so i’m working on finishing up this layout.. its very basic since i can’t really do any image work on the laptop. i’m kinda liking the colour scheme i have here though.. its very cherry vanilla coke..
anyway, i am trying to do a major makeover on my blog so you might notice content missing or stuff out of wack. just bare with me. it’ll be prettier soon.

i know i know.. i’ve been out of the blogging loop for a while now but i’m going to make some changes around here. go go bullet list!

• first of all i’m going to get a new blog layout, or make one maybe.. haven’t decided yet.
• i’m going to start blogging pay per post ads.. yes i know i said i wouldn’t advertise on my blog, and i am sure some of you guys are going to lynch me for it, but times are really tough and i still have not found a job, and i need the money, so this looks like my only option for cash at the moment.
• work on my writing. i used to write all the damn time on my blog and i got really lazy with that here recently. partly because i just didn’t know what to write about. i’m going to try and take the time to write on my blog more and talk about my life, no matter how boring it is.

so if anyone still reads this, i hope you will enjoy the changes to come, and i hope you will forgive the advertisement posts.

i wanted to share this with you guys because i thought it was a pretty cool way to help charities if you don’t have the money to donate! using the website socialvibe you can join up, add your badges to your myspace, facebook, other social networking site, or even your blog, and every time people look at your site you get points, and those points go to help out the cause you’ve chosen.

i chose to write love on her arms because it helps teens and young adults who are facing depression or self injury and i think its a wonderful cause to help, but there are MANY to choose from.

so if you’re interested check it out! and feel free to friend me, i’m nimil on there, as i am everywhere

*disclaimer: yes i will recieve points if you join via the link above but i am writing this blog to tell you about this site because i think its awesome.

someone somewhere has marked my comments on their blog as spam using akismet, which means that now, akismet thinks i am comment spam and sends my comments to the spam queue. so if you are from despair and you havne’t recieved comments from me, please check your queue to see if i ended up there…

does anyone know how i can go about fixing this? it’s really crap to be marked as spam when you’re definitely not! not to mention on my own blog when i reply to someone’s comments my comment gets sent to my own spam queue!

ok now that i’m done complaining i figure i’ll give a little update on the WoW adventures with lucas. we’re at level 27 now! going pretty quick since we’re constantly in a group… not to mention this server is a little more high rate than the regular WoW so we get more experience per quest and stuff like that. its been fun so far. i’ve never really played enough of the blood elf side to see what it’s like but so far we’ve done some really cool quests and i love the scourge areas… so pretty!

being dragged off to do more of that! *poofs*

i’ve been fighting with poser pro for a while now, trying to get it to work on my desktop. i don’t know what happened but for the longest time i was unable to open the program! it would just go to the splash screen and then poof, gone… which made it impossible for me to work on art and made me a very grumpy nimil.

however yesterday, for the 5th time, i reinstalled poser and BAM! it worked… i could have danced a jig of glee.

after doing the happy dance in my chair i created this little picture to remind myself how poser works.. its been a month or so since i’ve gotten to play with it so i was a tiny bit rusty XD

so cute! little alien pinup girl *squees* anyway.. yay i can make stuff again.

i went to despair last night and my account still worked, so i logged in and i made myself active again. everything seems to be in order now.. i got my first comment email last night and did my commenting quickly there after. yay… getting back into old habits

watched the death note 2 movie last night with lucas, i love that whole series and he’s never seen it so i’m making him now thankfully he likes that stuff so its not really forcing him.

i suck as a blogger. hah. i don’t know what’s happened… i used to be so hooked on blogging and making websites and all that stuff… now a days i look at my blog and just go.. bleh…

so i figure it has to do with the fact that nothing is going on in my life, and i have always been a life blogger as opposed to a news blogger or a gossip blogger. i suppose that’s the pitfall when you blog about your life. if there’s nothing going on, then you really have nothing to blog about.

i do twitter and plurk often but that’s because it’s micro-blogging and i have so little to say it’s easier to spam those sites with small thoughts than to write a blog every time i have a tiny bit to say. perhaps i should round up all of those thoughts and actually write something every now and then.

recently my life has been pretty dull, as i’ve said before… there’s not much going on. i live with my parents and i’m still trying to find a job. i never realized how hard it would be to get a job down here. it’s really sad. i’m glad i have a roof over my head though.

i’ve found myself being very uninspired to do anything, and that’s something i need to get away from. i’m seeing some improvement in my weight finally, and that has encouraged me to get off my ass a bit more. i’m hoping once i do get a job i will be able to snap out of this lull and into being a person again. i don’t care much for being a lump but i just feel so unmotivated.

walmart is my main target of job interest. i’ve worked there before and i left on good terms so i hope that i can get a job there again. several people that i worked with last time still work there so that’s a plus they all liked me the first time around.

the crazy thing about the walmart deal though, my application would not go though! 3 times i showed up to the kiosk (i don’t trust the online web applications and have been told that they do not look at those) and tried to send in an application and 3 times i was thwarted, being told that i had previous data and needed my pin. i tried every pin combo i could think of and finally someone from HR showed up and fixed it for me. i’m not sure what happened but i think the computer merged my social security number with another person’s application because when i went to update mine it had someone else’s name on it! we got it all straight though and i hope they will be giving me a call back. this is about the time i started working there last time and it’s right when school starts so they should be needing people!

i have some second life junk to attend to now so off i go.

well wednesday my family smushed into a car and drove up to woodstock VA for a day to see my dad’s best friend wayne who i have always called ‘uncle wayne’. i had a really great time which is rare for me these days as i’ve been rather depressed about crap.

anyway, our drive up to woodstock was pretty uneventful, we got lunch and once we got into the more northern part of VA we finally reached a 7eleven

and i got a slurpee…

oh god it has been so long since i have had one of those.. it was bliss! total bliss! we then finally made it to woodstock and stopped to call wayne, who happened to be right down the road from the gasstation we stopped at, so he escorted us to his house.

i hadn’t seen wayne since my highschool graduation in 2001 so i was very happy to see him again and accepted my bearhug with open arms. after having my internal organs crushed into jello we sat and chatted for a while on his back porch

while listening to kpig (a radio station in california) and watching his 2 awesome parrotts cookie and elvis climb around the cage.

i also got to meet frankie, wayne’s son, who the last time i saw, was a small baby. he’s 10 now and is already almost as tall as his dad (his dad is over 7ft tall!)

sadly our trip turned sad when someone called wayne to tell him that an old friend of his killed himself and was just found… it was pretty heart breaking and the rest of our time there was spent hugging wayne and wishing him well… we then departed and made the trip back home.

i hope that we can go again soon, i really like it up there.

i don’t have much else to blog about, still looking for a job, money is running thin, but thankfully my parents are being understanding now. but i hope that i can get a job because i really want to be out from under their thumb.

for now i think i am going to do some maintanance on this blog pretty soon and try to spruce it up a bit.

with some bribery i was able to talk my parents into giving me the tiny bedroom. i can bearly fit my stuff in it but at least it is a place to sleep where i can have a door and a bed.

we had some trouble with the wireless connection. took us 3 routers to get the damn thing figured out, then after i thought it was all good it turns out my dad’s pacemaker was interfering with the signal! so i switched router channels and now the thing works properly as it should. i hate wireless though as it is annoying and gets pissy when it storms but it is better than nothing so i’m dealing with it lol

still trying to get stuff together. job applications are out there, just waiting for a call back. still unpacking cause i’m lazy… once i unpacked the computer stuff i just left the rest of the boxes stacked up on eachother lol… need to finish unpacking them *shakes fist*

i’m thinking of making a new wordpress theme, and trying to make it more wp 2.0 because this design is based on my 1.5 blog and i’m sure it’s got some junk that is no longer compatible.

i’ve also been working on my 3d art alot lately, and have started thinking about submitting it for sale as prints and what not… that’ll happen after i have a pay pal account, which of course will happen after i get a job.

so that’s all. just wanted to write so people knew i was still alive…

i cannot figure out this stupid blog roll coding!!!!! the depreciated the code i use to seperate my links into categories on my links page and now it won’t seperate. and if i use the new code that they replaced my code with, it doesn’t show up! *bashes head into laptop* this is driving me nuts!

i’m really bored and my sleep schedual is all out of whack. bobbie is at her mum’s recovering from her minor surgery. she should be home today i think, if not tomorrow. and that would be great cause i’m all out of food and need to hit the store.

i’ve been playing the sims 2 again. i’d stopped playing it because my main computer is so slow even with all the ram and graphics card… but i installed it on my laptop and BAM it’s working beautifully. i got the whole set of expansion packs except for free time and the stuff packs. i’ll be getting those soon. and of course i have my fuck ton of downloaded content whee… now i just need to remember that the sims 2 camera controls are not the same as second life’s controls and i’ll be fine…lol

if anyone would like to help me figure out my links page hell please send me a comment.

FINALLY got some help on the links page situation, they are now all nicely seperated again, and the sidebar random links are back as well

that is the only appropriate title i could come up with for today.

my day started great, woke up to lucas calling me, wishing me a good morning, and then making kissy noises for like.. 30 minutes at me. *sigh* love him…

then i get here, and it’s back to back calls again. AND they decided to put an xm corporate person on a y-jack with me. which means she was plugged into a splitter that let her hear what i was doing on my calls. made me very nervous. she also doesn’t understand the idea of personal space, because she was right up on me so close she was kicking me when she would cross her legs 8(

also when i go to check blogs i find that jenn’s blog is having troubles, AND elyse’s blog seems to have been turned into a spam site ?!?!?! WHERE IS MY ELYSE!!!???!?!??!!

anyway so i’m pretty stressed out bleh. and it’s still back to back calls so i have to go and take some now 8(
