Well, I'm Olivia and this is my blog. I'm not too good at describing myself but you can get to know me and become my friend if you want to. I like to make wallpapers and vectors in my free time. If you're curious and want to find out more about me, check this page ^_^
My main goal isn't having a lot of downloads on my wallpapers, but providing high quality graphics. I try to credit as much as possible, but if you think I used something of yours without permission, please notify me and we will discuss the matter.
Here's my e-mail address, in case you need it: exploring.the.infinity@gmail.com.
I've kind of stopped commenting on artwork. You'll still see me around, but only on better-than-average works. Why? Simply because I've been in the graphics "business" for some time and now I have higher standards than before; also, most of the works here are similar and I've grown tired of giving the same advice, over and over again. Sorry, but you'll only see a comment of mine if I like your work.

My very own personal rules:

  • No stealing my graphics! If you need something I used, just PM me and I'll tell you where I got it from.
  • No guest-book one-liners, "I love your site, I'm addin ya!" or "Visit my site!" stuff! I'll ignore these posts (and the posters). Be creative.
  • Me your friend = you comment on my stuff (posts and artwork). I'm not asking you to comment on each and every one; once in a while is enough :] I don't update too often (once a week at most), so it shouldn't be difficult to come by and leave a comment. If you're busy, I'll understand.
  • If you're PM'ing me to complain about something, provide arguments. I won't pay attention to stuff which doesn't make sense.
  • Moderation: I handle gallery items mainly (wallpapers, to be specific), so if you've spotted some misplaced gallery items leave me a comment or a PM and I'll move them ^_^

If you have a question, please read the rules first. If it isn't answered there, feel free to ask me. Please be polite and I will be as well.

Learn of my awesomeness~

Teen trends

Well, I wasn't supposed to post so soon (lol, 8 days since the last post) but I was thinking about this yesterday. Sometimes I'm amazed at how easily teens change their point of view and opinions, just because there's a certain trend in their gangs. Personally, I find this degrading -it's quite sad when you look at it, but I suppose it's because of the age. Yup, blame it on the age.

First trend I remember was in primary school (1st-4th grade): Harry Potter. My dad got me the first 3 books for my birthday and I was impatient to get my hands on the 4th one. One day, one of the classmates brought it to school! We were in the 4th grade at that time so we weren't really a united group -that's why he left the book on his desk but wouldn't give it to anyone! He was just showing it off because he knew almost everyone in the class was crazy about Harry Potter (me included, me and a classmate used to "throw spells" at each other during class XD)

Next came secondary school (5th-8th grade): I moved to a different class. Around 6th grade there was a trend with Linkin Park. Everyone LOVED Linkin Park. Then came Dimmu Borgir, Metallica and a few others I can't remember right now.

About the time I got into high school (9th-12th grade), the band Tokio Hotel was famous and had a lot of fans. I don't like their songs, they're not anything special to me, but it seems like many people don't agree with me *sighs* Well, I went to my former school to visit my teachers one day, and what I saw left me jaw-open: a lot of the girls were wearing Tokio Hotel T-shirts! "A lot" means more than half of the girls I saw.

I have no problem with other people liking something I don't, I hate it when people try to shove it in my face and make me like it! For example, I've heard a lot of girls saying "You don't like Bill?! You're so uncool!" to their girl friends and looking at them with disgust (Bill's the lead singer for TH). It's a shame that some don't accept the fact that others have different opinions, it would make life easier for everyone!

Eh, I hope this wasn't too boring, I've been wanting to write about this topic for quite some time now. What about you? I'm sure you've all experienced this "trend mania" at one point or another in your lives. Feel free to share it! Thank you for all the support, my dear friends, and I hope I haven't let you down by not commenting in a while, I'm here to stay! Have a great week!
