Thanks everyone for voting!

*sigh* I have an Economics test tomorrow afternoon and I haven’t even started studying. (It’s almost 2 am, mind you ) The material is just so dang boring that I cannot bring myself to begin. I also have another CS project due Tuesday morning. I started working on it the day it was assigned, but haven’t worked on it since. Weekends are great, but I get nothing accomplished.

I must force myself to study… looks like it’s gonna be an all-nighter. Thank goodness I got plenty of sleep this weekend! Thanks: Anneke, Chette, Dionne, leila, manda, Michelle, Renee, Shelli, Tarah, and tuan.

Learned a Halo 2 cheat… let me know if you’re interested

The conflict has been resolved! She took down all the stolen/hotlinked images. Thanks everyone for the support. Thanks also for the encouraging comments: Anneke, Bobbi, Brigitte, caitie, Christine, Dionne, Emma, Jenny, Joni, Kitten, Lauren, Maggie, Nick, Rach, Rain, Rebecca, Sam, Stacey, tuan, Valerie, and Yajaira.

A Jack Russell Terrier pup wandered inside my backyard today. William and I played with her all afternoon… we even took her for a ride! I wanted to keep her for myself, but I knew that she probably lived somewhere in the neighborhood She didn’t look lost and she was quite healthy. I was sad to see her go because she was so sweet.

Does anyone know how I can remove devldr16.exe from my computer? I think it’s causing problems on my desktop PC (running Windows ME). I can’t locate it in the registry in order to delete it. I disabled it in MSCONFIG, but it re-enabled itself when I rebooted my computer. It must be some sort of spyware/adware… I hope it’s not a virus!

I have a new favorite dessert… coconut pie! My dad dropped my first pie on the floor, so he bought me another one last night… it’s delicious! Speaking of pie, I think I’m gonna grab another slice.

Ana - new domain
Kitty - new domain
Stacey - wrote her own blog script!
Bobbi - love her layout
Elle - new layout

I really don’t know how I survived before my cable internet. Thank goodness my parents just signed up for DSL… no more dial-up for me! I just have to wait a couple of days for the modem to arrive I finally made Paislea a page on Dogster.Com. I want to add more pics of her, but I left my USB cable for my camera in my apartment. My best friend, Rach, also made pages for her pups, Bonnie and Joey, and for her boyfriend’s pup, Maggie May.

Yesterday, I got another new hairstyle… it’s straight (again) and short! My hair hasn’t been this short in ages. I like it, it’s low-maintenance I will post pictures, soon.

So, who’s been keeping up with the Olympics? I only watch Women’s Gymnastics, but I missed the team competition However, I remembered to watch the All-Around competition last night. I’m so glad that the American won Gold and the Chinese won Bronze! USA, Romania, and China are my favorite gymnasts — they are all so talented. *sighs* I’ve always wanted to be a gymnast. I can at least do a round-off backhandspring! Probably not now, since I’m so out of shape.

Well, I had my first brush with a hardcore copycat/hotlinker She even had the audacity to accuse ME of copying HER in my guestbook. All those images from my Bliss skin are linked DIRECTLY from my website. I will report her to her host if she doesn’t comply to my wishes — not for stealing my images, but for stealing my bandwidth!! Kitten sent me a cute gift to ease my anger.

UPDATE: I’ve contacted her host, Bravenet.Com, and requested immediate action. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved soon…

I am the owner of http://www.bubblessoc.net hosted by http://www.netrillium.com. The young lady mentioned above has placed several of my copyrighted images on her website without consulting me or asking permission for their use. Futhermore, the images are hotlinked directly from my website, therefore wasting my bandwidth for which I pay monthly.My original images are located at the following URL:

http://www.bubblessoc.net/index.php?newskin=1

Please take immediate action so that I will not run into a bandwidth issue with my host. I’ve contacted the owner of the offending website numerous times, but she has not complied with my wishes. Thanks for your help. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Anyways, here’s a few notable plugs before bed: Sanne got a new domain, Renay made a new layout, and Dodo revamped her site (and LINKED ME!! :woot:). There’s also a new layout and BBS at the Q*Bee. Kimi is so talented… I envy her pixel abilities! *sighs again*

Sorry for not posting all week. I’ve started working on a new project… a fanfiction I like to write stories almost as much as I like to write HTML code. The subject of my fanfiction is secret for now, but I’ll let everyone know what it’s about when I finish it.. if I do finish it…

Oh my goodness gracious… take a look at my CS project that is due TONIGHT! How crazy is that?? I don’t even understand the directions, which is not a good sign.

I’m obessessed with checking my referrals, I check them like 10 times a day. It’s always nice to see what lovely sites link to my page! I was delighted to learn that I was linked on Margaret’s amazing website and that Jem considered BubblesSOC her 3rd favorite website I’m also amused by my search engine referrals. Someone googled John Kerry T-shirt because i can’t take another 4 years and found my website. That person DEFINITELY came to the wrong place I bet he/she left in a hurry.

I changed the Navigation bar on my DoodleBlog skin from letters to words *points above* Please let me know if you run into a problem or if something just doesn’t look right. Also, I would love to hear what you think of the new look, because I’m torn between the two. (Thanks to Lisa for her feedback in my previous entry.)

I received 2nd place in the Qbee’s Best Basket Contest… thanks to all who voted for me! This has turned out to be a super-long post, so I’m going to end it here. Thanks to all my commenters: Chette, Christine, Katy, leila, Lisa, MJ, Nagaki, Nikki, Sam, and tuan.

Please rate BubblesSOC

I found the most unexpected email in my inbox last night. Emma made me a FANLISTING! I’m quite flattered. If you like my website, please join! I also received a Creative Patch award from the Qbee, a Friendship Award from Chette, and sweet comments from Emma, Lisa, Mar, Sanne, Melissa, Mitu, Ana, Christine, Nagaki, tuan, Salome, Maggie, Angelique, and Kara… I feel so loved! Thank you so much everyone. I was sad earlier, so those things really brightened my day.

Not too much to blog about… life has been pretty boring lately. I went out on the river again today. The water was a bit murky, so I didn’t swim much The weather was beautiful, however. I love the river… it’s so relaxing! I’m working on a summer tan and the river beats laying out beside the pool anyday Right now, my pool is inaccessible since it has a HUGE hole in it. I don’t know when my parents will get around to fixing it… hopefully before the summer is over!

Rachael’s boyfriend, Michael, got a new Shih Tzu puppy named Maggie May… she is adorable!! I played with her all yesterday afternoon. Last night, we went to see Mean Girls. It was a cute movie, but not as funny as I expected. I think Lindsey Lohan is pretty. Sorry for this totally random entry, I’m half asleep right now Time for bed… toodleloo!

Only 2 days until I can finally complete my LOTR dvd collection

School is FINALLY over and summer break is FINALLY here! First of all, thanks to my 20 lovely commenters: Ana, Chette, Elea, Jem, Jenny, Jillian, Joanna, Joni, kitsune, Melissa, Michelle, Mike, Natasha, Sam, Sanne, tuan - I’m sorry if I haven’t replied to your comment… I’ve had finals this past week.

Anyways, I’m going out of town until Tuesday, so I won’t be blogging probably until Wednesday. However, feel free to leave me lots of comments Finals were okay, but as I expected, my grades aren’t that good. But it’s alright because they aren’t that bad either!

I gotta go run some errands before we leave for the beach. Angelique gave me the sweetest gift - a Virtual Hug! (below) Have a good weekend everyone.

Natasja is back, and she bought a stuffed pink octopus… I’m jealous!

School is almost out, then I will return to regular posting. In the meantime, check out Nadine’s, Peter’s and Jem’s new layouts. Also, Leila’s new skins

Here’s a few updates I wanted to report: My website was “X”ed for the layout, Ruth gave me a gift, I wrote a new plugboard script, added a birthday list, survey, and quiz. I’m sure I’ll think of more later, but that’s all for now. Don’t forget to add a caption to the Caption Challenge.

I have to go finish studying for Philosophy now Of course, thanks to my 35 lovely commenters: Peter, Sanne, Christine, Nadine, Luka, tuan, Joni, Brigitte, Kara, ruth, myPrints, tuan, Jenny, kir, Melissa, kimi, natasja, Chette, kitsune, Tiffany, Amber, ania, Jem, britt, and Tina. Have a nice day!

Eeek! It’s been 4 days since my last entry Once this semester is over I will have ample time to update my site/blog, so please don’t lose interest! I’ve actually brainstormed a couple of ideas for some new content … maybe I can add them by this weekend … who knows! I uploaded a script that lets visitors plug their birthdays but I’ve yet to configure it for my skins. I plan to add pictures of my room/apartment to the Me section. Earlier this week I found out that my Herman the Robot fanlisting was approved, so I will start work on that soon. Perfection still needs a new layout, also. So much to do, so little time! And that’s not including all the school work that I have to finish before the end of the semester! Feel sorry for me…

Commenters: Please accept my deepest apologies for not returning the favor over the past week. As you can tell, I’m extremely busy right now. Once things calm down a bit I will try my best to return your comments ASAP! [By the way, thanks to my recent commenters: Anjana, Chette, Christine, Katie, kitsune, Linze, Melissa, Peter, Sanne, and Tuan]

Saturday night, my friends and I went to a party. I actually remembered to take my camara this time and managed to get a few snapshots. Due to obvious reasons, the pictures are not that good, but I added them to the Album anyway For those who asked, here’s a picture of my first perm.

Bee sure to search for 2 Qbee Spring Eggs hidden amongst my subpages. I feel that I’m forgetting to mention something, but it’s way past my bedtime Goodnight everyone.

Somehow I’ve managed to consume almost all of my disk space on my server. I have a hostee moving in soon (yay!), so I have to do some spring cleaning to get rid of pointless stuff. I installed a Radio Blog yesterday — that’s what ate up all of my space. Each song is approximately 3 megabytes!! It’s still a cool lil feature, so I’ll keep it for a while.

Laziness is like a disease that ruins your GPA. I didn’t go to a single class today, forgot about the Spanish Club meeting (extra credit points), and missed my Spanish tutoring. I didn’t wake up until 1 pm However, I did end up going to my 2 o’clock class yesterday (and found some toliet paper hiding in the top of my closet!!). It was such a beautiful day today… I can’t believe I wasted it sleeping.

I’m sitting on my balcony while I write this blog… it’s so relaxing!! I don’t have any patio furniture yet, so I’m having to sit on a blanket over the concrete. It isn’t as comfortable as the sofa, but it’s just too enjoyable outside to pass up!

Believe it or not, I received a really good review from 6:57 PM Reviews. I tried to correct some of the noted mistakes last night, but I didn’t get to all of them. In other news, I’m hosting the Q*Bee Topsites (along with the other hostee who will be moving in soon). If you’re a Q*Bee member, go join!

Mmmm… someone’s grilling steaks. I’m gonna go beg William to buy me dinner. Thanks: Mariely, anh, Maggie, Yajaira, and Valerie… have a good evening!

→ Cute bee boots.

I received 2nd place for my Quilt Page design I was pleasantly surprised because I never win anything hehe. Thanks to everyone who voted for me.

One of my friends asked me to design a webpage for his fraternity. I told him I’d give it a shot… This will be quite a challenge for me since I’m sure the boys wouldn’t be too happy with a pink and purple pixellated layout I’ve never designed a “serious” layout, but I think that a clean, css design would be appropriate. Besides, I need the cash. I haven’t been shopping in forever and I’m purse-deprived!

My English midterm is tomorrow afternoon and it’s important that I make a good grade on it. I need to study but I don’t feel well I’ve been sick this entire semester, so I’m finally going to the doctor this weekend.

I think I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle last semester. I never slept… and I mean that literally. I don’t think that my habits have improved, either. My body is completely exhausted and my sleep cycle is screwed up. I sleep all the time (mostly during the day) but I’m still constantly worn out. The bad thing is that my exhaustion is affecting my grades. I have a pretty good GPA right now, and I don’t want to ruin it by not attending class. Anyways…

Way to go, LOTR - 11 Oscars and a clean-sweep! It’s about time for a movie like that to win Best Picture Well, time to study. Thanks for your comments: Xuan, Annabelle, Ria, Andrea, MAriel … they always brighten my day! And SPARTICUS - you’re a n00b.
