New Look
Well, the new design is up. I still need to make pages that look good in 600X800 resolution. Currently it looks best in 1024X768. I won't even mention the amount of frames that are in this page. Hopefully within the next couple days I will get motivated enough to make it more multi-resolution friendly, but right now I need a break.

Inspiration
I was inspired today at work so I am doing a little bit of redecorating. Hopefully I will be done within a couple days. The overall look will be pretty much the same, it will just have a few extra cool design things.

Blah
Life has been boring and uneventful lately which is probably why I havent written anything lately. There has been nothing to write about.
I must begin paying off my student loans this month. Actually, if I am luckly I might be able to get differed until next month. Because I didn't let them know what kind of payment plan I wanted to be on they put me on the standard payment plan which means that I have to pay back over $300 a month. There is no way I can afford that. I was able to change my payment option to one that is far less, but unfortunately it will not take effect until December. The good news is that I am apparently in a state of economic hardship so I can possibly skip this month's payment. I printed out the request forms and I am a bit worried that there were no fields to enter in your current income. I just hope that they do not go by my loan application last year because I had to include my parent's income as well. Since I am no longer a dependent and there is no way that my father is going to help me make this payment, if they decide that I am not in a state of economic hardship I am screwed. My fingers are crossed.
That was about the most exciting thing that has happened to me lately. Does that make you sad? It makes me sad.

Ouch
Well, I survived my first night back at dance class since my ankle injury... barely. Damn am I sore! Ankle is a bit tender, but really not all that bad. Of course, I did every dance at least once with all of the energy I could muster, and the other times I will admit it was a bit half-assed, but at least I tried. The competition is in a month so I really need to work my ass off without injuring my ankle any further.
The morning after dance class I could definitly feel the pain. Ouch. As long as I keep moving it's not too bad.

Stuff
Yesterday I spent three hours untangling and recurling my wig. How sad is that? Especially considering that I don't even need to use it again for another month. I was just bored. It looks fabulous now though, almost brand new.
I talked to my sister today. It seems as though my father has booked us two rooms at Circus Circus in Vegas for New Years at $200 a room per night. Damn. That's a shit load of money. The rooms had better be huge. I can't wait for my family to visit! It's less than two months away.
I also got word from my friend Tammy that she bought a plane ticket to come visit me next month, the weekend of my dance school's competition. I love having people come visit me because I get to see them without having to pay for a plane ticket or go through the hassel of flying.
A couple days ago I downloaded this chat proram called Trillian and I just love it! It combines all of the chat programs - AIM, Yahoo, MSN and ICQ - all into one. You can also dowload skins for it and change the look.

Fooled
I was actually fooled by my alarm clock this morning. Ever since I have been old enough to own one I have always set it ahead ten minutes with the hope that I will actually be one time instead of my usual late self. Since having the clock set ahead is a normal thing for me I have learned to simply add the extra ten minutes on automatically. This morning, after a few slaps of the snooze button, I actually thought I was running late so I jumped out of bed and rushed to get ready only to realize that I still had ten minutes. I can't remember the last time I did that. Besides this fascinating anecdote, my day was uneventful.

The force is strong within me.
I can't even believe that it is already November. This year has really gone by really fast. I am sure this will be a year that I will remember for a long time.
Halloween last night was really fun. I decided to trade in my Pippy Longstocking costume for a Jedi robe and go to the preview of Star Wars Episode II in IMAX with Ben. We had a blast. There were tons of people dressed as Jedis, a handful of Storm Troopers, some rebel soldiers and an imperial guard. The movie was trimmed down about 20 minutes, which was nice. Most of the scenes that were cut involved Jar Jar or the love birds frolicking in the meadow.
I finally uploaded those photo galleries. I still have one more to do which I will get around to eventually and I have a few more pictures to add to the 'Friends' gallery.
Nothing too terribly exciting is happening right now. Hopefully I'll have more to say later.
