Welcome to Rainy Days, the small personal blog and ramblings of Sarah (AKA Rinku). Thanks for your visit, feel free to take a look around!
Rainy Days has been around since late 2007. Originally it was hosted by Blogger.com, it then moved a subdomain under my domain and it now uses wordpress. The current wordpress theme was designed by Aun Existe Amor.
I apologize I haven’t been writing, I have so much to say but so little time to actually blog. I’m doing a huge overhaul of Tomorrow’s Deception, and it’s taking up all of my time. Anyway, I promise I’ll try and make a nice blog post soon. So many things have happened that it’s hard to fit it all into one post. So for today I’ll leave you all with something heart-warming, since I know you guys like that sort of thing. :D I have always enjoyed this song by Bright Eyes, but after I saw this music video I fell in love with it, and watching it makes me sad, but it’s so pretty!
I think if you love someone it’s hard not to feel really sad or happy the first time you see this. Bright Eyes makes some beautiful music, I’ve been listening to them a lot recently, since I have several of their albums.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I just saw the trailer for the new Dexter season, and may I just say I’m extremely excited. :DDD I promise to blog sometime in early August and talk about some of the stuff that’s happened over the summer.
Well then… things are looking good, Rainy Days has settled in to its new home, (just a slight URL change), and we also have a new wordpress theme set up. I absolutely love this one, I think it’s gorgeous, so big thank you to Aun Existe Amor for this wordpress theme. If you haven’t visited AExA by now, your crazy because they have some of the best designs! :D I also would like to sort of apologize for the seemingly random URL change. The old URL was something that had been bugging me for practically a year. It was too long for my taste, and I don’t know this just seems so much easier. I was considering changing it to rinku.spiderwalls.net but then I instantly dismissed the idea since I imagine some day I will stop using my alias and just go by Sarah. I honestly wouldn’t mind it if some of my online friends call me Sarah, I just think it’s weird if someone I don’t know online calls me by my real name. I’ll get over it eventually though.
I’ve become a bit more lenient with with mixing my online activities with real life too. I used to be completely secretive about my sites and I didn’t really tell anyone except my family (who pays my hosting bills, ha ha) and my sister. I still don’t really like talking about it with people but I do admit to having a site if the topic comes up, I just won’t say what type it is, or give out any URLs. XD I really just like to keep such things to myself. I also sometimes have to explain how I claim to spend hours online, yet I don’t have a Facebook. I also had to do a bit of designing and coding for my web design class that I took last year, which I may or may not have talked about. I really didn’t do much, but a lot of the kids were amazed by my designing and coding skills, and it’s nice to know that my work is appreciated! LOL. I also had a lot of free time in that class so I got to vector here and there which also turned some heads. Next year I’m taking graphic design, so I’ll be using Adobe Illustrator which is completely foreign to me. It should be fun though! XD
Hey look, I’m not dead! And oh my goodness, guess what! This is an actual blog post! I know shocking right? :D Ok, enough with the sarcasm, but yeah I’ve been absent from the blog for god-knows how long. But here I am alive and well. XD So the question presents itself, where have I been? There’s only one answer. School. I’ve been working my ass off for the past couple of months to try and make it through the year. In May I had AP Tests, and late May/early June I was working on finals and last minute crammed assignments. I haven’t been completely dead from the internet though, the only site I was really taking care of during that time was Tomorrow’s Deception, mostly because it’s the only site that requires constant monthly updates, or else the community gets on my back saying “Are you alive?”, “Where have you been?” , etc. But putting that aside, it’s finally summer, so it’s time to catch up with everything! And I’ve already started, Yesterday I finished up my Fanlisting for Modest Mouse, and surprisingly I’m liking the layout more and more everything I see it. :D (Which tends to be rare for me). I have a ton of other stuff lined up to do as well; (revamp T-D, new domain layout, 2 GaiaOnline commissions, and possibly some more fanlistings). The list keeps growing and growing, but I’m actually really excited to get everything done.
Today and tomorrow though, I’m taking a break since I worked all day yesterday on the FL. I’m going to start revamping T-D on Monday. Tomorrow (hopefully) we’re going shopping, and yeah I need a ton of new clothes. I’ve been putting it off because of school, but my wardrobe is really pathetic right now, it consists of just enough shirts to get through one week, and two or three pairs of jeans, that’s about it. XD I also haven’t been keeping up with my CD collecting, I haven’t bought a new album in a couple months which is devastating for me. T_T On Friday of next week I’m being forced to go into the DMV and take my permit test, and yes, literally FORCED. My mom says I’m going in whether I’ve read the driver’s manual by then or not. Let’s just hope I don’t fail it, lol. Maybe I’ll post about it if/when I finally get the damn permit. I also need to take driving lessons this summer because I need a way to get to school next year (the bus isn’t really an option anymore). There is a car sitting around for me to drive too, (my sisters). My family’s been tormenting me about driving too, they think that I’ll be a reckless driver, which is so untrue, I’m very cautious! We’ll see though, I’m kind of scared though I’ve never drove in my entire life. 0_0 Read the rest of this entry »
