I’ll Stay Unbound
Posted Friday 19 February 2010 @ 3:35 pm. 15 comments

After taking a break for about a month and a half, I have finally decided to return to Broken Fall. It was an impromptu, unplanned break, so I’m sorry for not letting you guys know. I really appreciate all my visitors who commented even though I was gone. :love: I’m sure you’ve heard it a thousand times, but it’s you guys who keep me going in terms of the site.

I really needed that break. It was nice to get away from the stress and pressure of keeping up with the site. Returning comments had become a chore, and I was just waiting for it to be fun again. While I was away, I thought about closing the site and just focusing on school and trying to find another job, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I’m happy that I didn’t decide to close the site, and I’m excited to dive back into it.

In regard to returning comments, just the thought of it turns me off from blogging again. Instead, I have a plan of sorts. I’m not going to worry about returning every comment I get. I will gradually return comments when I feel like it, and if they are never all returned, so be it. It should be fun, not a chore.

I haven’t been completely away from the web design world. I got a job designing a website for a remodeling company, and I’ve also opened two new websites of my own. Undenied.us, opened on 16 February 2010, is the home of my 365 logos design project, and Acoustic.nu, opened on 19 February 2010, is the new home of my fanlisting collective.

Anyway, this was just a quick little blog to let you guys know that I am back. Like I said, I appreciate everyone that has continued to visit my site even when I am gone, and a big thank you to those of you who left comments on my last blog expressing concern for my well-being due to my absence. Thank you! :love:

    OMG HELLO missy. :D I am glad you blogged. After so loooong!

    Good to see you back on the “blogging scene” as they call it now. Even though I know you’ve been “around”. :love:

    Returning comments can sometimes feel like a chore. :( Sometimes I’m even scared just to look at how many I have. But you can return comments at your own pace. There’s no need to feel pressured! I should be telling that to myself, obviously. But I never listen. *the stubborn loser trudges away*

    Sometimes it is fun for me, but only when I realise I have about 10 left or something. :P

    WHEEEE I’m excited about your new projects. And Hannah said she loved the layout too. :D

    WHEEEE you’re back. ^3^ xP xD x3 ^.^ :love: :D :D

    Nice to see that you are back! I have seen that a lot of people are reopening their websites, including me. Its nice to see that. I think we all need that little break away from web designing for a little bit. I know I did, but it feels so good to be back.

    And you are right, this should make you happy! Haha I would love to have the chore of returning comments actually though, considering I don’t get many often, but thats okay I guess. :D

    Anyway, congrats on getting that job!!! That sounds AMAZING! I would love that job if I had it. ^D^

    Oh and I also visited your sites. Really nice. The logo idea is very creative!

    im glad you are back, but i dont think you could really ever stay away from blogging haha, especially if you opened up 2 other sites lol. I always wanted another site, but one for me is a lot already haha. Anyway yea i think once a blogger always a blogger ahha, i have a whole theory on that too lmfao, maybe i’ll blog about it one day. Yea i just dont go on as much as i use too. like i checked back only when im free/weekends and i end up with like 10 comments. haha so yea im doing them all now:)

    and yea i guess haha, idk i usually have blinding layouts, so this is a huge step.. (y) lol and nah it’s not that ben, though i am really good friends with British Ben lol. It’s Ben from Braindeadd.org if you remember him.. hha i dont think most people know him, as much as British Ben.. there are too many Ben’s in the webdesigning world, just like Tiffany’s aka why i changed my name.. well to a nickname.

    AndVideo chatting is amazing, since this ben is Canadian and im American, i heard his voice so that was pretty cool, i love accents lol, so he had a little candian accent.

    and a lot of people think being at home is not having a life, liek if you dont do anything on Friday, and you are on the computer (ahah me), people would be like “tiffany doesn’t have a life”.. and im just like uhh i do haha, im talking to the coolest freaking people in the world:) haha you guys:)

    Welcome back :D
    I needed a break too,i had it and now my enthusiasm for webdesign has come back :)
    I agree, returning comments shouldn’t be a chore. It’s not like that person commented because he/she is getting a comment back, but to talk to you about what you blogged :)

    Thank You ^^
    It’s Top Ten People :)
    Ikr?! Wasted days at school is so boring that you can actually say you want to attend a class that moment XD
    I would’ve not took it and if i’m required to, i’d throw it in the garbage can XD
    Lol, i hate Facebook too. It just seems to be overrated this days :|

    YUSS! YOU’RE BACK :D
    I’ve missed our comment conversations! Msn and Twitter just seem to fall short – Blog conversations are so much more interesting. *reminisces about Rachel and the Retractable* xD

    Taking a break from websites always makes you tempted to give up, but I’m so glad you didn’t! I don’t know what I would do without my Rachel! :(

    YES! Finally! Someone who doesn’t force themself to return every comment! :D I have nothing against people who do, I mean I am amazed by them, they are incredible (especially people like Georgina & Vicky & Gillian who get tons every day!) but I am just so glad I’m not the only person not returning every single measly comment ^_^

    YAY NEW WEBSITES! (also, I am going to go ahead and do the icon a day thing, I think :) ) I’ve already seen them / fallen in love with them, but I thought I’d just cheer about them on here anyways ;)

    I plan to watch more! In fact, I’m going to try and find The Little Mermaid online now, because I’m in the mood for a film and I’ve wanted to watch that since forever :D I’ve always wanted to see Pocahontas as well.. Actually, I want to see all of them! :D

    I love kids films anyways :) I have RugRats in Paris on my iPod! (Yes, I am THAT cool ^.^ )

    It is an absolutely adorable film! You really should see it! What’s the iffy-ness of it being set in New Orleans? (I really don’t understand American States, but what’s up with that one then?)

    Aww thankyou :) That’s why I like it as well XD
    YOU SHOULD GET A PURPLE ONE THEN WE COULD BE LIKE, PROM DRESS BUDDIES.

    Yes yes, I know I said I would update. I really wish I did too. But I have not gotten all I need to start my project that I’m working on for the online world yet, so that couldn’t go up. And I have been pretty uninspired for layouts. I tried last night and I got tired in like 2 minutes.

    Most of the entire week off has consisted of SAT studying. I even took a practice test on my own this morning, and that took 4 hours. And I have scholarships to enter, and so much stuff to do. Not to mention my yearbook deadline on Monday xP

    Wow, I’m really sorry about your yearbook editors. They sound like they kinda suck. I really hate when people are part of the staff just because they think they don’t have to do anything, or they slack off. Hey, I can understand any and all yearbook rants. I go through them every day. People will start getting mad at each other and then both tell me separately, or I will hear someone was annoyed with me because I asked her to go take pictures of waterpolo after I already went to three games by myself. Heck, I even went when it was raining and held an umbrella over the camera xD

    Woww, they were saying it wasn’t the school’s book? That’s kind of the point. At least you understand that and want to change things. Your staff is just holding you back D:

    Star Wars? My goodness…

    Yeah there were tech adults sitting on the bleachers working the lights and it was so awkward because its like we are dancing and they are just staring down at us…how can people dance knowing they are just watching you?

    I’m glad you are back and I’m glad you found a company to create the website for! I’d love to see the finished site when you are done, cuz it is neat to see the difference between professional sites and personal sites, you know? I’m sure its awesome!

    Welcome back :D !
    Sometimes, we need to take a break from blogging. Other times, we might need to take a break from returning comments instead. Returning comments, it`s always up to you when you would like to return it. Or if you have the time to return a few at all. It isn`t ever a chore :) !
    A365 logo project is a neat-fty idea! I love the designs because it just attracts my attention :O ! &A fanlisting collective is a great organizer for joined fanlistings :D ! Its always fun coming up with new websites for the fun ;D !
    My laptop is Windows 7& I love it to the max :D ! My desktop, somehow can`t boot up any DVD`s. :( ! As of now, it`s windows xp. Though I`m trying hard to get the DVD to work so I can upgrade it :D ! XP is better than Vista. I personally think Vista was just a “temporary” operating system for windows 7 :O !

    Welcome back to you, as well! ;)

    Ahh returning comments did seem like a chore, somewhat.. That’s one of the reasons why I left, anyways.

    Ahh, those are my favourite too! That’s why my layout is that colour. ^^ Ohh, I’ve never heard of that food… I’ll be sure to try it. And yes, I do follow you on Twitter at the moment. ;)

    Oh, really? I love English! It’s my favourite subject, and my second favourite class(next to science). I like writing poetry and reading, as well. :) Take care!
