Hello there, happy new year! I'm working on my website after putting it off for a really long time. And by putting it off, well, I mean that... I've been struggling to work on it because it's hard! Because it's new! So what I've decided to do is cut down to the bare minimum and figure out what it is I want from my website, and do those exact things. Like blogging.

I wanted to style the beginning part of this blog like the Deviantart entries I used to make when I was a kid. They don't really do that part any more though, it looks like. Sad! That's why I'm making my own website in the end.

All it took was some customizing, and I'm super happy with my website again! This looks great! The background is a piece I drew called 'Love and Everything,' which I made for a contest I didn't win. It was for an organization called 'People Spread Love' where the members write letters to people who are suffering. It's very wholesome. So for the picture I drew... kind of everything I could think of that I had or saw, from old pics and stuff. There's water bottles, stools, champagne, phones and cars... Because I love everything when I'm with my husband. I'll say more about this under the Original tab once I have it up and open, but I gotta do one thing at a time. And right now I'm blogging!

Argh. Just got hit with a pang of stress. Since I've been on break, I haven't really been thinking about work-school (see: Not schoolwork) except for in my dreams, and I got an email that they still need my immunizations records in order to sign me up for Spring Classes. Oh wait! Thank god for blogging. I was worried that meant I wouldn't be able to join my classes that start on January 6, but Spring isn't until... after that! These are winter classes! Hurray!

Not that I'm happy I don't have my immunization records. It's... hard not to blame my family for that one. I'm trying to do that less.

Speaking of. Had a nightmare last night that my brother drowned himself after I had a shouting match with my mother. Though it was dream logic, so you know, he was drowned face-down on a carpet... It's always drowning with him in my dreams. I was spooked at first, since I haven't talked to either of them in a while. But then tonight I had a cool dream. So I guess it's fine.

Maybe I should go back to dream logging? Then again, maybe not, since it tends to uh... make reality harder. I haven't had as many nightmares as I used to at all. I think part of that is beacuse I don't think about them as much as I used to.

Ok, blog looks pretty good now. Let's go over to Original and see what we can do. Wish me luck!
