Happy Holidays

Quick Edit: Last minute decision to run the Demented Year Awards…so I desperately need contestants. Nominate or apply, please check it out here!


:End Edit

I thought it would be good to blog again just to reassure you that I am still alive. How long has it been? Weeks, months, years? It’s been ages anyhow and I have been terrible in catering for the website. There has been no new content and I have not replied to any of the emails or comments I got. Yes, I know – it just spells out a bad site owner.

But never fear. I will now give the website my attention for my 3 week Christmas holiday, which means all those who have not yet received a reply, should do soon. I know in the half term I said I would update and didn’t at all, but I’m hoping that this time, with so much time on my hands, that will change and I’ll be able to keep to my word. Keep your fingers crossed for me?

There will be no new layout this holiday as I’m happy with this one and I really am busy. I am currently working on a website layout for a more professional society who has asked for some help. It would be too hard for me to work on multiple website layouts at the same time. So I’m going to attempt to put a christmas touch to this layout at some point during the next few weeks. I hope that’s okay with you guys.

I’m raising money for a expedition I’m going on next year and I think my efforts are quite good. I’m working for another website who is paying me and trying to sell some of my electronics. So far I have got quite a bit for the first few weeks, but I need to speed up.

1) a) If you could go on an expedition of your choice, which country would you go to?
b) What belonging would you definitely take with you?
2) Are you looking forward to the new year?
3) What would you like for Christmas?

    Love the layout and the font you use here! Fixed width fonts are always easy on the eyes. 🙂

    I have the same problem with leaving my site and not updating for months on end. I don’t mean to do it, it’s just that sometimes I get busy with things, so I know where you’re coming from.

    1.a. I would probably go to Korea first because all my relatives are there to see them. Then I would go to China for a lot of shopping (because buying a ticket from Korea to China is pretty cheap), then to Japan to buy even more stuff, such as electronics.
    1.b. I’d definitely take my phone and laptop, and of course the necessities. I usually don’t overpack and just have a small suitcase.

    2. I’m definitely looking forward to the new year! 😀 I’m going to try and host a big new year party so that’s gonna be fun.

    3. For Christmas I’m getting a 1TB drive. I already decided. xD But if I can afford one, a new tablet as well. :3

    And I don’t know if I’m qualified to enter the contest (because my site’s just a blog and doesn’t have any other content really), but I’ll check it out anyway!

    Eeep, I love a contest! Count me in 😀

    Your comment went into spam for some reason but don’t worry I got both of them.
    The Doctor being Santa Claus is quite reasonable, if y’think about it. He has a time machine after all and I mean I love the idea of Santa and all but The Doctor sounds more… exciting. And plus, he’s sexier than a fat man in a red suit chanting, “Ho! ho! ho!”. 😛
    OMG, I loved TWOM – sort of. Just the last bit scared hte heebie-jeebies out of me! Just shows that David Tennant is a BRILLIANT actor. But yes, I do hope that we get the old Doctor back. That Doctor is nicer. And funnier. “Allons-y!” I will very much miss DT, he will always be my Doctor 🙁 *cries a little into hankerchief* Ha.
    I found the “Have you hugged your timelord today?” picture on DeviantArt – love that site; so much Doctor Who stuff, simply amazing 😛

    I’m going to be seeing St. Trinians 2 on the 21st Dec. DAVID TENNANT ON THE BIG SCREEN. FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES! He was in HP, but only a small part (albeit, it definitely made an impression on me. That tongue :0.) I cannot wait for Trinians to come out now 😛
    And, hahaha. Land of the Christmas Trees. I love that 😀

    Hey Soph, i like your contest idea 😀 Sounds fun -i’m in ! 😉

    And thanks for your comment too ^^ Yep, it would be so cool if it snowed (but that’s pretty unlikely in floride -.-)
    Oh, maybe you can design a new layout? That would be cool 😀 I suppose better now than never, since it’s break and all~

    Look who’s come out from hiding! Hello, I missed you!!
    Yay for the Christmas holidays though. Christmas Day; Doctor Who. That’s all that has to be said really. I think I’ll have ot start stacking up on the tissues already.
    David is hosting Never Mind the Buzzcocks this Wednesday. Be there, or be square! Have you watched Dreamland?

    Ooooh, where you going for your expedition. My friend is doing that because she’s going on a gap year; so she needs to raise money too 😀

    1) a) Australia, most likely. Or New Zealand. One of them anyway 😀
    b) Deifinitely? Ooooh, I dunno. Lol.
    c) Cardboard cutout of David Tennant, a TARDIS and Draco Malfoy on my bed. Is that too much? 😛
