Enter your webmistress, stage right, jumping up and down excitedly:
I got my entries back! I got my entries back!!
Exit stage left.
Yes, it’s true, my archives are back! I found the file I had used to import my entries when I changed servers, and I just manually added on the last entries. That makes me happy. Yes, it’s probably a small thing, but I just feel more complete with everything I have written here and accessible, even if it’s only for my own benefit. Now I just have to reinstall my smilies, and my blog will be almost as good as new.
In other news, I need suggestions for “car-riding” songs for the Spring Burn. Kymberlie was nice enough to arrange this little exchange, and it really seems like it will be fun. Even though I don’t have a car. But who doesn’t like head-bobbing, foot-tapping, get-up-and-dance music? So, if anyone has any suggestions for me to add to the CD, just let me know! I like almost all kinds of music, so I want to try and put a nice variety on there…
And I just wanted to wish a Happy Belated Birthday to my most precious friend and sis Karibariboobear. Her birthday was yesterday, and I did actually get to call her and talk to her for a while, but I neglected to put it on here. So, go over there and wish her the bestest birthday ever!
I start my internship on Monday. No pay, but I think it will be a good experience for me to practice some office skills, as I have never had a job in an office before. All of my jobs have been jeans-preferred. Or jeans-required-if-you-care-about-your-clothes-at-all. :LOL: Plus it is in a cyber cafe, which I think is so neat, I had never even been in one of those before now. So it should prove to be very rewarding and interesting.

I decided to do my first RAofJ collaboration. I have been a member for a while, but never did one of the projects as of yet. Either nothing jumped out at me, or I just couldn’t find the time or energy. But this one struck me, so I decided to give it a go.
I chose the following quote as my kick-off point.
The cruelest lies are often told in silence. — Robert Louis Stevenson

I saw this over at Tracy’s blog, and I just had to re-share it. I agree with her, though, in that this doesn’t necessarily make the world “mad,” but it does put a whole new perspective on some things. And if anyone knows the origin of this quote, Tracy and I both need to know.
/*Edit*/ Once in a while I will actually read other people’s comments on their site when they have asked a question, as it has probably been answered. There were many speculations in Tracy’s comment box, one being that Charles Barkeley uttered the following quote, but the general consensus seems to be that it was originally coined by Chris Rock, with an additional part of the quote saying “and the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon.” /*End Edit*/
“You know the world’s gone mad when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America’s Cup, France is accusing the USA of arrogance and the Germans don’t want to go to war.”

Well, Here I am with a brand spanking new layout, which I SO hope everyone likes, because I am particularly proud of this one, and a brand spanking new blog to match. Although the blog part wasn’t intentional. I haven’t the faintest idea what happened, but somehow my Movable Type installation got corrupted, and no amount of beating my head against the wall was going to fix it. I couldn’t even export my entries properly, so I am going to have to find the time to manually archive the ones I saved and make them available again at some point. It’s not really a priority for me though. I am taking this as a lesson in letting go.
