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.

William left Saturday for his 10 week internship with Deloitte in Atlanta, Georgia 
Atlanta is about 5 hours from Florence, Alabama (where I’m currently living until July) so I won’t get to visit much. Y’all gotta keep me company… I’m going to be so lonely.
My personal web to-do list:
Bees — Let me know your suggestions for the new version. You can find the current suggestions at the BBS 
My Powerbook is acting up again. I’ve never heard of anyone having the amount of problems with an Apple computer as I have. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still Apple’s #1 fangirl, but these constant problems are getting ridiculous. I purchased an external hard drive about 2 months ago, so everything is backed up, but I still don’t like going through the process of reinstalling all the programs.
I had never really heard of Vera Bradley until I came to the university. Sophomore year my mom bought me the Miller Bag in Sherbet. Time passed and I didn’t purchase any other pieces. In July 2006, Sherbet was retired, so I was out of luck.
For Valentine’s Day, Will’s mom bought me a travel pouch in Pink Elephants. I hadn’t seen this pattern before, so I immediately fell in love. Alabama’s mascot is an elephant AND proceeds benefit breast cancer research.
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.
I had a wonderful lazy birthday! I woke up to a text message from one of my guy friends — I didn’t realize he knew when my birthday was! I continued to receive texts, calls, blog comments and Facebook messages throughout the day. The wishes made me feel special 
Last night, William took me to my favorite store in the world — a boutique called Private Gallery — and bought me my birthday present…
Do I have any fellow Maneki Neko lovers? I’ve admired them since I stumbled upon a fansite way back in the day. Last Halloween, I found one for sale at the fair and I just had to buy it. He’s a resilient little guy because he survived a toss by a drunken boy the night I bought him! Anyways, I found another one at a Chinese gift shop tonight. His arm is broken, so I got him for only $3!
First of all, I’m still working on the content pages. I promise they will be up asap! 
Oh, and I still plan to add a links section to the bottom of the main page.
Secondly, thank you all SO MUCH for the wonderful comments!
Thirdly, I don’t mean to brag, but I’d like to share some wonderful news that I received yesterday…
i somehow managed to break my computer again… and i’m really scared i lost everything. i should’ve learned to make backups on a regular basis, but there’s no use crying over spilled milk. i don’t know of anyone who has had as many problems with their powerbook as i have. i’m beginning to wonder if i’m cursed when it comes to computers… maybe i should change my major and go to school for another 6 years???
