Damn you, UPS!
So I ordered some sneakers the other day, a nice pair of Converse One-Stars from a web site called American Athletics that not only carried them (they're really hard to find) but also had them on sale for $35. They're exactly like the shoes I had my last year of high school, except navy instead of black and not completely worn through. I knew the sneakers I wear all the time now were falling apart, and that's why I went through with ordering these new ones, but now that I have more on order I find myself scrutinizing my current ones and finding more holes and seperating rubber than I realized. So naturally, with my eagerness to get my shiny new One-Stars, UPS came today while I was out engaging in our traditional Wednesday geekery, and Graham and I will be out most of the day tomorrow. DAMN YOU, UPS!
I know there's been a lot involving me going on elsewhere on the internet this week, but I think all that really needs to be said has been said on Walky's LiveJournal, so you can read about it there. Apparently I ruined some guy's life by not dating his friend 8 years ago, and his life still revolves around it. To the point where he and some friends harassed some poor girl on the highway in Baltimore a couple months ago because they thought she was me, which mostly creeps me out because the story implies that they know when my birthday is. Psycho stalkers are apparently the price of being a not-unattractive girl in a geekdom. He is also obsessed with Walky, but A) not for the hyper-sexist serial killer reason he hates me, and B) I haven't seen any sign that he's gone so far as to memorize his birthday.
I've also been busily working on my web site, which is part of why I haven't been more involved in the online discussion of my pet lunatic. I realized a couple weeks ago that the only part of my web site that was actually updated at all anymore was this, the blog, so I decided it only made sense to just move the darn thing to the main page and get rid of the quasi-psuedo-news section. To do this, though, I also have to incorporate Blogger's code into the site and make it into a template, and I sorta want to spiff up the main page a little, so I've been doing a lot of messing around with HTML and figuring out more advanced code than the basics I used for my current main page. You can see progress at trixter.fateback.com/newblog.html, and of course I'm updating it as I go. As of now, I'm just using the old header graphic as a fill-in for the one I'll be making incorporating some art from my awesome friend Jake, and I realize the color for the right sidebar needs to be scooted over a little. Other than that...I'm just hemming and hawing on the colors a lot. It's getting close to done, I just have to make some actual decisions.
