Closing time

Current mood: Artistic, I tell you!
Listening to: Midnight Lullaby by Tom Waits

Okay, so I thought about it. The thing with my writings.
As I wrote in my previous post, I had an eager desire to share them here on blogger.
So I've actually gone and done exactly this. I've created another blog, just for my poetic ramblings.
Just not for everyone to see! *woohoo*

This decision actually solved everything. I get to "publish" my writings, but at the same time control completely who gets to see them.

As you've might or might not have noticed, I'm writing this at 7 in the morning. This is due to the fact that I wanted a different layout for my new blog, rather than just copying this one. And when I wrote layout, instead of design, I chose my words wisely, since the design in itself, with colors and shit, are the same. B u t. Whereas this is a 2-column blog, I've chosen to keep my rambling blog a 1-column piece. Which also results in no form of personal information being displayed there. There isn't even an archive 'menu'! This is due to the fact that I want to keep it as notebook-ish as possible, with my lyrics in center. Oh, and the reason I began this rant - I'm awake right now, because I'm shit with CSS.
At first I tried to find a pre-made layout. But I couldn't find anything that suiting my mood. Except the Nightingale template. Unfortunately, this template is only optimized for the 'classic blogger'. And when I tried switching to that old 'platform' everything looked terrible.
So, no thank you, sir. Or, as Calvin put it in Itty Bitty Titty Committee: "Thank you ma'am, I'll have another." rrauw.

Anyway, this means I sat out to create my own, very simple, layout. Which also means I had to work out how to handle CSS. And let me tell you right now - I have very little experience with this. Nonetheless, it all worked out in the end, a n d I've already posted some of the things I've written ^^ So all's good, y'all. Haha.

One thing that has emerged from this, though, is my great desire to learn much more CSS. Through the past few hours, were I've been annoyed by my inexperience, I couldn't help but think, at the same time: "Wau, what if I 'spoke' CSS as a second language? T h a t would be awesome!" So I'll definitely be taken this into consideration, when chosing what I'm going to study next.

Phew, this was some blog entry, eh?

(oh, and ps. I'm so in love with this girl, and psst. her name's liv! aaand .. she's hotter than tea! and by tea, I of course mean YOUR GIRLFRIEND!)
