Okay.. So I still suck at updating this thing. I had a theory that if my blog looked prettier, I might be more inclined to post. So I’m trialing a few wordpress themes. AND, I have to say… WordPress, your themes are shit. And I don’t understand CSS and whatnot so I have no idea how to make a blog prettier than the default settings.

Go me.

So anyway. First there is the dilema of an Ugly Blog. It’s bothering me, really. I considered starting fresh on another platform, only to realise that every platform/blog hosting thing has ugly defaults. I tried In Vain to understand the CSS whatsit stuff, and Failed. In glorious fashion. For a good ten minutes last week my blog looked like the blogosphere had thrown up all over it. Trust me, it was a hot mess.

Then I have to wonder… if my blog were more aesthetically pleasing… I’d still be the same boring person I was before my blog got Fierce, and my entries would still be as SMASHING as this one, the only thing in my favour would be that it Looked Good. And my secret hope was that maybe that would make people stick around and grow to love my clumsyness.

I also fail at posting either pictures OR post-its… which was the basic premise of this to start with.

Although I can share this picture with you. In the grand tradition of Family Dorkyness… my neice spent most of Easter not eating the chocolates, but tossing them aside in favour of placing the bright pink gift bag on her head.
Like So:

Placing bags and such on your head is apparently a fast growing tradition…
Which I have lovingly continued in such fashion…
And encouraged friends to embrace..
As you can see… sometimes their results are better than mine.
Even when the bag doesn’t quite make it to your head, there’s still fun to be had..

And… now I know you’re all wondering… where did such a tradition start? Well.. let me tell you.. Not all that long ago, while on my Whirlwind Tour of the USofA, we visited a little place called Dallas. In Dallas, there is a restaurant called “Dicks Last Resort” and the premise of the restaurant is that the staff are rude to you and that they give you hats with rude phrases on them. Like so:

I kind of hope my neice never carrys on the tradition of hats announcing herself as a “porn star” though.
