These were reallllly fun to make. I think they’re a bigger size than the rest (these are all 1000×950) but I wouldn’t really know for sure. I can’t estimate dimension sizes by looking at things. It’s not one of my best skills next to x ray vision and eating cake in the morning.
Well, I have a long day of shopping ahead of me.
I hope I don’t spend all my money :(

I’ve been really sick these past few days but I’ve finally gotten better. Yeah, this whole spring break was basically me walking around holding my kleenex box like it was a block of gold and sneezing whenever someone talked to me.
I was really touched by all the responses in my blog. Thank you so much…some of them got me teary eyed. Awww I’m sick of crying hahahaaa.
I’m glad I got that all off my chest, now I feel much better. Now I’ve cleared my mind…I think it was all the sickness that was getting to me, on top of everything else. It’s nice to know that people care. I care just as much as you do :)
Anyway, I’ve made some new textures for you all to use but I won’t post them until later. Ugh I also wish my uncle would call me sooner than later so I could sue that hag that refused to pay me. I bet you she thinks she got away with it. I bet you she thinks she pulled one over me. Yeah.
Not a chance in hell. That pisses me off more than ever. When someone asks me about it or when I think about it…I get so mad. SOOO enraged. Especially when I think about when she tried to bring religion into it and said RESPECT ME AS A MUSLIM GIRL~ as if that had anything to do with it?!?!? Everyone’s religious these days eh. As if she was a real Muslim to be doing this to someone….this is so against our religion of Islam in so many ways. I’m a Muslim too but you don’t see me dodging bills like I’m running from an ex boyfriend with a chainsaw. Respect her as a Muslim huh? I can’t wait til I RESPECTFULLY slap her across the face with a court summons.
You know what people. I see this as a vision. Like a screenplay. It would go like this:
She’s like chillin with her husband and they’re like AWWW OUR LIFE IS SO GREAT!!!!! I SAVED $10 WITH A COUPON THIS MORNING!!! REALLY??? OMG HOW WONDERFUL SWEETIE!!! and then they go skip together to get the mail and BAM.
Yup. They see my letter and they’ll be like WHAT IS THIS SWEETIE?? I CANT READ I ONLY MADE IT TO THE 8TH GRADE CUZ MY ONLY GOAL IN LIFE WAS TO GET MARRIED! WHAT DOES THIS SAY? IS IT FROM JAPAN?? OMG IM HOLDING FOREIGN PAPER THIS I- –
He cuts her off.
NO THIS IS IN ENGLISH YOU TARD. WHY THE HELL DID I MARRY YOU? Okay hmm it says we have to be in court….what the hell! Didn’t you tell this girl you weren’t going to pay her? Why is she up in our grills?
She looks puzzled. She has no idea what to say. Her husband is mad because he has to turn away from his basketball game for another second during halftime to respond to her again.
DIDN’T YOU PUT IN THE EMAIL TO RESPECT YOU AS A MUSLIM GIRL??? DAMNIT IS NO ONE RELIGIOUS ANYMORE??? Okay well since you can’t drive because you lost your license that time you drove into the nail salon last week I guess we can’t go.
BUT SWEETIE WE HAVE TOO!! OR ELSE WE WILL BE….ARRASSTED???
IT SAYS ARRESTED. DAMNIT GO WASH SOME DISHES.
Of course they’ll show up to court though.
That will be it.
It’s just because everyone was asking me about it today and I’m just kinda like…EHHH….NOTHING HAPPENED YET. Of course I sneezed in between every other word but that only helped dramatize everything.
If my uncle doesn’t get back to me soon I’ll have to just do this court/sue her hagness thing on my own. It can’t be that hard can it? Just go to the court and fill out some papers. I have all the evidence, and I know what I’ll say. I played a lawyer game on my nintendo DS so I’m pretty sure I’m aware of the legal system. I’m pretty much a lawyer, without the fancy degree.
Of course I wish my uncle would just tell me if he’s too busy to assist me or just give me 5 minutes or something instead of holding me off forever and making me wait on him.
I hate waiting on people.
You want something done you gotta do it yourself right?
Okay so I can post a blog asking for a new layout and everyone comments, of course. But a blog about a poor little boy who was hit by a drunk driver doesn’t attract half that attention.
Disappointing.
No no it’s not even about the number of comments here, not at all. It’s about what seems to be important in peoples eyes that visit this site, and what’s not. I’m almost mad…
God I couldn’t even READ a sentence of the story of Abdallah Khader without tearing up and APPARENTLY everyone here just passes along like it’s another filler blog that Jessica writes. I’m starting to get the impression that If it’s not an update of some kind no one is interested.
I think I’m really getting sick of it. Yeah everyone just wants updates right? Why do I even blog anymore? I’ve become the girl who makes stuff for you guys to use.
I think I’ve lost hope.
Back in the day I used to enjoy blogging because everyone used to get involved and it was great to see communication between everyone. But no these days its all about what I can make and how fast it can be put up. Yeah no I don’t think I wanna go down that road.
I guess I was really touched by this story and I wanted to give it some attention and get some feedback. I know the mother (Loubna) wanted to publicize this story and I was trying to help. So if you are one of those people who do care about this, please spread the story of Abdallah wherever….
I appreciate deeply the 8 people who responded to the blog about Abdallah. Really. I am too close to tears even when writing this. My hearts breaks and I’ve never even met this kid. I’ve worked at a daycare so I feel strongly with children…
You know, I think once in a long while you read something that changes your life and this happens to be it for me right now. So excuse me if I’m not like myself for a while. I’m tired of this SHIFT.
This makes me think about me just sitting at 2 am all alone not sleeping making stuff and making tutorials for hours and hours that get like 2 comments that I feel like no one is even using. But then comes along that one person who tells me that they appreciate everything that I do and it makes those 4 hours of tutorial writing worth it.
I won’t be that girl who just makes stuff for everyone. This site won’t turn into that. If you want that you can go to those other resource sites where they charge you for the better resources and they update once a month on how to make a pen icon or something like that.
heh….If I closed this site down right now I don’t even think I would feel bad.
Anyway.
Goodnight. Yeah its 3 am and I’m off to bed. I’m sick as hell…
Swimchick.net is a free design resource site and personal blog about my whacky life stories through design and whatever else all written by me, Jessica. I'm a weird, but still pretty cool Lebanese girl living in Michigan pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design. I'm aided in this exciting route by Sumaiya, extraodinare of everything under the sun.
