The domain Eternalize-bliss.com and everything else on the subdomains will be deleted by late April, so Azzy, darling, grab what you can and hold out for a little while until I figure out how to get a little space on the web to call my own. Frankly, however, I just don't have time for it any more. Not to say that I'd lost interest, I didn't, but I did loose some time allocation. Second reason, it is disheartening, especially for an Economics major like myself, that this down-turn has affected my family and I HARD, so that little bit of money coming out every month can be used for other things, like gas or train-ticket.
I had A LOT of fun. I met a lot of great friends, though I still wonder if anyone still remember this is over-dramatic girl over here!!! I'd spent a lot of empty childhood days just designing and it was truly an outlet I sincerely loved (and still love). I blame it on the aging part of life. I must admit that a lot of my networking is physical now, and even though I have friends all over the world, I enjoy physically contact a lot more than virtual contact. I have always been old-fashioned in every sense of the word, including my manners and speech. Call it the old English girl deep inside me wanting to break free.
And something about what I always love to call, "The Metropolitan World of Web Design" is changing for better or for worst, I will let you be the judge. Call me bitter if you must, if you think I am this way because I can't keep up with it. If you haven't learned ANYTHING about me for the last, what? Six years or so, then you don't know that I could care less about trends and popularity and other trivial things that come with being a part of that world.... I blame it on the aging part of life.
Of course DA will be updated once in a while with new art because that liberal side of me will never disappear. I might set up a page somehow to post things about my travels for the next few years. We will see I am completely guilty of the fact that it is hard for me to keep in touch when I loose physical contact for so long. My friend Julia in Munich is the only one who can keep up with my atrociously long letter writing, who competes with me in the same vigour on who can write the longest letters. But those who know me best (and that includes you Azzy, I hope, BECAUSE YOU HOE I MISS YOU LIKE HELL!!), know that I always think about them and miss them more than my words can ever express. Those who I love, love me and will love me regardless of my mistakes.
So love me for sounding vain.
When you are ready, have a cup of tea with me and tell me how have you been. Until then, good bye and thank you for the great(?) memories.

LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss you so much >< !!!!!!!!!!! I've been meaning to call you but I had another lapse in the depression room! I'm too stupid for a science major (now, anyways) so I'm a writing major >.> Fancy that.
I'll be sure to burn all the evidence in the databases!! No one shall know! I'm behind you 200% on whatever you want to do, and taking down EB isn't a big deal (I f'ked up Evangelical and Infinitium real good with the coding, so I give up) but giiiirrrrll if you need me to do ANYTHING for you, YOU LET ME KNOW!!!!! Ahhhhh I miss yoU!!!!! ily! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I pray for you family and you and I hope you're alright. If you need any help, lemme know, again. (P.S. summer job hunting is impossible, but I'm eying your restaurant--but you'll be in Scotland ><
I've been watching the webdesign community and everything is going to Wordpress and Blogger layouts by Indian manifests of 100+ designers with premium packages with the homepage starting blank at 125 USD. It's ridiculous and everything has to be verified and certified and run on purely css or hardcore database queries. It fails. Hard.
AND THE MEMORIES ARE GREAT!!!! Good luck in school! Gimme your addresses (even when you leave!) so we can write. My phone's dying. No one can hear me on it. I yell, in vain.
Ttyl. I have a paper I need to write in 30 minutes!!! ♥ you!
Strange, I was thinking of changing too and perhaps attain a liberal arts degree in history and comparative literature. I kick ass in my literature class all because of Kirkman. But then, I thought, "NAH, I like the crazy economics stuff way too much to change. I'll just do it on the side".
You know that I'm behind your decisions as long as it brings you joy and you are happy with it. If it doesn't, then I will kick your ass first and then make you feel the joy of pain, if anything else.
About EB, I have everything saved on my comp, so if you need anything just holler and I will send it to you. You know, this is really the inevitable because we were talking about this for a long time. If you want me to be SUPER SUPER frank, there is a haughtiness and superiority of each designer that just annoys the HECK out of me. I know that I may be guilty of it too, and just can't see it, but I have always felt it emanate from that stinky realm like a bag of garbage after Super Bowl Sunday. Not to say the people were bad, individually. No, no, you know I am way too soft-hearted to hate anyone (okay, even if I am a Bitch). I love all of the people I've met and I guess, I have too high to expectations to keep some type of communication with them....Sigh...I hope at least a hello, but empty. Collectively, something gives me the creeps and the innocent ones aren't exactly so innocent. I'm a little bio-tch aren't I. Well, at least, if they hate me, you'll still love me right?
I don't know if I will ever truly go back to web-design, I got graphic design commissions so I can't let that go. Perhaps I would just do it to display my things, but we will see in the end. You will always have a place in my heart as well as in my domain. Cheesy-cheese, aren't I?
Many people tend to underestimate how much I reallllllyyyyyyy miss you! *HUGS* LYLAS-I never had, who is also white...XD. It feels like a void that I'm not able to rant face-to-face with you. Lol. I will definitely give you all of the required addresses, land line numbers, cell phone if I choose to get one and we can always email.
Yeah, our crazy memories were awesome. I still remember all of our ridiculous IMs and phone calls that didn't have much intellectual content but it was fun anyways! Summer, before we leave, we need to do a DDR night and just spend an entire week filling in the year that we haven't seen each other.
Thank you for your prayers and you that you are always in mine. I miss you like a ton. Good luck in school too! At least it is almost over; be happy about that.
Until next time! ILY, MISS YOU...uh, tally-ho, doody-doo.

I'm on mixed feelings with changing my major. Any sciences major requires a 2.7 minimum GPA and my first semester was terrifying, leaving with a horrible GPA. English majors require a 2.0 so I am sure I can make it. I feel ashamed of myself. I don't know what I want to do anymore. Maybe I'll be a doctor still, but I don't know. I don't have enough time or resources to compile an art portfolio for the art college. I am so lost :c
Please for hang out time!! I'll be home for the summer definitely and with no job, not really doing anything. I'll be down in late April (last exam is on the 25th, a Saturday). I haven't gotten to see anyone really, only a couple people during spring break. And Aaron is a chump-grump >< I see him and my papi on the weekends. We HAVE to see each other (I get this "i miss you" frown thinking of you--my closest thing to pouting).
Ugh, we need to go bra shopping ♥
I miss you moar!! I'll give you my dorm address and house one for next year too. Dorm life sucks. There are pubes on the toilet seats and the shower stall floods. D: DX &:
I miss you!!!! It saddens me we're apart but your succeeding and that's what matters!! Rant to me all you want!
Now I haven't eaten yet, so I'm off yet again to forage. Love you lots! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ o(♥3♥

And I've pretty much abandoned webdesign too... but who knows! We may someday fall back upon it in old age, hehe

Life is too important to be taken seriously.
Aye, Lass, Scotland I shall go! Come, come, let's go have a beer! XD

And thanks so much, I actually DID get into art school! I got into RISD (which was the school I'd wanted to get into for a long time) and CCA in San Francisco. I'm not sure where I'm going yet, but I'm thinking about it...
You're going to have to tell me stuff about Scotland! Maybe a simple wordpress blog? I find it WAY easier updating mine more regularly now than when I ran a whole site from scratch... Just a thought!

I will definitely keep you posted about Scotland! I took up your advice and made a Wordpress blog: [link] You're right, it is A LOT easier. I'll be posting a lot of pictures when I get the wheels rolling. I think I'm going to do a "first-one-hundred-days" type of thing (like what they were doing for President Obama). We will see in time.
Oh, how is that fashion class going? Will I see a fashion line by Courtney in Vogue anytime soon?
