Happy Sunday! I should be asleep or watching marathons of old TV shows. I’ve been so busy this weekend. I can officially announce I am exhausted. However, this weekend has brought along a variety of blog topics. So I’m getting most of my blogging out today. Yay for scheduled posts. Be on the lookout. I have reviews, more design inspiration, and showcases. I’m going to sketch out another design just to see if I can do something more fitting for this blog than the current theme I’m developing. Along with that, sometime next month, I’m hoping to open a little theme shop. Who knows what may happened? Just be sure to stay tuned.

About a week ago, we were discussing confrontation in church. I’ve gone through a few confrontations in my lifetime and I can testify that very few were subtle. When we hear the word confrontation, we think of certain emotions. I, for one, think of anger. Growing up in a household like mines, if you were confronting someone about something, you’d better be ready to take on the offensive. If I would confront someone about eating my food, they would be ready to defend themselves by attacking me for confronting them about something so small.  I don’t know if it’s a hot-blooded reaction; however, most people feel defensive when someone confronts them about something.

45+ Typography-Inspired Wallpapers

As a designer, I enjoy seeing good typography-usage implemented in everything. Typography is one of the most important factors in design. Typography is inspiring for people for all careers and it’s becoming more popular daily. If you’re like me and enjoy having a nice desktop wallpaper, you may enjoy these 45+ typography-inspired wallpapers.

Web Design Friday: 35 Great Web Designs

Links.I.Love – Bloggers Edition 2!

I did an earlier post showcasing bloggers 18-30, seeing it was nearly impossible to find any personal bloggers within this age range. Apparently, I’ve been looking in all of the wrong places! Shortly after I posted about it, it seemed as if I’ve found plenty of new blogs to read. So I decided to do a second feature. I’m pretty sure most of these bloggers fall within the 18-30 age category, but even if they don’t, they’re pretty superb bloggers and should be featured anyway. Enjoy! If you’re a young blogger, feel free to share your link!

Last Teenage Summer

Today has been such a busy day! I’ve been offline, and online, and offline. I didn’t get a chance to post my review about Windows Live Writer, which is on my to-do list. I’m supposed to be blogging about my interior design books I had last weekend. Alas, I am steadily failing my blog schedule. However, I’ll hope to release some really good news about my life before the weekend is here.

As I was browsing one of my favorite Livejournal communities, it dawned on me that this summer was my last one as a teenager! I mean summer is pretty much over (not technically) for a lot of my friends as school has started back. I usually wrap my season scheduling around school since I’ll be back in class someday. I have big dreams about my education. Labor Day is almost here, the official start of fall in my head. There’s the fall wardrobe, my wedding, David’s 21st birthday, friends visiting, and the beginning of the holiday season. After Labor Day, my life will never be the same again.

PHI PHI Sunset Beach by pfromthev My summer was the last and first for a lot of things for me. Without realizing it, I have engaged in the best summer of my life. I didn’t get to take the nation-wide road trip of my teenage dreams; but I’ve changed in so many ways. I experienced life the way it should be for the first time ever, with my rightfully gained independence. I lost some friends, met some new ones, fell in love all over again with a guy I’ve been in love with for almost four years.  I spent the summer away from my family, who had been my summer’s main components for the past eighteen years of my life. I didn’t spend my time engulfed in the fall season’s past’s re-runs. I didn’t sleep in past 10 a.m. to eat cereal in bed as I have for my past few summers. I fell in love with my writing again, as I did last summer. Not only did I fall in love with my writing, I fell in love with my blogging again. This is the first summer in years I’ve been active on this site.

I tried foods I never had before. Got sick as the result of some of those foods. I found myself in a swimsuit more than once in the summer. I visited my first water park! It seems as if so many memories will forever be packed away at the end of this month. I won’t be able to turn back, and I guess part of that scares me. It probably should! After April 2010, my short six years as a teenager will be officially over. It’s depressing to think the last year was the only year I really lived, but I won’t ever regret anything. There’s my 20s up ahead, and I get to really grow into my sophisticated style. I guess I should be scared of no longer being a kid; but I’m more excited than anything. I’m ready to move on and see what life has in store for me. Goodbye my teenage summer, goodbye.
