listening to all around me by flyleaf
hey everyone. as you may gather from the title, i'm not grounded anymore, yay. i had to take off the tagboard and comments (long story) so sorry. the contact form is still open though. i think i'm going to take a break and let bubbles be the main person on here for a while. it's not that i don't want to work on it, i just don't know what to do. it's weird because i WANT to, but i...don't. i think you know what i mean.
happy birthday peter - june 5th, he's 29 now. married and having a kid. he grew up kinda fast didn't he?

It's depressing because for a while, my tagboard groupies and others kinda went crazy on comments- one entry getting like 15, the most I've ever really gotten. Now it's dead, but whatever. Maybe you read and just don't comment. That's cool.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much I like this layout. The header is nice but I don't know about it being used as an actual layout. Too much white. I'm going to start making a ton of layout headers for you guys. I know a lot of you requested that so I'm going to answer you (xD) One thing though-
Do you want layout HEADERS (images) or CODED (full) layouts, or even both?
Oh yeah. listen to "Umbrella" by All Time Low- it's their cover of it. It's on that CD "Punk Goes Crunk"

Hello, my little cupcakes!
I just made/coded a new layout, entitled "Choke On The Drama." Of course, it's a song lyric. It's from the (completely amazing) song "The Girl's A Straight Up Hustler" by All Time Low. Part of the chorus is included around the top left corner of the header. Here's the whole chorus:
"Take off your makeup and put down the camera
Choke on the drama that makes me want to
Tear up the pictures, the pages you've saved
Creating a life of trends and make believe."
Wow, right? I love love love this song. I'm adding the music video to it as the YouTube Video of the Week.
This layout is quite different from the last one...you know what the difference is? It's more ME. I really like neon colors and black together. If it's too hard to read please let me know and I'll fix it! I'm still working on the blog headers. Otherwise, it's basically finished. Remember to help me out and report errors. =P
The favicon (the pink and lime green flashing lightening bolt next to the website title) also goes with this layout perfectly, don't you think?
I'll leave you with the end of the song:
"Carry on home, I'll be waiting miles and miles away
Leaving you to be forever seventeen
Cleaning up the messes that you've made."
edit time! Hi again! I've got all the coding finished layout-wise. Actually I've got the whole site re-coded (not sure about the tutorials...but 99% sure.) I'm kinda pissed off at FanUpdate because I just noticed that instead of using my beloved XHTML version of the line break tag, <br />, I have to use the ugly NORMAL version <br>. I'm not used to it! I need my space and slash! Wahh. Okay, I'm done whining. By the way, JANNAH, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR SITE? IT'S LIKE ALL...STRANGE.

The title comes from the line in the song "Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" by Fall Out Boy: "They say quitters never win, but we walk the plank on a sinking ship."
Anyways, just posting to let you know that I'm getting a lot better sinus-wise...my eye is pretty much healed, my nose has started running a bit again (I'd better go catch it! Haha. Lame) and my left ear is completely stopped up. Otherwise I'm fine, though. I about threw up from blood loss last night but thanks to Coke and saltine crackers I didn't. Thank God. I haven't thrown up in six years, I'd like to keep my record going!
I'm also posting to let you know that all of the "For You" and "Tutorial" sections are completed; I'm PRETTY sure, but that's why I'm loading up SmartFTP and checking it. I'm also going to go through every page of the site and make sure it's as validated as possible. Love ya, bye =]

So, since I'm sorta-kinda sick and got out of school early today I figured I'd delete WordPress off the server.
HOLY FREAKING GOD, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FILES THAT DAMN BLOGGING SCRIPT HAS? NOT TO MENTION ALL THE FILES FOR THE FRICKING PLUGINS!
All in all it's taking forvever. And man, I mean FOREVER, to delete this frigging thing. God. For every folder, there's another five nested in those, another two in each of those, then a couple of image and JavaScript folders, so on and so forth.
But, I am making progress! The "Site" section is completely finished (I'm still working on the layout issues when you submit something on the contact form; the form itself works, but when you get to the confirmation page the sidebar jumps over to the content section.) I'm working on the "For You" section...I believe that I'm on the MySpace shit, which shouldn't take very long. The generators took FOREVER, because I had to change all the "gandf.110mb.com" to "chemicalremix.890m.com" in the second .php generator file thing, or else the images won't work.
While I was typing this entry, I was deleting WP at the same time, and it's done! I gotta go see how much space that took off my server. Bye!
