My name is Melissa, Mel for short. I'm a 18 year old, young aspiring graphics artist. I come from a hole of a town called Ingham in Queensland Australia.
Wouldn't even surprise me if you ever find it on the map. I love graphic design, websites, internet, writing and my friends.
I loath those who steal, lie and take credit for other people's hard work, so please be aware of that before you steal from me.
Oh and I did indeed, it seems Santa wanted to give me a belated present this year, one which left my right foot swollen like a balloon. THANKS SANTA!!
Now I refused to think that I am a klutz, but at any rate we need to blame somebody for our many misfortunes in life, otherwise, where would the fun be. If we had to blame ourselves all the time for everything we do wrong or stuff up, I’m afraid we’d all be…taking responsibility. Eek, now I sound like the parentals. Maybe because I refuse to believe that I have no sense of equilibrium, was Santa’s inspiration to better show me how wrong I am. WRONG!! I bet he didn’t think I was smart enough to push all the blame on him.
Either way, I fell and it hurt like shit!!
So here’s the story. I’m at work (I work at McDonald’s for those who don’t know and am McCafe Co-Ordinator), and I was walking past the washup room and there was all this water all over the ground and I was kind of in a hurry because I was grabbing coffee cups from the stock room, and I was on my way back when it happened, because I was rushing back to my Customers so that I could deliver them the best effing coffee in town, because I’m sooo awesome like that. And I slipped and smashed my right foot on the steal grills (which cooks the meat patties). And now my foot hurts like hell, is bruised like hell, and is swollen to the size of Russia…okay so myabe I’m overexaggerating, but either way. IT HURTS!!!
So thus, I’m blaming Santa, as I believe it was his belated Xmas present to me, because he thinks he’s funny. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY INABILITY TO WALK ACROSS A FLAT SURFACE WITHOUT TRIPPING!!
Okay, so maybe it is…sue me

So remember last blog I said I wouldn’t change the layout because I was attached to it, well I guess I lied. I was having this awful layout block for my fan sites that I just decided to mess on Photoshop to find a new style, because I think that was my problem I needed to have a good experimentation session to get my groove back, and well I have to say I was rather successful if I do say so myself.
So it’s Grad week currently for me, I have finished all my final exams and today I got all my marks back, and I’m pleased to say I have passed and I am happy with my marks, here they are:
English: SA 9 (with a SAI of 255)
Modern History: HA 1
Drama: SA 6
Study of Religion: HA 5 (With a SAI of 311)
Mathematics A: SA 2(With a SAI of 209)
SA = Sound Achievement, it’s your B - C range.
HA = High Achievement, it’s your A- -B range.
SAI = Your rank within the level of achievement.
The number after the achievement shows what level you are on.
I now have two days before I officially graduate. YAY! To be exact that’s Friday the 21st, I’m so excited and so scared at the same time. If you have graduated from High School, what was it like for you?

So as of Tuesday I start my final exams of year 12, as of last week I completed my last classes EVER! So that leaves me after this week one week left of school, and that week is just grad week full of talks, special guests etc. So I a coming to an exciting time in my life. As of the 21st of November I will be a year 12 graduate.
So I won’t be doing much to anamarlia till grad week most likely, I may be shutting the place down for a content re-vamp, won’t be changing the layout because I’m attached to this one but I will be changing some coding, adding some colouring tutorials etc. I’m also thinking of getting rid of my PSP section since I no longer use the software so I don’t update it but let me know if you all still want it to stay.
On some lovely news I launched Kristen Stewart Online, it’s accessible from either http://kstewart.org/ or http://kristen-s.com/ so please give it a visit! And let me know what you think of it!
I need to upgrade wordpress, they keep putting out new versions and I am behind lol. And a notice to all hostees I am doing a clean out soon so if you haven’t open your site or haven’t updated since July this year I will be deleting you.

Yeah I got the bar, what’s that you might ask. It’s this implant you get in your arm which is actually another method of the contraceptive pill, ermmm but I’m not having sex, honestly it’s not for that :p I have alot of trouble with my monthlys, I’m so irregular it’s not funny, I get them early, I get them late, I sometimes get them for two weeks straight, ewwwyyyy, and the worst part it hurts so much, I have such bad cramps that I bawl my eyes out and scream in pain, not fun believe me. So this thing is new, it works for three years and eventually it stops you from getting a period, but don’t worry it doesn’t render you infertile and lets say I was 25 and wanted to have a baby even before the three years I can get it removed and the next day I’ll can fall pregnant, pretty nifty stuff.
The downside, it hurts so much, the worse part is getting the anesthetic needle, then afterwards, the bruising, the swelling, but it will go away and it’s worth it, anything to keep me from suffering. And well it could come in … um handy one day
SAFE SEX IS COOL SEX, MY DARLINGS! We don’t want any mini you’s running around.

I hate it when people make assumptions either about you, your intentions, or exactly what you are going to do in a situation. Newsflash my friends, do you think with my head? No. So therefore how can you know what I am going to do? Assumptions are never a good thing, they only make you look stupid when you are wrong.
So where is this all coming from? You might ask me. Okay so this not only happens to me in everyday life, it happens to me on my online life. I come on to do my job as a moderator, and they are getting all bitchy about how all these threads are closed I replied saying it’s not like we have a vendetta against you it happens either the rules have been broken or we’ve been instructed to delete/close certain threads. Is that our fault? No. It’s called doing your job.
So someone fired back with, saying things like ‘you guys do have a vendetta.’ And that our reasons for deleting just make no sense, and oh the best one when I said ’so what you’re saying is just because it’s in general it’s okay to be rude to others, that would mean you condoning cyber-bullying right there.’ And what do I get ‘I’ll see you in court.’ I’m tired of seeing people use the whole court thing, it’s like they are hiding behind the law, and not because they know what they are on about but because they think that if they pretend to know about it it’ll make them look tough and cool. Another newsflash, how can you take me to court when 1) you don’t know my name, and 2) if it did get there I’m sure the judge will laugh in your face, this person in particular has been banned countless times and has been involved in almost all the trouble making so therefore a statement form The Admins, mods and possibly WB would clear that one up, in much case they would be humiliated because they would lose in the first second. Lesson be learned, don’t hide behind a law you know nothing about, it doesn’t make you cool, it makes you look stupid. Plus it makes you look like someone who is scared, the kind that hides behind their older brother or sister and allows them to do their bidding. Pathetic.
So what’s assumed next when I said it was 3 AM and I couldn’t be bothered to argue with a brick wall, what we said is the way it is, no arguing will change that either. I’m told I didn’t argue back because I knew I was wrong. I mean WTF I think you can clearly see as above I had multiple ways to argue back I just chose not to because I couldn’t be bothered arguing to a brick wall, not because I knew I was wrong, but because I have class, I won’t lower myself to their level, arguing wasn’t going to change a thing so why bother. Ever met someone who thinks they know everything? This person is EXACTLY that, why waste my breath?

So this play has been pimped, as you can all see, did something a little different this time, I like it. I’ve added and changed things on the site. The PSD’s section is being wiped and I’m re-vamping, my cutting is better I hate those ones they are poor as. I also have updates *shock horror*

I DO I DO!!!!! Because that will mean I’ll actually be able to be around to bore you with my ‘non exciting’ life, yes I know we always love hearing about it, no don’t lie you know it’s the highlight of the day and right now you are all going through withdrawals from my lack of blogging. :p To be perfectly honest I’ve never been much of a blogger more because I really truly don’t wish to bore you all but hey if you want to hear more from me, I’m happy oblige I just think I could save you all the useless reading lol.
Well graduation is around the corner I’m in third term. Term three and four are my busiest so do expect me to literally go MIA from time to time, and that makes it around thirteen more weeks left before I can officially say I’ve completed highschool, then woop off to uni here I go. And yes more time for here.
Well guess what guys I got nothing for you, I haven’t made any graphics at all. For two reasons, I’m working on two sites at the moment (fan-sites), and because of my limited time because of school work. But once those sites are running and re-vamped I shall turn my attention to anamarlia, and first off will be a new layout because this one is giving me the shits lol.
Currently I just added a donation button I’d appreciate and cherish anyone who would donate, all proceeds go towards keeping this little spot on the www open, so hosting and domain costs plus resources I need to acquire. SO PLEASE DONATE! I’ll love you all forever.
As for site content, if there’s anything you want please let me know and when I turn my attention to graphics I’ll be sure to make some stuff for what you guys want. Until then, peace out!

It’s so hard to believe that tomorrow I will be online for a year, I re-newed the domain for another year a couple of weeks ago but tomorrow is it’s official birthday of when it opened a year ago. This site has been through many changes, the good the bad and the ugly layouts, and has been overhauled many times in my obsessive compulsiveness lol. So to celebrate new layout and a traditional thing to do, the layout is the first person who featured on anamarlia’s first layout, kelly Clarkson adn ironically without even realizing I used the same photos. Here is anamarlia’s first layout, I’ve come such a long way I think.

See all of the layouts from version one to sixteen here: http://anamarlia.com/site/pastlayouts.php.
So I’ve been sick still am, I lost vision in my eyes I have a visual disability so when I get sick my eye sight blurs over I’m supposed to sit my already postponed exams next week but I don’t think that’s going to be happening mum’s ringing up the deputy principle tomorrow. So most likely I’ll be sitting exams next term. I can’t read anything much at the moment, I only have one good eye at the moment which has weakened also but is better than the other but concentration on things even this is creating many many migraines so for study I can sit down long enough and read to retain anything.
Enough of that, I do have two measly updates I haven’t been doing much other than layouts for clients. I have one new siganture and one new avatar.
Anyone it’s 1AM here, time to hit the sack.
