Edit: I have added the new layout!! I really like it. I am just putting a few finishing touches on it. Hope ya like it

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.

Edit: Heyy Ok Sorry to edit twice, I would write again but I just wrote this yesterdays so yeah.. I am in NY right now our flight was fine.. I am going shopping and to the nutcracker tomorrow (yippy!) Hopefully I can get a new winter coat. So the reason why I am editing is to tell you that I will be revamping the site. All of the content and the site in general will be pretty messed up for the next three to four weeks. I will try to give you all a final date soon.. I just need to reorganize the content and do some validation. I also need to fix up the content and just yeah work on stuff.. A new layout is being worked on but the site will look pretty messed up for a while.. I will try to keep blogging.

Edit: I am editing this from the airport at 11:17 PM! Ok.. So I ran out of FTP accounts and I can’t host anybody else.. I am so sorry and I will see if I can upgrade me hosting or at least get more accounts or find an alternative. I can’t switch hosts (and I wouldn’t want to) because 1&1 would keep my domain but oh well I’ll just figure something out..

I also am sad to report that after today I will no longer be able to use illustrator *tear tear* I wish I could say my parents would get if for me but I would be lying.. I am in the middle of two vectors which will remain as a lingering reminder of the beautiful Adobe Illustrator *Cue funeral music please :P*

Wow I just heard and airplane pass overhead and by overhead I mean 50 feet from here haha. Well I g2g check my email before we board the plane and I have to turn my laptop off.. Oh crap we’re boarding already well scratch checking my email and once again fare well sweet adobe illustrator…

So at 11:55 PM tonight (xmas eve) I will be getting on an airplane, how cool is that?!! I am super excited to go to New York. I will be bring Fred and I will try to blog a few times but I wont have wifi so it may not be to many times.. Also I will try to take tons of pictures for you guys.. I will be coming home new years Eve.. (What’s with my parents and their tickets..)

Gah.. I still haven’t started packing and I still need to run by the store to get a new pair of headphones and some new books.

Life has been pretty dull lately (except for the whole NY thing.) I gave a presentation on HTML in class and I think 2 people out of 30 understood what I was talking about.

I am so proud of myself I can finally do the train step in tap. Go me! lol.. It’s not very hard once you get the hang of it but we have to go really fast in our dance.

I am reading The Luxe and Hero right now.. I am not all that into either even though I’m almost done with both. They just keep dragging on and on and on.. The Luxe isn’t very well written and it’s near identical to Gossip Girl it’s just set in NYC 1899 which adds a little interest but a lot of the time they talk like they’re from present day. Hero is ok but it just keeps dragging on and on. I would recommend it to a lot of people though..

A Sweet Far Thing comes out in 2 days (December 26) ohmigawd I am so excited.. I’m going to have to make my parents take me to barns and noble in NY lol..

While we are there (in NY) my shopping list looks something like this:

New wool coat (mine is waaay to small it’s not even funny :()
Two new pairs of jeans (One of my pairs is stained with paint and one is way to small)
One new skirt (I have no cute winter skirts..)
Two-Three new pairs of shoes (My shoe wardrobe is dwindling)
Two-Three new shirts
A new school bag (Mine is too small and hopefully I can find something nice and Century 21)
Some new make up (probebly some lipstick and lipgloss and eye shadow. Ooh and I’ve been wanting some liquid navy blue eyeliner of all things..)
One-Two new pairs of earings

I think that should keep my new outfits coming until March (I hope!) I know that seems like a lot but I haven’t gone shopping since forever ago lol..

Well TTFN I gotta go pack!
