oh god what is my problem

[themegaloo]

I know I know, updating again so quickly, sorry, ignore me?

So I basically started this layout business when I woke up-- a little later, actually. More around 7 pm (yes, nocturnal, hi. I wake up around 4, usually). I played with it, figured out the codes, decided I love Smooth Sailing because its CSS is just SO easy to understand (carriep63's breakdown helped me when I first started playing with it, now I just take the default codes and run with them because it's so LOGICAL) even when you're trying to do weird shit and the comm for it is awesome in a major way.

So I got it working and looking pretty good and was all proud while RPing over at mallowmateys and was thinking "Hey! That was way easy!" And then RPing died down. And then I got bored. And then I stared at it and stared at it and went "Maybe it could be BETTER..." so I started fiddling again, changed the background, adjusted the borders, added some brushes, padded the navbar (which is really a list) and changed all the page text. Added hearts because it was all cute and stuff and I felt like it. Then got bored again.

Figured "Why do I have to be friends only to have a nifty place to comment? That's not fair!" Then discovered that the nifty "Guestbook" feature in Smooth Sailing doesn't actually even show up on your journal other than a nifty "Guestbook" link in the navbar/list. Decided to use the welcome post instead! Put up another little graphic which matches in a way and went YAY! Changed all the usericons and commicons to hearts too. I couldn't stop. I HALVED my tag list, which is still ridiculous. I started googling for other fun things to do.

Now I want to know if CSS and Layers are mutually exclusive or if I use a custom layer based predominately on the default and layer my CSS over it if it could make it even better. Things like limiting the tags displayed to those only used more than once, tags in a drop down menu, all SORTS of fun features. I bet it could work. But I'm still gun-shy of S2 after the first few times I played with it in Opal yearrrs ago. Css is just so much more LOGICAL to me. But I bet it could work. It's 7:30 am though so I'm not messing with that right now and I probably won't when I wake up because HOPEFULLY the layout OCD will be gone by then.

Yeah. THE POINT IS, that I'm basically in the craziest OCD spell right now. I stay up until my mom leaves in the morning so I go eat breakfast and talk to her. Today I ate a few hours ago because I was le starving and so when I went down there...I took one look at the sink and all the dishes my sisters had left and started scrubbing. Who DOES that?! Who at age 22 just out of undergrad, at least. I can't HANDLE dirty dishes anymore! I HAVE TO CLEAN THEM. Not just when I'm being OCD but every night after dinner, at my old apartment when I visit. They must. be. cleaned. Cannot handle. Not on. Clean. Now. UGH.

Problem is, I'm out of things to obsess over. And I'm wide awake.

WOE IS ME. I NEED TO GO READ FANFICTION. ;_;

Main point is-- if you looked at my journal last night when I posted, look again. It's fantasically BETTER now. Because I'm OCD, nocturnal and bored.

GOOD TIMING!! I had like...ten minutes and then my dad was like: "LOL I'M GONNA MAKE A PHONE CALL!!" And I was like: "Fine I'll BE ON TIME."

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

FORCED ON TIME-NESS! :O but yeah, it worked out pretty well!

[bite2death.livejournal.com]

I had a doctor's appointment too so I got to wake up a LIIIITTLE later too! *_* Not that you know anything about waking up later.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I know that I'm about to go back to sleep and wake up later because I'm only awake because my sisters are packing and needed stuffs? :D?

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha! Oh poor you. No time for sleep. Go back to sleeeeep. Sleeeeeeep! I'm only on for another fifteen minutes or so as well. LIFE IS SO HARD.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

STEALING YOUR GUESTBOOK IDEA!! Why so cute, layout. Why so cute.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

HEEE. STEAL AWAY!!

[knockout-mouse.livejournal.com]

Pretty! <3

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[meggygurl.livejournal.com]

See. I am too lazy to deal with much of the layout part itself. I prefer spending hours on the banner. :D

But yours is awesome!

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I'm not really good at banners so I always keep that part simple. I AM good at the coding, so that's what I play with. :D

Thanks!!

[fursona.livejournal.com]

I THINK THE LINKS ON THE LEFT COULD USE SOME TWEAKING....

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

....how so?

[fursona.livejournal.com]

... that's just me being obnoxious.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

you're on there, woman, stfu. >P

[bamfmittens.livejournal.com]

It does look a lot better! *_* ♥

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

I am much happier with it!!

[bamfmittens.livejournal.com]

I think the bg colors/pattern is a better match than the other one. It lightens it up a lot. :D

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It looks so much happier now. *_*
