I've made a new set..
But this ain't no ordinary new sig/avatar combo I would usually do.
This is sort of like a tribute to a dear friend of mine who passed away at the same day as today of last year.
Jierce was her name.
She was truly a remarkable friend of mine, she would be the one I would turn to for problems, she's was an intelligent person, everyone adored her, she was very inspirational, and she meant everything to each and everyone of us.. in fact she was my best friend. It's sad how one person's future can just slip away in just a single day.. she had a bright future ahead of her.. to me, I felt as though she was more like a sister of mine.
Now I know how valuable life really is..
V === Sig: She was a very attractive girl, she resembles A.J. Cook in everyway.. I would often tease and call her A.J., and she would constantly get pissed for no reason.. I thought it was always a good compliment..
She loved roses as well, especially the white ones.. She'll often say that it's more prettier and more meaningful than the red ones, I didn't understand what she meant at that time.
She also dreamt of sky-diving once, a few friends made a pact that we would one day sky-drive all together.. that dream was stolen from her.
< === Avatar: Jierce was very athletic, she loved the sport of Tennis. It was her who got me involved in the sport, and now, I still love it. We would usually travel together with a few friends to Melbourne Park for the Australian Open to see the Tennis live. We were hitting partners, practicing and playing in most weekends just for fun.
She was the biggest fan of Marat Safin (the one in the Avatar) I've ever met. She would have thousands of posters of him all over the wall, she also got an autograph from him at the Australian Open once and she bragged about it all day long. With her knowing me very well, I would tease her about it. Well just to repay all my debts for Jierce, I would hopefully one day get another autograph just for her and place it on her tombstone.
As for everything else.. I love you Jierce, "No matter what happens, you'll always been in my heart".. one of your last words will always remain with me, from now until forever..
You've always been my best friend and dear sister to me..
You'll never be forgotten, you will be eternally remembered and you'll always be in my heart.
Just sharing my thoughts.
.. I'm just showing this set.. hope you guys like it..
When speaking about a loved one, it is best to not use past tense. Feeling the pain of them out of your life is hard. And I'm sorry to hear about your friend. But, when speaking of a lost one, try to use present tense. Although it may not be true, or it may be, saying things like "She is my best friend." and "We have a pact to go Sky-Diving together..." It will give the feeling she is there with you right now. And since you love her so much, I presume she feels the same way. So, she may not be there in body, but she is there.
Don't worry. This may sound ficticious, but keep that dream alive. I can guarantee you will go skydiving with her. As long as you know she hasn't forgotten. Nothing can break a promise. I know when it's your time, you will see her again. And you can spend your lives together, in heaven.
I like the set....and i think you should keep it and at least put it back on every year.....if your still here........sorry just don't know what more to say......
Yeah.. thanks for the advice FoxFire.. but I got used to expressing my feelings of lost loved ones by past tense.. but I guess I should start thinking more lively..
Yeah.. I'll keep that dream alive for her most definitely..
Chocotje, yep.. I'm definitely keeping it and use it every year..
I also made a wallpaper tribute for her..
Thanks for caring Choco and FoxFire, you've made my day!
i like it for 4 resons. it is really well done. its nice to do stuff like this for freinds. the colors are cool and the font is not bad... but i dont get the Avatar who is that in there ?
.. I guess you don't know any Tennis icons huh? It's Marat Safin.. Jierce was a "VERY" big fan of him.. she would constantly brag about him, even though she knew I was not interested in anyway.. mm. (Check the Avatar meaning).
I'm so glad you like it for those reasons Eidorian.. thanks..
o i see now i like the avatar aswell and now even more but before i was thinking to myself.. theres a pic of teh girl who died in his sig but a guy in his avatar and it made me think...
Like I said on AIM, it's brilliant. Couldn't be any better, in my opinion. I don't know what advice I can give you on the this subject, because I've never experienced it, but just know that I'm on AIM if you need to talk to someone. *Nod*
Hey, I know how you feel. My new set is a tribute too. It's a tribute to my brother. I used anime in it, because he LOVED it, as my mom said. The reason why it says to the one I'll never know, is because I was only 5 years old when he passed away, so I never really got to know him. Anyways, I love the new set, it's very well done, and thoughful.
