Rock on!

2 July 2006 by kristarella

Feeling good today! I missed Fully SIC on Friday night which was heaps of a bummer and Laura said that she missed me! How sweet is that? I suddenly felt a lot better at about 10:30 or 11pm. I don’t know why but it was great to not feel sick anymore!

Yesterday I started a new blog template. Today I finished it! blossom template I can’t believe it only took me that long. It helps that I’d already encountered some of the IE problems so it didn’t take long to find the site I wanted that tells me how to fix it. I was also working off CSS I’d already written and just modified it. It’s only for Blogger at the moment so it will probably take me longer if I want to use it in wordpress and add in the PHP files. I used Mags name on the header because her new plum blossom tattoo inspired the theme, that’s easily changed though.

We went to the 21st last night. It was good fun. I got to chat to a bunch of people and have a play taking photos. Everyone was dressed up so that was cool. Gerry made the most amazing presentation. She made a movie to the song “Happy Birthday Helen”. I think it was done by taking photos at different points of writing messages on yellow paper and collaging pictures. It was so great and some of it was funny and I don’t think Helen had heard the song before cos she made a noise when it came to the chorus, “Happy birthday Helen…” I thought perhaps I could do something similar for Amy’s 21st. Obviously it’s not original now but it was such a cool present and really, what’s original these days anyway?

I should eat lunch since it’s well past lunch time and we have band practice. Doing the dishes wouldn’t go astray either… it’s never ending!

Don’t forget to visit my renter!
