Sometimes…

when I look at my classmate’s designs, I want to tell them that it looks disgusting. I’m not saying mine is any better, but we should be designing for the future.

Take for example one our projects: Newspaper Redesign

One element of this project is to redesign the layout of the newspaper to save this dying news industry. And then someone in my class designs this:

I want to comment and tell her all the things that aren’t working, but wouldn’t you know it, she disables commenting and notes. 

I think it’s poorly designed, but maybe you guys like it. Do you think this is an attractive, readable, well designed layout?

Late Night Fashion Rant

I cannot emphasize this enough:

Non-prescription glasses are stupid! People who choose to wear them to be “hipster” are stupid.

THE FOLLOWING ARE NO-NOs (according to me and only me)

—yes. I’m discriminating, but whatever. 

HIPSTER is a negative term. One of the frames is even called “Emo Poser Nerd Retro Clear 

It’s the equivalent of calling someone a redneck.

I’m sorry, but if you believe Jesus/Virgin Mary appears in pancakes, sandwiches, or CONDOMS… then I don’t think you should be able to vote.
Totally stupid.

Long Post

My mom was talking to me today for the longest time about wanting me to change my major. She thinks that a graphic design major would be too hard for me to find a job after college and that’s the only reason why she wants me to change. Like she’s a pretty good representation of a stereotypical asian mom who wants their kid, me, to find a job in the health field or in law.

I just checked my email and got this in my Wufoo and here’s my response:

Don’t tell me to keep my posts clean. 
I can bitch about whatever I want. 
If you don’t like it, than don’t follow me. It wouldn’t matter if I have 0 followers, I will still post whatever I want.

Drinking Alcohol

Why would anyone want to drink to the point where you lose consciousness or even where you’re just simply buzzed and spurt our those secrets about yourself? I see no benefit to this at all. 

An argument may be that it relaxed your body so you’re more comfortable with those around you. I can’t say that it’s true in all cases, but I’ll just accept by fiat that it is.

Okay, I agree, BUT it still doesn’t require you to get drunk.

I drink, but never to the point of “drunk.”

Non-Prescription Glasses (not for reading)

I lose a little respect for people who buy and wear them. They’re ridiculous.

I Am Pissed Off. >:(

Someone (who will remain nameless) keeps snagging my image URLs for icons I made on my friend’s theme and are using it for themselves without asking me. 

I even went through the trouble of deleting the image URLs, renaming the files, and re-uploading them so I know for sure they’d have new URL names. Then I decided to make an external style sheet so the image URLs lie inside. That way if they ever decide to steal them again, I’ll know for sure they’d had have to make the extra effort in opening the CSS file to do so.

And guess what… they did it again. And not even an hour after I re-did my friend’s theme this jerk stole them again.

You know, I wouldn’t care at all if it was a clip art or some image from the internet, but since it was an icon that I MADE and had only one specific purpose it really pissed me off.

HAGS!

I hated people in high school who wrote “HAGS” in my yearbook. For one thing, I didn’t realize what it stood for so I thought it was like a school meme that I never got. 

When I learned what it stood for, I felt the people who wrote it in my yearbook didn’t care as much as I’d hope. It’s just 4 words. “Have a good summer.” Meh. Whatever.

People also wrote crap like:

  • “What 5 bucks? Me too”
  • “Don’t you hate it when people take up the whole page?” (and they write in really big letters which actually do take up the whole page”
  • “I’m signing your yearbook. I’m signing your yearbook.”
  • “Hey, Sup?”

 Seriously.. WTF?

I Quit Tumblarity

Dear Tumblr,

I played your game called Tumblarity ever since it was released. I believed you guys had good intentions when you released it so I went with it since you guys haven’t steered me wrong… until now.

My Tumblarity fell over 200+ point when I went to take a shower. Then another 300+ when I went to class. WTF? I want to know how this number is calculated right now. I don’t want a figurative explaination, I want mathematical answers.

So with that said, I quit Tumblarity.

 

About Me [+]

Heading into finals weeks which means a load of stress. Luckily I have amazing friends and a great boyfriend to take my mind off it all. This week, school. Next week, cleaning up and packing for my vacation. I'm not sure when I'll be back exactly, but I'll hop on Tumblr as soon as I can.
