Bruce getting into the partying spirit.

Look at this guy getting his party on!

Hehe–can you guess it’s my birthday today?

No, I don’t have any photographs just yet for the past… seven days or so. Why, you ask? Because I want to wait until I get all of the photographs uploaded, and since most of them are on my camera-phone (yeah, I suck), I have to wait until I can find the USB card reader thing that will let me get those pictures onto my computer without having to pay any money. So, everybody has to wait. I’ve got some really interesting snapshots, though. Ones people will like. Ones that I like, anyway.

As for the layout, you’ll notice I’ve changed it. Given that we’re now firmly into winter (and even coming to the end of it, though we’ll probably still have a month or three of snow up here in Canada), I figured that still having a fall layout was a bit behind the times. So I’ve changed it to a more patriotic one… one that also makes me think of camping in the summer, which is something that pleases me greatly.

Do you see the Canadian currency? Yeah, it’s great, isn’t it? And the maple leaf on the bottom. It’s also a very clean layout, but it’s clean without being too boring. The only issue I had with it at first was that the text was too small for me to see on my boyfriend’s computer without wearing my glasses. And because I’m lazy and I don’t like feeling obliged to wear my spectacles, I fiddled around with the stylesheet and now the font size starts one size bigger. Oh, and I made the line-height difference more obvious, because I like having a bit of a double-spaced feeling to my writing (I find it reads better when the words aren’t crowded vertically–don’t you?).

But yes… because there are no pictures, I figured I at least needed to update everybody on something at least. Since I’ve finally decided to write blog posts more often now, I figured it would be on what I did today (which wasn’t very interesting and was mostly involved with this website, alas).

Ooh… I’ve also update the Archives page (check it out… I’m proud of myself). It now lists months, and when you click on a month, it’ll drop down into post titles, organized by dates. I find it a lot more organized than the stupid Archives page that WordPress offers, which basically just lets you navigate every single post in a month. Stupid.

Other than that, I haven’t done much today. I cleaned my apartment up a bit, so it’ll smell really nice when I get back, but I still need to vacuum the sheets (to rid them of Brucie-fur) to feel like it’s fully clean. Oh, and I’m planning on reorganizing it slightly and then also doing my laundry. That’ll probably all get done within the next couple of days, sandwiched between snuggling with Bruce, snuggling with Reed, and reading the next Star Wars book in the Yuuzhan-Vong related installments that I’ve been devouring lately.

Life’s pretty good.

I’m having a spot of trouble writing this entry because every time I start getting into typing, Bruce Wayne decides that I should be petting and snuggling him instead of doing silly things like paying attention to my computer screen. Oh well.

Anyway, Reed’s been extremely distant the past couple of days (probably due to the problems with his ex, among other things), but seems to have finally worked himself out of his funk.

Needless to say, this happening makes me unbelievably happy–my boyfriend can be my boyfriend again.

I’m not sure why he was so withdrawn from me, though. Part of me thinks that it’s because of the issues with his ex and that he feels like I’m trying to compete with her or that I feel inadequate in comparison to her and so he doesn’t talk to me all that much about her aside from giving me little tidbits when he remembers his life in Kingston (which he’s been doing lately, meaning he’s mulling things over about it).

In a way, he’s right for doing so, I guess. There were times when I feel almost like he’d rather be back together with her, but those times were also due to the hormones in the pills I was taking (no really–I would get depressed two days before my period and feel like everybody was against me). I also do have actual issues with her, but they’re not so much in comparing myself to her as they are in the way I feel she mistreated Reed. Of course, he really does love her (not that way anymore, though) and I suppose that he’s also residually protective of her because his family (sister, brothers, mother, father… cat) really hated her. So whenever I say bad things about her (I’m not bashing her or anything, just when I present a negative theory concerning the reasoning behind her actions), he’s usually pretty quick to remind me that she’s a really nice girl who was used in past relationships.

So maybe that’s why he wasn’t really talking to me about it. Not to mention the fact that girls in general are very possessive, and he was probably worried that if he told me everything that’s going on I’d drive down to where she lives to beat the crap out of her or something.

… In case you’re wondering, I wouldn’t actually do that. But I’d probably fantasize about it.

In other news, I’ve uploaded the old weblog entries that I found that were dated, so enjoy reading those. Oh, and I’ve created an archives page now to make navigation slightly easier. I’ll be tweaking the archives page throughout the day to customize it to my liking.

Enjoy!
