Thanks for the welcome Did everyone have a good Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa? I enjoyed going to my aunt's house, I hadn't seen them in a long time. What were you going to use ImageReady for, parrot? I've never used it, but I've heard it is used as an animating program. Photoshop Elements 4.0 (as well as 2.0) has a built in animation feature. You use a .gif file, and when you go to save it, check the box that says "Layers as Frames" or something to that effect. Then, you will be brought to a screen where you can change the framerate and whether you want the animation to loop. Edit: I see now. Good luck with that

I'd like to use Image Ready for making flash animations, YTMND pages, and other kinds of things.

My christmas was great. The parties for each of my parents sides were finished already, so it was pretty cool. I got a bunch of stuff.
Gamecube Mario Party 7 Super Smash Bros. Melee Leather Jacket Leather driving gloves personalized Cleveland Browns jersey Complete car cleaning kit (the bag for it doubles as a backpack/cooler) Vote for Pedro pajama pants a long sleeved shirt a ufo chair (a small black chair perfect for playing gamecube in)
As for 2006, this is usually the one night out of the year that I hate the most. My parents go to a party with their friends who's kids are all either in college or are older, and both my sisters and my bro go to parties, wherever they may be. I am stuck at home alone, and it always seems like no one is on msn when I want them to be.

So what are everybody's resolutions for 2006? My resolution is to devote more time to college and, to be a little deeper with it, "to make the possible decision I mortally can in everything I do."

My resolution: Straight A's
I know I could easily do it, considering a few years ago I took one of those standardized tests the state makes and scored a 99%. So yep, my resolution is to be validictorian of my class.
