[Wraithworshipper]

no I haven't thank you so much for these fonts - I love Black Chancery! I think I use it for my next piece of art.. thanks *huggles*

You are very welcome! I know you'll do great things with it!

Thanks for the links for the fonts. It amazing how cool fonts have become. Here is another site with fonts. It in German but you can see where you can download it.

Language is no barrier. I may not know what anything says, but as long as I can find the "get it here" button, I'm good!

I've got too many fonts on my computer.
I should stop downloading them.

Never even try that! The withdrawls can do permanent psychological damage! Just stick with the addiction. It's harmless.

yeah, it's like a drug - and if you need one you can't find any - or the computer crashes

There's a lovely little program called the Free&Easy Font Viewer. I use it all the time. BTW-the computer crashing can be avoided if you store your fonts in an external harddrive. View them with a picture viewer, and then move the font you want to your fonts folder. You can always move it back out when you're done.

Oh...my! KILT!!!!!

[meezergater]

(bumps back in)

wow, nice kiltpic there Fianne, looks like he has shaved his leggs there i believe)
beautifull booklet page you have made. Do we all have to make something like that?


Luciana, glad you are feeling better, strep is no fun.

well, i pre-ordered my Paul Audio-book, the order seems to have come through nicely, got a confirmation over mail and all.
too bad we will have to wait untill july untill it is released(

and yeeaaah, i noticed ITV4, the uk channel going to broadcast Sanctuary is also on our satelitechannels), so lucky we at least got Astra 2 also installed) (i looove my english bbc channels, which are not in the dutch Astra 1 package).

Still smashing my had over the carson.com videogallery, looks like this one is going to take a while to figure out, since i cannot even bring my frontpage to show up uploaded video's(

Jetflair, what is this wordpress thingy?
is it workable?
and can you email me the backgroundpic's i will need to use for the uploaded webpage, so it fits with the rest of the website?

[Luciana]

Thanks Meezer!
It would be nice, if you could create a booklet page.
Because Fainne'd like to have a page of every thunker, who suggested a song.

Here you go, mokeh68. I hope it not too big:


I made a moving sig too under the spoiler tag.

Yay for you!! I really hate strep, seriously. It's just a nasty, nasty bug. In fact, I lost my appendix because of strep. Yup, they did a culture on my appendix after they removed it (emergency surgery at 11pm, fun stuff) and it was a strep infection. I had *no idea* strep could affect anything other than your throat! So, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.

.: Ouch! Wow, I hope I never have to go through any appendix-related emergencies - from what I've heard they are awful scary! Nasty buggers - no use for them other to send you to the emergency room at an ungodly hour.

That's just what's in there. Has over 2,000 font zips in reserve, and some of them have as many as 7 fonts packaged in the zip. Sometimes it takes me longer to find just the right font than to do the actual word processing!

.: Holy crap, Wraithworshipper - you're worse than I am! I went through a font phase about five years ago in which I downloaded every single font that slightly appealed to me (or no matter how hard they were to read) and installed them all to the fonts folder. I shared a family comp back then, so after installing about one thousands fonts I was in big doo-doo

.: These days I only download the fonts I know I'll use. So right now on my comp I have the list cut down to about 350. I use a lot of generic ones like Times and Georgia frequently as well as they have TONS of artistic quality most people do not realise!

*sigh* I have soooo much to learn, but I'll get right on it as soon as my new graphics tablet gets here. I just ordered it today, and the wait is already killing me!

I'm a creative little girl!

I like it. Specially the way you used the text

[Fainne]

Oh...my! KILT!!!!!

yay - I knew you're gonna like it. Meezer you are right! I didn't recognize it before... *lol* so nothing left to shave for me

yeah? we actually have an external harddrive but I think I keep my few fonts, only download one when I need it. Well, it's not easy BUT I must be strong - must be strong...I can do it...

Meezer yeah -I want evey Paul thunker to have one page of the booklet. size would be the the same like my page is (12x12 cm). but how you use this space is up to you^^
I just read Luci's shortmessage where she asked me when I need your stuff. Deadline would be this Sunday (13 April) (can't say "Sunday" without thinking of Carson )

Miss Kaylee your siggies are great. I love the moving one! *yay* i love it thiiiiiissss big

*lol* yay... kilts are the best invention since chocolate . I wonder if Paul wears it traditionally.. *giggle*

[twinchaosblade]

Hey girls,
I finally finished my page for the booklet of Paul's CD. Maybe it has an inspiring effect I couldn't think of own words so I chose a scottish blessing

Ehm, sorry for bothering you again, Fainne, but is it possible you forgot the "t" at the end of "heart" in your last line? I know I'm so terribly nitpicking... *stands ashamed in corner*

This Warithworshipper is, among other things, quite the "font wh*re". My poor, poor computer almost has a melt down everytime I open the word processing program, and the font list takes several minutes to get through.
<snip...>
Has almost 2,000 font zips in reserve.

*is in awe*

Wraithie

Hehe, that nickname is simply too cute!

You like haggis? Ok, I love Schottland - no, I adore it BUT I'll never ever eat haggis...

Don't write it off so quickly, Fainne, it's much more delicious than you think. You just have to NOT think about the ingredients...

Wow, thanks for the links, Wraithie! I'll have to admit I like blacc.ttf a little better than Black Chancery.

I'm terribly sorry but I'm too busy at the moment to make a page for the booklet. I'm not too well with artwork anyway, so no worries.

I'm thrilled to hear you got through dental surgery fine, Reiko, and the pain isn't too bad. Still, Carson/Paul pics are a good ways of directing your attention away from insignificant discomfort to intense thunking.

Good to hear you got rid of your strep throat, Luci. And I'm absolutely horrified to learn that your strep infection had such serious effects, mokeh! Thank goodness your okay. I bet you could have lived without that kind of dramatic entrance at the hospital...

Seti, I'm saddened to know that your brother wasn't accepted at the college he wanted to attend. That sucks; but it certainly sucks even more to not have the chance to live together and split the costs. I also can relate to having your sibling as a best friend. I really can't imagine not having my twin around or at least in calling range. We're pretty much a package deal.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Switzerland so much, Oda. Getting close to all those fighters must have been very exciting for you as a pilot-to-be (I still believe you can do it!). And of course congrats for putting the huge puzzle together! What are you going to do with it? Do you have enough room to keep it in one piece?

Jetflair, the new background graphics on the site look gorgeous! It's getting better and better! I'm immensely proud of everyone who participates in making the site work. *applaudes*

Sorry if I forgot to reply to anything important. I'll make it up to you with a few pics. What do you say?!

Fianne, you are kidding right)? Nothing left to shave?
Men ain't that hairless girl)

humm, back to normality...

Luciana, anyone, have some tips how to make the booklet thingie?
how can i make sure it is the right size you need? (since i have to send it over email)
i do have corel draw (mainly for photo-editing), so i should be able to make something suitable.
(SUNDAY allready?, well i will do my best)


Jetflair, please check your mail, i need some help with a trial videogallery i have made, which folder to upload?

[Luciana]

JennyJ - Thank you! I'm trying some new text styles.

Wraithworshipper -

Never even try that! The withdrawls can do permanent psychological damage! Just stick with the addiction. It's harmless.

I said I should stop downloading them. I never said that I will stop!

Spoiler:

Oh my gosh! That is just TOO awesome!! You totally RAWK! Thank you! I can't wait to get home (I'm at work) and upload it to my sig.

Ouch! Wow, I hope I never have to go through any appendix-related emergencies - from what I've heard they are awful scary! Nasty buggers - no use for them other to send you to the emergency room at an ungodly hour.

I was totally clueless about it, too. At first I thought it was intestinal cramps, but when I didn't have diarrhea I thought it may be pre-menstrual cramps as my period was due the next week, and finally, after spending the day (at work, no less - still trying to be a productive little peon) absolutely miserable as the pain got worse and worse, I finally allowed myself to consider it might be something serious. Pain started about 10am, I left work at 4pm, got to my local clinic at 6pm (don't trust my local ER) and was wheeled into the OR about 10:30pm. They were pumping me full of morphine thru my IV, and apparently I'm one of those people that morphine does nothing for, as it didn't even *touch* the pain. It was NOT fun. And then to find out my new 3-inch zipper was thanks to a frickin' strep infection? Dude, totally surreal and unexpected. You're right about them being useless: they should be removed at birth as a preventative measure.

It wasn't that dramatic. No ambulance or anything. My dad drove me. However, my mom & sister had been shopping in Chicago for the day and apparently my sister broke some serious speed records getting them back in time to see me before the surgery. They made it with about 10 minutes to spare. I'll tell you, though, I never realized how many tiny things we do that involves the abdominal muscles. Breathing, coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose, moving in ANY way, shifting from side to side....Ugh. I didn't realize how much I rely on my abs until someone sliced through them and stapled them back together.

And to bring this back to Paul McG & Carson: Does anyone know if Paul has a lot of committments (jobs, maybe) this summer? I don't see his name on the guest lists for many conventions. I was hoping he'd come back to Chicago as we really didn't get much time with him last year. He came in just for the photo ops, his stage time, and then we all felt rushed through the autographs because he had a plane to catch... <pouts> I wanted to talk to him a little, but I felt like I really shouldn't because they were trying to move us along, you know? Anyway, has there been any news as to any additional projects he may be doing?

[meezergater]
