Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Bee of the Week

~ I promise I’m not dead ^^ I am just too tired to blog right now. I have a ton to talk about, so I will blog as soon as I get up in the morning… goodnight everyone! ~

Bee of the Week ~ Thanks Qbee I am currently Bee of the Week at the Quilting Bee :spin: Wow, I am very honored. To tell you the truth, it makes me feel a lot better about my site….

I applied for something a few days ago, and was rejected. I know this sounds very cocky of me, but I’m touchy about these things. I started thinking that maybe my site wasn’t that good :getsad: Ok, enough of that! Who wants to hear me cry about my problems?? hehe Anyways, I receive a ton of positive feedback from my visitors… that’s a huge confidence boost! On top of that, I realized today that I have had over 100,000 visitors to my site. One-hundred thousand! :shocked: That’s a bunch of people! (I bet half of those were my visits though lol) Anyways, I wasn’t asking for pity, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

A beer truck was hijacked this morning in Birmingham, Alabama hahaha I heard that on the local news this afternoon and immediately called William… is that not hilarious? I could imagine some of my friends being the perpetrators in that crime… the things people will do for alcohol. I also got this picture in an email a few weeks ago. I thought it was pretty funny, too.

I am really sorry if I haven’t returned your comments or, to my dailies, visited your sites over the past few days… like I said in the previous post, Peter and I have been busy working on a new project. I can’t wait for its debut! About the javascript error — I think Icy hit the nail on the head (lame expression, I know)… except its my Blogsnob ad that occasionally causes it, rather than Provance. Come to think of it, I had figured that out once before :confused: … just goes to show you how absent-minded I am.

Before I forget, please check out my newest link exchange: Ashley

Well, I never make it to class on time in the mornings because I always oversleep. I oversleep because I am always on the computer until the wee-hours of the morning. I’m gonna hit the sack relatively early tonight :sleep: Nominations for the contest end tomorrow… so if you are interested in submitting a site, please hurry and get your vote in! And, for those inquiring minds out there, the caps feature is disabled… by a simple code “text-transform:lowercase” added to my stylesheet :) Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!

Thanks to my beloved commenters: raye, Allie, eftalia, emma, Noora, arwa, Ashley, xuan, Icy, AMber, Kaylee, gemini, and Cooky!

    OMG, that’s hilArious.. hijacked beer truck, lol. i can imagine that happening, so many drunks these days.. i thought about yelling and beating to get some, but hijacking? lmfao. maybe you should set your alarm to wake up, and turn it up really loud. then move it away so you can’t hit the button! works for me,lol

    Wow, thanks for the comment, you have a gorgeous site! I wouldn’t disagree with the quilting bee staff about their new member of the month because you’re obviously a very talented pixel artist.

    I noticed that one of your dailies is Angelique from angelic-network.com. Do you happen to know where she’s gone to? the site is dead and she seems to be gone completely. I run her official fanlisting and I wonder whether I should keep it up or not because she is gone = / Any ideas?

    i’m not really into football either, but I’ve been here long enough to know that if you don’t go to the AU/bama game than you’re a looooser :-d, and I don’t want to be that so I’ll be there, and maybe we will see each other. later.
