Fun with GIMP

Not having much to do lately, I've been messing around with GIMP. I just made this banner and button for my Etsy shop. The zombie MiKit was made by JMKit.

Bumpo'd Again

Sheer Boredom

I made an animated gif out of the Dead:Cute MiKit that JMKit made for me. I couldn't sleep and I was bored.

I've Been Riley'd by Mr. Keckler

Reminds me of Gustav Klimt.

I've Been Bumpo'd and I Look Creepy

Mr. Keckler Thinks I'm Lovely!!!

Check out this post by William Keckler. Not only am I described as lovely, but also mentioned alongside the lost execution art of beheading! How awesomely morbid is that? I dig it! Thanks, Bill! You're a rockstar!

Mr. Keckler's Commentary on Retail Establishments

I thoroughly enjoyed this fine commentary by William Keckler entitled, Crate and Barrel . . ., so I decided to share it with my readers as well. I especially enjoy his comments on K-Mart and Sears as my sister and I have always had a long running joke that the two stores have a "dirty" ambiance, kind of like CBS. I'm convinced it has to do with lighting for the most part. It's funny that they are now owned by the same company. I need to find out if CBS is part of the mix as well. Enjoy!

The Reason I'm Not Posting As Much

I have no idea if many people truly follow this blog (I'm inept at reading the sitemeter stats). I have quite a few followers, but I know I personally don't read every blog I follow. But for those of you who do actively follow and may have wondered why my posts are few and far between it's because I've started another blog, so, yes, I'm cheating on "kiddo's shenanigans" right now. It's not the most pleasant of affairs, as the purpose of my mistress blog is to journal my road to recovery from bipolar disorder. I've been on a downward spiral since 2008 and medication alone is not the answer. I've enrolled myself in an intensive outpatient mental health program which meets Monday through Friday for four hours each day. It's a group therapy setting so I'm able to share with and listen to other people in situations very similar to my own.

I decided to make the new blog in order to channel my feelings and emotions in the most effective way I know how which is writing about them. I also hope that sharing my story can help those who also may be suffering from a mental illness and feel like they're all alone; I know right now that's one of my biggest issues. I also hope to educate others who don't understand what it's like to have a mental illness. I've already been successful as one of my friends was able to learn a lot from one of my posts and asked to share it with her friends on Facebook, which I was more than happy to let her do so. I understand that my new blog may not be something that many people would feel comfortable reading. It's raw and honest, and that makes a lot of people uncomfortable; which is why I chose to keep it separate from this one. If you are interested in reading "The Journey," by all means please do so. A friend of mine likes to call it "Kiddo's Road to Wellville" which I think is perfectly fitting. I am determined to beat, or at the very least, manage the hell out of this disease.

UrbanDictionary/Facebook Craze O' the Day

Apparently the current fad on Facebook is searching your name on UrbanDictionary and posting the definitions as your status. Two of my friends had very vulgar definitions that they didn't post (Casey, at least you're well endowed!). I have two first names, so I searched both and I dig the definitions so here they are.

Melanie (I'm only addressed by this name by telemarketers and collection agencies, so Melanie's never home).
"A name for a girl. french, means "dark". like dark hair, olive skin. people named melanie are always really pretty and super nice. just sexy, if you will. used to say it when seeing a pretty girl, but they obviously will never match up to her standards.
DAMN!!!!! That girl is definately a Melanie."
"An awesome girl who likes to be ghetto, and pulls it off even when white. Generally pretty.
"Melanie is beautiful."
"And Ghetto."

Suzanne
"Suzanne is the #153 most common female first name.
Out of many more.
It is an original, and unique first name.
Means graceful lily in Hebrew.
Come from Susanna a name in Hebrew.
a French, German, and Hebrew.
A very unique,special, different.
Hard to find, hard to keep.
picky girl.
"Wow, Suzanne is really different, but shes awesome"
"1. Suzanne is a common female given name that was particularly popular in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. It remained in the top 200 most popular names in the United States between 1930 and the late 1980s. Suzanne was originally the French form of Susan or Susanna, but it has also been regularly used in English speaking countries since before the start of the 20th century. The name is from the Hebrew "Shoshana," meaning "lily". It may also be spelled Susanne, and common diminutives are Sue and Suzy.
2. A very sexy woman, possessing extreme intellect and taste.
3. Someone to die for.
"Suzanne, you are made of win!"
"Boy, that girl Suzanne is so gorgeous, I would die for her"


Thanks for the ego boost, UrbanDictionary! I'm definitely awesome and super popular in the ghetto! Men be popping caps in each others asses just to be wid me!
