Oh my goodness gracious it’s a printer!
Listening to: Merry Happy - Kate Nash
So guess what peoples. I GOT A PRINTER! I know it’s that cool.. Actually it is. I’ve usually print using the PC’s printer (We have a ‘family’ PC aka. Evil Box of Doom!) I try not to use it unless I have to print and it’s too old to set up a network with.. Well the Evil Box of Doom got a virus and crashed so now not only is my dad kidnapping my laptop for half the day but I can’t print anything.. I have been wanting my own printer for a while because it takes forever to print on the PC because I have to turn on the PC log in get to my email download the attachment while my dad’s anti-virus software (so much for that..) scans it open Word and print it. Yeah it takes about 15 minutes and I end up late to school because of it.. Also if it’s late at night and I’m working upstairs there’s no way I am going back downstairs to print a stupid document.
Anyways.. I got a HP Photosmart C4280. It has a scanner so I can scan in more of my drawings for you guys and make brushes!! I still have to set it up but before then I have to clean up my room so I don’t have to set it up on my bed because you can’t stand on the floor.. I have a shelve under my desk I can put it where it wont take up much room which is good.. I am really excited because we are doing this project at school that requires stuff like printing.. It’s a really fun project I just couldn’t finish it before because I couldn’t print anything.
I am totally in love with this layout! It’s just what I wanted. I am also super proud of the CSS. It’s a lot more sophisticated that what I normally do and I tried to do something that’s a little more professional. I am just so happy to finally make a layout I really like. The last one was ok I just wasn’t head over heals in love with it like I normally am. This one I can’t stop staring at! lol.. So tell me what you think and seriously I would rather hear constructive criticism than ‘Ooh. Cute layout.’
I have a 37+ long list of songs I have to buy! It’s crazy.. It just keeps pilling up. I wish I hadn’t already spent all of my itunes gift cards!
I know this is a rather short blog so I will try to add more later.
XOXO & TTFN

Edit: So I have finished the main image for the new layout! All I’ll tell you is that it will be called *drum roll* “In the shadow of an oak” I am quiet proud of it and it’s really one of my favorites.. (As far as I can tell..) I still have to write the CSS and the coding. I want to add a few more updates and move some links around and the site should be done! I don’t have a date for the new layout but if all goes according to plan I will be able to code it over the weekend and finish up all the revamping by next weekend!
Title explaination first. I haven’t blogged in like two weeks! I am beating myself up mentally right now. I am working on the new layout. I have a few ones started but I haven’t made anything I really like.. I really want to spend more time on the CSS for the next layout and do even more improvements on wordpress. Also my friend Anna told me this story when she was little and she always called swiss cheese wholly cheese.
School has been blah. I no longer have to tap dance though so thats good.. I switched out of Period 1 Dance 2 to Period 1 Dance 1 for the performance so I am doing the Period 1 Jazz 1 dance. It’s really easy but I get to be in the front a lot which is nice because I am always in the back for ballet (I’m not ugly just special!)
Our teachers are piling on the homework. I most have Science and Core work since I am basically ignoring all things Geometry right now. I missed this lesson on right angle trig. and I am uber confused right now. I would have my dad explain it to me but he is on a trip for work and my mom barely finished Algebra.
I have been listening to a very odd assortment of music lately. Unlike most normal people I catagorize my music by the weather. I am not kidding. Lately it’s been really sunny and 30 F. I have been listening to a lot of country for some odd odd reason. Also classical (piano). I really want it to be the summer. I am getting bored with everything.. (school, weather..)
My mom’s classroom bunny has official retired. Ruby is now staying at home all of the time and she will stay inside this summer. She is 7 or 8 years old and is just getting to old to stay at school all day and she would rather stay here and sleep.
Ok now for your dose of phylosophy for the day. I have decided on my opinion about the meaning of life.
You can’t find the meaning of life because life means something different to everyone. You can only find what life means to your self.
I decide on this at 3 AM when I couldn’t sleep (as usual) I think it makes sense but it’s ok if you don’t think it does.
I know this blog is slightly shorter than I have been writing lately but I really need to work on homework so I will leave it at this.
