Bored and waiting.

This is what I did as I waited for four o'clock to roll around, when I'll be going to my friend's house to sleep over. Yay tutorials!

Tutorials

I officially LOVE tutorials. :D They're so fun! I want to make my own eventually, if I get enough experience doing all these different types of signatures. So here's two I made today. One's a picture of Lake George that I animated with rain, and the other is just a fun sig that I entered in the SOTW. Woot!

(I need to remind myself to only post images in LARGE, because they don't look right in medium.)

Underwater

Hehe, I love to swim. :) It's so fun. Anyways, I had found a huge list of tutorials for GIMP http://planetrenders.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=56374 <-here
and I used http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Enguarde-Underwater-Signature-Tutorial-intermediate-advanced-Difficulty-19378-1.html <-this one.
Here's the product:

I recently decided that I'm going to try a bunch of tutorials from that page to get a feel for all the different things I could make.

Homecoming Parade

The homecoming parade was a lot shorter than I expected it to be, but it was so much fun. In my opinion, we were the only group of people that was there for something they believed in. Sure, there were the cheerleaders and the football team, which homecoming is based on, but then there were the typical clubs like the Italian-American club (which barely anyone showed up to march with for some reason) and the Steppers and the Spanish-American club and such. I was so proud of all of us, because we finally got involved with school activities. :) Here's some pictures of our glorious achievement.

It's kind of difficult to tell, but this is a picture of Mickey from Fantasia controlling all of the brooms to do his chores for him. (We were all supposed to wear tye dye as well... but that didn't turn out so well.)

Too many books.

I've been coming to this realization lately that I have too many books to read, and not a big enough attention span to read them all. It's really starting to become a problem. I think I might have to spend my weekends away from the computer to read. :P

Anyways, here's the GSA banner my friend and I made for our Homecoming parade on Saturday. The theme is Disney. :) Isn't it awesome?
