Sometimes I forget to update WILT before I go to bed, so when I think about it the next day, I wonder 'do I want to keep trudging on?'

well I think it's become too much of a habit to give up too soon xD It's nice to think back over a day and realize just how much information I am expected to absorb in a day.

Anyways, that was just an excuse to plug it if some of you have forgotten or never saw it before :)

I had another France dream this morning, except Mrs. Cioppa was there. We walked up a staircase with famous quotes by french people on it, and I was reading them and exclaimed 'oh wow, I totally know what all these mean now!'

More interesting though, was the first part of the dream.

I dreamed I went on a trip with a lot of young people my age. We stopped at a place that looked like my elementary playground (that's been showing up in dreams a lot lately too). But this had a large tract of sodden sand. I walked over it pretty easily in my flipflops, but there were 50 girls wearing high heels with us, and after they walked over, the sand was filled with these cute little holes that the heels made.

I made an awesome 3d model today. I guess it's not really that awesome, but it's a lot more awesome than my wedge.

I also borked my tablet in a new way. Well, not today, but I discovered it today. Apparently when I had rocked my chair onto the cord, it'd actually rocked onto the plug, so when I tried to plug it in,hmmmmmmmmmmmm didn't fit! UGH. Mike and Stu managed to pound it back into shape enough that it can be jammed into a port and used. Ugh. I sent an e-mail to wacom to see if they would be generous to fix it (and the cord) for me.

Anyways, my teacup pot.


I initially wanted to do a teapot, then forgot about the lid and started drawing a handle, then decided to make it a spout instead, then still forgot about the lid. so it's kinda weird. The other thing is just a random object xD

It's never totally pleasant to be without stu, but as foa so kindly informed me, I'll live.

Things I've done in the last week:
Got a B in Calculus (hoes yeses, dont have a clue how that happened, but am pleased about it nonetheless)
Got As in everything else
Opened some christmas presents with stu (I got superbad and the x-files season1 and he got some houseshoes to warm his feet)
Watched the first six eps of x-files (it is sooooooooooooooo good)
Found and decorated a christmas tree (it is pretty good looking this year!)
Stayed up until 6 making a new layout for http://www.snowy-day.net/
Stayed up until 5 watching Lord of the Rings with stu (fellowship), and then again until 1 watching the rest (ttt, rotk)
Enjoyed the lord of the rings movies! Want to reread the books now!
Forgot to return my library books to fayetteville. Will have twelve days * 3 books of latefees. Ho wellz.
Continued reading Interview with the Vampire
drank a lot of tea yesterday when I was majorly sick feeling.
had a birthday party and ate a bunch of brownies
probably not bathed as much as I should have
played a ton with my dog
continued my search for kindred spirits

and very little else. Seriously, I'm pretty stoked about the website thing. I got the whole layout pretty much done in five hours; two hours to visualize and implement the design, three hours to get my doll database working properly. Then the next day it was another two or three hours to figure out how to make it be able to sort in fancy ways, and then since then I have been applying styles and cosmetic HTML changes, and recoding the whole pictures section (I was about to fall asleep yesterday when I was sick, so I sorted my pictures/ folder into several subfolders. In the process, I discovered a bunch of pictures that are missing, and wish I could explain them. I also discovered that cyberduck uploads pictures with the same file permissions and file modified date as they have on my system. Very disorienting to discover files from 2004 when I expect them all to have the created date of june 27th, which was when I moved onto this webserver. Ho wellz.)

I also keep trying to doll, but nothing comes of it. It's kinda depressing. I want to make something! All I can do is write for the time being.

My one and only big brother Cory Tyler is getting married tomorrow! My mom is excited xD

Also hey, if you guys didn't do this johari thing (picking attributes that fit me) the last time I did it like, two years ago now maybe? Do it now!

http://kevan.org/johari?name=jume

I dolled myself as miss scarlett xD From Clue!



It was kinda funny, I opened ws ftp like I always do to upload a doll, then I stopped and thought 'heyyyyyyyyy wait, I have the dollanator thing all finished now, let's TEST IT OUT!'

So I used my form for the first time the way it was intended :)

Of course I added a field to the myql table and didn't reflect that in the form (I love phpmyadmin) so I'll have to add that later, but man!

(I have been having to make up all kinds of sql snippits to work with this database thing, and I don't have a book or anything and the documentation on the web is pretty. . well, unintuitive if you don't know what you're doing (if they'd make that better they'd have more people being web programmers and stuff! php is similarly a FIEND to get a hold on early on! well I guess it might not be if you had patience to do dumb tutorials instead of coming up with what to do yourself and trying to reverse engineer a way to do it, but hey I'm getting some of this stuff down.) ANYWAYS, I've been saving up the snippits in a text file so I won't have to relearn them every single time I want to order the rows in the table xD)

( How many of you will actually ever need these? I dunno, but you never know! )

I've been listening to radio-fr again, and I really enjoy it.

lol, hosting ran out with hostexcellence yesterday, but the files are still there today. But no ftp access xD

So when I realized I hadn't uploaded all my photos to the new server, I took a moment to download the flashgot extension and also get right. I used to have getright when I had dialup, but hadn't redownloaded it since then, but man, I don't remember it being this yucky to use. oh well, it did what I wanted to, so the files are all peacefully uploading.

(aeromines.net still points to the files on host excellence, where snowy-day points to the ones on asmallorange, so that's how I can tell)

I don't really have any use for aeromines.net so I guess I'll just let it die. I just had a free domain registration when I signed up with hostexcellence that I used. Did you guys even know it existed? It lead a very quiet life. I mostly registered it so that subdomains would work on snowy-day.

did you guys know that I have rubah.net registered also? It doesn't do much, but you can upload a picture there if you want.

I mainly just wanted to post about how silly it was to have removed my ftp access but kept my files. I've never really looked back from changing hosts before. I kinda hope I won't ever need to again.

I should make some new lj icons. I mean I think I have room for a couple more. I just don't have any images I really am in love with atm.

So things I have been doing lately:

Actually first I'll post the answers to moviememe

Anyways, recent events:

I am in the school play (first time eva eva!). Because the new drama directress couldn't get ahold of the real script of Arsenic and Old Lace we're doing a knock-off version called Larceny and Old Lace which is about as hilarious as I remember the original being. Well, it would be if many of our actors weren't the ones that made you wonder if they should have been in special ed :( And I am not joking or anything here. but regardless. This is practice like after school every day on weeks.

Except not tomorrow! nor wednesday! mrs. stroud can't stay after tomorrow to direct us, which is good because I have BOOK REPORT OF DOOM due on Thursday. Mrs. Hooper swears it is not a book report, but I know better(I've never actually done a book report in my life but i know she's right. This is AP stuff). Anyways, it requires a bunch of time, and some how, I had no time tonight. I guess what with getting home late from school, realizing it was 6 and I hadn't even finished surfing LJ friends (I still haven't actually) and then going on a bike ride with dad and talking to stu my evening slipped away and I cant start on anything homework after 9 because in my heart I know I should be going to bed then but I don't.

Anyways we have to pick a book (I picked A Lesson Before Dying by Faulkner and despite having to read it twice to understand, really liked it), write a page of introduction about the book and mechanical stuff (wtp this is the hard part, I skipped it), a page on style analysis, a page dissecting a "scholarly criticism", a page on the theme, and probably something else. We've had a month so far to do it! I wrote my first paragraph today! (and as of yet, that's all I've written). However two hours of studyhall tomorrow and wednesday should help out a lot. (I know a girl that is just skipping school all day wednesday to work on it because she works until 11 the other nights)

So yeah what time I squander not doing that I waste thinking about how I need to be doing it (like right now!)

I really need to improve my study habits before college. I'm gonna die man.

Friday is leaving for stuland for his Prom. Monday is getting back. Friday is cinco de mayo celebrations in Spanish class, and then leaving on the band trip to hot springs, AR. Saturday is 'woohoo amusement park I've never been to but everyone else has!' and also a concert contest (our excuse for going!). Sunday is the quiet and solemn drive home. (also probably tired). the last band trip we went on was overnight, but this is over two nights! (albeit not out of state :()

The week after that is the last week of classes. Senior semester tests(probably only taking math and spanish(although that may not count as a test grade, but maybe I'll ask for it to since I've missed so much classtime xD), AP English test is one of those days.

WEEKEND OF REST. A 'yay people graduated' dinner at church on the 13th.

Then tuesday. the 15th. 2007.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And man, after that I really don't know what I"ll do with myself.

(note to self, need to finish sending out graduation invitations. like. uh NOW)

---

then there's stuff I'm doing that isn't even school related. Like trying to reupload all of my dolls with as correct as possible links in as correct an order as possible into a mysql database so I can restructure the doll section to be more dynamic (I plan on doing this to the photos section too, but without needing to research base links, that ought to go much faster) I don't know if you all realize, but I have dolled somewhere around 400 dolls in the last five years. That's a bunch GOSH!

Then there's the fact that I keep joining these dolling forums hoping to find one that is hopping (and not eden enchanted, although the last time I went there it was a saturday and they allowed us po' folk posting access! marvelous! except no one cares enough to comment! Disgusting :'()

I see myself as a kind of web saviour (why does savior look weird?) to these places, or rather a missionary. They don't understand about PNG very much, they've heard its name before though. Some of them use firefox, but there are many souls that need to be turned. And all their websites use either iframes or tables.

I have my work cut out for me!

Somehow I made $0.01 on adsense today with 0 clicks.

What? I don't get it either.

For the love of the Lord Almighty, Read this, webdesigners

(it just happened to come up as a 'helpful hint' as I validated what seems like has been a million webpages. And the most serious error so far has been either not including alt text on images, not self closing an img/br tag, or not closing an anchor or paragraph. I think that speaks for something!

we are learning about quantum theory in chem; it makes most people in the class start to nod off or cry "I dont' understand!" but I like it. It's the basics, I suppose, listing the parts of the quantum numbers, and then a good deal of the time discussing the orbitals, how many of them there are, how many are in them, and what hsapes they are.

Our books were pansies and refrained from giving diagrams or even the notation things for the f-orbitals. Mr. Johnston showed a book that did have them, and I tried to photograph the page in my mind so I could have them, since he swept it in front of us rather fast. I'm looking forward to this section.

Hmm, Mr. Wagner showed us a powerpoint that he had bought as a set (for $40) that was what we had already learned more or less, and he talked about how national banks were done away with after the Second National Bank, and I mentioned the "First National Bank" and everyone laughed while I rectified that with "Or is that just a name" They laughed quite a bit. They don't take him seriously at all.

I'm tired of typing. Hurrah for staff evaluation. That's been all I've done today, is read those. man.
( I swear )

Best news I've had in a long time:
