Well howdy folks! I'm just writing a blog for the heck of it. Not sure what all it's gonna be about but I've not posted in quite a while and just feel like writing something. Things are a little crazy right now. My "monthly" is a month late (lovely ain't it!) and I'm an emotional zombie. I'm either on a high high or a low low. Just got over a low low... now I just wanna relax and vent and cheer myself up.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS THOUGH. I'm finally catching up on sleep (loss of which has probably contributed to making me "late"). I got a new mattress a few days ago and it's been SO great. My old one was getting bad... I tried to save my dad money and tried to salvage it by flipping it and putting a mattress pad over the hard bottom-side, but it didn't work. Apparently they've phased out the mattresses that you can flip - they're all now one-sided pillow-tops. Great, huh? Smart on their part - it means you'll need to buy a new mattress that much sooner instead of just being able to flip it and wear out the other side. But anyway, my loss of sleep due to discomfort and stress is finally being caught up on. It's such a relief... I was barely getting more than four hours of sleep a night for quite a long while there. Now with this thing, I could probably sleep 48 hours straight LOL.

I'm redesigning a few of my pirate sites... as well as considering building a new one (but I'm not going to spill the beans on that just yet). Most of you know that Moonfruit has changed their sitemaker and made their old one (the one I run all my sites on) obsolete (any sites built on the old sitemaker still run on it, but you can't build a new one with it). I've tried the new Sitemaker 4 and don't like it. Not that it's bad, but I'm familiar with the old one, like the uniqueness of the template much better, and don't feel like having to learn the ENTIRE THING all over again. It took me long enough to learn Sitemaker 3. Well to get to the point, I've found that I have a blank test site I'd made a long time ago just sitting there... and it's still on Sitemaker 3!!! I already know what I'd like to do with it, but I'm waiting to hear back from Moonfruit. I'm hoping they can change the URL to what I want it to be (instead of the URL I originally made it for the test site). I've yet to hear from them, but I'm very hopeful! I only just discovered it was there as of last night, and was about jumping for joy.
Please don't visit the pirate sites for a while... not that you'll see much anyway, but I still don't want to spoil anything. Especially Jack's site. I've redone most of it but still have a few pages to go. I'm really excited... the trailer for POTC: AWE really inspired me - I can not WAIT for the movie. I'm also in love with Jack again, thanks to many new pictures and lots of great fanfiction... heh. I might've already mentioned that in a previous post, but oh well. I even redid a few things in my room. I'd had a lot of framed pictures from Band of Brothers on my walls, and not that I didn't LOVE those pictures, I just really needed a change. They'd been there for over two years. I kept up all the signed ones from veterans and a few actors on their side of the room, but I took down the ones that I'd printed. I just needed something different, and did as much as I could without removing anything or changing too much stuff around (all I did was switch out pictures and kept the frames where they were). All-in-all, I replaced 9 pictures with ones of Jack, and moved a couple other ones elsewhere. So things are looking fresh and I'm feeling better about it. Plus I have new material to gawk at before I go to bed.....
A little more news on websites - I'm about to add a new page on D&D, solely for The Face. What is The Face, you ask? Surely you must know this face that Prancing Patrick makes. It's his signature thing. I always take at least one picture of him doing it on just about every vacation we go on, and there's so many of them now that they might as well have their own place on the site. I'm also going to redo his main page a little bit, add some more nicknames, some more stories...that kinda thing.

I took an IQ test online today, and I'm not sure how accurate it is or how much of it was due to the pure chance of me taking a right guess on some of the mathematical questions, but I astonished myself with a score of 142. Of course I'm not complaining!! But...dang, how'd I do that?? I think I'd usually gotten about 129+ on the other ones I'd taken. But the last time I'd taken one was probably one or maybe two years ago. Maybe my brain has advanced since then or something... I certainly don't FEEL that intelligent, LOL! I took the test here. You have to sign up on the site so that your test results are emailed to you, but they haven't sent me any annoying emails or spam whatsoever, so you don't have to worry about that if you're apprehensive of taking it.

Some more good news on something I found last night. Heh, heh, heh... Do you remember the retarded Nasonex bee? I know you do. And you either hate it, love to hate it, or love it simply because it's so retarded. I'm the latter. LOL. I just love that stupid thing. And I'm talking about the original one - the one with the huge, emotional blue eyes, teeth, Antonio Banderas' voice, and EYEBROWS. They've since changed the bee to one that's more smooth and "normal" looking (Mr. Hot-Shot Replacement Bee), and I loathe them for it. I even wrote to the company, and a very nice woman responded to me, thanked me for my opinion, and even mailed me a pad of paper with the old bee on it, as well as a little plush bee finger puppet. Ha!! I even quote the stupid bee all the time when I'm talking on YahooIM, especially when it's Nancy or Heather. If I'm gone for a while, I come back and say, "I have returned, my flower.....a changed bee." I'm retarded, I know. Anyway, I had been searching online for a video of the old commercial for a very long time. And last night, I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! GOD BE PRAISED!!! AMEN, SISTAHS!!! And the Lord did grin, and... nevermind. But yes, I found it. I saved it from the site it was on and uploaded it to YouTube. And so, I give you, the original Nasonex Bee. Watch how DORKY he is.
.............well, I just kept trying to paste the video code in here, but for some reason it's not showing up. I'm probably doing something wrong. Oh well, here's the link to watch it then.

That's all for now. I'll post about any website updates as they come. The next post will likely be about The Face's page - it might even be tonight. Oh and, I'm on a higher high once again :D
