BoomerangIcons's Xanga

rules or something

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:31:49 GMT

--if anyone's wondering, i got my site name [BoomerangIcons] from a CUTE song. sweat the battle before the battle sweats you to be exact. why? i always liked how shaant said boomerang. lol. of course some people would have just gotten the idea from a boomerang, but i had to be cool and make it come from something "special." haha.

--i don't like to subscribe/comment to/on personal xanga sites. it's weird and i feel like i'm invading someone's personal space.

--i always subscribe to a site if i take more then 5 icons. if it's anything less then that, i won't subscribe unless i'm really impressed.

--i don't/won't post anything relating to:
1.) shitty "reality" shows
2.) american eagle
3.) hollister
4.) abercrombie&fitch
5.) pictures of "really hawt purses"
6.) basically anything that promotes any kind of shallowness--my definition of shallowness
7.) ipods
8.) high school musical because no, mr. efron is not hawt and neither is the blond kiddy. omgz burnnn. & in all honesty, the movies sucked. =|
9.) corny "love" icons...they're annoying and they dumb down my mind when i read them
10.) celebutards. wait what?! yes, i did just use that word...
11.) the jonas brothers. their extermely tight pantedness freaks me out.

--i do post icons that i think are funny and that i can relate to.

--most of the time i don't return comments. it's not my thaaaang.

--i don't usually update on weekends because i actually go out and do stuff. having a life for 2 whole days is pretty freakin amazing. mmmhmmm.

--a lot of the time, i'll say i'll update on [enterday/datehere], but that rarely happens. haha. i usually end up updating 2/3 days later.

--if you take more then 5 icons, please subscribe...especially if you have an icon site because let's face it, one on one is more fun anyway. er i mean...i'd subscribe to yours if i took more then that.

--i don't do that whole '5 subscribers and 5 comments before the next update' crap. it doesn't work and it makes your site seem less...attractive. plus, you should be doing this for fun and to me, that doesn't make it fun.

--since i'm in college now, i have less time to post new updates. so basically whenever i have free time, i'll post a new one.

--do not copy and paste the icons. it takes me forever to upload icons to my various photobucket accounts. so do me a favor and save them to your computer and make your own photobucket account to upload them to. yes, it's time consuming, but shit, if you've got nothing else to do because you're bored, it worksssss.

--feel free to comment. it isn't necessary, but it's nice to know what people think about this site. i won't tolerate rude comments.

--if you find any icons that aren't showing up or show up as a photobucket error thing, leave me a comment telling me which post it's in so i can delete it.

--the fall out boy icons that were previously posted are from this lj community. *note* i no longer post fobbie icons. i haven't had the time to go look for them so i just sort of stopped trying to make time. sometime in the future though, i will bring some of my favorites back.

--the credit for my icons is under my subscription list. the ones who have most recently updated are towards the top.

total subscribers: 609

so the wonderful boyfriend bought me a nintendo ds lite. he's been teasing me for the longest time about buying me one, so i guess i should've seen it coming when i started talking about how crappy my gameboy advanced was. i've always been against him getting me one...mainly because i don't like it when people spend a lot of money on me andddd because it was almost half a plane ticket. haha. we basically came to the agreement that since i've banned him from buying me jewelry, he was going to buy me the ds in place of it. many girls would probably be like "wtf, you would rather have some stupid game system over jewelry?!?!?!?!" and my simple response would be, "yes, yes i would." not only am i going to USE it and ENJOY it and APPRICIATE it's greatness, i can look at it and smile and be thankful that i have a nerd for a boyfriend who is willing to stay up until 2 am while we play the new pokemon game and talk on the phone about how lame/nerdy we are. their were many nights over spring break where we had massive geekfests over the pokemons...and i absolutely loved it. haha.
oh and i know by this point no one cares, but it's pink with flamingo [!!!!] stickers on it. it's amaaaaazing.

so i watched the twilight movie yesterday. i can now honestly say that i don't understand what the big deal about it was. in all honesty, the movie was pretty crappy. it seemed like bella & edward had little to no dialogue and the acting was sooooo crappy that i wanted to scream. the only good/awesome part of the movie was towards the end in the ballet studio....

i'm craving a hug because
a silent hug means a thousand words to the unhappy heart

I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they're bad - to change. 'Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses.

Oh, I love hugging.
I wish I was an octopus,
so I could hug 8
people at a time

Seems to me, it ain’t the world that's so bad but what we're doin' to it. And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance.

"We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don't get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers. We won't solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way. We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we're called home."

i like people who have a sense of individuality.
i love expression and anything awkward and
imperfect. because that's natural & that's real.

you never think you loved someone, you know it. if it's love, you don't just feel it. you feel it from the depth of your heart to the tips of your fingers and toes and in the butterflies in your stomach. thinking about it never makes you sad or regret anything. love makes you happy when nothing else can. you'd never do anything different, say anything different, dream anything different, because love is perfect. sometimes love hits you in the face and sometimes it grows on you, but it's never there where you just randomly discover it. love changes you, not into a sad person but a happy person, no matter the situation. love is something you never fall out of. love isn't a crush, isn't a fling, is a year long relationship. love, is love. love is not defined, but described.

so i've been working on an english essay for the past 4 days. i think i've done all i can do and yet i still feel like i didn't do what my teacher is expecting. it's supposed to be 5-6 pages, which mine is, but i feel like only a paragraph out of the whole paper is what my teacher wants. i mean, the assignment was to basically find 5 magazine articles or 8 newspaper issues and conduct a "study" to see if the paper or magazine is bias towards the subject you choose. i did just that, but she never mentioned if she wanted us to actually present what the articles were talking about in an informative way or not. she just said she wanted us to see if the paper/magazine is bias. so my paper is basically all about the topic i chose with things from the articles for support. it seems logical i guess since that is exactly what we've been doing for our other papers, but something tells me that i did the whole paper wrong. i could just be worrying too much, but i spent sooooo much time on this paper that i don't want it back with a comment like "you didn't do what the assignment was asking" or something like that...

it isn't how you forget, but how you forgive - not how you listen, but how you understand. not what you see, but how you feel. it's not how you let go, it's how you hold on.

The more you get to know a person,
the more attractive they become to you.
Because everything beautiful you see on
the inside of them, suddenly you're able
to see on the outside of them too.

It's not like you have a choice of who you love & who you don't. You just love someone. It doesn't mean that everyone else has to understand or approve of it. That's not love. Love is something special between two people that doesn't change or alter for anyone.

We are taught to think of our success in terms of numbers. If touching one persons life is a good thing, then touching one thousands of people's lives must be a great thing. It's easy to see where we learned to think this way. Our whole society revolves around mass production. The more units we can move, the more customers we can serve. The more boats we can get, the more money and the more stuff we have, the better, right? Maybe it's not possible to touch one thousand peoples thinking, or as powerfully as one person. Maybe it's not really so revolutionary after all, to have one person out of a group of twenty tell everybody else what's right. Wouldn't it be better if we tried a decentralized approach where everyone works closely with those around them, instead of a few people waiting in anonymous mass? Do you have to save the world all by yourself, why don't you trust someone else to do it with you?

When you grow older a dreadful, horrible sensation will come over you. It's called loneliness, and you think you know what it is now, but you don't. Here is a list of the symptoms, and don't worry - loneliness is the most universal sensation on the planet. Just remember one fact - loneliness will pass. You will survive and you will be a better human for it.

I love this spot. It’s like heaven. Right here on Earth.
Maybe that’s what heaven is.
Maybe we go through life collecting people and places we love,
and they become our heaven.

I look up to the people who keep on dancing
even after the music has stopped, because those
are the people who will keep on
trying even after all hope is lost.

There is never an ending, just new beginnings. The past makes you who you are but won't predict who you'll be. You choose who you'll become.

"Nah, I'm not going to answer your question cause you guys have already made up your minds. I'm an expert in rejection, and I can see it on your faces. And it's too bad that you judge us by the way we look and not by who we are. Just because you want us to be more like them when the truth is we're not like them. And I am damn proud of that fact."

throughout your life, you're going to be lied to.
you're going to be used, and you're most likely
going to be left out. you just have to be the
bigger person about it, and take it
one step at a time.

Don't ever change the way you are. I've never loved anyone more.

sorry for the delay. and for all the icons a bajillion other sites have probably already posted. i haven't checked my subscribtions in a while so i don't have any new icons to post. =[
it's weird that the last time i updated, it was 15 days before i left for florida. i've been back for almost 3 weeks so it's weird to look back on those. haha. if anyone cares, i had an awesome time. the boyfriends house/family felt like a second home and i really didn't want to leave. *sniff*.
