<description>Some of you might be confused as to why you are still getting updates from me when I have no internet.  Let me explain this to you.
1) We have internet, my computer just isn't hooked up to it.
2) The wifi works, but my only source of wifi is my iPod, and coding on that is highly annoying.
3) Lauren could update, yes, but she is busy doing other things.

I have been making things in my spare time, like a new layout, but I just have never had the time to transport them from my computer to either my mom's or dad's that are actually connected to the internet.  Therefore, I have no new content for you... but I am still working on it. 

Sorry again for not updating lately or anything of that sort... I just don't want to update if I have no new content to add... I am still reachable via email, neomail, comments on posts, or commenting the cbox.  So yes, I am still here... Just saying.  And that's all for today(:

<description>Oh yeah, that's right :)  I just learned how to make glitters thanks to Taylor and I have definitely been putting that skill to use xD  I am aware that currently 2 of the glitters aren't sparkling (that would be because I am a dummy and didn't save them as animations. grr.)  so, I'll just have to go back and remake them at some point.


Glitters



Also, Just made some new emoticons :heart: (:  I know they're not fantastic or anything, but it's my first go at it.  I'll make them available shortly.  And, I'll make some more in different colors and different styles. :D

Finally, I am going to update this old layout soon.  Don't get me wrong, I love it and everything... just time for a change.  I'm going to try and use some of my newly found javascript skills.  However, I am waiting until I get Ben's old computer with Adobe on it.  Not sure when this will be, but that's ok.  Awww, Ben's such a sweet guy:)

And now off to go make more something, not sure what... maybe layouts of some sort?  Oh wait... I should use this time to transfer all of the stuff from my old sites to this one that I still haven't done yet.  That's all for tonight kids, I'll talk to you all later...

ooo, I like my angry smiley: x/  tee hee.

<title>Myspace, whaaat?</title>

<description>Correct.  Those of you who know me know that I'm not such a big fan of myspace.  It's not that it wasn't great in it's day... I've just moved on from it.  Kind of like Xanga.  Yeah, all you youngins are like whaaat???  Yeah, I had an Xanga in 8th grade.  Anywho... I've noticed that there are still a lot of loyal myspacers who still want layouts and graphics and other such things... so I decided to make a few.  Bring over the ones from my old myspace premade site, and add some myspace to raveshock.

However, don't be surprised to hear that since this site really isn't primarily myspace, at all, everything will be over on myspace.raveshock.com.  ALSO, BE WARNED, as of right now, there is no content on the site... I just got the site up and everything running.  I'm testing out some javascript... as in, trying to learn to use it.  I also learned how to make glitters much more efficiently, thanks to Taylor.

Now, I don't want to be late for work, so I must be off... I'll see you all when I get back in 5 or 6 hours.

<description>Well, this is the last week until I'm off to Indiana for a missions trip.  This is exciting for many reasons:
1. SAJE!  Youth Group!  Reliving Winterfest!
2. Vacation. Trip. Getting away from this place for a week.
3. Helping people, of course.
4. I might actually get to meet Laur, for the first time!!!  We live about, hmm... idk 8-12 hours apart, so as you can imagine it's hard to just say, oh, let's hang out... we'll meet half way =p  It's just really ironic and funny that we happen to be vacationing really close to each other at the same time!  OK, well, vacation is pushing it for me... because there won't be much relaxing...

However, this means that next week (the 11th-17th) we'll be on a mini hiatus seeing as I won't have access to a computer and Laur won't either... plus, even if she did, she isn't much of the updating regularly sort =p  Also, it means that this week I actually have something to do EVERY DAY, which I'm excited for!  But, I don't know how much I'll get done then.

BUT, some good news... I did try my hand at icon base making... they're not really the best, but I would use them... I also added some new icons.


Icon Bases
  

Icons
    


Anywho, that's what's new for the week.  Keep checking back, and we'll keep adding stuff.  Also, we HAVE added the twitter, which will get updated a lot more regularly then this, so you can always check that in the side bar... and we also added a C-BOX.  If you see something you like, don't be shy, tell us!

Oh 100 degrees summer... yuck.  Well, off to go add more content and then work =p

<description>Alright, well, we kind of have been a little dead lately, haven't we?  Hmm... there just hasn't been much to update.

I am really sorry to say, that we actually CAN'T host sites, because our host is switching over and we won't be able to host anyone now... new rules =/  Can't say that I'm a fan of that, but she has her reasons, and I will oblige by her and her rules.  So, I am sorry to those of you who applied... I would very much have liked to accept you, I just can't.

I'm thinking about getting a twitter for RaveShock.  Both Laur and I have one, and yeah... that's about all.  I actually have been craving to make more layouts lately, I just don't have any inspiration... so maybe I'll just go at it it.  I just hope that people are using what we make.  If you could comment or something to let me know?  Hmm... maybe I should add a c-box/tagboard or something so people can contact other than just posting on the blog... update or whatever you may have it.

You know what?  I'm thinking we could use another person to help out around here.  If you're interested, let me know...  hmphh.

Oh... and Tumblr (mine), yeah... slightly addicted.  Check it out and whatnot(:

That's all for today... just wanted to let you know that we AREN'T dead... and all that jazz.  Love and peace to you all.

<description>So, in case you haven't noticed the site's new theme... it would be paper.  I suppose it all came about in Computer Art when I finished my project a week or 2 early and had nothing to do.  I decided to do a tutorial for making paper text, and that was how this layout was born.  I made it in Illustrator CS4 which is a nice change of pace from my usual Gimp creations =p The problem is not getting the programs, which I have, it's having enough RAM on my ancient computer... and I have multiple ancient computers.  Anyway, enough of that sob story.

We've also added Altador layouts and graphics... or are in the process of adding that.  I know that's pretty big with all you neopets people, so here is as good as place as any to get your Altador paraphernalia.  Actually, all we have right now is Maraqua (because that's my team =p)

I know we've had hosting and tutorials up since this site opened and there is nothing on the page, but I have been working on it.  We're almost ready to host people, but for some reason the ftp folder won't show up on my computer =/ It works though, because it shows up on Ben's computer (and for those of you who don't know, Ben is my computer nerd techy... bahaha. We help each other out with random coding questions and problems... he's saved my butt a few times.)  But alright, off to make more Altador layouts.  Oh, and there is a new pet page style which is quite simple, but I really like it.  Enjoy.

<description>That's right, you heard it straight from the mouth of Jayy herself, THERE IS SOMETHING NEW! (besides the whole fact of me stopping using this as a personal blog - that's what I have blogger and tumblr for. xD)

I made a new petpage!  Yes, I have been uber busy lately and haven't been able to get anywhere near my computer in over a week.  *sigh* the woes of a working girl.  After this, I won't be on much again for a while, seeing as my life is pretty busy now.  But, I DID add pet pages to the site... even if it was only one.  It's a very pretty one, so it should be alright(:  I have more, and I still need to finish transferring all of the twilight stuff over onto this site.  The password to get on and delete Irrevocably Twilight is still MIA, so we'll be on the lookout for that.

And again, sorry for the no-show-ness of both Laur and I.  We are both so busy and hardly ever have time anymore, but we're still here.  I still check and answer comments from my touch in my spare time everyday, so feel free to leave them.  I check my email too... so you can always contact me(:

Anywho, I suppose that's it for today.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAIT!... oo, tomorrow I will have been 18 for half a year.  sheesh. oldddd =p haha.

<p>I made a new petpage!  Yes, I have been uber busy lately and haven&#8217;t been able to get anywhere <u>near</u> my computer in over a week.  <i>*sigh*</i> the woes of a working girl.  After this, I won&#8217;t be on much again for a while, seeing as my life is pretty busy now.  But, I <u>DID</u> add pet pages to the site&#8230; even if it was only one.  It&#8217;s a very pretty one, so it should be alright(:  I have more, and I still need to finish transferring all of the twilight stuff over onto this site.  The password to get on and delete <a href="http://neopets.com/~ohmytwilight">Irrevocably Twilight</a> is still <b>MIA</b>, so we&#8217;ll be on the lookout for that.</p>
<p>And again, sorry for the no-show-ness of both Laur and I.  We are both so busy and hardly ever have time anymore, but we&#8217;re still here.  I still check and answer comments from my touch in my spare time everyday, so feel free to leave them.  I check my email too&#8230; so you can always contact me(:</p>
<p>Anywho, I suppose that&#8217;s it for today.  <b>HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAIT!</b>&#8230; oo, tomorrow I will have been 18 for half a year.  sheesh. oldddd =p haha.</p>

<description>sorry guys, life's been busy.  I managed to make a new layout and update my site ICU.  I also started 2 new layouts based off of An Abundance of Katherines, a book by one of my favorite authors, John Green.  If you haven't read it yet, then go do so!

Other than that, nothing.  I am getting photoshop, illustrator, and flash soon though, so I'm really excited(:  Haha, I know... that makes me a nerd.  I'll try to get the rest of the twilight layouts up here asap... but I've been having a lot of computer issues with that.

Add to the list of layouts or let me know which ones you would use:
-Neopets (pet page and userlookup)
-Website
-Tumblr
-Blogger
-Twitter
-Myspace

Love you all

<description>you take up all of my free time.
did you know that's what happens when you start working?
and you end up missing a lot of things you want to do =/
*sigh*

So, nothing really new... I just felt like there needed to be a post. AND HOLY POO! I MUST EAT NOW!... I'm about to participate in the 30 hour famine... and idk if I can make it.  I love eating too much, not to mention that I have to go to work for part of it.
I work at a food place.
Tomorrow is the lockin though, so I'm really excited(:  At least for that part of it.  DARNET! I KEEP FORGETTING TO LOOK AT BEN'S THING!  Alright, so I suppose I'll just post this picture that I made for my tumblr, which if you want to see: http://ohemjayy.tumblr.com  (and laur's - that she shares with her friend sarah - http://magic-happens.tumblr.com)  I am oh-so proud of my first layout ever for my tumblr(: haha.  Anyway, I decided to make it my picture blog... tell me what you think.



Anywho, other than that, nothing new with the site.  Sorry that I've been so tremendously busy lately.  I'm planning on adding lots of new layouts - John Green, Abundance of Katherines(:  I loveeeee John Green.  Also, I'm still in the process of adding all of the Twilight stuff from our site, Irrevocably Twilight.  Which, we are closing (as soon as I remember how to log into it =p haha)  And that's it for tonight.  Leave comments, I do love them so(:

<description>I love you guys.
I love that you love the songs I write.
And it love that we are all friends and have fun together and share things that other people don't fully get.

Hey everyone, it's been a few days, you all are wondering What is new in Jayy's life?  Let's see.  Still aggravated by boys.  I think that's a reoccurring theme though.  I mean, boys are always stupid.  And if it's not one of them, it's the other.
I've written 2 songs within the past 3 days or so.  Woooo.  I'm on a roll.  The one was pretty much inspired by some crap that me, Abz, and Em are going through right now.  I'm pretty sure it's our anthem... haha, maybe not really.  But Em did say it was her theme song.  The other one is about getting away and enjoying the sun and the freedom.  I don't know about you, but I've been loving this fantastic weather we've been having!  Ahh... it's the best!
Work starts tomorrow.  Yippee.. can't wait.  Went out and got all of my work clothes tonight... that was an interesting experience.  I had a nice, long chat with my mom about a lot of different things.. haha.
Alright, I think now I'm going to ask you guys questions about things that me and my friends are going through right now...

1. What do you do right after a break up?
2. What do you do if you like a guy who you know you shouldn't/who doesn't like you back?
3. Ever had guys be completely pigs towards you?
4. How about ever had a guy tell you that he really likes you, and then just stop completely talking to you?
5. What do you do when your best guy friend get's mad at you and then won't even consider making up?
and 6. As a guy, are you offended by all this negativity towards you just because most all of the guys in my life right now are a-holes? -- well, that's why I'm throwing all of that out there.

Bahh... I'd really just like to get away from it all.  And school is ending so soon for me... I'm never going to see these people again.  Good or bad? I'm not sure yet.

So, dear Abby and Emily, you both know that I love you and that you make me smile(:  Hope you have a fantastic day everyone... sorry I haven't done much to update the site =/

<description>Could you please stop being so dumb?
I am so sick of you.
Ugh.

So, a new layout is up... as you can hopefully see.  Laur and I decided when we first opened the site that we would have a theme for possibly each month.  I asked her what the theme for THIS month should be, and she said Umbrellas... so here we are.  With our new umbrella theme.  We have new pictures in the sidebar, new default gravatar images, new images on the staff page, new buttons, and obviously a new layout to match it all.  Also, I'm in the process of putting all the old layouts back up.  So if codes are missing, it's because I'm not quite done with it yet.

Also, I've decided to close down most of my other sites.  It's actually pretty sad because some of them were really popular.  Well, when I say really, I mean it relatively.  Anywho, I'm putting all of their content onto this site, so get ready to be slammed with lookups, pet pages, and graphics(:

I'm working on a new song on the guitar.  Who knows how it will end up... I really like the chorus though, so that's a good sign(:  I can't say much else is going on my life... besides everything that has sparked the first 3 lines, which I'm not going to talk about here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN, JESME, MY OTHER HALF, BUBBLES!!! I love you((: !!

Oh, it's Saint Patrick's Day too... isn't it?  I actually wore green today, but didn't try it... haha. oh well.  Anyone do anything fun or celebrate good ol' saint patty's day?

Anyway, I should probably get to bed soon anyway.  Good night all, and thanks for your comments, I love hearing from you(:

<description>You just killed my feet.
And even though it's warmer, it still isn't time to go outside in a skirt, high heels, and a t-shirt.
My hands are numb.

My friend Emily is here right now... sitting RIGHT NEXT TO ME!  She helped me get pictures for the new theme we're going to have on RaveShock.

This is what we did... we like to sled in the rain.... with no snow.  We've also been singing, Don't Stop Believing... &quot;SHUT UPPPPPPPP&quot;  Yeah... we're having a good time, if you couldn't guess... maybe I'll even upload the video... maybe.

So I've been working on the site for most of the day... we got out at 10:30 so I've had time.  But this is really hard to type with em sitting here, so I'll leave you with this thought:

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS... it's not my fault your actions made you look like a douchebag.  I WISH HE WOULD JUST ACT MATURE. not like a 10 year old... girl.

<description>I hate what you've done to my friend.
I hate what he's done to my best friends because of you.
I don't like seeing this happen, I don't want it to happen, please grow up and stop.  All 5 of you.

Musical is finally over.  Today was horrible because of you.  I have a cold which prevents me from singing, and that makes me sad.  My throat hurts and my nose is running, and it's awful.
I'm trying to write a new song with chord progression inspired by Jimmy.  Lyrics inspired by Kara, Abby, Emily, and you others... I wish you (brat-pack) and others that are causing problems would just stop.

Youth group tonight was fun.  Well needed.  Yes and No. But not all together.  That's our motto.  And hopefully I'll be able to update more and add back more content, since I've hardly been home at all for the past week... but who knows.  I have a job interview tomorrow, so wish me luck(:

And all those of you wondering, LAUREN EXISTS... she just has a life and doesn't always like to update(:

So thank-you, brat-pack for ruining a perfectly good weekend. perfectly good friendship.

<description>How are you today?  Fine?  Well, that's fantastic for you.  But let me just tell you,
You are tiring me out.
And I hardly even do anything besides sit there for most of rehersal waiting for my time to go on.
You are messing with my friends.
Everyone is stressed out and the drama is crazy.
You are eating up all of my free time.
Again, time spent working on my site has to be spent sitting in a hallway for 3 hours.
And you are going to be AWESOME when you are done.
Why yes musical, you are causing me so many problems, I will be happy for it to be over, but I think you are actually worth all of our time.

In other news, I was listening to all of the songs on my iPod and I heard this song by Kate Voegele, Wish You Were Here... which I've had for over 2 years, I just haven't really listened to it.  Well, I have to say that I now LOVE that song.  Like, I really like the guitar picking (which I really want to learn how to do. *sigh*) And it has good music, good melody, and what really got me was the words.  It's funny, cuz I listen to songs and pick out parts that apply to me, but hardly ever does a whole song apply to me and my life.  And hearing it for the first time tonight was amazing timing... just random tidbits of my life that you don't care about that I feel compelled to share.

Still looking for affies.  I don't want a whole bunch like some sites, but a few more than I have would be nice.  And thanks to all of the awesome people that I currently have as affies anyway(:  And thanks for everyone's comments... I love hearing from you!  Still waiting until I have enough time to add more to the site... It's feeling a little empty right now.

And yes, Abby, Sam, and I did a Lady Gaga Medley but Abby was sick and Sam wasn't sure how loud she should sing, so it sounds really bad because first of all, no one wants to hear me sing anyway =p  and secondly, having the alto line being the loudest part is not the best... not when it isn't the melody.  We'll record again, once I'm able to bring Ellie back to school.  We're also working on other songs that I've written... and you should hear those. Put the Smile Back in Place is a song I wrote for Lauren... though if you decide to click that link and listen to it, keep in mind that that was pre-good guitar and that was an off-day for my singing. ha.

So in short, dear musical,
My life is hectic, crazy, and insane right now.
And it's all your fault =p
But I still love you.

<description>how are you today?  I have to say I am quite alright.  I went to Borders with my mother and got The Host and An Abundance of Katherines... oh and a $1 calendar that they tried to ring up at full price xD.  Life without the braces?  It's nice... the retainer is ANNOYING though... sheesh.

So I've been spending today working on the site... when I wasn't out and about.  I FINALLY figured out how to get fanupdate to be somewhat normal.  I still don't have the layout perfect or anything, but it is much better than it was!  I also cleaned up the content page a bit.  Now everything that is on there actually has content under the link, and the links are much, much prettier.  And the bright green links were bugging me, so I changed them to orange.  *sigh* Now comes the part of trying to get all the layouts back on here.  That will be annoying, and won't get done for the next week because. GUESS WHAT  I have freaking musical practice all this week.  The musical is next weekend, and we've missed so many practices because of the snow that we're far behind.  I'll let you know how that goes.

And hopefully, my friend Abby and I (and Sam too?) will get some more songs and covers up on our youtube.  We only have one song up... the song I wrote... and it's with my crappy guitar and it's not the best we've ever sung it.  So here's hoping that sometime this week, we'll get more.  Better songs with a better guitar.

And that my friends, is the end of it.  It's almost 10 and I have to finish my history homework and get ready for school in the 'morrow.  Looking for some affies, so if you're interested, comment(:

Love you all!
