagerly waiting for my Crane Lake project, it'll be online (hopefully) around next week. (:

NightRise.

Arthur did some of his usual fancy stuff and this was created.
Join the forum. If you're a member of the guild, that is. (:

McDonalds rap.

This never gets old.




I need a double cheese burger and hold the lettuce
Don't be frontin son -- no seeds on the bun
We be up in this drive through order for two
I gots a cravin' fo' a numba nine like my shoe
We need some chicken up in here, in this hizzle
For rizzle my mizzle, extra salt on da frizzle
Doctor pepper my brothah, another for ya motha
Double-double supah size and don't forget the fries
..Crispy.

Oh, and if you watch a lot of videos on YouTube I'd recommend this accelerator. Speeds up buffering time considerably. Try it.

Worst lyrics ever.



#1 Des'ree - Life

I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sight that I fear most,
I'd rather have a piece of toast,
Watch the evening news.

# 2 Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
I'm as serious as cancer,
When I say Rhythm is a Dancer.


# 3 Razorlight - Somewhere Else
And I met a girl,
she asked me my name,
I told her what it was.


See the rest of the list at BBC.co.uk.



And now for...




SUPERHORSE.

My favourite numbers.

11 is the largest known multiplicative persistence.
12 is the smallest abundant number.
9 is the maximum number of cubes that are needed to sum to any positive integer.
31 is a Mersenne prime.
17 is the number of wallpaper groups.
2 is the only even prime.
3 is the number of spatial dimensions we live in.

You can find the whole list at Stetson.edu.

Images you have seen so many times, they're not even funny.

I might update this later, I lost a few image links.




Enough with the buttered toast/cat jokes already. Plus, I pity the poor people who get nauseous looking at the spinning kitty.











Hilarious! Not.



This goes for (almost) every other sign in a foreign language.















I hate this display picture SO, SO much.

HELLO.

Hi, Lil here.

New blog. Ever since Google bought this company, I've always wanted to try something with Blogger. So yeah, enough with Facebook or Xanga already.

I don't want to talk about my life. I never do; as you know, I'm not a very open person. But I'll update with quotes, images, videos and random, humorous things from time to time. Okay?
