Newness!

Well I got me a LJ finally. Weird. It's all communal and non-ad-like, very not like Geocities. Which was the last time I ventured out into the scary waters of fandom and general onlineness. Er. So I haven't figured out how to do those nifty little cut tags or anything. Oh wow! This client thing is so nifty! There's an easy little cut tag button! Wow. Still impressed.

So I finally keeled over and got this thing because of a silly little meme, gacked from anniesj.

( Personal info type thing )

Ok. That's all for today.

*growl*

Still trying to figure out how to use this thing. And am now annoyed because I couldn't go buy my books because apparently all stores close at 5 on Sunday. Why did I not know this? You'd think that after all the shopping I've done, I would have figured this out sometime. And then my prox somehow demagnetized itself or something so I couldn't get in my dorm. Stupid prox.

So I took this survey for someone's senior thesis on ads in women's magazines and how they affect body image, stuff like that. I don't know. It seems kind of silly to me. Not that I don't think body image isn't an important issue. Er. I mean. I think body image is an important issue. But I feel like these kinds of surveys and studies kind of trivializes it somehow? I don't know how much looking at skinny models affects me. I think looking at skinny people in malls wearing clothes I want to wear affects me a lot more. Because, models, not so much like real people to me. And I just like looking at ads because I like looking at pretty things. Yes, I'm superficial.

Second semester officially starts tomorrow, and I'm not excited at all. I feel like I should be, since this is my last semester of college and all, and I have interesting classes, but I'm just not. Maybe it's because I don't have any books to buy. I think mostly though it's my thesis. The closer to graduation, the closer the thesis deadline, and the more behind I get. I hate my thesis. I don't know why I can't just sit down and write some crap. The boy says I care so much about it and stress out so much about it being perfect that I can't even start outlining it. I think he's right, but I still don't know what to do about that. Well, I'm procrastinating more and watching Buffy. Almost up to Surprise! I think kita0610 is right. I'm highly influenced by the fact that I started watching around seasons 5/6.

( Charting Buffy obsession, slightly spoilery for Buffy S7 and Angel S5 )

And now perhaps I will watch more Buffy. Yay! I feel better and less depressed about school starting now.

So... confused...

Yes, so this whole LJ thing... they don't use things like normal HTML! I learned to code back in high school, when people used HTML 3.1 or something. None of this fancy style sheet stuff. I'm so confused. I can't even make my font less ugly! All I want is small, non-Times New Roman font. Is this too much to ask for?

I have conquered my LJ

Rusty HTML skills have been put to work, and my LJ now looks okay. Now I want background images and icons!
