Among the 'features' added:
Title of post in Last Post, Friends Pages, Calendar view (every page where displayed multiple entries) now links to entry.
One problem, though. The code broke the Smooth Sailing layout. The whole thing.
You're supposed to test these things first, boys and girls.
ETA: Looks like it was fixed. But how long until something else breaks? |

| | Keane - Spiralling | ] |
You know, I see the advantages of adding albums of artists that I'm pretty sure that I like without listening to them and then the songs just surprise me randomly, because I've just heard "Spiralling" by Keane, and the song hit me right at the heart, I love it when a song does that to me.. it hits me intensely and just won't let go, because it came on right when I was making my new Aiike(Ike) icon and it just came on and it was absolutely perfect and fit exactly the mood of the icon. So yes, I really should do that you know, just randomly add albums.
Though all the music I have added have paid off. I mean I sort of got rid of ALOT of seiyuu songs that are unneeded, now when I listen to my ipod, I don't hear row upon row of Japanese music.
Though I'm okay with the music that I keep on my playlist, because I keep it for a reason.
Aiike is so very cute, I adore playing a Warden, it's so much fun and their sheilds are so wicked awesome! I had to get on regular computer to make the icon but I'm going back upstairs to play. Whee. |

i am absolutely horrible at doing these, but i've decided to get another journal after i left a few months ago! my name is kathleen, and i'm seventeen years old and a senior. i'm pretty excited to be leaving home, as i recently got my acceptance letterto sagniaw valley state university where i plan to go in the fall. oh, i live in michigan and i truly don't understand it. the snow and coldness, just doesn't work for me! i ramble a lot, i don't drink/smoke/do drugs/have sex and have lost friends because of that. the television shows that i watch religously are: desperate housewives, brothers and sisters, one tree hill, greek, private practice, grey's anatomy, gossip girl, priveledged, 90210 and i used to watch general hospital everyday. currently, i'm in my schools musical - west side story as 'clarice' and if i had to tell you anything about her, i couldn't. she doesn't even speak, but she's a main dancer. it doesn't bother me, i love dancing and singing! there's definetly more to know about me and by the way, i love britney spears and twilight (but mostly just jasper). i'm apart of my schools yearbook staff also and it'll be most of my ranting. being an editor isn't easy. add me, i'm nice and entertaining i swear! |

A fun little meme while I'm waiting for my bedsheets to get out of the drier (because once they go out, then I start playing more of my cute little Warden named Aiike (named for Ike from Fire Emblem).
"Be Pete Wentz" meme:
1. Put your music player on shuffle
2. The first lines of twenty songs = a poem; the first line of the twenty-first song is the title
"From My Boat I Can See Your House"
"Looking down I see what was, a place I lived just because
It doesn't hurt me, do you want to feel how it feels?
It's been nine days eight hours fourty minutes ten seconds since you called
You live inside a dream.. everything taste so sweet as long as it agrees with how you feel
Like to get to know you well
Take me down six underground, the ground beneath your feet
Where the scene begins a little girl is crying.
Comatose, almost.. you've got me dreaming
Satallite in my eyes like a diamond in the sky.
If I had to live my life without you near me,
Please leave all overcoats canes and top hats with the doorman;
Bombs are flying.
The streets turn me inside out,
Under the dog star sail.
All this feels strange and untrue,
Couldn't save you from the stars.
Wake me up,
You come out at night.
Cold winds blow around me and I can't help but think of you,
Your own personal jesus."
All but the fifth line makes sense to me, trufax. |

| This is why I don't watch television |
[Dec. 3rd, 2008|12:43 am] |
I used to watch House religiously. I think I picked it up about half way through its first season, and Billy and I even owned the first two seasons on DVD (but then we gave them away to deserving friends when we moved). But then towards the end of the third season I started to lose interest - more due to other demands on my time than any real fault with the show, though I did think it was getting repetitive.
I completely skipped last season, but this year decided to pick it back up again. I haven't been able to watch it every week (thank you, work), but when I'm home on Tuesday nights I try to catch it.
If the shows continue how they were tonight, I don't think that will happen anymore
( Spoilers for tonight's episode )
I will, however, probably keep watching Law & Order: SVU. I'm not crazy about the new DA, but Mariska Hargitay pwns everyone else on TV right now.
(The "right now" caveat is in there since, technically, Battlestar Galactica isn't on TV, and BSG pwns all. It comes back in January, right? Or has it been delayed again? I know they're putting off showing the Caprica movie, even though it was just announced they've committed to 20 hours of the series, including the 2 hour movie)
This is a rambly, pointless entry. I've been working on invitation crap since 7:30 this evening, and still haven't finished because now I'm out of double-sided tape. I knew I should have picked up more than one roll on Saturday! |

hey my name is rissa, I love a lot of things, but mainly you'll find me obsessing over a few TV shows such as Queer As Folk, Dead Like Me, Degrassi, Drake & Josh, and South Of Nowhere. I also love Bam Margera, and CKY... but not because of eachother. I also love Simple Plan. They've been my favourite band since forever ago, and I've seen them about 20 times now in concert and I travel to Canada to see them often! I love to travel and go to concerts. I also really really like Cobra Starship. And new recent obsession is Hey Monday. I love girls as lead singers in bands, but I don't like Paramore all that much--shhhhhh! Ummm, let's see what else? I love Drake Bell like more than life sometimes. I want to marry him, and I really shouldn't say that, but it's the truth. Hahaha, but no really I shouldn't, I'm actually a lesbian, who just so happens to have the hugest crush on Drake. But uhh anyway, that's all my interest - or well what is important to me. Oh and we can't forget - yes, I am one of those people that is interested in Twilight, and yes I am quite obsessed! ;-) I love to write! I also love to create graphics and animated .gifs! I don't really have any other hobbies unless you consider website design one of them and the fact that I really love to play soccer and I can't because I never have time or the money to join a league. :( I'm just looking for new friends because...it's cool. I love to comment people and I love when people share the same interests as me. If you think I'm cool then I'll always end up thinking you're cool of course. Definitely add me, I'm really looking forward to making new friends for the holiday season and into the new year!! |

[Dec. 2nd, 2008|05:17 pm] |
Do you miss the old days of role-playing, when people worked for story-lines and didn't expect things handed to them on a silver platter?
Do you miss the days when games were about posting threads and logs, not LULZ AIM chats and macros? Or about content and plot, not about popular faces, challenging each other's holds, and who has the best icons?
Do you struggle to find places to advertise when communities like ~rps and ~pbads push your ads off the page within hours?
Do you wish you could find games like that still and don't know where to look for them?
Welcome to Old School RP. This is the ad community you've been missing.

| Sign I might have a small book problem... |
[Dec. 2nd, 2008|02:17 pm] |
I have maxed out the number of books I can request at the library. Turns out you can't have more than 20 on hold at a time. I found this out because last night, after realizing that my hold list was dwindling and in desperate need of some reading material, I started requesting books off of the 2008 BBYA nominees list. It didn't take me long to hit the limit, lol.
In positive news, though, I finally got a copy of What I Saw and How I Lied, which won the National Book Award for young people's literature. This will be the third of the five NBA nominees I've read, so let's see if I agree with the experts' opinions, shall we?
Also, I've been considering starting up a completely separate blog for reviewing books, so I can share that blog with people I don't necessarily want reading about some of my other exploits. Should I cross post my reviews here? |

I have searched
through endless nights,
with the bare moon
as my guiding light
to find someone
of my own kind
Am I doomed to walk my path in solitude?

| Things that still make me go "Whoa... |
[Dec. 2nd, 2008|01:21 am] |
I live in New York City.
Fifth Avenue had the sidewalks blocked off today. Which isn't entirely unusual - it seems like half the time I'm up there there are blockades - either across the streets or along side them - for some event or other.
Turns out the blockades were up this time because Britney Spears is performing out there tomorrow. Now, I don't give a rat's ass about Britney Spears, but it's still kind of cool to me that I live in a place where it's just common knowledge that a pop star will be performing right outside of work on a Tuesday in early December.
I don't work tomorrow, however, so I will not be subject to the Britney pandemonium. Unless she really shows up at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting on Wednesday, when I do work. Apparently last year, building security kicked everyone out of the store before/during the lighting because Christina Aguilera was there and they didn't want anyone (employee or customer) messing up their security.
New York is crazy intense sometimes. But I do still love it here.
Plans for tomorrow: finish assembling the goddamn invitations. I've been meaning to accomplish a lot more of that over the last two days but I keep taking ridiculous naps in the middle of the day. I just need to tape in the border cards, and then start printing out the actual invitation cards. And then actually design the rest of the inserts. I drive myself crazy sometimes. |

( Graphic under cut )
Your Song is a present day RPG that takes place at the fictional Presley School for the Performing Arts in Yonkers, New York, just outside of New York City.
Students must audition for a specialty (dance, music, art, technical theatre, drama) to obtain a coveted spot at this prestigious academy.
All characters in the game are based on famous songs!
Characters are in their junior and senior years of high school, and must be pursuing some career in the arts.
So why don't you tell everybody that this is your song by placing a hold today?
MANY songs are still available, and almost any song will be allowed as long as you can create a character that is in the essence of the original song.

I updated and comment often. I don't like really immature people, or people who TyPe LiK dIs. So if you do, don't add me. I work on the ambulance, and my crew is my second family. I'm addicted to IJ, and fountain ice tea. I work one part time job and one full time job. I'm extremely in love with my boyfriend, who is also my best friend. I rarely drink. I don't do drugs. The only party I've been to all year is my nephews 2nd birthday. I feel naked without my ambulance pager. I own my own charming little house in the country, where I live with my spoiled cat. I'm not as boring as I seem to be... any questions? ask me!

hey, I'm Natasha/Adrea! I'm 19. I live in Carrollton, Georgia, but I'm from Harris County, Georgia (either way, I'm from Georgia). I hate it here. I'm a freshman at the University of West Georgia. I'm currently majoring in undeclared. I love my school, but not my roommate. my car is the best thing ever except for all the problems of old age it has. I want to live in Alaska one day. I live in my own bubble.
I love listening to music (just not the radio ew), and I love to draw (you can see it here). I like watching CSI and Superjail!. at home, I live with three dogs and a cat (outside of, you know, parents :p). all three of my best friends live somewhere else. I have an obsession with rainbows; I like to play video games; and I try to read when I have the time and attention span for it. I support LSU, and I tend to talk about the problems that I end up with. the past year and half has been kinda rough for me.
I don't comment much (usually due to I don't know what to say at the time) but I do read every entry posted. :> |
