On The Road Again...

Posted at 11:43 PM on Jun. 28, 2007

Alright this is going to be one short entry!

I just wanted you to know that I'm going to be leaving at 6am tomorrow (with a fully charged phone this time - AND the camera, Mom says!).

We'll be seeing the Badgleys and the Dixons (sorry I don't have time to link to anyone; I'm in a real rush)!

But let me leave you with:

What do you think I should have as my avatar?

The orginal happy-go-lucky Tux (I'm not sure why he's got purple on him)?

  

 

Or the new "Dancin' Groovin' I've got a headache" Tux?

  

Does the new one make you a bit sick? Is he kind of anoying?

Please post your thoughts!

Vote!!!

 

 

:D

 

See you when I get back!

I'm gonna be sick...

You're 'spose to be helping me through this time, not exacerbating it further. By the way, 'annoying' has two n's. I probably spelled exacerbating wrong, though. Two wrongs don't make a right. We should do some spelling together, what say ye?

Well as for me I have had the same avatar for the whole time I have been blogging so I vote that you chose one (the glowy sort of purply bordered one) and stick with it

I don't like the tux trying to escape. It has a purple border because it's a transparent .gif and it has soft edges. I think I have a tux with a good background if you want.

he looks scared, shaking like that :P
Maybe if the motion were a little slower and smoother, might catch your eye while not making you sick :P

~ Hey Again....~

Oh, that's fine with me. I'm amazed at how you balance so much going on! I should really start making my own banners....I've just been too busy (maybe even a little bit lazy at the same time) to put much mental effort into it. I want to make something with the GIMP.

Hmm...I didn't think of the vibrating penguin as being sickening until you mentioned it. But I think it's okay, because chances are no one is going to spend much time staring at it. ;-D

Why do you like penguin's so much?

I would say, how about you put a picture of you in your avatar. I have some picture's of you if you want me to E-mail them to you or something...but the majority (sp?) of those are funny picture's!
Your cousin,
Annie

Hi!

The moving penguin makes me feel wierd... I prefer the not-moving one!

Erm... Well... I can't really link to the programs... but here are there names.....

FLASH v8 or v9) The best 2D animation software, but very tricky and annoying at first....

Windows Moviemaker) It crashes all the time, makes you mad, is very fustrating but... you can animate on it! All my early animations where done on it like this one (my first moviemaker animation so it's not very good...) : http://youtube.com/watch?v=dGv3792jxF4

StopMotion Pro v5) A fab stop motion piece of software only for photo by photo animation though...

There you go! They are what I use to animate!

See'ya!

You know, I get headaches easily, so what "Annie" said... why not a picture of you? Though you kinda do have tons of pics of you already, and I don't know what people would rather see, an overload of you or an overload of penguins. How about you in a penguin costume?
Don't worry, I'm not always that unhelpful.
Say hola to the Dixons for me!

Ok I tried to put up an entry, but I can't get photobucket to work on this library pc, so I have to go home and do it. I will have it up ASAP!!
Now... I like the moving one. But Tux is cool, so if he is moving or not, he will still be cool.
I am sooo sore all over. My neck doesn't even hurt from almost being torn off my head. Amazing!! LOL!!
I pulled something in my leg from leaning to throw that knife.
And I LOVE the pink bar on your sidebar!! LOL!! My fav color!!
Can't wait to see your entry!!
Can't wait for you to come back. I hope 2 weeks flies. I still can't believe you are coming back. That is AWESOME!!
As Always...

OK.... So where is your post?? I know you have to be working on it, right?? You have to tell me when its up. Of course I am leaving your blog open and am refreshing it every 5 min, so I can be the first to comment on it...
But if you don't hurry up I won't be able to comment on it til Sat. Unless Mom lets me... PLEASE MOM!!
PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE the title "On The Road Again" I HATE THAT SONG WITH A PASSION. It is so hillbillyish...
