I've had a test or project due every day this week and the hell that is finals week beginning in less than forty-eight hours. I've barely begun studying, my summer plans are in a mess, and I have an international conference application on my desk that was supposed to be turned in three months ago.

...So why not distract myself by updating Synesthesia? :'D

Truth is, I've been avoiding updating this site for a couple months because I wanted to come back with a better layout, but that kind of didn't happen. :/ I've also just been really busy lately.*whineeeee* I attended FanimeCon (a convention in San Jose) recently which was AMAZING (check out photos in my gallery here; the coding & design are temporary so shoosh ;O)! We got to see An Caf?live, which was fun (my first concert x___x). I'm also considering going allllll the way down to LA to attend Anime Expo in a month, but at the moment I don't have rides, booked rooms or anything down. We'll see. :/ If any of you attended/are attending those cons, do tell me! :3

Anyhow! There may be no new layout today, but I DID make twelve new avatars... no other designs, sorry. I'm still blaming my schedule. (Hopefully I'll have more stuff in the summer? ; o;... plus, I'm starting to get tired of this site layout.) I also switched in a new photo on my personal page.

Aaaand finally, the most exciting news: Synesthesia's got THREE new affiliates! Yes, three. I've always wanted to be strict about limiting my affiliate count to seven or eight so I try gaining them slowly, but these three sites are painfully amazing. First is Avenue, Miyu's new & freshly appealing website; please check it out, she's very sweet & pwnsome! The other two affiliates emailed me within like a span of twenty minutes last night, hence my eagerness to update today~ I'm sure all of you have visited Invisus Designs before; the only word I have to describe their site is beautiful. Which is vague, I know, but if you've checked out their stuff too in the past, you'll see why I say that. I've been a HUGE fan of Rykea & Kyuu since forever! And lastly, please welcome my final affiliate, the Mel of Elysium Designs! Im not sure why we're affiliating to be honest; her style & site in general is like... out of the roof gorgeous. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to affiliate with these three sites, they've sent me back reeling with their talent. (That sounds really fluffy but it's goshdarn true~ >.<)

By the way, I'm tentatively closing affiliation for now; feel free to apply, but I'll be a lot stricter with accepting. O: Also, my email's been acting up for the past month (it's fine now), so if anyone sent me any apps through email in the month of May that didn't get a reply, I don't think I got it. :'[

AND ALSO, I ALMOST FORGOT! Please please please join Synesthesia's iContest!~ ; o; We currently don't have that many entries and it's very upsetting. >:[ So please join? :33 I'll give you a cookie. ¢¾ [/bribery]

OH and another selfish plug: I'm planning to revive the LiveJournal I made like a year ago. xD Add me?

And I think that's it for now; thank you so much for reading!
