Well, we didn’t go to the hearing. Turns out either we weren’t supposed to or didn’t have to. *rubs her face* I don’t know anymore… I really don’t. So I’m just going to concentrate on school and not try to think about anything. Hopefully God will come through and let us stay here until we can fulfill our promises. My head just hurts trying to go over everything that’s happened in regards to this park.

So, I spent all day yesterday and today working on a quick 4th of July layout.

The title, Magnalium, is a fireworks term. It’s the most common chemical mixture used in modern fireworks (Aluminum + magnesium for those interested) and makes their colors more vibrant.

Since I really didn’t like my original floral layout, I used the same technique I used there to blend five different photos together into one unit. (A cookie to anyone who can find all five. ^_~) I made those damned stars by hand, since I couldn’t find anything I really liked to make them for me.

I’m going to start offering my sets for download once I’m done with them (Poison Paradise is already available), so my actual blog title is on a separate graphic. That way I can delete all mention of “Stone Circles” when I go to distribute it.

The textbooks haven’t arrived yet, so we’re sweating it out. The classes they’re starting us out on look like they’re going to be tough. We already have homework due on Saturday, which needs at least one of the books. -_-;; I’m really tempted to go back to Amazon.com and see if I can’t order another copy of my textbook and place it on express. Otherwise, I’m going to have to bluff my way through my homework. (That should be fun…)

I’ve done as much promotion as I can for now on my website. I’m partially hoping they’ll give me HTML programming next semester so I can MAYBE learn how to write PHP. I’d like to customize and consolodate the archives into three coheasive units, instead of having to watch and maintain the library, gallery, and oekaki separately. But, the promotion has been working. This month I’m up to 2500+ unique visitors and a gig of bandwidth. I’m probably going to have Jass get his own Photobucket account, so we can stop using our bandwidth for our LJs and forums.

Anyway, with promotion for Lunaescence as complete as I’m going to take it for now, I’ve moved on to promoting Arise. It’s hard, though. What do you say about it? What do you put when a directory wants a short description and then a long promo? For my domain, I just peek at my source, cut, and paste my site’s decription into the short one. Then, I just go into the site in depth for the large. So, I dumped Arise in a few directories and called it good until it gets going again.

Eviction post: *hugs* Theresa, Derrian, Trelithe, Kim, Hillary, Bevey, and Ook. Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, and hugs.

Writing Randomness: Why do you always get the best story ideas at 3am, have it all written out in your head, but by the next morning — you can’t remember a damn thing? XD I had this whole short story about some post college guy going to Las Vegas for a job interview and by this morning I’d forgotten everything. I really need a handheld “tape” recorder. lol

On Kids: I’ve decided I want to be a mom. I want to be a mom bad. Yet I really have no plans of ever getting married. Hell, I’ve slid back into an almost child-like “boys are icky” stage again. Pathetic, huh?

Diabetes: I’m feeling weird again. I’ve only gone hypoglycemic three times today, so I have a feeling I’m crusing for another. Of course, I could just be tired. Hypoglycemia does that to me.

Website Promotion: Have you ever felt just plain dirty when you haven’t done anything TO feel that way? I’ve been promoting my domain today and a couple sites I wanted to put my link on required me to put up advertising reciprocal links. Now I feel all dirty. lol

Anime: There’s some new samurai anime on Adult Swim. I haven’t had the energy to find out which one it is. Just wish they’d stop censoring the swearing. That record scratch is annoying.

Randomness: I really feel like making some kind of dessert using rum. Rums good. Very good. Too bad there’s none in the house. Then again, that’s probably good.

Website Promotion II: I summed up my promotion thoughts on Arise today in a tutorial. I’m still trying to promote the boards, but forums are a royal bitch to promote. I really don’t know how to write down what I really want to say, so I guess I’ll play the part of the bitch and just say it. During their infancy, forums NEED an established, successful website in order to be successful themselves. With RW.com long dead, it’s no wonder we’re having trouble attracting people.

Anime #2: Watching some anime on cable, not sure which… I wonder if they ever get motion sickness the way they… I dunno - bounce? - when they run. Making me dizzy just watching it.

Blah, my randomness is nowhere near as amusing as Kim’s randomness. ^_^;; Kim, you’re my hero! Y’know that? Alrighty, I’m going to bed now. Maybe I might remember that story.

*glomps*
