How Time Flies

Mood: Tired
Hearing/Watching: Cars drive by the house
Talking to: No one
Thinking: Is it bedtime yet?
Looking Forward to: Next week
Eating/Drinking: nothing


Has it really been nearly a year and a half since I changed the site layout? That's insane. I have been SO busy, I've lost track of time. As you can see, I have a new layout. I'm taking a minimalist approach, but only slightly. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it or not. We'll see if it grows on me. Here it is, 7:45 in the morning, and I'm about to pass out. I've worked on this layout all night. I'm exhausted. It's my day off so I'm probably going to sleep all day. Oh, back to the site. Right now most of my links aren't up, some are probably down, don't expect to be able to fluently navigate it just yet. The program I use to write these updates is also screwing up. I would fix it, but I think I'd do more damage trying to finish it up in this zombie-like, sleep deprived state. With that said, I'm going to pay my insurance and go to bed. Goodnight.

Alright, so I’m sick and tired of wondering and worrying. From now on, whatever happens, happens. I’ve got a lot to do today and it’s only going to get finished if I stick to my guns and work. I’m definitely going to add something to the site, I just can’t say yet. I’ll probably update this as the day goes on.

To-do list for today:

  1. Shower
  2. Contacts
  3. Laundry
  4. Finish picking stuff up
  5. Add to site
  6. Walk
  7. Have Dad put a splitter in for the TV
  8. Fix VCR
  9. Dishes

Things to do Today

Hearing/Watching: All Time Low—Weightless
Talking to: again, no one
Thinking: I can’t see anything without my contacts
Looking Forward to: absolutely nothing
Eating/Drinking: just ate a cupcake

Long story short, Joe has ignored me for over a week. Why? I have no clue, he won’t tell me. I know I haven’t done anything wrong so whatever. I’ve been informed by a source that he’s cheating on me but I can’t even talk to him about it because he’s ignoring me. I think it’s almost over. I never wanted that to happen, but if it does, I know I can make it through it. I have awesome friends that I know will be right here with me every step of the way, even if their ways of cheering me up are all different. <3 Tyler, Lesley, Eli, Tony, Ronnie, and Racheal. You guys are some true friends.

In other news, well I don’t really have any. Here’s my to-do list for the day:

  1. find my speaker cord Found while I was cleaning, not sure where I put it again
  2. clean my room I guess you could call it clean
  3. rearrange Just gotta put my rug down
  4. walk
  5. Wash dishes Sister did it for me
  6. Call Joe and if he actually answers, chew him out Got a hold of Cody, apparently Joe was asleep. Still haven’t heard from him.
  7. make some phone calls (:
  8. shower

Yeah I’m sure I’ll add on to this.

Busy, busy, busy

Mood: hungry and sleepy
Hearing/Watching: Paralyzer—Finger Eleven
Talking to: no one—how lame.
Thinking: My sleeping patterns suck
Looking Forward to: Seeing Joe this weekend (:
Eating/Drinking: nothing, I’m starving!

Well, my summer has been shot to hell. I’m getting a job. McDonald’s, Subway, or Pizza Hut. Someone shoot me. However, on a lighter note I’ll actually have money! I have made an eye color tutorial (click here). It’s fairly basic, but it gets the job done. I’m going to do my best to add a layout sometime today or tomorrow and maybe a few more icons, but it really depends on how busy I am. In two hours I’m going to start cleaning the house from top to bottom. No telling how long it’ll take me. I’m just trying to keep myself busy so I don’t sleep all day. I need to get back on a normal sleeping schedule.
Nothing else to say so here’s a picture of me when I was little xD

So I Lied

Mood: Icky

Talking to: Sam, my roommate
Thinking: No homework tonight??? WHAAAAT?!
Looking Forward to: Getting out of here
Eating/Drinking: just had some chocolate milk

Multiple times. I really miss updating the site. I miss having all sorts of free time to edit it. My computer is literally on the fritz. I will post a picture as soon as I can get it off my phone. Anyway, I am really going to try to at least add something. I spend all my time working on projects for school. For example:

That is almost the size of a door, just slightly shorter. It’s pretty big. Basically we had to draw sections of faces from other people in the class.

The final product:

So yeah. We’re working on another life sized self portrait now. I will post a picture of that once I’m finished with it. I just really with I had more time to spend on graphic design.

In other news, I think I’m switching schools next year. Instead of Brescia University, I’m just going to Western KY University. It’s closer to home, most of my friends are there, and closer to my boyfriend. I’m going to try to finally get my license over the summer, get a job, and try to get an apartment there with him. Maybe then I’ll have graphic design time… maybe. I’ve learned not to make promises.
Anyway, I’m going to go. Maybe try to design something or just color in a coloring book to relieve some stress.

Talking to: No one
Thinking: So much to do
Looking Forward to: Spring Break!!
Eating/Drinking: nothing

School. Need I say more? I have so much to do. I’ve been neglecting my site and graphic design. It’s awful. I really need to learn to prioritize. Therefore, this is going to be a short little note saying that I’m alive, as well as a to-do list.

  1. Research Proposal
  2. Design Project: color wheel
  3. Design Project: whatever the new one is
  4. Read Three Cups of Tea

Hmm.. doesn’t seem like I have that much to do this week… thankfully none of it is due tomorrow so I’m going to spend tonight designing. :) It’s about time.

Oh, and my promise? To update weekly! I WILL post content no matter what. :D
