My first and most important question: what tools does one use when designing these shirts? I recently downloaded a free trial of Adobe Illustrator, but when I tried it was like using a more frustrating version of paint. So, how do you all do it? I have some ideas, but no idea about how to go about making them.

Help?

Next question: what is the meaning of life...?

Oh yeah, I asked it.

:D

Ta!

I really like this whole birthday thing. It's very nice. I my favorite part of it is getting presents for merely just exsisting for a whole year. Man, that exsisting sure is hard work! *Whew.* :P

I wonder who thought up the whole 'presents on your birthday' thing. I mean, if you think about it, the people who put up with you deserve presents more than whoever is just doing the exsisting. :P

But, I'm not complaining. I love presents. :D Like Threadless T-shirts!!! Yay!!

:D :D :D

word.

So, this just goes to show how much of a nerd I am. I'm watching a series of shows on the Science Channel called Download: The True Story of the Internet, and the one that's on now is called "People Power," which, I'm sure you could guess, is about social networking sites and file sharing sites like Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, etc. etc. Anyway, to the point, for like a split second they show some guy in an aisle at a store wearing the "Communist Party" T-Shirt! It was cool, and I was excited. :D

The Science Channel may soon replace the History Channel as the geeky channel I watch the most... o.O Yeah, I'm cool. Don't be jealous. :D I already watched one about the "Bubble," or the DotCom era and subsequent crash. OH! The Communist Party guy is back! Darn, I missed his name, but apparently he's an MP3 pioneer. Coolio! Back again! David Weekly (or Weakly) is Communist Party guy! He was a student at Standford and created his own computer program to put songs on computers as MP3s. How cool, because I love MP3s. :D

Anyway, yeah, that's the whole point of this... :P

Hey everybody! My name is Rachael, and truthxinxshadow is my sn for just about everything. As much as I would like to make cool t-shirt designs, I do not have the means. I do, however, have the means to make t-shirt slogans, so check those out (and vote WIN! *hinthint*). Hmmm, I'm going to Roosevelt University in Chicago, though for this semester I am doing correspondence course due to housing problems. Blegh. But yeah, it's all good. Next semester I'll be in Chicago, so yay for the Threadless store!! I'll be able to go!! Woots. It's perdy exciting. :D Well, peace out, for now.
