Out with the old…

I decided to celebrate the coming of spring this year, as opposed to my usual routine of angrily muttering to myself as I hide in my house and prepare to crank the AC for the coming months of summer.

To celebrate, I decided to give my blog a makeover! Meet my new background, playlist, aaaaaand… Okay, that’s it. Yep.

What do you think? I rather like it! It took a long time to decide on a color, but I decided on purple. It was tough though! (oh, and the border around pictures from previous posts won’t really go away. I’ll try to fix it soon!)

So, enjoy the purple, the Owl City (hey, Lulu, note the link to my Keane playlist in my website list, just for you!), and be sure to email me/comment and tell me what you think!

Yay, I posted 3 days in a row! *happy dance*

(Yeah, don’t ask about the Castle. I’m doing a post on it soon =D )

(I now have to decide whether this is more fun, or if I should still do the whole ‘angry muttering/AC’ thing…)

A list, because I like them!

I have this obsession with making lists. It’s one of my favorite parts of starting to write a book – making lists and lists about the characters. Daydreams, favorite foods, favorite people, their 7-step plans for world domination… (I do actually do that for characters, even if they’re nice. Who doesn’t have a plan for world domination?…)
So, because of this obsession, I was overcome with happiness when a friend told me that I should make a list of 10 things that make me happy. A list about me! Ingenious! I love lists, and I love me, so it’s brilliant!
10 things that make me happy
1. My par
Wait. No. I need a pretty font.
No pretty fonts? C’mon! How much do you think I’m paying you? What, nothing? Well, either way, make it BIGGER!
10 things that make me happy
1. My parents
(that’s much better, I suppose… Thank you.)
2. My religion
3. My friends
4. Music (specifically music that makes me feel good… Owl City for example…)
5. Writing
6. Cooking!
7. My other hobbies, like photography, drawing, playing the piano and the guitar (though I don't play the latter well, I just play it…)
8. Reading
9. My pets!
10. Dancing (another one that I enjoy, but don’t do very well!)
There we go! That was my list, and boy, did I have fun making it! Although, I think it might be slightly more fun to make them for my characters…

Postscript: … I totally had a great font for this post. Then I found out it wouldn’t work. MEH! =(
Sigh.
