OH MY GOD AWESOME
I've been building a website for Knitzy - tattoo/art/piercing stuff. I've got the layout of the site done, and I've been working on getting the image gallery to work. It's been trying. There are dozens of tutorials out there on how to create kickin' XML/Flash galleries, but not so many of them actually TEACH. It's very important for me to learn what I'm doing rather than just copying and pasting code. What's the point in that?
So, after a trying couple of days with this thing, and making friends with random gurus on nerd forums 'round the net, I've got most of the gallery problems hammered out. In fact, I've figured out the biggest problem, which is a relief. I feel like a gigantic nerd because, after I tested it and found it working, I pumped my arms in the air and celebrated for a couple of minutes.
Ahhhh, good stuff. Now, to figure out how to line images from an XML document up in a grid pattern in my gallery.
I also got my site up and running recently (Phenix Designs), but that was easier and much less flashy.
And, I got an excellent tattoo from Knitzy. It's my Against Me!/I love my friends tattoo. Artwork adapted (by her) from Against Me!'s Crime EP, and the words in the banner are from an old song of theirs.
More hours in front of the computer and poor eating habits, here I come!
we need to follow our hearts and dreams, not letting our lives be simply conditioned by magazines.
so many beautiful people let themselves feel unfulfilled if they don't fit some pre-conceived notion of beauty. if you let your heart tell you who you need to be, you'll find a beautiful person in the mirror everyday.
and no magazine can ever give you that. so take those expectations and throw them in the back. and live life as your wish, stepping away from all of this.

i'm sorry. i'm happy, most of the time. it just takes alot to hold it in. i don't have that many people i can talk to nowadays, you know? i always feel like i sound like a complete asshole/whiner. we'll keep working on stuff and it'll get better. Oh, and I say that I'm not interested in any boys because i'm not. Telling me that I am just serves to frustrate me and piss me off. I'll let you know when I am. This is harder to get over than anything I've encountered. Bear with me.
