Wednesday, December 31, 2003 - The Sweet Scent of Chicken

Yes, I changed the layout again. I think this one may stay for a while. Links are those little squares at the bottom. The brushes frequency, 141, and dutch_swirl come from Truly Sarah, 8nero.net and VBrush respectively. I still haven't figured out what to do when I start archiving. Maybe those links at the bottom will be dethroned.

But I gotta go. Family fun awaits.

Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - Seeking Inspiration

It's amazing how much creativity I have during the school year. Right now, I've got nothing. That might have to do with the fact that my family is breathing down my neck, asking me to NOT be antisocial and sit in front of the computer all day. It's hard to experiment with Photoshop or write fanfiction when that sort of "waste of time" is frowned upon. It also might have something to do with the fact that I have to rebuild my collection of fun-fun computer add-ons. What would I do without them?? It's so sad to stare at my empty My Documents folder. Boo-hoo!

I'm having pop-up issues. As in, I'm having problems creating a pop-up website. Which is strange considering I've done it before. But it's not working out now. I can't figure it out. I've gone over the HTML code a zillion times but I still don't see the problem. So I scrapped that project and am starting fresh, taking it carefully and step by step. Hopefully it'll work this time.

I haven't even touched my fanfiction since Christmas break started. Gah, there are too many people in this house! Never a moments rest. But anyway, even though I finished my HP parody fic I still have the Clampesque HP fic and my orignal fantasy fic to work on. The Clampesque one is problematic because I still have no idea how it is supposed to end. And the original fic is being tricky because I can't seem to capture the characters' personalities properly. *sigh* I regret deleting that pre-OotP fic (which is now AU), not because it was a good story, but because my writing had been edited to perfection, or at least my personal best. I had Draco Malfoy's disdain down to a tee.

Sunday, December 28, 2003 - Bored-ahoy

Went out for coffee with a high school friend today. Came this close to telling her about my big university Distraction, but felt neither she nor I were ready for it. Maybe some other time.

Sunday, December 28, 2003 - Christmas Theivery, Unreal Lineups, and Upgrade Woes

Yes, Christmas has come and gone in a matter of days. It so didn't feel like Christmas; no snow. The temperature today was 8 degrees! But it was a good Christmas. I didn't get that many physical presents, and I think I like it better that way. However, some important electronic presents were found to be missing in the morning, bringing my parents to the conclusion that someone else is now enjoying my sister's Lion Kind DVD, Mario Double Dash for Gamecube, and my X2 DVD. *shakes fist angrily*

But I wasn't too sad. I had Boxing Day shopping to do. Hoorah for money to burn! The best part was lining up outside one particular clothing store. It was a line of well dressed teenage girls, and when I was finally let in by a couple of female pseudo-bouncers I was greeted by mad dance beats and a funky DJ. Shweet.

And I finally got a new computer. However, rebuilding my once mighty empire of Internet and software goods will be a long process. So... I better get going on that!

Wednesday, December 24, 2003 - Doped Up from a Fat White Pill

To be honest, I don't know what to do with this blog-a-roo. I already created one on my website. But this is soooo convienient! And... well... I dunno. I just want it. I have yet to figure out what I am specifically putting on this thing. Maybe... I will dedicate it to something I haven't had room for yet. Graphic design? Avatars? Meh. I have no clue. Oog, head spinning. Torso feeling light. Must go now. *meeps*
