Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 26-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.
My poor website! She’s been neglected for almost 4 months
Contributing reasons to my absence include Halo 3 (although I really haven’t played since May), reading, and school (I’m taking Physics this summer
). I also didn’t have my Powerbook for about 3 months, but Apple repaired and returned her yesterday!
I’m working on several projects at the moment (layout for Jays, button board for Charlene, MyQuilt Admin 3.0, etc.), so I’m putting the button rotation script on hold. I’ll probably release it sometime this fall, so please remind me
Mine and Will’s 5-year anniversary was June 26th, but both of us forgot
Will sent me a bouquet of beautiful flowers yesterday to compensate for his memory lapse
Last night, my parents and I attended the College of Engineering honors ceremony where I received a nice little plaque for my award
Sadly, I didn’t get any pictures because my camera battery died… I wanted to show off the cute dress I bought for the occasion!
After the ceremony, my parents took Will and me to our favorite Japanese restaurant
I filled up on sushi before the chef arrived at our hibachi, so I have an entire meal awaiting me in the fridge.
My V-Day was great! Yesterday morning around 7am, Will surprised me with a teddy bear that is as big as me!

Later in the day, he brought me some tulips…

…and an itty bitty bear…

I was so excited because I’ve always wanted tulips (my favorite flowers) but never received any. Last night, Will and me ate at Cypress Inn (a local fancy restaurant) with Al and Liz
The grilled jumbo shrimp was amazing! I even had leftovers for lunch today.
Sunday was our three-year anniversary… too bad William is still in D.C.
He did send me some purty flowers … the prettiest I’ve ever received!

I’ve been working on the website for the U of A Philosophy Department non-stop. It’s a work in progress, but you can catch a sneak-peak of it here.
Batman Begins is really good… 5 out of 5, in my opinion. It’s not silly at all, like some comic book adaptions. I hope to see War of the Worlds this weekend. I’m sure I’ll love it because Steven Spielberg can do no wrong in my eyes
Oh yeah, I made a myspace.com account… feel free to add me as your friend.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hope yours was as good as mine. I have the best boyfriend on the planet! Will surprised me with a dozen pink roses and a Whitman’s Sampler (my favorite chocolates). He also tied two heart balloons to my car while I was in class. Talk about romantic! This marks our third Valentine’s Day together.



Pixie is growling and barking at my balloon right now, it’s really funny
Other than the fact that it never snows, I absolutely love the weather here in the south. I wore a tshirt to class today. It felt like early summer outside. I wish that Will and I didn’t have so much homework because we would’ve taken Pixie for a walk in the park this afternoon. Maybe Spring and Summer will come early this year!
Sorry everyone for the recent downtime! I didn’t realize that my domain name had expired
I’ve been so bored the past few days without my site.

Saturday was wonderful! William and I celebrated our two-year anniversary
We drove to Birmingham, AL to eat at a Japanese restaurant called Stix, which was excellent. We both ordered steak & chicken. I love Japanese food! Next time, we’re ordering sushi as well. I told William since we eat Japanese food so often, we have to learn to use the chopsticks… that’s my new goal.
I would like everyone to meet my new pet guinea pig, CoCo
She was my other anniversary surprise from William. I wanted a kitten, but I can’t afford one right now. The pet deposit at my apartment is $300 plus $10 added to the rent each month
I decided to get a cavy (guinea pig) instead of a hamster or a ferret because the people at the pet shop told me that cavies smell much better. CoCo is very loving; however, she is quite skittish. We’re still trying to adjust to one another.

Anyways, Will and I are watching Rocky II and my laptop battery is dying, so I better go. Thanks for the comments: tuan, Christine, Daynah, Sanne, NavahX, Anjana, leila, christine anne, Kanu, Emma, Dayna, Raph, Emma, Mike, and natasja.
