HTML hates me

So inspired by the new look of my LJ, I decided it would be a great idea to design and code my own webpage, which has been sitting around and moldering. Plus, I want to stick all my extra icons somewhere. However, the entire table thing isn't working, half of my style sheet works and half of it doesn't, and in general, it would look VERY LOVELY if HTML would simply fricking cooperate!!!! Grrrrrrrrr.

So I ended up banging my head against the table, and there is no webpage. And there was no thesis editing either. HTML is the demon to end all demons. My stupid HTML table refuses to let me make a seamless image, because I haven't learned how to do image maps yet, so there are these tiny lines of background showing through! And it only happens on the very bottom and possibly the top of the images, and not on the sides. I have no idea why it's doing this, because I set the thing on no cellspacing and no cellpadding but it is not listening to me. And I can't figure out how to make one of the cells on the table scroll. I'm not even sure that's HTML-able, but I think you can do it with a style sheet maybe?

Argh.

And I don't want to use frames because then I can't set the webpage in the middle of the IE window. Plus, no pretty border. Now I've gotten myself completely worked up again and I feel like pounding my head against the wall. Again. Or the computer.

Buffy 7x18 Dirty Girls

I'm finally reading the first three Vampire Diaries books (in the middle of the second one right now) and goodness, the Salvatore brothers are awesome! I didn't think I'd like Stefan very much based on the fourth book because he seemed all like Angel and mopey. Which is fine, and I'm not character bashing, because I do like Angel. I just tend to be attracted to bad attitudes more. But Stefan, definitely cool.

The Google lady called back after receiving the written questionnaire thing, and she says it'd be great if I could fly to California sometime to meet the team. Now I'm confused, because I told her I wasn't going to be available job-wise until around July, what with graduation and family stuff and all that, but I should have enough time in May to fly down there and "meet the team." But I don't even know if this is like a second round interview or a they're probably going to hire me if I'm not a complete psycho type thing. I hope hope hope hope it's the second, because I suck so much at interviews. And then I'd have a job, and I could tell my mom, and I could stop worrying, and life would be lovely.

I can't make myself reread my thesis, mostly because I hate going over my own work. So many glaring errors and stupid mistakes, ugh. But I must do this. I woke up today and realized with a sinking sense of horror that the thing was due exactly two weeks from now! And I still have to edit all of it and write a conclusion! Ugh.
