The ... Plan DUN DUN DUN

i had just had a shower
So here is the plan. Thanks to the near-godlike status of a one Tony, he has hooked me up with 100mb of free webspace, ad-free, with my own subdomain and a huge buttload of other things, such as PHP enabled servers... and well, it's awesome. So, what the plan is, is that I am going to deconstruct this website, really think about what I want it for, how I want it to display, and build it from the ground up, complete in PHP script, so it's automated, consistent and hopefully will have some advanced features, like an actual comment script, that you can leave automatic comments, that don't have to be manually added by me... you'll just click submit and they'll appear.. that's my dream anyway. A menu that reads from a file and inserts itself into each page is also something I've already achieved in just tonight, so if I want to change the menu, I can just change the source data file, rather than open all fifty of my webpages and manually change it on each page... so much easier to change things now. I'm trying to think of a few layout ideas... I've already finalized my idea of what I want entries to look like and how I want them displayed, but I'm still think about how I will go about adding new entries.. whether I want to do it manually, or have it automatted.. I think it might have to be automatted if I want to use a comment system... so I'm going to take some time and really think about it. As for other things, such as my stories, I'm trying to think about maybe a different variation on my current layout would be more appropriate, rather than it just looking like a long entry, maybe I can change it, so it stands out a bit more... all these things are going through my mind, but I want to make something clear, this won't be available for you people to use/see until about christmas, so that gives me a long time to program it and make sure it works great.. I might need a few people to help test some of the scripts, but I'm sure I'll talk to you privatly about that.. so now I have a huge work in progress, and it's quite excited.. and it's all thanks to Tony, for saving me from those Geocities freaks!

More website related news, Emily also recieved free webspace from Tony, to host her brand spankin new personal website, Chaotic Maelstrom, which I helped design, which you could probably tell by how similiar the design is (all tables, lots of table within table action going on hehe) but anyway, this is opened up a lot more opprotunity for her because now she isn't stuck with LiveJournal restricting what she does.. she can have different sections, not just entries, and do what she wants and make it look exactly how she wants it too. I've been teaching her the basics of HTML and she's caught on rather quick, so while I'm working on my new PHP site in the next few months, I'm going to try to teach her PHP script as well, so you may see it popping up on her own website if you look hard enough. Oh, I guess I should throw the link in... her new website Chaotic Maelstrom is located at [http://emily.webkore.net].

I beat Zuma the other day... It was difficult... for those of you who don't know what Zuma is, a piece of your life, a very large one, is missing, and you will never feel fullfilled. That is all.

Both Emily and I got 'callbacks' from possible employers today. So we both have to take turns calling tomorrow. I got a call from Direct Energy for a job that pays between $1500 and $3200 a month, and she got a callback for a call center that pays very well, so here's hoping that at least one of us gets the job.. it could make all the difference in the world in our lives.. I'm so hungry..and thirsty. I have no food, and nothing to drink except tap water. I'm constantly hungry.. it never seems to go away, and I could chug glasses after glasses of liquid and I can never seem to feel quenched. This really is hell, feeling helpless and vulnerable.. I'm at the mercy of those around me and I despise it, because people always make you feel guilty if they show mercy.. always.

For the first time in four days I took my pills... tomorrow is going to be hard because after stopping for so long, they are going to cause quite a bit of sickness... but having a good sleep is going to be so awesome.. I have only slept about five hours in the last four nights.. isn't that scary? I get random dizzy spells where I just almost spill over, without warning, and it's because of how little sleep I've got. I can barely think anymore.. and I still managed to write some clever PHP stuff.. I can't wait to see what I can do when I can really sit down and concentrate. of course, you'll probably be hearing a lot from me about my progress, even though you can't see it... I'll most likely keep you updated, and also, I'd love suggestions. If you have ideas of features I should add, sections, pages, topics, things to write about, little things to add, or even things to take away, please for the love of god tell me, because that's what recreating my site is all about, to make it countless times better and more effective for what it is, and so you people have to help me out. Let me know...

I guess that's it for now. I'm not tired yet but I'm really not in the writing mood... probably because I'm not tired yet. Anyway, sorry for the lack of interest this update... no pictures, or anything interesting really.. you just wait.. you.. just.. wait. Later everyone.
