I’m officially 24, and although it doesn’t feel any different than 23 I had a nice birthday :)! I came home on Thursday after class and I am headed back to Tallahassee tomorrow afternoon since I have classes again on Tuesday. I spent my birthday with family and had a yummy dinner and cake. My mom put 24 candles on my cake and when I blew them out I expected the fire alarm to go off, haha. There was so much smoke, but my now 15 month old nephew thought it was funny Although, my birthday started out with a bang … literally.

Saturday night my mother and I watched my nephew so my sister could go out for her friend’s 30th birthday since her hubbie had to work. While driving back to the house with my mother several cop cars went speeding by (we assumed to an accident), about 3 cars later another police car went speeding by. The van that was in front of us for some reason decided to get into the left lane where the cop was speeding to and then realized their stupidty and was coming back into our lane, so naturally my mother slowed down for them and the cop. The car behind us didn’t stop and hit us. Thankfully the guy that hit us was not going fast so we were not injured (nor was he) and both vechiles were fine. It was more of a shock! After we checked the damage of the car and the guy apologized about a dozen times we got back in the car and it was offically the 17th and my birthday

Thank you for the lovely tweets, facebook messages/wall posts, xbox messages, text messages, and of course the lovely Snark thread wishing me a happy birthday I had a great day! Also thank you for the lovely comments on the new blog and layout! I’ve already begun working on a new one (I guess me taking so long to code this one made me sick of it haha) and I am hoping to have the illustrations complete over the new week and then coded the following week

HAPPY NEW YEAR <3! I can’t believe it’s 2010 already, nor can I believe I am FINALLY opening the new site! I registered this domain back in May (yeah a while back :x) and was finally motivated over the last week to finish it and decided that opening it on the new year would be nice I’ve edited some pages and added some new stuff as well with the move so everything should be in working order. The only thing I am having problems with is the 404 page and the contact page at the moment, but hopefully I’ll figure those out soon. Do you have any New Year resolutions? Here are mine (one was to get this site open so yay for completing one already!)

• To actually exercise and eat as healthy as possible (and not just every other-other month like I have been doing!)
• To get into the graphic design program at FSU (I apply this upcoming semester!)
• To keep a daily moleskin of random thoughs, doodles, and general babble.
• To learn how to play my acoustic guitar, my goal is to at least learn one full song.

And there’s probably more but at the moment I am drawing a blank Since I last blogged at Blissful.nu (oh how I will miss that domain!) I’ve bought an Xbox 360 which is my current addiction and quit World of Warcraft, again. I am very much addicted to Modern Warfare 2 since a very lovely person got it for me, it’s too much fun for it’s own good I also picked up a copy of Mass Effect at work for only $4.98 (I love clearance). In other news, I have not been up to much. Classes start next week and I wish my break was longer. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

As for Despair.nu – the domain has expired and the coder I originally had to add new features to it has been having internet problems. I have all of the files and databases backed up so hopefully sometime this year I can re-open Despair. Sorry it is taking so long, but hopefully sometime in this new year I’ll be able to reopen that site as well on a new domain I’m excitied to be blogging again, I missed it!

Work has been crazy as of late, I am getting twice as many hours as I want and it’s driving me crazy! Thankfully next week’s schedule is fixed so I’ll have time to work on the things I want to work on (such as Despair, the new blog, and oh you know BREATHING for once). Classes have also been crazy as of late too, lots of projects not so much lots of time. Ahhh.

I’m slowly but surely getting everything moved over to the new domain, I keep hitting some bumps in the road with coding and other things but it’s coming along Same goes with the new Despair.nu it’s a tedious process but it’s coming along as well. On Thanksgiving break soon so that will give me some more time to work on both!

Nothing really new has happened except I quit WoW about a month ago to play Everquest with some friends I may go back to WoW when the new expansion comes out in a year but until then EQ is fun, WoW was just getting really boring for me! I’d also play Aion if my desktop would run it or if they had a mac version

This Saturday I get off at 7 (thanks to someone switching shifts with me) and I am going to the fair with some friends, I am sooo excitied! I went last year and had a blast and I know this year will be just as magical ;) (the picture above is from last year, I stole it from my friend’s facebook haha!). I am so craving some yummy fair food right now (so good!) and ready to just have a night of fun instead of work or school! Anything exciting coming up for you :)?
