Forget all that formal crap 'bout comin' at me one at a time.

I'll take all you people on!

你好! Welcome to my humble corner of createblog. You might remember me, Sonja (I spell it differently sometimes.) Although I love to design, I have very, very little time for it. I blame my current position as queen of AP classes and a shitload of other stuff. I do apologize. In other news, here is some information about me.

anything sweet
other stuff: I live in a community which values grades and G.P.A's very highly, hence the obsession with getting into a good university. I play piano, cello and I sing. My favorite song to play on the piano would be Victor's Solo from the immortal movie Corpse Bride. It's haunting melody never fails to display the raw emotion within anybody who cares plays it. I love reading books, especially of the fantasy and science fiction genre. I have a bad habit of holding grudges. Someday, I would like to live in London or Paris. Of course this does not constitute half of who I am, but at least it gives you a basic idea. Not really. You can never be sure of what to expect from me, because I constantly reinvent myself. Like right now. And now. And now...

And a flower, doesn't even know it's own beauty it's entire life.

Where my inspiration comes from

My inspiration comes from the same place that your inspiration comes from. It comes from movies that I watch, books that I read and experiences that I experience. It basically comes from my life, everything that I touch, smell, see, hear and taste. With every layout I create, I try to create an atmosphere, a mood that conveys whatever I'm feeling at the moment. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail, but I always learn and to me, that is the more important than having people love or hate my layouts.

What about the current layout?

Well. The idea for this layout (which I named Autumn's Tears) came from hours of sitting inside of SAT classes and thinking about beautiful collections of fanlistings. I decided I wanted to make a layout that revolved arount the theme of Autumn and Halloween. At first, I thought about having a layout with Count D (from petshop of horrors) in it, because it would be suitably creepy for halloween. But then, somehow, I also came up with this idea, and because it was easier to implement, I decided to run with it. This layout features Mugen and Jin from the awesome Samurai Champloo. I colored them myself, and to be quite honest, I think it's the best coloring of a scan that I have ever done. I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too.
