    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

      Dear Athena,

      Gosh, your layout is so lovely now.
      I love the image you used, and the trees. It’s a bit simplistic, but it’s nice. I think the CSS is such a nice touch to it too. You’ve done really awesome on it.

      But, haha, congratulations on your new printer. I don’t have one, but mostly because mines a laptop. Gay. Whatever, I can’t print anything, but I can always use my dads.

      Omg, a scanner too? I’m so jealous. My dad’s scanner is just an ugly fax machine. And the scans come out discolored and horrible. I envy you now :)

      XOXO Aldo

      Dear Athena,

      Your layout is beautiful. The only thing that bothers me is this box in which I am writing my comments in. It;s a tad bit to the right and I feel as if I have OCD. I just want to put my hand through the computer and move it over a bit. Now for the layout. It’s good. Detailed. Professional. You might want the background to match the exact colour of the tree. It just looks like a black for the tree and then a colour-step up from black as the background. That;s really all.

      :)

      Dear Athena,

      Last thing. I was browsing around your site and I went to the “Free Layouts” page. None of the layouts can be previewed nor downloaded. Just to let you know.

      Dear Athena,

      hey
      thanks for telling em about the problme with my background. I think it’s because my site isn’t compatible with much else besides internet explorer. Isn’t there a way to code your layout so that way it’s compatible with other stuff. I don’t know… If there is and you know where i can learn about it please tell me.

      Dear Athena,

      oh and by the way awesome new layout!

      XOXO ben

      Dear Athena,

      Hey. Thanks for commenting my blog.

      But yeah. I’m doing the best I can to contact my host about getting my domain back. But in case I don’t get lucky with that, I’ve just been trying to think of a new and better domain name. It’s kinda hard, haha. :[

      NICE LAYOUT BTW. Looks very clean and unique.

      XOXO Mark

      Dear Athena,

      Hi Hi!! I moved to a new site @ http://killerbarbie.dirtyrawr.org/

      Also, what a great new layout. The colors really go. wow.

      Dear Athena,

      The new layout is seriously amazing. The kind of shadow effect is really neat! Your CSS is amazing.

      Your lucky you got a printer. I still have to use the family printers which are basically crap. They are as old as time itself and my dad keeps saying, “Yeah, we’ll get a new one today.” Does he get one? No. Good luck with all of that. I can’t wait for the new brushes.

      I never knew there was such a thing as a “fun” school project. That’s an interesting one. ;)

      My songs to buy list are also building up. I just put in an order at Amazon. Nothing is going to ship until the fourth though which completely stinks. I hope you get everything you want!

      XOXO Catherine
