Wow, a new update. Quite amazing. I'm working on a few new sites - the most important being Green Apples; the new and improved, redesigned and renamed Happy Fun Time. Hopefully that'll be up by next weekend, and after that I'm going to try and have Nicotine up. Only problem I have with that one is most of my fiction sucks, so it's a bit difficult trying to decide a) what stories to archive and b) whether or not to actually open the site. But that's just my whining. However, I *have* made a new site of sorts - it's a clique, Over the Rainbow. It's dedicated to the admiration of all the old stars of Hollywood, like the wonderful Judy Garland - who was my inspiration to make this clique. After seeing the recent biopic of her on TV I thought she was very unfairly portrayed, and that we should remember the greats with more respect for the amazing talent they had. Hence Over the Rainbow =). That's it for now, expect new sites soon... ish.

Okay, I just nearly gave myself a heart attack - I accidentally uploaded the new *Ophelia* frame 3 to the Carpe Lumen directory - hopefully this will sort out everything. And yes, I am redesigning again, this time with Ophelia - expect a new version up shortly.... ttfn =).

Well, I'm finally getting around to sorting through old Forswear it, Sight applications *faints*. Hopefully I'll have emails sent out by the end of the day, so those who applied in the past couple of months - be patient, the wait is nearly over *sigh*. I'd also really like to send a big thankyou and lots of hugs to those who have told me they like the new design here. I'm so glad people enjoy it, I did work hard on it, so I really appreciate the kind words that have been sent =) I've just realised I only have one more affiliate spot left here.... aargh. Just a note - if anyone does ask to be an affiliate from now on and I turn you down - it *won't* be because I don't like your site, not at all - it'll just be because someone else asked first and I'm out of space... sorry!!!! Now I think it's time for me to wallow in a bit of guilt *sigh* Back to the FiS applications too....

Wa-hey-hey, it's a new look for Carpe Lumen =) Welcome, enjoy! My inspiration for this one was a song by Rasputina called 'The New Zero'. Although technically it is a song about an ice hotel, there is a part that is very Oz-like (hence the Oz-wolf theme). It's written on the splash image though it's kind of hard to decipher in that font; 'It's there that no one will stare / At your jaws and your long fur / The claws in your fingers.' Along with Passions, Rasputina is a new big obsession of mine - they're fantastic. If you're interested, this is a beautiful Rasputina site. As some of you may or may not know, I've also redesigned my Faith site, Dahlia, which I quite like =) There are a couple of new small things here, I've updated my site list with a couple of new projects, and I have a new Xander/Anya fanart (dedicated to Rae! *g*) That's about it for now, I'm really started to ramble, so... until next time.... or whenever.

Yeesh. It's been so long since I blogged, I feel very ashamed =( Well, I'm working on redesigning Carpe Lumen, though I have no clue what I'll do *sigh* Ah well. I am redesigning Dahlia though - if anyone would like a preview (such a feedback glutton am I) - just email me @ midsummer_helena@yahoo.com =) I'm also turning into a complete soap opera nut - I'm addicted to Days and Passions - Passions more so. So expect a few Pash sites coming soon *g*

Welcome to the new version of Carpe Lumen! Finally I've got my own blog, so I can ramble on to my hearts content =) Have fun looking around at the sections (some of them are gone from v5.0) and let me know what you think! =)
