Happy Chinese New Year! :) 新年快乐!
Lunaria: Good to know we agree on how pesky hour-long breaks can be.
I think I have a few ideas in mind... the funny thing is that for this course we only have to write a 10-12 page term paper.. in fifteen weeks. This is going to be a piece of cake o_o''
The course is a China studies independent research course, and the topic is basically open-ended as long as it somehow relates to a field that my supervisor is knowledgeable in. I'm leaning towards something with gender in Chinese history/culture/undecided about the specifics yet since I am a gender studies major, after all (double-majored with psych).
My Psychology books were never too bad.. except for this psychology of language textbook last semester. It was a crappy textbook (even the professor said so) and I never studied from it yet got As on all the exams. >__>; What a waste of money.
This semester I'm not even taking any Psychology courses -- I finished the major. All I have left is to finish my gender studies major and my china studies minor.
Re: professors and quotes
That does sound quite annoying. I have tremendous faith in your abilities when/if you go to teach upper division literature. :D
Good luck with work! Your job sounds great. I've always wanted to be a teaching assistant but unfortunately the professors I would LOVE to TA for are either teaching classes I've never taken or they're only teaching graduate-level work this semester. :(
However, it's not so bad this semester. I will hardly have enough time to devote to TA'ing as is since I have my internship, research lab, and other responsibilities, but I still wish I could have a TA opportunity. (Even though I heard it can be annoying and lots of work!)
Fishy: It doesn't work but I took the URL from your post and opened it in a new tab. :)
And yes, you must familiarize yourself with the awesomeness of Portal.

And, on LBP, the text in my sig is ACTUALLY FROM THE GAME! NO JOKE! It's from one of the level creation tutorials. You're just watching the video, and the narrator says it and you just crack up!
Anyway, thanks again, and THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE, THE DELICIOUS CAKE IS A LIE.

Indeed, I love how it's a unique hobby.. and something you can eat, as opposed to crochet or something you've knit. Well, you could, but it would just end up tasting like a whole bunch of yarn.
Percei: Haha, I must admit, I was a bit confused when you gave me the LBP text.
That's crazy that it actually comes from the game o__o;

As for updates, I finished DxK's signature and just need to complete the avatar part. I took a step in a different direction style-wise and color-wise because I love to experiment.
Biblio: I'm glad you like it :) Don't worry about the text - it wasn't a huge hassle, it just took some adjustments.
The anime sounds interesting.. yet another one to add to the list of "what to watch." @__@;

I see you're still cranking out masterpieces like always. And I wondered if perhaps you could please take the time, eventually, to make me a wallpaper? (yeah, the nerve of me, I know. Only requested two things and I'm already plowing on to ask for a wallpaper. :C For shame.)It'd be lovely if you could. :3 I really adore your graphics and wouldn't ask anyone else. ^^
Ready? It's gonna be pretty specific. ^^; I'll try to keep it simple but will fail, probably.
Spoiler: For length
Gawd... I feel terrible for asking so much XD; It seems so... big. Take as long as you want on it, really. But if it seems like too much work, you can totally turn me down; I would completely understand.
Thank you SO MUCH for your time, Vicki! How have you been?

Thanks a WHOLE BUNCH for editing the original, it makes it so much easier for me. I often only look at the original request post when I work on a request and it's entirely possible for me to forget if there was another post made afterwards with an edit... so imagine my frustration if I made a signature a certain way and then later realized that I had to scrap that work and make some big changes.
In short: THANK YOU! :)
I'm happy that Biblio's set is liked by all of you ^___^ (<3 to SF, yuzikichan, blinq) Truth be told, I was doubtful of the outcome and (at the time) somewhat disappointed with how it came out, but knowing that Biblio liked it a bunch lessened my "negativenancy" attitude. :B
Incendiary: Don't worry, I would love to make you a wallpaper :) I have really enjoyed making them recently, so you're just feeding my wallpaper-making addiction. :B YOU ENABLER, YOU.
Thanks for the loyalty ^___^ It's something I definitely value and really appreciate from others.
Please don't feel terrible - really, I've had people request much much more and who were not very polite at all. At least you're very well-mannered and patient, which is all I ask for. :)
Just one thing I want to clarify - can you doublecheck your screen resolution? I just want to make sure the wallpaper I'll be making is the right size for your monitor. If you have a PC, you can check by going to control panel -> appearance/personalization -> display settings or adjust screen resolution (it differs for XP vs. Vista so getting to display settings depends on your OS)
It'll say your resolution and then have a slider underneath it. :3
Thanks a bunch and sorry if it's a hassle ^__^;;

DxK
Okay, so here's a long explanation of what I tried to accomplish in this signature for anyone who's curious about my thought process.
DxK basically explained that the idea for this signature was to celebrate discovering something important about the self (btw, very well-deserving of a celebration!), so I wanted the fortune cookie to look like it was actually giving her fortune, luck, etc.
I wanted bright, happy colors because it made the most sense for this type of theme.
The text is parts of her post. The other texts are simple phases I typed up for additional motivation and inspiration.
For the avatar, the "crumbling" is something I tried to make into something literal, so it's my attempt at making it look like it is actually crumbling. It looks more obvious if the text was black but then the text would stick out too much.. etc. @__@;
Anyways, I like playing around with words, so it was fun to do. :)

'tis not a hassle at all. :3 I checked the resolution (I have an iBook) and it's 1280 x 800. I edited my post with the new resolution. I hope that's not too specific.
Heh. Just because I don't have to feel bad doesn't mean I don't. I'm generally a very guilty person when it comes to asking people for things and being unable to give them something in return.
Ahhhh, I'm an enabler. Shame on me. D: *whacks self with a fish*

I can't imagine people not being polite to you Vicki. I think your one of the nicest people on these forums. People on here generally seem to be nice too.
How are you classes going?
I had a fun night of reading and the reveiwing a story with six students. Everyone seemed well mannered and polite. I hope they keep coming to the review sessions. If no one comes, technically I could get paid to browse the forums, but I'm sure my supervisor would prefer me to do the job for which I was hired. I have to do a different story tomorrow, so I have some more reading ahead of me, but I will save it for tomorrow when my mind has had some rest.
Great job on the Avatar and Sig, by the way.

Oh, and if you're interested, the characters in the fanart are Edge (the ninja) and Rydia (the green haired woman) from Final Fantasy IV. I'd highly recommend the game if you like RPGs.

Mia: You replied via PM which is absolutely fine, so there is no need to apologize. :) You're very welcome; it was a very nice wallpaper to create. I don't often get such high quality art to work with (and graphics do depend largely on the quality of the image provided), so it was a treat.
Glad to know my efforts have resulted in using more electricity. XD
Yes, I need to finish FFIV. >___>;
Biblio: If you have any font questions in general, let me know. I'm not a know-it-all expert but I do pride myself on recognizing a variety of fonts. I'm typically amused when I see an overrated typeface used for a new restaurant (ex. the font "violation" is used for a local restaurant). I know, I'm quite weird.
Awww, thanks a bunch for the "thank you" gift. :)
You don't need to apologize for the wind effect, it keeps things interesting and is not used often. :B
You'rewelcomeyou'rewelcomeyou'rewelcome. You're a lovely person yourself, I'm glad to have met you since you've been a supersupporter for.. uh, a long time.
Yes, if Vickinet arrives you betcha you'll get some type of admin/supermod position.
Lunaria: Most of the rude people I encountered on other websites, so that explains it. I completely agree that the people on CR are, for the most part, extremely nice and well-mannered. I'm happy to have met so many friendly and nice people here :)
My classes are going well. Since I'm only taking three courses, one being independent research, it's not a challenging schedule. I decided on a research topic for China Studies..

I'm glad to hear that you had a good night re: the review sessions. Yes, I'm sure your supervisor would prefer you to do the job as well, haha. I do often hear stories of how teaching assistants in my courses often get no one to visit during office hours so they're basically.. sitting there, bored. Must really be the life.
Thanks :) It's fun going into a different direction and trying out something new.
Incendiary: Awesome, you have the same resolution as me - trying the wallpaper on my own desktop before uploading it will be easy to do! 8)

Aww ^^ I'm glad to have met you as well. And I think it'll be a year in a few months
=D Yay!...and is it odd that when I read 'supermod' I think "SUUUPER-MOOOODDDD!" in the tune of "SUUUPERMAN!"
Thanks for telling me the font also! ^^
...And your paper sounds truly interesting! I want to read it when it's done ^^ You're certainly good at finding thought-provoking subjects! I had never thought of comparing and contrasting corsets and foot binding. Interesting, though, the different emotions provoked based on the situation--when you hear about corsets, you don't think of it much, but when you hear of footbinding you think it's cruel; then other similar devices (like the tribe in Africa where the ladies add rings to their neck, eventually permanently elongating their neck to the point where it breaks if the rings are removed; the more rings one has, the more beautiful the lady is considered) is just considered 'odd' or different. It's intriguing how one's concepts of other countries colors your ideas about their traditions!
and still no reply to your previous comments, I'm sorrryyyy!

That sounds far more interesting than the junior research paper I have to write. All juniors at my high school are required to write a lengthy research essay on a particular topic in order to pass English 11. This year the topic for non-AP classes is book controversies. I have to read the book Silas Marner by George Eliot (I wept because I didn't get East of Eden before another classmate) and write an 8-9 page paper on why it was banned, what the controversy was, et cetera. It's insufferably boring and agonizingly difficult, mostly because I can't find a damn thing on why my book was bad. Mr. Hughes says I got stuck with a really hard one - it figures. :C

That actually sounds like a project worthy of a much shorter paper. I had an eleventh grade English teacher named Mr. Hughes too. He was really weird and always late to our class.

On an unrelated note, since I'm too lazy to go back and quote it, I just want to say that, Biblio, that thank you think is very shiny and epic looking.

That sounds far more interesting than the junior research paper I have to write. All juniors at my high school are required to write a lengthy research essay on a particular topic in order to pass English 11. This year the topic for non-AP classes is book controversies. I have to read the book Silas Marner by George Eliot (I wept because I didn't get East of Eden before another classmate) and write an 8-9 page paper on why it was banned, what the controversy was, et cetera. It's insufferably boring and agonizingly difficult, mostly because I can't find a damn thing on why my book was bad. Mr. Hughes says I got stuck with a really hard one - it figures. :C
That actually sounds like a project worthy of a much shorter paper. I had an eleventh grade English teacher named Mr. Hughes too. He was really weird and always late to our class.
Heh, inorite?
And what's even worse is that we have to write a separate JRP for History class too, just because the stupid teachers couldn't decide whether they liked the papers in MLA or Turabian format better, so they figured they'd make us write two papers, one for each format, so they could make up their damn minds.

I've neer had to write in that style before. In fact, I had never heard to Chicago Style refered to in that term before. I'm used to MLA and I know some of APA.
Thanks to Blinq for the awesome sig. Click the sig, see my stuff.

Sure thing! Just make sure you upload it to your own imagehost before you do, otherwise my account might go over the limit.
I also removed the "we are the cops" text in case anyone wants it without the text.
My watermark is near the lower right. :)
If you could just simply mention "it was made by the user Vickinator" when posting it on the forums, that's all I ask for. Thanks again for the publicity, haha. :D

Lunaria: I never heard of that style either o____o;;
Since I'm a psych major I have only worked extensively with APA format. I'm "eh" on MLA because the last time I used it was in high school.
Incendiary: That's so stupid that you have to write in two formats for the same paper. -__-;
Anyway, I wish you luck on that paper. Yes, high school assignments can be taxing and ... annoying.
Luckily, in my senior year of high school, I got to read Dracula and write a decent research paper on it, so it wasn't too bad. The smaller paper assignments, however, were brutal.
elias, incendiary, lunaria, biblio, yuzikichan: Thanks to you all for commenting about my paper topic! :) I'm happy that it seems interesting -- later in the semester I will be also making a poster presentation on my topic, so it's good to know now that it'll be interesting for others.
Yuziki: What was your topic last year?
Biblio: Haha, I love making things for people too. (.. if you couldn't tell by now.. yeah.)
Your theme would TOTALLY be the superman theme. How 'bout that?
Thanks - since most of my paper assignments are fairly open-ended, I'd rather write 20 pages on something I find fascinating and thought-provoking (as you said) rather than really struggle with even writing 8 pages on something.. boring.
Like, sheesh. Last semester we had to write only 15-20 pages and I ended up writing 30, so... you could tell I was passionate about the topic.
YOU TOTALLY HIT THE COMPARISONS ON THE HEAD
My professor actually brought up the neck custom as well! You and my professor are on the same wavelength, apparently. :)
But yes.. when you do research, you should always read with a critical perspective. Depending on the background and perspective of the author, they may have certain biases towards outside cultures or other perspectives. It's always good to be open-minded when doing research. One author may say yaddayadda while another author on the same topic says THERE IS NO YADDAYADDA, and so on.
Trabz: You weren't far off at all, so don't worry about it. :)

My first week of this semester was freakin' awesome!! :]
Oh, and request-related, I finished Selom's request for the most part -- just need to add finishing touches and then upload.
I'll also then update the waitlist because Caelestis made a request via PM.
