    Athena, a mathalete cannot survive without her macbook dubbed Fred by her mother. A chocolate addict and music fanatic. She listens to everything from Beck to Ingrid Michaelson to U2 to Sia to Jem, just to name a few. She will never be caught without at least 3 books handy. (My parents have started checking my suitcase before we go anywhere after I brought 15 books with me to Seattle.) So that's Athena in a teaspoon take it or leave it.

    Oh my goodness gracious it’s a printer!

    Filed under Layout, School, Other - Word Count: 448

    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

    Bday Blog!

    Filed under Other - Word Count: 249

    Listening to: Save Me - Jem

    So today, November 29th, is my Bday!! I am turning 14. I have already gotten most of my presents.. I already have a list 18+ songs long of songs I need to buy..

    As you may have noticed there is a new layout! It may undergo a few changes in the navigation over the next few days but it should pretty much stay the same.. I really like this one. I made the flower vexel and I think I may make more for a brush set! (It should be amazing) I traced it in illustrator. Yes, I downloaded the free trial.. I am loving it so far, if only it didn’t cost 600+ dollars I would buy it in a flash..

    Dark room is doing great. I got a good grade on my last roll. So I shot my 4th roll on the wrong kind of film so I just got it developed at Fred Meyers. Not very many shots came out well but the ones that did where amazing! I developed my 4th roll (I shot it again) in class today and it got out of the fixer in time for me to see it. It’s amazing the contrast is great. I can’t wait to start enlarging it. I was almost sad to be done with my last roll it, enlarging pictures is really fun if you have good negatives..

    Well TTFN I know this was a really short blog :P
