| | I've never thought that I'd come back to Xanga again, but I think I owe everyone an apology.
I kept on claiming that I'd be back, but I never came back. I'm quite sure that people wondered why, but I am also positive that a majority of you have answered the question by yourself: Xanga traffic. It is no doubt that Xanga's activity have slowed down after the Myspace and Facebook invasion. Let's admit it: not many people uses Xanga anymore. Despite the thousand or so subscribers I have, I'm pretty sure that 95% or so have already left by the time I've completed writing this.
 
I didn't "come back" to design more layouts. I have always thought of doing so, because my designing skills have not faltered or withered away. In fact, my designing skills are blossoming more than ever everyday. What I do take notice of, is that nowadays--- everyone can design layouts. Especially with what I'd call my previous "horrible layout tutorial", HTML and CSS isn't quite as difficult as it seems. (and that everyone has photoshop and have used tutorials.. *cough*) It requires patience, sure... but the real challenge is actually having the ability to design well. While I do not see too many people who are able to utilize their skills to enhance their layouts, most people would rather use their own creations. Most people would rather show off their layout skills and acquire followers.
 
But enough of that; those are basically the reasons why I just couldn't come back here. There were people--- yes--- but, people no longer used my layouts so my hours spent on the layouts were never put to a "great use".
As for life...
I've had my fair share of doing shameful things. I've had experienced the ups and downs in life. Within a year, I have become much more mature. I promise! =] In fact I can't help but to believe that within each passing year, I came to shun my former self. So I'm not going to bother much with reading my previous entries. Too many painful memories, as you can say. However, I've changed for the better and that's the truth.
Anyway!!! I'm not here to tell you my life story. :D
 
If you had wondered about where you could have discovered me after I've left Xanga, there were a few alternatives. Ironically, they are all posted on this profile. I still use my Myspace and my deviantArt. I also use my alternative Xanga, although that have been set to private except for a couple of people (for good.). So there's absolutely no hope of getting in there. Kill me for being a hypocrite (actually, please don't. Hahaha), but I am on my Myspace more. The reasons are also obvious... "everyone's on Myspace" in the sense that all of my friends from school uses Myspace. It's a great way to contact one another. I also have a Facebook, but I rather that be private. If you’re too curious for your own good; go scavenge for it yourself.
If I were to ever use the whole "Ancient Whisper Productions" gig on this Xanga site again, it would most likely be for my artwork or Myspace layouts. Then again, it wouldn't make sense to display Myspace Layouts on a Xanga site. No sense at all. I do not plan to make any future Xanga layouts, although that may still be a probability. And if I were to do so, I would only occasionally design Xanga layouts (as in, one layout per half a year or so. =[ )
 
And LOL at Nacktmono... And may I add that I used to know this person like a friend and he made layouts?
"hey ugly ass your pictures suck dick and your ugly"
Haha, it would make more sense if I had actually permanently left Xanga before someone trolled me. (this was written on the chatterbox) I don't mean to sound conceited, but I have enough confidence in myself enough to know that my pictures and I don‘t "suck dick" and that I'm not ugly. :3 Hating that I used to make layouts which were popular or something? My apologies. Seriously, be more mature and go troll elsewhere.
Kthnxbai
Anyway, that was just nice to say. I always wondered if there would be people left to talk trash about me after I left. :P That’s the difference between now and then. Had I have read that message a year ago, I would have whined and returned the insults. But I no longer take things too personally; since I have mentally grown up.
As for now, I shall leave you with my artwork (which are posted all over this specific blog). So if you were wondering why there were pictures oddly scattered on here; they are my drawing and artwork. You can click on them to go to my deviantArt page where there's a higher resolution of the pictures. My skills have improved by a lot since I’ve last displayed them, but I am nowhere near a professional. I suppose that people no longer know what my dreams are for the future since it‘s been so long.
I used to want to be a Mangaka, but let’s face it: that’s definitely not happening. Not only that, I’m over the whole Manga and Anime phase. I tend to concentrate more on Video Games (yes, I still love Final Fantasy), and reality. Currently, I’m trying to find a way into the Art Institute of Dallas where I will be studying Video Game Designing or Animations. What is it? Basically, you design characters, make them 3-D and study various other stuff such as storyboarding for Video Games. =] That’s the summary in a nutshell. I still need to learn how to draw animals, Mecha/Vehicles, and Monsters. The road will be long and hard, but that’s the career I would like to pursue.
AND! Even though I said I got over the Anime and Manga phase, some may still be enjoyable. I tend to like the style much more than the thing, itself. I like realistic anime style; therefore, I draw that way. However, I do not pay much attention to Anime, itself.
For practice, you (the audience), and whoever’s left (I wouldn’t be surprise if no one comments), can request a drawing of a video game or anime character (and series name please). I will only draw two, so first come, first serve. I will sketch it and upload it on here.
Meanwhile, I’ll try to make a new Xanga layout for this site. I will not promise a faithful return; I may not be back frequently to update, but I’ll try to keep this Xanga alive.
To be honest, it pained me a bit when I realized that I had abandoned this Xanga. I had a great time here, and I really appreciated all of those who have been by my side. Some of you know a great deal about my life and others do not. Xanga have really put my mind aside from the unfortunate events I endured everyday and occupied my boring evenings. I had never imagined that I’d leave this site during High School, but now I understand it: people become more busy and social later on in their lives.
Anyways, thanks to all of you (whoever’s left reading). For those who are still around, I just wanted to let you guys basically know that I am not completely wiped away from the internet. I am still around…
…I’m very well alive.
Good day to all and to everyone who have once subscribed to me.
You guys are the best.
(...And I will leave you with my current project:)
My Myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/AncientWhisper
My deviantArt:
http://AncientWhisper.deviantart.com/
If you want a sketch from me, (examples are all of the pics up above), you can ask for one. I will accept two (Only one left now :] ). First come, first serve. Just state the name of the character, and the series. They will not be colored. They will be pencil sketches. I accept original characters.
Again, most likely in the future, this site may be used to display some layouts and some artwork. I will most likely no longer concentrate on Xanga layouts.
Much apologies...
-Cindy
