How exactly does one get backgrounds for CSS? I`ve seen dozens of amazing backgrounds, but I was never quite able to find a website for them.

Also, what code is needed to put two boxes next to each other? I tried to use a code from one of the blogs here, but I think I messed it up. XD

are we aloud to have rp Mates o_O?

[Thought I would try my hand at this, seeing as its been a while and I've naught else to do at work. Open to those willing to put forth a paragraph or two. Thek has a picture on another post. ]

It was snowing. Again. Like it had been earlier in the afternoon, that morning and all the week before. And like those previous days of fleeting daylight it was cold. Always cold. Not unbearably so, unlikely that one would freeze to death in a matter of mere hours, but the woods seemed adamant against reaching temperatures above 'acceptably comfortable' and hovered more around 'undeniably attractive nose dripping'. With a sniffle the small shuffling fawn burrowed further into the nest of foot-deep frozen rain about a dozen yards off from the thick sheet of ice covering the small pond- an offshoot of the main water source that others had gathered about over the course of the day.

The sun was already dipping below the tops of the snow-dusted pines by this point in time although it could almost still be considered afternoon, the short days and lack of warming rays doing very little to resolve the issue of everything being inedible and for this the young Theket lamented with a scornful scowl and abrupt lashing-out of a black forehoof; kicking up a small flurry of the pristine flakes that so matched the majority of his his pelt. While it was admittedly gorgeous very little good came of the irritating sky-fall aside that it helped him stay hidden from unwanted attention while still being able to remain somewhat close to the protection that the presence of the older deer offered in deterring hungry others. Naught but the twin spikes and large ears, both black at the tips, really gave him away while lying in the little hollow he'd dug to defer the slight, but piercing, breeze, passing the time by watching the small gathering of stag and doe alike at the main pond with the single remaining blue eye.

[=darkgreen]Today I awoke, and found Jettem sitting under a willow by the pond. The large one. Whether she wanted to hide or not, I don't know; only that it seemed unlikely to work, a red figure against the green leaves. I was happy, since I don't see her often when I get the chance to hang out with her. It makes me feel regretful.
I joined her for a while, and quite enjoyed it... But when she got up, she completely ignored me, and dashed off without even a hello. I've always thought of our relationship as friendly, but... I get the impression it's not mutual. With that thought clouding my heart heavily, and her figure retreating, I went to bed...

I woke up in better spirits, because I noticed Lemon yet again; I'm happy to see her as often as I have been; for one, I've not been seeing much of anyone else, so not only has her company been wonderful for getting re-acquainted, it's also been a wonderful way to pass the time.
She looked a bit hurt, though -- had something happened? It looked like it would slow her movements a bit, so I have no objection to sitting and letting her rest and recover. I don't know exactly what happened, but it has me worried.
With her was Malikorin, who she seemed to be sitting comfortably with. Had he defended her from whatever happened earlier, or had he just come along when she was hurt and scared? Well, either way... I want to thank him; she seemed very comfortable with him, which I know is what she really needs after something bad's happened. Anyway, he was a fine companion as well.

When she fell into a deeper sleep, I found myself still sitting with Malikorin. I elected to stay even after he fell asleep; sometimes I don't, in favor of finding something to do... But I'm never confident in it; it seems rude... Still...I get the impression that sort of thing isn't much value...When I sit with someone, it's rare to see it acknowledged.

Just got here this week...would like to find my friends already here, but it is so hard to get a good image of my picto to share with them. How do you do it?
