Hello & welcome to my journal! I've finally decided what to do with this journal! Kind of... I think... who knows every week I have a new obsession.

So I have not read a book/novel in five years? Wasn’t in the mood I guess =/ anyway I just found http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page on that website you get all the classics & some non-copyrighted books for free! Best part about Project Gutenberg is you don’t have to sign up! Enough already pretty soon we’ll have to sign up for every website on the internet; so annoying! They have zip files with the books in notepad the worst part of that is that you can’t bookmark where you are on a page so if you close the window you have to start from the beginning of the document every time I type a couple lines of a @%$& symbol so that when a scroll down I find my place. Easy enough in my opinion! Another thing I like about Project Gutenberg is that the books in most cases have the paragraph structure intact some websites I’ve been on mush all the text into one big homogeneous wall of text no chapters no paragraphs nothing =/ so I like that about Gutenberg’s books. The one improvement I’d like to see is for them to put works completed on the author’s pages that they have all of the works for or a note with titles they are still looking for. Anyway here’s some other free download sites you might like (^_^)b

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page Project Gutenberg (aka PG) has the largest collection of public domain books. These are the books that out of copyright and available for anyone to use for any purpose. Lots of books from the world’s greatest fiction authors such as Dickens, Joyce, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Anton Chekov and Edgar Allan Poe fall into this category. This site is the oldest producer of free ebooks on the Internet. PG is an extremely popular site and now has over 20,000 works. If you’re not sure where to start check out their Top 100page.

The Graffiti Creator 

http://www.graffiticreator.net/htm/black/chrome5.htm

If you want to make some word graffiti this could be a tool for you. Although it only does words, originally I was looking for something to make a couple of backgrounds with when I found this.

The Pros & Cons

Pros

Free [what more could you ask for]!!

Some of the themes come with random theme generation as an option. So you can see what they look like whit all the elements done! Love that!!

You can slide the letters around to give them an even more unique look.

If you need custom letters they cost 10 each just drop mindgem@gmail.com an e-mail

Cons

Most of the themes don’t come with the color wheel so getting to the color you want can sometimes be a pain. That coupled with those themes don’t come with generate random image option so you have to do it all from scratch can get really annoying really fast!

You have to use your print screen key to actually get the image off the web sites. 

My favorite fairytale is Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Getting sucked into completely different world and meeting these crazy people and creatures awesome!

Hot again today such lovely weather here in Louisiana one of the things I love best about this state is that most years it doesn’t get really cold until December. I know most people want a white Christmas, not me I want it to be warm enough to sit outside. On the other hand having it be so warm so far into winter always makes me just a little bit nervous that the storm season will come early make more hurricanes and increase the chances of one hitting us NOT good! Still I’m thankful for the lovely weather (^_^)b

Been looking for nice layouts to jazz up my journal & community what I found is that a bunch of the communities are dormant but still have useful article.

The Herb Companion It’s a pretty good resource for herbal and natural remedies as well as gardening advice, This one comes from November of 2010 ENJOY!!!!!

November

The Herb Companion It’s a pretty good resource for herbal and natural remedies as well as gardening advice! This one comes from September of 2010 it has 48 pages I didn’t scan the other 16 full pages of ads so don’t think this is the magazine in its entirety.

All the ads are for stuff like gardening supplies, seeds, tools, organic foods and herb and natural remedies in my opinion they’re not as bad as other magazines because they are relevant to the magazines content.

Oh and be warned these are kind of big I used 300dpi when I scanned these thinking it was going to make the images clearer I subsequently found out that I didn't need to do that =/ so depending on you ISP it may take awhile!!

September

Found a kind of unique dictionary generator you upload an Icon that’s what works best put in a couple lines of text and voila a short dictionary entry to spoof friends with!
