Changes

The most obvious one being the picture on the top. Byakuya Kuchiki!!! =D
Secondly, I've renamed the blog from Silver Vibes to Blossom Reflections. Actually, I wasn't really planning on doing that, but when I found the picture, I saw the 'Blossom Reflections' thing written on it, and thought that was a pretty good name, considering that I'm usually posting random reflections here, and blossoms just rock anyways. Changing the background was such a pain. I kept on trying out all those hexadecimal values for the colors and previewing it. I'm still not that happy with the color (it's just too pink), but it matches the color on the blades.
And finally *trumpets* I've changed my name! Well, the first part is still the same, but I decided I wanted a last name as well. So I had to prowl through all these baby names lists in Greek and Latin and Hebrew and Welsh and Gaelic and Spanish and... you get the point =P I finally picked 'Eira' (eye-rah), which means 'snow' in Welsh =)) The other names I 'shortlisted' were:
Adelaida ('noble' in Spanish)
Ivette ('yew tree' in Spanish)
Aurele ('golden' in French)
Awen ('muse' in Welsh)
Emlyn (many meanings, in Welsh)
Eirwyn ('snow white' in Welsh)
Nieve (nee-ay-weh, 'snow' in Spanish)
Carwen ('blessed love' in Welsh)
Aneira (also 'snow' in Welsh)
My obsession with snow? Yeah, I love snow, so I thought I'd name myself after it =P In the end, I eliminated all of them but 4, so I called Ank, who read my mind somehow and picked the one I liked the most ( I couldn't pick it myself, because I was reluctant to let go of the other names XD). So there you go. Nicky Eira. I'll be using it for most things on the net, like a online alter ego =P

Last link in the chain: It's snowing in Dallas. Damn it. I wanna be there!

guy on my profile? huh? *comment flies over head*
YES! YES! finally! no more swimming geeks!.. and remember to tell us what your new url is...
again, YES! you are writing ! you know, it really isn't hard to make someone like you write. you just have to redirect the babbling on to the keyboard-- you always have something to say (not as much as Piks, though =P) and so you could always express it on your blog.
*last comment flies over head as well* XD

...wait a sec!?! the guy you were talking about-- you mean the guy whose picture is on my blog now?? He does NOT look like a girl!!!!! 0.0

@nikki: He is SO an anime guy if you zoom up to 400%. Which leads me to my next remark: the pic has really high res. :))

Nicky Eira said...

Yeah, it does. I forgot to tell you-- the picture is kinda not so clear on my blog; it looks better when you zoom in (which I can do on my iPod, when I found the pic)... Ah well. You found out yourself =P he looks waaaay better close up on the picture ^^
