all better.
You know how you never get down on your knees beside the bed to pray unless things are REALLY bad?
Today was one of those days where I slid down the hallway on my knees until I hit the side of the bed and screamed, “GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!” palm to palm with fingers interlaced.
When I broke up with blogger, I might have been a tad bit on the cocky side. Blogger got his revenge today when the shit hit the fan and I had NO idea what to do.
Phil helped me set up randomandodd with WordPress. When I asked him what I could do to repay him, he said, “Pay it Forward.” I thought, “sounds good…I’ve been helping people with their blogs for a long time and maybe this was my ‘forward’ part.” I had karma points building up. Just in case I didn’t have enough stored up, I decided to do Von Kranki’s website (which, yes…I haven’t uploaded yet…but it looks REALLY good).
So back to the shit hitting the fanith. I freaked out this morning when my website decided it was going to underline itself and then drop the sidebar to the bottom of my blog. I knew that SOME people can’t see the side bar (because they use IE and not Firefox…and that is more of a personal problem and they need to come to grips with letting go of IE on thier own *cough* susie) but the majority of the people can…but this whole underlining and no background thing was just CHEAP looking!
It was funny at first because I thought I could fix it. I thought, “If I find the right template it will work itself out.” and then there is that moment when you realize, “Oh shit, I can’t fix this…and I am STUCK WITH UGLY FOR THE REST OF MY DAMN LIFE!” and so I prayed…to…well…an internet God of sorts.
And you know what God said? God Saidith, “You Useith The Wrong Tags.” and he showed me where I went wrong in my evil ways. I say EVIL ways because it happens to be the stupid post that I mock my beautiful friend, Lisa in.
I did learn a lot in the whole process though:
1. I can’t fix everything.
2. Men are important in my life. I will never make it as a lesbian.
3. I know how to upload new templates to my wordpress.
4. Tags with U in them…not good. Don’t use them.
5. If you mock your friends, you will have to pay the price.
6. You all come here WAY-HAYYYY too much because some of you saw all 49 different template changes.
7. I don’t deserve my degree.
8. When I panic…I laugh a lot.
9. When I panic…I blame Vanilla Ice and Gwen Stefani.
10. There are really nice guys out there and I will be sending like 157 boxes of Pop Tarts and Rice Krispie Treats to him….and I promise to pay it forward. again.
I had to delete Kara’s Happy Birthday post, because I suck and probably used some God fobidden “U” in there. I think I did. Yeah. Guess who isn’t perfect? Guess who had to ask for help? ME.
Alright, I’m going to lay down with that sick child I have home today.
