For some reason the smallest things are always the most trickiest to find! Here's what I did for the leaf:
#squeeze h2:before{content:""}

Thank you everyone. ♥

Also, is it just me or do comment previews fail? :B

If there's anything I learnt

If there's anything I learnt from the whole CSS stuff then it's that you can do almost anything with it if you're just persistent enough. |D (and that Firebug is my life essence)
And I always preview anything like.. ten times. But for some reason the preview doesn't show up at all here though.

To add to the code you gave me, lookie:

Being together is my favorite

Being together is my favorite activity.
And it wasn't so much a suggestion... just, sometimes I feel like I should tell people how I name them.

To not give any pronunciation, or to keep it as yourself is very natural I think.

In your body{ ... }, you need to add "background-repeat:repeat;". It should work then.

You always have something

You always have something meaningful and interesting to share. Last section, first sentence was especially familiar. I often wonder how sane it is to have a dialogue with oneself so it's always good to see that I am not the only one that does it.
Unplugged's picture

I had a part of that sentence

I had a part of that sentence as my MSN Status for a while, you have a good memory!
It's great to find like-minded people. I'm always so bummed when I try to start a conversation about this kind of stuff and the other person just brushes me off completely. I often have these situations where people tell me "you're weird" whenever I question something. I don't know why but it seems like these dialogues are just so frowned upon, even though it's unhealthy. I only realized that myself a while ago so I try to be more open and honest about everything.

Or I can see something simple as a leaf falling from a tree or a cashier, sitting there and doing their work and my mind just starts running a mile. And I just can't imagine other's don't do it, but then I try to talk and just get really frustrated.

Hello! Thank you for spending

Hello! Thank you for spending some time with Flyra today. We really enjoyed it even if I had to go rather soon. We had so much fun though, frolicking at the blue flower field. ♥
Ben is an amazing character, a true Forest deer. I also love the screenshot up there in your blog (:

And by the way, previewing a comment in your blog here looks indeed quite odd! D:

Oh pff Unplugged, that made me so happy to hear! Shocked I have been on a sort of hiatus from the Forest since it hadn't worked on my old laptop for a while, and then I felt a sort of distance to the game so I didn't really start playing again, but I think I've fully returned now. It feels great to be back, and our time yesterday with you added a lot to it. (:
You look up to me?

I experience that... I think

I experience that... I think it's especially strong when you have the intention of posting it somewhere, and you do it and suddenly think "... damn, I don't want it now." And feel miserable about it, because no-one will be as proud as you felt and you feel bad for expecting so much. Or something like that.
I hate it whatever it is =D

Hm, I've been wanting to meet you in forest. It's awkward, really, I keep seeing you as Mozart and feel I should leave you alone. You're mostly sleeping when I'm in forest anyway haha so maybe it doesn't matter.

While I am drawing it is a

While I am drawing it is a kind of absence of thought mostly. I call things 'finished' when i'm blind to them and can't see them anymore. Usually after they're "finished" I start to see the flaws. Then a few months or years later I can look back and like them.

I just know when I haven't drawn for a while, it builds up in me like... I can't describe, but it starts itching out of my fingers and skull and I can't focus on anything until I doodle something.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Onto late-responding!

Dag-- Aww nooo don't think that way. I understand the association with Mozart, but I have pretty much stopped that behaviour. D8 I don't feel uncomfortable approaching other deer and neither should anybody else!
But yeah sometimes I'm a lazy bum in the forest. I leave us sleeping a lottt but that doesn't mean I'm not here. (well, at least not always) Sticking out tongue I love both, fooling around and just sitting, relaxing and interacting. Sometimes I just feel like button-mashing for a few minutes and then just do something else, and sometimes I just want to enjoy the forest alone but that doesn't mean I'm unapproachable. I'll most likely get back to you later anyway if I really really just want some quiet moment by myself at that moment.
That being said I never really see you in the forest! 8[ But yeah I agree, we should hang out sometime.

Regarding to what you and eyestrain said about drawing I'm afraid I don't have much to add other than you guys gave me a bit of an insight and I think I feel in similar ways. Thank you for responding to me, I love reading how others feel about things because it always helps me with understanding better what I feel. So thanks a lot. Smiling
