ACK! It hurts!
[Sunday, April 4, 2004 at 11:06 p.m.]
My arm! It hurts like hell because I had to scrub the floor today. And, because I'm such a perfectionist, I just HAD to go and make sure every bit of dirt was scrubbed off. Woe is me...
I made a new layout. Yes. MADE a new layout. But now I"m having trouble getting it into html. Blech. Gonna go work on it some more.
OH THE PAIN! Someone put me out of my misery!
Stuff
[Thursday, March 25, 2004 at 09:37 p.m.]
Been kinda sick lately. Headaches and stuff. Almost blacked out today. It was strange. My whole world was like flashing between pitch black and electric blue (real electric blue, like when your lightbulb burns out). And there were a few flashes of the real world in between. Not an experience I would like to relive anytime soon.
I'm thinking about making a new layout. Seriously making a new layout. Not snatching one off DayDreamGraphics. If I do make one, it will be green. And simple, I think. With minimal picture editing and just a few DIV layers. ::snort:: I seem to be changing my layout every month. Gosh, I'm so indesicive.
Is that how you spell indesicive? It looks wierd. I must be spelling it wrong. Indescicive? Indecisive? Yeah. I think that's it. Indecisive.

This entry deals with two things. So I picked an appropriate title. You'll see.
I GOT MY PS2 WITH A MEMORY CARD AND DDRMAX2 AND 2 DANCE PADS TODAY!!!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa, so happy! Love it, love it, love it.
But I can't play yet...there's this nasty nasty nasty invasion of little winged ants. Happened last year too. It's soooooo grooooooooooooooooooosss. Soon, they'll shed their wings and that's groooooooss too. Eeeeeeeeeeew.
I want to play in the basement on the big screen TV but bugs are down there. Usually. And since there's an ant invasion, there are probably a lot more down there than up here. Thank god for the second level. The ants don't usually make it there.
Waaaaaah. How gross!!

I'm eating shrimp crackers. Yes, my little American friends, shrimp crackers. And this entry really has no point. I'm hungry and I'm bored. And I think I'll go change the chatterbox to a TagBoard. Nyah, Serena. I'm copying you again.
Ugh...
[Monday, March 15, 2004 at 04:02 p.m.]
Still feel as crappy as hell. Like a bulldozer ran over me except...it didn't. Wow, conjuction. DeAngelis told us that conjuctions are NOT ALLOWED in high school writing. Anyone care to vouch for her?
Memory Book flat out sucked today. Kelly and Casey had to go to Drama Club so they weren't there. Emily had to go to the orthodontist so she wasn't there. And, as a result of the three of them not attending Memory Book, Ellen HAD TO GO HOME because she didn't have a ride. So little ole Iris had to do all the work and she didn't even have all of the FUCKING pictures. The hell with it? What is wrong with them????
Bad day. Bad day. Bad day. And I'm still sick. Yay.
Layout
[Sunday, March 14, 2004 at 02:29 p.m.]
As you've undoubtedly noticed, there's a new layout. Why? Because the blueness of the old one was starting to bug me with the way it was tealish. Plus I'm practically sick right now and have nothing better to do. This one is bound to stay up for more than the month that the last one did just because I like it.
There were no mentions as to where the image for this layout came from but I swear, it's so much like Paradise Kiss. Which I want to read sooo badly. Sadly, book 2 is never in stock. Grr.
Well, leave a comment or whatever. I don't really care at the moment. That's how damn miserable I feel right now. I'm at the point where I don't care anymore...stupid, god damned cold.
