Learning CSS Is Fucking Hard

annoyance, blog design, bring it on bitch!, challenges, css, dreamweaver, geek, learning, nook, postaday, programming, technology, web design, website

Well it’s less hard than it is annoying.

I am also learning Dreamweaver at the same time, which I guess makes things doubly annoying.

I put my Android application building project to the side for a while because for one, I wasn’t quite certain what kind of app to make and second of all there were other things I had to focus on – like on time delivery of my client’s company magazine.

Now I want to customize my blog using CSS. No, I can’t do it the easy way like pick a theme and screw around with it. I need to, have to, must to, do it CSS style. (“Must to” is not a grammatical error on my part, it is an inside joke only Nook and January will understand.)

Now why must I? Because I love working with technology and I love learning new things. Also, it is a challenge.

But why am I learning Dreamweaver and CSS at the same time you ask.

I like to be doubly challenged? No that’s not it. I am building a website for Nook’s new company. At the same time, I’m using CSS and Dreamweaver to test out the operation on my blog.

I am surrounded by books, notes and webpages so hopefully soon there will be changes to my blog ever few hours due to testing. After I have mastered this, then I shall begin the masterpiece that will be Nook’s website.

Of course it won’t be as much of a masterpiece as mine because that wouldn’t be fair would it?

In high school I would write papers for money – around ten dollars a project. I would write my paper to perfection and then work on the others and make them not so perfect. It was only fair. Plus, the people who paid me to do it didn’t care – they just needed to pass. So I got A’s and everyone else passed.

If anyone is as much of a geek out there as I am and has tip[s for beginners in CSS and Dreamweaver, give me a shout out. I have questions.

As for the rest of you my loves, have a great day.

Love,

November

Please Don’t Ask Me Why I Wrote This, I Am On Medication

booties, bras, chicken fillets, fun, new sneakers, silicon fillets, silly

Dearest darlings,

Ever since I mentioned the chicken fillet breast thingies, I haven’t been able to stop giggling about them. The comment string on that post makes me giggle every time I read it.

Now, yesterday I was trying to break in some new sneakers. I am a flip flop open toed sandal girl – yes sometimes even in the winter. But seeing as how I am now going to the gym, I decided to buy some proper shoes. I stopped by one of those multipurpose everything stores – you know, the kind that sells bras, underpants, socks, pajamas, etc? Well whaddya know…I found and ENTIRE rack of chicken fillets! There was even a pile of those spandex knicker shorts that are fitted with fillets for the bum.

Unfortunately the store keeper wouldn’t let me take photos of them, grumpy goose he was. But he did let me touch them and they feel very strange – soft and kind of fleshy.

I purchased my socks and came home and thought about…yep.

On Brassieres

bra, brassiere, comfort, LET THE LADIES HANG FREE!, postaday

Just a quickie here.

This morning I was making my coffee in my pajamas and t-shirt and my mother asked me to go put on a bra because it was unsightly. “You’ll have boobs that come down to you knees!” she warns me.

I just made my coffee and turned on my computer.

I tend to wear bras only if I’m going out. Sometimes I’ll even put on a tight tank under whatever I’m wearing so I don’t have to wear a bra. I find them…annoying.

I believe the only reason to ever wear them is so that when you come home from work or whatever and you release that clasp, your ladies sort of give a sigh of relief. Oh divine freedom of my bosom! Oh let the ladies hang free!

Do all of you ladies wear a bra when you’re lazing around at home? Or do you always wear a bra? And is it comfortable for you?

Also…when you are wearing a bra…do you look as happy and as carefree as her? Does the wind blow your hair into beautiful waves?

Raving and Ranting, Or Please Tell Me About You

I’ve been wondering for a few hours now about how to write this post. I feel I have many things to say and to rant about, and many things to ask. However, as I list them as an outline they seem to be quite trivial. It almost makes me feel stupid to write about them but I am going to do it anyway because I want to hear what the rest of the world has to say.

This post is calling those who have had mental illness, those who still have mental illness, those who are on medications for those mental illnesses, those who have stopped their medications, and also mothers, 30-somethings, and fathers (I have a lack of those following me so if you could point this post out to some of your father-blogger friends I will much appreciate it). That said:

WARNING: THIS POST IS EXTREMELY LONG. SHOULD YOU LOSE INTEREST FEEL FREE TO GO TO BED AND DO OTHER AWESOME THINGS IN YOUR LIFE AND THEN CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF, OR DON’T. I PROMISE TO STILL LOVE YOU.

Ok, now we’re off to a good start.

Stories I Wanted To Tell You Part 3, Or A Long Post About A Stray Cat

My dearest darlings,

I have two posts for you today. One good and the other, not bad, but not so good. So I’m starting with the good one because the other is going to take a little more thought and a little more advice-asking I suppose. And of course it’s the third story in the series of what I wanted to tell you so I believe I should start with that. Then I will write my second post and spend the rest of the week reading and commenting on as many of yours as I can.

An Introduction to Drunk Doped November, Or Stories I Wanted to Tell You Part 2

argument, bad november, break, deranged, drinking, drunk, gym quality time, jocks, love, nook, postaday, quarrel, seroquel, team nook

Once upon three weeks ago I got away with some crazy shit. This one has to do with Nook. I know you are all wondering about him as he hasn’t made an appearance in a while, but for those who are team Nook, this one is going to make you love him even more.

Since I began taking medication, I have stopped drinking entirely save the odd drink here and there. I have realized I’m not as big a fan of the late, drunken night out as I used to be. Also because I subjected my body to massive quantities of a variety of substances in my late teens and early 20s, it now takes me several days to recover from all sorts of tomfoolery. This story is about one such night.

How to begin? How to begin? Ah yes. It was a busy evening for Nook.

Now then. Since no one has sniped me through the windows for that last post (I’d like to see them try with my extra thick curtains) I can continue to tell stories. But first I want to show you the Easter Eggs I made this past Sunday.

My dearest darlings,

I know I have been bad. I have yet to catch up on your posts. It seems that once I’ve finished a whole batch, a brand new one comes along and the number is rising. Good for you!

I have finally managed to find someone with a Paypal account who was willing to pay for me to upgrade my blog so that I can play with more customizing tools. I don’t have Paypal where I live. Why? Because we are untrustworthy I think.

Now seeing as how I haven’t written anything in so long, I am not going to make excuses. Each of you can give me a slap on the butt. But before you use violence, I will have you know that I have been doing very serious things in my absence. All of which I am going to share with you in a moment.

Also I am giving up on that long due awards post. I thank you all for giving them to me. Please do not think that they weren’t appreciated. My inbox is so full that I just can’t find them anymore. I promise that from now on I will post award posts as soon as I receive them.

I’d like to start with the “doorman”. Remember him? Here’s the truth. He isn’t really a doorman.

Hello darlings!

I wonder how you have all been. I’ve thought about you guys every day. Thank you, Katie, for checking up on me. You are, as always, such a sweetheart. I’m sorry for not replying. I just haven’t really been checking my blog mail. Yes, so naughty I know. Why haven’t I been doing that? Several reasons actually. Guess what’s coming? Yep. A list of sorts. Have you guys missed these?
