For where art thou beautiful bird and young tile maker?

June 12, 2009

I'd like to start this update by saying some things. I loved designing. I loved the two years of Anxiety. I love Harper, my good friend , and I love you visitors....

Yet, I'm not sure how long I can sustain just leaving this humble site up. I will say this, I'm putting this site on hiatus until August. Or at least I'm going on hiatus, Harper I'm not completely sure of. So lets start off with some life history, excuses you guys won't accept, and an apology shall we?

I remember being ten years old and constantly wanting to be on top. I wanted the ability to be able to critique and strive for the best. Yet I still haven't found my personal best in myself. I want to have a partner to design with, that I could grow and own a designing site. I wanted to be on top, and I wanted to be able to be different then top designers in this little teenage designing world. So in 2007, after past drama and old sites me and my dear friend decided to open a site. As per usual, the site was sprung up from a layout I made. So me and Harper went together and began producing new designs, meeting new people, and watching ourselves grow. Yet growth happens in more ways then just online, as I'm sure everyone knows. So Our one year anniversary comes, and I'm in utter disbelief. I wouldn't have thought we would have gotten that far and been so far into our dreams and goals. Yet as the new year came to a close, friends began to drift. Interest began to fade. And a hobby became a chore. Yet I still clung onto this chore, because it was a big part of me. It allowed me to express myself, and just grow as a person in a way. But I don't know if I can hang on anymore. I'd like to say that designing is either just a chore or just a hobby, but I can't. Sometiems I just don't feel like updating, or I don't feel like uploading my additions, or I don't feel like coding a layout, So I don't. Other times, that's all I wanted to do. But now I don't design anymore. I've left two site already, Deviantart and Neopets. Because those sites held me back, and made it feel like chore. So basically, I want to finally know if designing is what I want to continue to do. Summer is coming to a beginning, and this is the time I design the most. So I'll be watching myself, but not saying good-bye to this site and any visitors that arrive. I will give you my finaly answer in August. If I'm tempted to, I will update (or Harper, depending on how she is feeling about everything.), and if not I won't.

Err....I'm not going to apologize yet, I'd like to say a few things about my affiliates.
Master Pogi What are you? I remember you striving and watching and needed to be our affiliates, but then you realized you didn't need to always impress us. So you just let you be you. And I'll admit that I was sceptic at first when you applied the few first times. But like I say in any rejection I write; 'I can see potential in you, can't want to watch you improve'. I did. I watched you grow into a more skilled designer, and came to know this crazy awesome person!

Dona Were ever you are girl, I love you! Me and you have known each other since the dawn of time it seems, and I have to say you are the most weirdest, strangest, best, corkiest person alive. Your only flaw is loosing/closing a site and making a new one constantly. But change is always good.

Lin I idolized you from the minute Feel opened. I applied with older sites to be your 'friend', and soon enough I achieved this goal. You are an amazing designer and resource creator. I wish you'd update more, I adore your resources and manipulations and graphics. You were always and still are a great help and friend.

Millenia I've known you for more then three years. You are Mill, and you rock my world, even if we don't talk, even when we're both online at the same time.

Angel I've idolized you and watched you with your designs far longer then Lin I think. You have always been an amazing designer, manipulating celebrity photoshoots, and turning them into something awesome. It's sad to see you close Relentless, but I wish the best of luck with you and your career/portfolio.

Justin I hated you. I'm going to be blunt here and say I disliked you. You harvest both Kaien kuns style, and our interpretation and made it into 'Station'. You massively improved in designing and coding, and you happened to be a Boy! I rare occasion in our lil community. But I look back on it, and I think I envied your skill. Your eye for detail, and adding that extra 'Justin'ness to it. You improved quicker then I ever have, so hats to you.

Harper Girl, I think you are one of my best friends, and I miss you all the time when we don't talk. We have very similar interests, and very different views on things. But I think that's what's so awesome about us. We know the other can argue and fight. We know the other can love just as my as we think we can. We're just Harper and Tyler. I know I haven't been the best co-owner or friend lately, and I apologize. I just think my commitment has faded, and for some reason I held that commitment to our friendship. So I apologize for that. I think you will prosper with photography and other things. And I love you. :D

Lastly, I'd like to ask Tuly something. If you want to, would you like to be our affiliate? I think you're super delicious (no matter how creepy that was, it's true). I understand if you don't, becuase the fact that the site is now on a semi-hiatus deal. But if you would, us up to your navigation. You've way past earned it. Heck you shouldn't have had to earn it, you were great from the beginning. I was just too dang skeptic about that talent right before my eyes.

So...Theres my small goodbyes, and my excuses. I apologize to everyone else. I haven't been the best owner of this site in the whole two years. I especially haven't been know. So yeah. I also apologize for my grammar, I usually ask Harper for help, but she doesn't know I'm posting this! So yes, good-bye for know? Or until August. :)

That little shy guy, known as Ty - lurrr.
