Ugh. The new template I was working on is completely screwed up. :x I don’t think that I’m ever going to get the handle of this crap. I’ve considered overhauling this entire site with a new blogging script, but I’ve already spent so much time trying to understand this Wordpress stuff. I don’t want it all to have been a waste. The stupid validation services say that my coding is valid, but nothing shows up correctly. It’s just… so annoying. I get so frustrated, sometimes I think I’m going to pull out what little hair I have. Hopefully I’ll be able to make myself a new theme… otherwise I’m going to have to switch to something pre-made, and I hate that. :?

Good news is though… I was approved to own the Black Bird fanlisting. I’m really excited about this, considering this is my favourite manga right now. I’ve already got the layout and some of the content made, and now I’m just waiting for the permission to use some things and I’ll have that up and running. I haven’t owned any fanlistings in a long, long time, so we’ll see how I do. I’m pretty happy that I was approved for this. Black Bird is a beautiful story, so for anyone who loves a good romance with demons and such, check it out. Also, I have finally opened up the Filth clique, so if you’re a fan of Dani Filth or Cradle of Filth, please join. It’s in dire need of members.

I’m in dire need of some caffeine. If it weren’t so late (or early – I guess) I would grind up some beans and indulge in a pot, but Sarah is sleeping and I don’t want to wake her. Considering she’s got school and whatnot. I think I might have already woken her up already once though, when I let Tamara in. Ooooops. LOL.

Lots of drama going on around the house… which is a constant headache. My darling baby girl, Elizabeth Bathory, ran away. Brian, being the super intelligent wad of douchebag that he is, left the basement door open and she escaped. That was three days ago. She hasn’t returned home yet, and we’ve been routinely scouring the neighbourhood for her… but at this point, my hope is faltering. There’s also some other things going on, but I’m thinking that if I feel like talking about that, I’ll make the entry password protected. Who knows.

A large barrel of gratitude to Angelica, Nicki and Kristi for their comments on my previous post. It made me feel much better, so thank you.

To cheer myself up, I bought some new nail polish and did my nails:

I figured I’d have fun with Hallowe’en colours. Next time I might try black and white… who knows. LOL. Click image for larger version.

Things are still rather unpleasant around my humble abode. I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing anymore, so I’ve just been keeping to myself. Soon after I posted my poem on Facebook, Vanessa messaged me on MSN saying that she never told me that she didn’t want to talk. Which… made me seethe a bit inside, because that’s exactly what she said. She then went on to say that she missed me, but she was confused about everything that went on/is going on now and she didn’t know what to do. I said my piece, and since that conversation, she hasn’t spoken to me again. So I’m going to assume that things are back to the way they were previously. I’m not going to shed any tears about it though, because I’m trying to look on the brights ide of things… as dank and dark as they may be.

I passed my first stage of interviews at Walmart, so I’m pretty excited about that. My second interview is on the 26th, and hopefully that will be the last round. Hopefully I get this job, because if I do, it means a full time night crew spot, with benefits. If I get benefits, I’ll be able to get new glasses and my cavities filled. Which… will be a super bonus because my teeth are starting to really ache. I just… really hope that this works out. Working more means getting out and exercising more, which means I’ll start losing weight faster. It also means that I’ll actually be getting out of the house. As much as I’ll miss sitting around and sleeping in as late as I like… I prefer having structure in my life.

Also, I’m going to be going to the Slipknot concert in Vancouver with my friend Adam in the beginning of October. I haven’t seen him in three years, so it’s going to be… certainly different. It will also be the second time I’ve seen Slipknot (I saw them on the Subliminal Verses tour for my 17th birthday, with Unearth and Killswitch Engage), which is awesome… they certainly do give you your moneys worth.

I’m working on a new template… I’m having some CSS issues, but hopefully I’ll be able to work those out later on. I’m going to try and run it through a validator and see if that helps. I’m also going to try and get some content going on… updated information for this and that. Hopefully. LOL.
