How long have you been webdesigning?
I wanna say since about 2001. My first site was Soul Tattoo, a Plus One fansite. Right now it says I opened it in June 2001, but that was really just my last recorded update. It was open a few months before that. That was a really bad site. I started doing my own HTML in mid-2002, then I got PSP last year and started making my own graphics then. So, in answer to your question, about 3 years.


How do you make personality quizzes?
I really don't know...I know Dee had a quiz site going for awhile, so you might ask her.


Only 5 weeks of school left! I think everyone's got spring fever. I know I do. I'm SO ready for summer! I've got a church camp the first week of summer and I can't wait. Last year was SOO much fun. Me and Melissa were the only people in our small groups that went to our church, plus we were the only girls. So we didn't really have anyone to talk to. (most of the guys were, like 13, or it would've been different.) But on the last day, we both had ice cream for lunch, so we were really hyper. We started talking to the guys in our group and they turned out to be really cool! So this year, I guess I should eat ice cream every day...lol. It'll be easier to have fun tho cuz it'll be all high schoolers this time.
Well, there's my blab about nothing for the day...lol.

Gosh, I really don't have much to talk about...I worked all weekend, so I'm REALLY tired. I worked a shift from 7:30-10:00 p.m. on Friday, the Saturday I had one at 9:30 and 12:30 back-to-back. Then at 6:30 and this afternoon I was working a fundraiser at church. So I'm really tired now.
Friday my history class took a field trip and Ben, Ben, Liz, Melissa and I all crammed into a litlle photo booth and got our picture taken. It was really funny cuz everyone that walked by saw us all falling out. It was hilarious. It took us forever to get it done. Ben and I were on the bottom and Melissa was on my lap and the other Ben on Ben's lap then Liz layed across us. Liz is blonde so she couldn't get the machine to work right, then no one had money, so the Ben that was sitting on the other Ben's lap reached for his wallet and missed (Please say you got that, I'm not gonna explain.). So we finally got it taken and the whole ordeal took 20 minutes. :) Just thought I'd tell you!
I'm gonna stop talking and go watch that Everwood I missed last week now.
Peace.

Do you like the Lord of the Rings?
I only saw the first one, but it was pretty good. Im not obsessed with it or anything. But yeah, I like it.


Today is SO miserable! It's hot and humid and sticky. Plus it's kinda misty outside, but not quite sprinkling. Blech. So I'm gonna go take a shower and turn the AC on high. lol. Really I just updated to answer that question.
I added a wallpaper in the visitor section, so go check that out.
Oh, yeah, everyone go check out Karen's new layout.

1st of all, happy birthday Seth!
OK, something weird just happened. I'm on a computer that I don't usually use to check email since I just download everything thru outlook on windows. But I really needed to send a message and my mom was on our normal computer. So I went to the inbox and there are 50 messages in there that date back to way back in March! Plus, my parents have email accounts on my domain, and a whole lot of their email was in there too! Which is weird cuz I was logged in as me, not them. My mom accidentally closed the window, so I logged back in and they were all gone! I dunno where they went! And I didn't get a chance to read ANY of them! Plus there's a whole lot in there about some jobs I'm supposed to do, so I could miss out on a lot of money!
There's also a lot of forms. I dunno if they're from QSD or Super Trouper or DPZ, but if you think you need to be added to some list at one of my sites but aren't, please fill out the form again! I'm REALLY sorry!
If anyone knows whats happening, please tell me!!

OK, I found something to tell y'all about...I went shopping today and somehow I ended up in the Easter candy aisle at Wal-Mart...I kinda went crazy when I came to the Cadbury Eggs...lol who doesn't? Anyway...I found the cutest little mini-rubber ducky tied to an egg full of jelly beans. Well, I think rubber ducks are the cutest things and I'm always looking for cute little things to decorate my room with, so of course I had to buy it. Here's a pic.

Yeah, so I'm ditzy, but I like it...lol. You prob'ly think I'm a total loser, but thats OK!
lol

Do you like fords? :D hehe..
I like Mustangs! There's this '65 red one that I really want and it's only $6000, but my parents aren't sure...But they mostly make trucks, right? Trucks are great and all, but they're kinda big. But the prettiest trucks are those little ones where the cab is bigger than the bed. If Ford makes those, then yeah, I like Ford...lol


what font is on this layout?
It's called Guilty and it's from Misprinted Type.


Just answering those questions...nothing really to blog about.
Happy Birthday Seth (tomorrow)!

Happy Easter everyone!
Well, I ended up being home for Smallville and it was SOOO good! If you've never seen the show, you don't know what you're missing!
Ummm...If anyone wants screen caps of the Dove Awards, tell me what artist and I'll get 'em for you...They're not the best quality, so they aren't good for layouts, but they'll work for photo galleries and stuff. Here's an example. (It's the lead guy in Audio Adrenaline.)
Anyway, everyone go to Denise's site. She's cool.

Well, I finally bought a domain name for Daily Planet Zone. But I just got the name, no space, so I can still host it here and not go through the trouble of transferring everything. The URL is dailyplanetzone.com. But it doesn't work yet, so don't bother trying...
I just wanted to say thanks to Amy* for being so great about putting links to all these Daily Planet birthday projects on her site. I know Daily Planet Zone isn't that popular of a site right now, so she helps a lot...THANKS!!
Speaking of birthday projects...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY!!! Danny Lund of Daily Planet turns 26 today! But you can still leave him a note.
It was really weird last nite...I was uploadingthe new layout at about 11:00 PM and while it was uploading I was changing the colors on the tagboard. When I went to my site to make sure they looked OK, Amy had already been by to see it! She updated her site about4 or 5 minutes later, plugging me cuz of the new layout. She said she went the 1st time and all the little logos weren't changed but she went back and they were. That's gotta be some kinda record for fastest plug for a new layout! lol...just thought that was interesting...
Anyway, thanks to Amy, Trina, Nina & Karen for commenting on the layout!!
Everyone go see Trina's new layout...it sooo cute!
One more thing...go check out Evan's new site, one-80.net. It's a Christian music media site and it very cool!


Also, now it's Seth's turn...his birthday's on the 22nd.

Where did you get all those Jaci V. Unspoken pix?
I scanned them from CCM Magazine. If you want them, You can get em at Digital Witness Scans. They seem to be in high demand right now, I've had several orders so they're already ready.


I'm SO STUPID!!! Oh my gosh I'm retarded! ALL DAY I have been counting down the hours till the new episode of Smallville comes on and I missed it! It's my stupid cat's fault...She went out and got in a fight and tore her leg up, so we took her to the vet and they told us to go get one of those lampshade collars so she wouldn't lick it. So we went to my bro's baseball game, then went to pick up a collar at the pet store. Stupid me got started looking at the fish cuz mine are all eating each other. Then I had to get a plant cuz my stupid snail ate all of mine. I come home and Smallville's over in 5 minutes! Grrr....Now I can't watch it on Sunday cuz it's Easter and we're doing something...I dunno what. Plus, our VCR is weirded out and won't start recording at a certain time, so you have to actually BE there to push record....*sigh*...I'm mad...
Today I had to go buy my brother a present cuz his b-day's tomorrow. The only thing he wants is CDs and I can't just burn him one cuz he's already burned every one in the house, so I had to spend $20 on one. Then I gotta pay $50 for a domain and space for MAGICal. Luckily I have 3 baseball concession stands to work this week. That's 8-9 hours of work, but it's $60...But I'll prob'ly hit the mall this weekend. Plus there's a concert I wanna go to soon and it'll cost about $30...I wish I could get a job...I can't wait till I'm 16...
Speaking of birthdays...PLEASE go tell Danny happy birthday!!! There's only 2 notes in there. (Thank you Amy and Danny's cousin, Jordan.)
Oh yeah, everyone go buy Stacie Orrico's new CD. It's TOTALLY awesome!! I really like More to Life and Tight. They rock!! Also, check out Everyone if you like rock/worship music. They're awesome!!
Anyway...enough rambling.

Wow, for once I have nothing to say...I just thought I'd blog to let you know I'm still alive...Easter weekend is finally coming up so I have 4 days of catching up on sleep. Maybe I'll get together with my posse (Ben, Ben, Julie, Scott, Liz, Mel, Travis & Andy) and catch a movie or concert or something...Are there any good movies out? I can't think of any right now...Oh yeah, everyone go tell Danny happy b-day. There's only 2 notes right now, and I don't want him to feel unloved. :/
Well, I'm gonna go sleep now and hope my mom remembers to put my clothes in the washer after hers are done...I don't wanna have to go to school naked tomorrow...lol

Did you know you're one of the honored "Ze Great People" on sacred-hideaway.net? LOL
I do now...Thanks Victoria!


Do you like baseball? If so, whats your favorite team! (GO DBACKS! lol)
Ummm...I went to a rockies game last summer in Colorado when I was visiting my uncle and it was OK. The only thing was it was, like, 105 degrees and there was no roof on the place, so I spent half of the game in the bathroom where it was air conditioned...But I went back every once in awhile cuz the drunnk guys in front of us were hilarious. They had each had, like, 6 beers!
Also, last year my youth group went on a choir tour to Nashville and we sang the national anthem at a minor league game. That was really fun and the mascot was really funny. (He was hitting on all the girls in our choir!) Bleach was there too and that made it fun.
I was also suposed to go to a Reds game on September 11th but that obviously got cancelled...
So I guess you can say I don't mind baseball, but it's not my fav. But I don't really have a fav team cuz I don't watch often... My brothers are really into baseball and they play, so it gets kinda annoying hearing about it ALL THE TIME...lol


WOW! can you tell I'm talkative today? I kinda gave the l-o-n-g answer to whoever asked that question...:) You've just read the extent of my baseball experiences.
Does anyone know where I can find the winners of the pre-show at the Dove Awards last nite? They only did, like, 6 awards during the actual show and 42 during hte pre-show...If I can't find them, I'm gonna have to buy the thing on doveawardslive.com and I don't want to...

Wow that's a hard one....Ummm...graphic-wise I'd have to say Danielle and Michelle, Victoria & Val. But there's SO many other people out there that are incredible webmasters... When it comes to overall design, content, appeal and everything, I'd definately go with Rachael @ SOO. I wish I could make sites that pretty and interesting!!


Hey, sup? I found a new clique thing called totally. I went kinda crazy and did a lot of categories. The list is below under cliques...
Ummm...Not much goin on here. If anyone wants to make my life more interesting, PLEASE ask a bunch of questions!! Even if there're stupid...well, I really like stupid questions, so ask some!
You'll understand how bored I am when I say that I'm so bored I actually made COOKIES 2 days ago! I NEVER cook! I made 5 dozen and they must've have been really good cuz my family ate them all in 2 days. I wouldn't know if they were good...I didn't get any. I had the batter (yum!) but that's it. I think I'm gonna go make some more now...
