I don't actually post here anymore, since I now have Onomatopoeia, but I just realized that I left Trying to Identify the Voices in My Head in a very sorry state. So I have revived version III, syllable from sound, because I adore it despite complaints about its legibility. So this blog will remain intact for nostalgic purposes, but chronicles of my daily life now exist (and have for the past few months) at the journal above.

Archives back up.
Got a rose bush. (Mom got one, too).
Posted my article at Renaissance successfully.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 8:18:00 PM [>]

So I tried to post my article at Renaissance, but whenever I log in it says "no such user exists." I am totally screwed if I can't get this to work, because the zine only publishes on Sunday. Aww, crap.
Still looking for a host...

So I cut all my hair off. It's chin-length now and I really like it. My head feels so much lighter--in fact, I felt a little off-balance when I got up to leave the hairdresser's.
I think some random surfing is in order.

*smacks forehead*
I am so retarded. I should never leave comments in people's blogs ever again. For my homepage I typed in my e-mail address. And posted it. *is a dumbass* I really should pay more attention to these sorts of things. So if I've left something totally stupid in your blog, I apologize. It's not quite noon, and therefore I haven't woken up. *shakes head* I feel so stupid.
Cleaning dog snot off a window is much harder than it looks. It took me at least fifteen minutes--and I cleaned it just a month ago.
<--If you have a domain, read the "Host Shopping" heading at left. Thank you.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 11:36:00 AM [>]

Woot! I got accepted as an editor to Renaissance! My article is supposed to be published Sunday, so go take a look then.
Other than that, I'm host shopping.
Riding went pretty well. It poured several times during the lesson, but fortunately neither of the horses freaked out. Starting next week I'm riding in the morning, so with any luck it won't be quite so hot.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 9:10:00 PM [>]

I'm currently joining the seanbiggerstaff.com message board. This makes me feel unusually creepy and stalker-like, but I need something to amuse myself with in Renaissance*'s absence. I just pray it's better than the SB Yahoo club. It was like a teenybopper war zone over there. Eee.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 10:24:00 AM [>]

I worked yesterday. Five hours of nothingness. Woot. I'll spare you the details. Yesterday I was too worn out by my boredom and too depressed by the inanity of my job to actually blog.
Scratch everything I've previously said about moving to Luverly's domain, as she can't host any more people. So I tried putting up a listing at Find Me, but you have to have a link button up first and I couldn't do that because Liquid2k decided to randomly stop working. And Pick Me! is down.
So basically, I'm screwed.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 10:05:00 AM [>]

*passes out*
Liquid2k doesn't allow PHP. What a bitch-slap.
What to do now?? It seems like I'll be moving everything to Luverly's server.
Could the world be any more of a pain in the arse?
Anyway, in national news, apparently people are flipping out about how the Pledge of Allegiance says "under God." Oy. If people have a problem with it, then God doesn't have to be the Christian God in the minds when they say the words--it can mean Allah or Buddha or whoever. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in a time when there were no religions in America that didn't worship God. Respect the fact.

Things that are currently medically wrong with me:

• asthma
  
• allergies (animals, leaves, pollen, dust, and just about everything else)
  
• lactose intolerancy
  
• does being reallyreally short count?
  
• bad eyesight (glasses)
  
• crooked bite (braces)
  
• this might not count, but for the record I have virtually no feeling in the skin over my left ankle bone
  
• and now, the big one: I have high cholesterol. How is this possible? I'm 5'1" and weight 115 lbs. My mom has high cholesterol too because her liver makes too much, but for me to have to go to nutrition counseling at age 15 is ridiculous. So now I guess I have to stop eating junk food, which is totally going to suck once school starts because whenever I come home from school I'm exhausted and need quick energy.

Oh, I just thought of another impending medical problem: I have a cold just about every other week. And, according to my blood work, I don't have mono or anemia.
I am a walking disease farm.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:07:00 PM [>]

Still sick. This irks me.
I've saved all the Fathoms of Shadow files I need on my hard drive and am now going to make some PHP. If I'm not back in a week, send a web designer.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 10:53:00 AM [>]

Luverly said the contrast between the background color and the text color made my blog different to read and suggested adding a dropshadow last night. Well, I did. It took me 678 tries, but eventually it worked. And then guess what happened? The stupid dropshadow made it harder to read. So you kids are stuck with hard-to-read bloggage until I figure out what to do. Sometime in July, probably while I'm home and in pain due to my lack of wisdom teeth, I think I'll put up a new layout--a very, very simple layout. I love this current one, but I'm not feeling very nostalgic right now. Besides, I can always reuse this one if need be. So take that, my loyal readers, take that.

The Gainfully Employed Octavia will be making more than minimum wage. Can we say, "Score!"?
I went shopping today. We won't get into the details.
I love ice cream.
Believe it or not, I actually was going to start converting Fathoms of Shadow to PHP today. Unfortunately, Liquid2k picked this as a great opportunity to break. So, alas, I am PHP-less still.

I just went to my school's website for the first time and ouch. It is painful. Overuse of frames, huge tacky buttons, and it hasn't been updated in a year. Yikes. I really should've gone to that meeting about people wanting to help design the school website, because I honestly think I could've done better. Mom says I should get permission to fix it. I'm starting to agree with her.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 7:39:00 PM [>]

I just cleaned out a couple of my old web accounts and feel pretty good about myself.
This PHP stuff is hard. I had to have Luverly explain it to me. This would be one of those times when I feel like a complete moron. (Which I suppose I am).
I had altar-serving today. The two kids I was working with had no idea what they were doing, but nevertheless it was entertaining. (Almost anything can be entertaining at 8:00 in the morning.)
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:13:00 PM [>]

Arright. I've made a rather important decision.
Liquid2k is being mucho stupido when it comes to actually saving my CSS and distributing it to all the files I have linked to it. Therefore, I am going to learn PHP (cue angelic singing) to make layout-updating easier. Fathoms of Shadow is too huge to have a stylesheet cut-and-pasted on every single page. So now I'm off to php-princess to try to learn a few things.
Expect many delays and Fathoms of Shadow's prolonged absence.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 7:51:00 PM [>]

This morning I officially murdered (read: deleted) Pet Peeves. I feel a little better now about my ability to let websites go.
Somehow I forgot to mention that I am no "gainfully employed" (as my Mom puts it), working at a good-smelling gift shop called Boysenberries. I start Monday. Let's all hope that this improves my people skills. *coughcoughyeahrightcough*
We went to my grandparents' house and ended up staying for supper. Note to self: wear bigger pants next time. My Grammie is one mean cook.

Finished reading the first Harry Potter book for the second time. Now maybe I should make a dent in all those library books.
Rosie is fascinated by the piano. It's really quite hilarious.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 12:43:00 PM [>]

*blinks*
I went to check the FoS main page to see my CSS was working and I got a '301 Moved Permanently' screen with a link to the page as it was before I changed it to say that the page was down. Something's definitely wrong with Liquid2k. Maybe if I completely lose my sanity within the next couple of weeks, I'll move it to daintyroseORG when Luverly hosts me. Heh. Simply changing the layout for FoS is frustrating. Moving it could possibly kill me. So, in conclusion, we're takin' down that link before "those punks at Liquid2k" break anything else.

Everyone go download John Mayer's song "No Such Thing." It is uber, uber-awesome. =) While you're at it, get me a Coffee Coolatta. I really want one of those right now.
*regains consciousness*
Anyway, I'm taking down my archives for no particular reason other than they give me problems more often than they work and at this present time I want to be the only one with access to them. Yes, kids, I am a very evil kaiser-like webmaster.
I used to say "webmistress" in a desperate attempt to be politically correct, but that sounds so painfully dumb that I gave up. It's like, just say webmaster. It's a unisex term. Yeesh. <--I use so many onomatopeic terms in everyday blogging that it's a wonder anyone has any idea what I'm talking about.
Mimarin.net used up its bandwidth, so renaissance, Bish's blog, and everything else on mNET are currently down. (Basic cause and effect, but I thought I'd explain anyway because I have nothing better to write about.) Luverly told me Bish might remove Ren because that's where he gets most of his hits. =( I will miss Ren. I learned a great many things there, mainly about how cool you can make your avatars look if you try really hard.
One of the worst after effects of being sick is the current state of my nose. After blowing it 98,235,238,920 times, it's all red and peeling. Not very pleasant, hear you me.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 7:59:00 PM [>]

Tables and JavaScript are the root of all evil.
Anyway, Fathoms of Shadow is currently down for the sake of my sanity while I redesign it. I really need to learn PHP to make all of my redesigns easier. Luverly gave my a website to reference and I guess I'll go from there.
So much for trying to move the links, formerly at the right of picture, to the right of my text. This is one of those times when I really, really wish I'd never gotten myself into this HTML business. Someone buy me DreamWeaver, please. Then I won't have to do all of this myself.

What a difference a squirrel makes when discussing your day.
Mom was out and Griffin started barking at something. The squirrel was sitting on top of the heater by its little hole. After shutting the dogs in the office, I embarked in a 20-minute crusade to catch the squirrel. Those things are fast. So I chased the squirrel all over the house with a towel and, eventually, a bucket, until I managed to pick him up long enough to put him in the bucket, throw the towel over the bucket, and run outside.
There should be superheroes named after squirrels. They're fast, agile, and can eat seeds like nobody's business. I think the only reason cartoonists haven't created a Squirrel Man is that it would be weird to have a superhero with a big fluffy tail.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 5:58:00 PM [>]

The resident squirrel is still at large.
I haven't really done anything worth talking about today. Sorry.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:33:00 PM [>]

I've been having way too much fun on HTML validators. I got rid of lots of images, but my scripts are still retarded. I give up. My brain hurts. The squirrel is still at large, although we've set a trap for it. (Relax, it's a live trap.)
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 9:56:00 PM [>]

We have a squirrel in the house. It's inside the island bar thing (which is really more of a peninsula if you ask me, since one end is on the wall.) We have an improvised live trap contraption set up. It probably won't work, but it's worth a try.

John Mayer ~ "No Such Thing"
Went to Odie's today, we didn't do much on the level of constructivity. (<--pretend that's a word, kids.)
Kelly Osbourne's version of "Papa Don't Preach" is pretty frickin' awesome.
I'm going to go work on this webring thing Odie and I are working on. Oh yes, Dammit Productions has it's first webring...or, at least, it's going to have one once I make it/Liquid2k starts to work.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 5:57:00 PM [>]

Uuugghhhhhhhh.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:34:00 PM [>]

I hope I don't die. Last night I honestly thought I had kidney failure or something and that's why I'm sick all the time.
Aylah and I are going to make a webringgy clique-y thing tomorrow at her house. 'Tis going to be uber, uber cool.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 8:03:00 AM [>]

I am sick again. I totally have mono.
Cleaned out my drawers today and moved around/refolded clothes. The drawers actually shut now.
Today was rather unproductive, but whatever. It's summer. Leave me alone. I HTMLed some things from the Nebula that are going to wind up on Fathoms of Shadow. So that's something.


Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 4:25:00 PM [>]

Okay so I wasn't supposed to get online, but I cleaned. A lot. So shut up.
Saw "Behind Enemy Lines" yesterday and "Elizabeth" today. Both uber good.
Odie has a blog now! Whee!
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 6:50:00 PM [>]

My song interpretations page is up. Okay, kids, now I'm leaving because I a) have nothing left to do online; and b) have to pee. So I'll see ya once my room is clean.
(I started cleaning this morning and have about 6 inches of paper to recycle).
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 4:09:00 PM [>]

I just realized that I was going to put up my song interpretations today. And I didn't. That might have to wait until later. Ah, screw it, I might as well do it now.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:21:00 PM [>]

Tame This Mind is just about finished. I have up the Miscellaneous and Link Me sections. Eventually I'll get an image gallery, but not right now.
Week after next I plan on doing the following:

• Putting up Etcetera, Etc.
  
• New layout at Fathoms of Shadow
  
• Taking down Pet Peeves (it'll become a master list somewhere at Fathoms of Shadow)
  
• Moving a lot of stuff from the Nebula to Fathoms of Shadow
  

Yes, kids, I will be merging the Nebula's content with that of Fathoms of Shadow. Expage is, well, crap, and I don't think it'll be worth it to redesign the site someplace else. Fathoms of Shadow is becoming more about Gormenghast and less about me, so I'm going to take everything that was previously on the Nebula and put it on Fathoms of Shadow. I used to think expanding the amount of webspace I take up is a good thing, but it's not; managing such a huge amount of material is difficult. The Nebula was my first website and it holds a little nostalgia for me, but progress must be made in the name of HTML.
There was a car accident yesterday near my house and someone died. My dad and I saw the car being towed away and the top of it was all smashed in. It's so horrible.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 2:51:00 PM [>]

Brain. Is. Fried.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 11:27:00 AM [>]

*stretches*
Okay. The lyrics to Lifehouse songs are linked to the song title in the "No Name Face Info" section. Well, the first six of them. My brain kind of hurts, so I'll do the rest later. Not bad progress for morning, if you ask me.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 10:42:00 AM [>]

It hurts, it hurts.
I've been putting up the new layout for Tame This Mind for hours on end. It would help if images didn't upload so crappily. I shouldn't be overworking like this, but I want to get it done so I don't have that to do that on top of Etcetera, Etc. Well, once it's done it will be beautiful, and with all the extra images I've had to make because I need smaller ones (and resizing them distorts them) I'll have a nice little fanart/stock art section. Neato.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 10:05:00 PM [>]

Crap. My last post didn't post because AOL broke (as usual.)
Anyway, I am officially a sophomore!!!
Dead rodent on front steps. (Rosie, Scarlett, you suck). Tried to clean it up, couldn't get it onto the shovel. It's all ripped-apart and gross.
Working on Tame This Mind. It will be pretty.

I just sent an e-mail to Garth Nix, recommending the Gormenghast novels.
I truly am crazy. (Or mad, as they say in England). Or maybe I'm just fearless. Sometimes I think I'm both. I am so off my rocker that I know no fear.

Ooh, I think my template might be working now. Score.
I am so sick of getting junk mail, especially when it's not addressed to me. Half the time I don't even unsubscribe from all this crap I technically didn't subscribe to in the first place. If it involves me replying to the message to unsubscribe, then screw it. Usually I get the e-mail back anyway because the address the e-mail came from doesn't actually exist. Ah, the joys of signing up for Web services and getting your e-mail distributed to every business on the planet.
Massmarketing4you.com. Well, there you go.
No, I do not want bigger basoomas, thank you very much. (They didn't actually say "basoomas," but I pick up way too many terms from Louise Rennison books).
I came up with a new layout for Tame This Mind (woot!) It uses inline frames, but I don't plan on moving the site anytime soon. I'll just see if I can use one of those ad killer things. I'll still leave up one banner, I'd just prefer not to have two on the same page.
Ooh, good, posts at The Wired. Things go a little slowly there, so I just post whenever I have a semi-original thought in a desperate attempt to keep up the action.
This is turning out to be quite the long post. Well, I suppose it's more pleasant for y'all than reading my hundred one-sentence posts a day. I'm starting to turn into a normal blogger instead of a spastic poster. Always improving, me.

Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:42:00 PM [>]

Science and Latin final today. Eh.
I went book shopping last night (whee!) and got two books: Lirael by Garth Nix and On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God by Louise Rennison. I started reading the latter and it's hilarious.
My old template still shows up, so I have to keep copying & pasting the new one in. Grr.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 1:01:00 PM [>]

Nope.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 4:21:00 PM [>]

I wonder if my template has fixed itself yet...
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 4:21:00 PM [>]

I resized the image because it was huge.
I have the new Fathoms of Shadow layout all planned and ready, but that will wait until next weekend/my Web Week. I've done enough new layout-age in the past two days.
Blogger (you stupid, stupid...yeah you get the idea) is being retarded and won't save my new HTML. It keeps reverting to the last layout. Gah.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 1:28:00 PM [>]

Archives can be deadly. Whenever I get bored online I'll just read people's archives. This can be dangerous because your IQ drops severely when you're bored. One time I tried reading Simon's archives and I almost hurt myself because of all the techie things he was talking about. Never read the blog of someone's who's smarter than you when your IQ is impaired.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 11:16:00 AM [>]

AOL, you suck. I tried to maximize this window and I closed it because your setup is so stupid. Grr.
I got so bored that I read Bish's entire archive. (Okay, so I cheated and skimmed some of it. Mainly the stuff that wasn't in English.) I was going to post a comment about something, but there was no comment box...and now, come to think of it, I don't actually remember what it was about. Oh well.
Okay this is like the eighth time I've posted today.
My butt hurts. I've been in this chair too long. The funny thing is, I wasn't actually going to get back online, but after I studied for my science final I thought of something I wanted to look up. And alas, I am still here.
Oh, this is only my fifth post today. I can live with that.
I'm starting to see cross-eyed. Must. Sleep...
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 10:15:00 PM [>]

Studied for my science final. It was really boring.
I need a life.
The Lifehouse webmaster fixed their JavaScript so that the gallery works properly now (yay!)...I should update Tame This Mind. Granted, I also want more people to help with the ultimate-Lifehouse-fansite thing so we can actually get started. (If you're interested, e-mail me. I'll put a link to the thread pertaining to the site on FF later, when my computer/Internet decides to function a little better).
Blogger not publishing my changes. This irks me.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 9:15:00 PM [>]

P.S. Welcome, everyone from renaissance* and The Wired. And everyone else, for that matter.
Whenever I click the template button, I get all my old HTML. Damn you, Blogger. I saved and published the new HTML. Good thing I have it saved in Word.
You stupid, stupid bitch.
Maybe I should see what the dog's doing. He could very well have eaten a sock by now.

Currently Listening to: "seein' red" unwritten law (fitting, isn't it?)
Time for the new layout! DundundundundunDUN!!!!! It took forever for me to get the Internet to work. Eesh.
No Triple Crown this year =( It's really too bad. War Emblem would've had it if he hadn't tripped at the starting gate.
So I saw the middle school play last night with Aylah and damn. Might have to start robbing the cradle pretty soon, 'cos some of those eighth grade guys have gotten a lot better-looking...XD yeah right, like I'm actually going to do that...one of the kids doing lights said, "Hey, I remember you, you were the princess or something last year." I was like, "No, no I wasn't, my name's Octavia and I'm an exchange student from Holland!" Yeah,they didn't believe me. (For the record, I was Elder Cinderella--I had four lines and they all sucked.)
Okay, now it's time to actually change the layout template.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 6:59:00 PM [>]

Well, kids, I ran my mile on the treadmill in gym class today. My time was 9:42--not bad for a sick asthmatic cripple. I ran the whole thing with my shoes untied, too. (That was kind of an accident).
Aimee and Calla weren't at riding, so I had a private lesson. It was fun, except Seaboy kept overbending and drifting toward the middle.

New Lifehouse album due September 17! Story here. The official Lifehouse website has a new sweet layout, too.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:33:00 PM [>]

Two days until the new layout is up. I might even put it up tomorrow night if I get that bored. (Which is likely). It all depends on how much time I have on Saturday, as my cousin's graduation party is then. I'm also supposed to go see the play at my brother's school (although my brother isn't actually in it) tomorrow or Saturday.
We had this awards ceremony thing at school today. I got little acheivement pins in all my classes except geometry, which was fine because I suck at geometry anyway.
I'm working on a new, bright-and-happy layout for Fathoms of Shadow. I'll miss the current one, but it's getting quite dreary.
My Welcome to AOL screen has some awesome pictures from the Hubble Telescope, one of which I'd like to use for...something. (Sometimes it's just useful to have these sorts of things on your hard drive.) Unfortunately, right-clicking is disabled, so I checked out the NASA website. As it turns out, the NASA website kind of sucks. Ooh. Now I've found the official Hubble Site and it is pretty. Now this is progress.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:27:00 PM [>]

Currently Listening To: "Summer Wind Was Our Song" The Ataris (I like it so far.)
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 5:55:00 PM [>]

Whoa. I cleaned my hard drive prematurely because Dad needs to take it to work and get new software installed on it. I converted all my .bmps and .arts to .jpgs and deleted the old files, along with other crap I didn't need. The total: 94 items, 43.9 megabytes. Whoa squared.
Submitted an article to Renaissance today.
I'm thinking of making a separate poetry website. I really like the idea and having each poem on a separate page over at Fathoms of Shadow is quite tedious. I know where I want to apply for hosting. I'm just going to go and do it, dammit. I don't want to have a huge website to work with every single time I want to change a layout or something. I like having a collective of little sites. =)
Didn't have to run in gym class today, which was good because my knee was killing me. (I twisted it yesterday being a dumbass and running inside when I heard the three-minute bell ring. The Klutz strikes again). Stairs were murder. Walking on a flat was okay, but running on hard floor probably would have sucked. I can do 47 sit-ups in a minute, though.

It still looks like a reindeer.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:35:00 PM [>]

Whoa. There is something definitely wrong with me. There was a picture of a helicopter spraying stuff over a wildfire on my Welcome to AOL screen, and I honestly thought it was a jumping reindeer. (What? The extinguishing stuff it was pouring out was kind of reindeer colored.)
I have to run the mile tomorrow. Of course, my gym teacher neglected to notify me of this until today. I normally don't run because, well, I suck. I'm asthmatic, always sick, and athletically impaired. Apparently that qualifies for the disabled list, but I still have to run the mile. Aylah said I should just walk the whole thing (24 times around the gym--dizzy), and I think I will. Just to piss off my gym teacher.
I'm off to waste some more time.
Anj the Poet kept one heart from breaking at 3:30:00 PM [>]

Hello, kids. I coughed up a phlem loogie the size of the quarter this morning. It was gross.
One week till finals. Well, sort of...I don't have any on Monday because it's my gym and study hall periods. Whatever. I think (hope) I can last another week.
This is a way cool e-zine: Renaissance. (And no, it has nothing to do with the forum of the same name).

P.S. I gave up looking for free/adless hosts. I'm hoping I can eventually get hosted by someone with a domain anyway, so I'm just going to get a second Liquid2k account and see how that works. It should be fine, since it will just be temporary.

Octavia was a good girl today. She typed up the Etcetera Actresses page in HTML. Octavia is achy. Octavia is sick. Octavia's brain is so fried she is referring to herself in the third person.
I don't know what to do with myself today...or yesterday, for that matter. I'm saving everything for summer, which probably isn't a good idea, but I suppose wasting one weekend is a lot better than wasting an entire summer.
We're going to go look for a floor lamp for my room.

Once again, kids, I am sick. Oh joy.
My schedule for the next couple of weeks is here.
