i heart change. and berries.

it’s ok. get angry. i KNOW, you LOVED the bicycle with the daisies. go ahead. scream it out.

:: ho. hum. whistle. whistle. ::

there? better now? great.

now we can all move on and appreciate the new pretty berries on the top of my blog. because let’s be honest, they are SO pretty!

and i appreciate good design too much to just let my site sit in a state of unrest while i spend my hours trying to find a way to make it better, which is what i was doing while the daisies were up.

and if you don’t like this one, well, I’d rather you just not tell me.

i mean, every time someone makes even one slight against my theme choice, the comment lingers in my stupid brain FOREVER until i find a way to either fix it, or change it.

and i’d just rather not deal with that kind of stress right now. ok?

already, this obsession has led me to become somewhat brazen lately as i fiddle with the html code of the theme. I know, risky right? one false move and BAM!, my whole site could come crashing down around me.

but seeing as how im pickier than a five year old harboring a fascination of buggers, i can’t just sit back and fantasize about how much cooler my blog COULD be if only I made a few small tweaks.

so i’ve been winging it and altering things such as the search tab (which originally was over the picture on top) and the width of things.

but it’s after mid-night, and i haven’t slept much the last couple days, so I need to slowly pull myself away from the laptop and get some freaking sleep.

I’ll probably play with it some more tomorrow though, so don’t get all comfy with the way it is now.

dream sweet.

Feel free to scan though for the more interesting questions

I’m stressed, and tired and mad about things I’d rather not write about here. So instead, I pulled this survey from some random online site and decided to fill it out for your weekend reading pleasure. Just take it and be happy you have original content to read on a Saturday night while you watch March Madness.

Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?

Hmm. I didn’t realize that was a possible solution to the problems I’ve had with my Paula Abdul CD. But now that I know.

Not so much. But there were like 500 kids in my senior class, so even though I wasn’t homecoming queen or anything, I wasn’t unpopular either.

Have you ever been on a blind date?

Does online dating count? Yes? Well then yes.

I like for the guy to be a minimum of two inches taller than me, but beyond that, I’m usually good.

Ave Maria, Amazing Grace and something upbeat, like “I like big butts and I cannot lie” just to make sure things don’t get too sad.

Yes. I’m not. But yes, I would. I don’t think they’d care.

Beatles. Yellow submarine anyone?

What are your plans for the future?

I used to have plans, but then my industry got cancer and started dying, so now I’m just winging it.

I usually opt for at least some undergarments and a t-shirt.

A dog.

chit. chat.

ya. ya. i changed the design here. i was never 100 percent happy with the black and pink because i felt like it was suffocating my blog. the dark wood on the edges closed everything in too much.

also, i’ve been really wanting an interactive twitter feed on the side so people could just click “follow” and Viola! they’d be able to follow me. but even the narrowest twitter widget didn’t fit on the old site, so i HAD to change the design.

i know you guys hate change. so i am sorry. but i promise to commit to this for at least six months. three months. a week.

moving on.

yes, yes, I’m still vegan. it’s been 13 days. and today my roommate wanted ice cream and i was all OHH! OHH! maybe dairy queen has fruit smoothies made with just fruit!! Let’s call to ask.

so she called to ask, and was all: yes, do you guys have anything without dairy in it?

well, we have nachos and i’m pretty sure the cheese doesn’t have dairy in it.

a. yes. yes it does. and b. if it doesn’t, they probably shouldn’t call it cheese.

accepting defeating, we instead went to culver’s, where i could get a lemon cooler. except, apparently they don’t start selling those until summer. i asked, ‘when specifically do you start selling them?’ and was told “umm, when we order them.”

i figure i’ll give them till April 1.

in other news, i kind of met my hero today. and by kind of, i mean i did.

her name is heather b. armstrong. and her blog is dooce.

i got to interview her for 40 minutes for a story im working on for my day job.

yes. she’s awesomer than life itself in person. yes. she’s super nice. and yes, i would like to be her when i grow up.

after the article runs sometime within the next few weeks, i will link to it.

and then we will all smile with glee.

true story.
