Birthday with a Bang!

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 :P 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 :P

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 :D


New Site, New Year!

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 :P 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 :P 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!
