Listening to: For the Girl - The Fratellis
Edit: Ok so the whole e-commerce thing is under construction but hopefully *crosses fingers* it will work and you will be able to purchase layouts and such!!
Ugh I am mentally beating my self over the head.. It’s been so long since I wrote a blog!
So you will notice a few changes around the site.. My life is starting to get a lot more straightened out so I can get back to the important things.. Yes, I did change the font in case you were scratching your head trying to figure out what’s different. I just think that this one looks better and the old one was bothering me.. Another change you might notice is I am fixing up the sidebar a little. It’s wider and I updated my about me page, it was seriously bugging me! I am also working on creating some more wordpress oriented content. Also I am looking for some great new plug ins.. I have a few in mind I just have to find again. I am still working on those themes but I’ve kinda hit a wall so I thought I would work on some other content.
Schools been pretty good lately.. I have started hanging out with KC and Phillip lately. It’s just so much easier to get along with guys than girls. Everything is so much more straight forward.
I have been in a very rock-ish mood lately. Not like emo heavy metal stuff but perky summery stuff. I am do ready for it to be summer, I have my window open today which is a first in months and I’m loving it!! I cannot believe how much I missed nice weather and how big of impact a little bit of sunshine can have on my mood. Back to music, I have been listening to Augustana, The Fratellis, U2 (I finally got the last of my U2 put on my laptop, thank gawd. I had no clue how I survived without it!) Mana, and Beck.
I have also been writing more lately thanks to a comment from McKenna. Here is the latest thing I wrote, I have been actually been working on it for a couple of weeks but I am finally satisfied with it enough to post it:
Once a man who was filled with wealth but also filled with woe, he decided to use his wealth to build a gilded home. The gilded home soon drew a crowd of golden girls, begging and pleading to be allowed in. As long as he kept the beauty in his world would never end. Once they came they soon discovered the home was not all they believed. As soon as they discovered this they all began to leave. The man watched as his world shattered in his hands so he turned the home into a cage. Over time the gilded cage faded into grey. The candles were extinguished and the music no longer played. As they watched their home disintegrate the golden girls also withered away. Accepting this as a grave carved in stone they began to live once more. They brought the joy back into the cold walls and the music echoed through the halls. The cage had changed back to the home and finally the golden girls were free to go.
Any feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated. Also any ideas for new content would be awesome.
Luv you all and really you don’t know how much your help your support has been for getting through all this.

Yay! First to comment
I do think that this font is much easier to read. Hm. Nothing to request, seeing as I have my own site and all…this box I am writing in is still a bit to the side (at least it is on my computer.) At least you’re not what you called “depression” anymore 
It doesn’t seem like it anyway.
XOXO CarrottHey Athena!! Mm, I know what you mean- a shining sun can do so much for your mood!! =D And the Fratellis are great to listen to on a happy day!! Yay! Anyways, your site’s looking great! The layout is beautiful =D Good luck with thinking of new ideas and content!!
XOXO MahalaU2 is good; especially Vertigo. I heard the Fratellis once. They were not bad. Your writing sounds really good! I would not change a thing. Really great job Athena. If you wanted to share your writing I would suggest going to Notebook MB (http://notebook.escaped-emotions.com/). ingo referred you! Your writing is really good and deserves to be shared.
XOXO CatherineI’m so glad things are better for you.
*hugs* You’re lucky you’re the kind of person who can enjoy a bit of sunlight: my meaning is, finding the simple yet wondrous things in life and reveling in them is a great part of the healing process. There’s something about feeling warm sun rays on your skin: for anyone who doesn’t believe the world holds some kind of magic, sunlight proves it for sure! 
I’m glad you’re writing more! For those with the desire to put pen to paper, writing is such a great release…I don’t know what I’d do without it.
I like that piece you wrote there. It sounds like an imaginative, non-stereotypical fairy tale! I would expand on it; keep working on it and see what forms from it.
That’s how all great stories are created: they start from one simple idea.
I’m NEVER content with my about me page. xD I think I’m going to re-work the autobiography again, maybe…o.O I can never be sure. I think I’m satisfied and then something creeps up on me and irks me. LOL!
Keep enjoying life. xx
XOXO McKennaMake content about your hobbies. It will make you a big pleasure to make content about them, and actually you will have a very original content. Actually, this is what I want to do with my blog, because I started to think that my content sucks big time.
XOXO MonicaGlad you’re getting better. Can’t wait to see your new content
XOXO CarrottOOH you’re opening a shop! I didn’t notice that the last time I was here, hehe. That’s so cool: I hope everything goes smoothly, getting it installed and all.
That plugin you showed me is really cool; only thing is, the site I’m working on doesn’t have Wordpress…so I don’t think it’d work. I’m just going to have to figure it out for myself: the old-fashioned way!
But thanks for trying to help, anyways. 
I really like the name ‘Abelinda’: it was worth the time spent trying to figure it out! Ethereal Rose, I chose that because 1. I love the word Ethereal, and what it means, and 2. I love Roses; the Rose has a prominent role in the fantasy series I’m working on, so roses have special meaning to me.
XOXO McKennaI love rock music! Definitely not metal or screamo or anything. Blech. XP Anyway, glad to hear things are in order again! I understand how stressful stuff can get. And you’re right, font really does make a huge difference. xD
XOXO MelodyI agree that it’s easier to get on with guys than girls. I think guys talk more sense. xD
That bit of writing is really interesting and good.
It’s simple, so I don’t think it would need editing at all, if you ever thought of doing that :P!
XOXO TashaOmgosh I didn’t even notice the font, I can’t remember, ahh well I’m sure your happier now with it. The sidebar does look wider, and its good to hear your life is pacing itself out. Omg you feel the same way I do, about getting along with boys and girls thing. I totally get along better with guys than girls, except for my best friend but apart from that yeah totally agree with you there. Considering the storm that hit us from Canada, we’ve had a few days of lovely sunshine, and wow do I miss that. Its so pretty and warm and yeah it totally lifts your spirits for some reason. Am looking forward to your new content Athena, have a great day, ttfn.
