I think I have my basic webpage thing all configured.



THIS WAS DONE IN MSPAINT, IF NOT OBVIOUS.

Anywhooo, I want a white-background "banner" where my name is at the top. I figure that It would just be my name in some nice script or something orrr I don't know. Haven't hammered that out.

Then have a line underneath in some nice colour, probably not red.
Then have links to categories, like if I want one for show photos I would plop that in there or something.

I have no idea what the front page would be. I think I'd have a rotten hard time trying to pick ONE photo to go on the front of it so maybe I will write exactly what I have there, or maybe I will create a haiku about cats. The options, they are endless.




Here we have what an actual photo page would look like. Instead of thumbnails, I want to be able to click the numbers and a new photo will show up in the main space. If there are a lot, maybe up/down arrows to keep it a bit tidier.

In my brain this doesn't look overly difficult but holy crow I am bad at tables. I want the top banner/category links t stay static no matter which page you click on. I think this could look really clean looking, I think.

Q:

I am trying to think of what I want for Christmas. I have decided that I have everything (haha) but not really. I need a new camera and some lenses, but those are too pricier for my mom to get me.

So, I'm wondering... are those hand immersion blenders better for soupin' than my big blender? My big blender is old but works well enough, but do those things work okay? It's just annoying having to transfer a bunch of stuff between pots to ensure smoothness.

Please advise, soupheads.

For some reason

I torture myself by reading old livejournal entries. Hah, it was funny though.

Some highlights:


+ alisha *studying* says:
wow aimee the neutral milk hotel sounds like a pretty happnin place

+ "there were more bodies on the ground in your house than in hotel rwanda"
-Lisa.


+ *takes logs off the fire with a shovel* (there is an action that goes along with this quote)



+ Hammer says:
i've never met anyone in my life that hated the sun so much



+ I can't believe I used to listen to THE BLOOD BROTHERS and FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER. HAHA

+ I once bought clogs and was excited about that fact

+ I used to know what this means, no more! goodbye brain!
Les: Madainn mhath Aimee. Ciamar a tha thu?

+ "didnt Prince change his name to pi?" - nathan (this was hilarious at age 16)

+ fuckyounickmalone.blogspot still works.

+ old Scotland photos:





+ My face, haha


Oh golly, so much hilarity and so much embarrassment. I've apparently been blogging since 2003, which is Aimee at the tender ol' age of 16. How funny.

What I've learned:
+ I keep nothing private. Zero things! Nothing!
+ My sex life as a 19 year old was bumpin'
+ My whininess as a 17 year old: also bumpin'
+ Young love is barf inducing
+ No shame, etc.
+ I kind of looked okay with a bob
+ I used to get 10+ comments on all of my old livejournal posts. ~popular~

Ooooooooof.

Happier holiday post?

If you know me at all you know that I love shopping at the Superstore.
Apparently I get giddy about new President's Choice products and that makes me a bad person, I think.

Regardless, I picked up a copy of the Holiday Insider's Report and it got me excited about Christmas.

I get really bummed when people are anti-Christmas. Yeah, I know about the over-spending and the Jesus connotations but if you ignore all of that we have a time where you can wear ugly sweaters, have lots of friends home to visit, and get to eat yourself stupid. This is great, guys.

Maybe I'm extra in the holiday spirit because I spent most of my holidays last year in Calgary all by our lonesome. It was fun, but I miss people sometimes.

+ Christmas potluck. Started thinking about this yesterday and trying to find a locale may be difficult. I want to have it at our house but so far I counted like, 40 people. Could that many people fit in our apartment?! Eeeesh.

+ Related: I want to get a Turducken. I have been talking about this since 2006. Need to get it done! it is like $80, anyone want to chip in?

+ Sailor Jerry's is now available at the PEILCC. Egg nog ahoy! I'm going to make my own egg nog and I'm going to like it.

+ Baking. Going to bake the fuck out of some... uh what do you bake the fuck out of? Flour? Anyways, on the list is peanut butter balls, and gingerbread men. I just realized the first does not involve baking at all. Never mind.

+ Skating. I did lots of skating last winter and even some hockey. I would do this again but preferably outside and for no money.

+ Decorating for holidays. I want to get little socks for BC & G this year, and we have a fireplace we can hang them on! I feel like maybe we could get a fake tree and put it in the sun room, so you can see the lights from the street? Kate, you should weigh in on this.

+ We discussed last night that instead of an "ugly sweater party" we have a "beautiful sweater party". We came to the conclusion that the results would be the exact same.

+ Eyes for Telescopes. I assume they are playing again this year, right? I'll just wait it out.

+ I kind of want to learn an instrument this winter. I say that a lot. But last year that keyboard just collected DUST after I mastered 'I'm a little teapot'. We have a guitar but I assume my fingers are too fat. Where's my dialing wand?

This post is disjointed, but in general. HOLIDAYS. REASONS TO BE HAPPY I GUESS.

If there is anything else to add, please advise. I could use the excitement.

I guess my job is going to be over by November 30th.

Hmmm, what am I to do? I am going to try to get some ROE's on the go and re-apply for EI to at least have some backup dollars, but in general I am fucked! As usual!

Haha, I should at least find some humour in my constant job scrambling but I've been hit with bad luck over and over and over again and sometimes being bad with money just stops being funny. Student loans are harassing me like crazy and my credit card bills need to be paid, and my cell phone is dead meat from non-payment.

Life guys, it's hard! I regret going to Halifax a few weeks ago. Or at the very least I shouldn't have gotten sucked in by shopping. I should realize by now that my friends can afford to shop and I can't. I also don't need a $40 dress when winter is coming. Fuck, bad decisions.

Anyways, I think I'm going to apply at Old Navy so I can fold holiday sweaters or something so that I can afford to buy my parents a Christmas present.
