elusive-angel.com updates

Yeah, I did it again. At least it wasn't an entire year this time... LOL
I went through all the pages and added the "Survey Addict" button and a "WWW" button for my favorite links page (which I just added, btw).
I posted a FanFic that I recently started working on (WOO, I'm writing again!!) called Inside Out. I also posted the soundtrack that goes along with it and the lyrics that inspired the title.
Went through and deleted the "favorite links" on the side of all the pages, since I created a links page and made that part basically redundant & unncessary.
I need to post some more of my surveys, but I have to code them first, since I don't have them already done here at work. I might wait until later... when I get home (yes, I'm being naughty and updating at work... sue me). I'm also going to update the index and about me pages... I haven't updated those in a while and they need to be re-written. I have to go home and write all my movies out so that I can post them here. That might take a while. I also need to make some kind of attempt at posting my music selection. I have over 5000 songs on my iPod, but that's a LOT of typing and let's face it: I'm lazy. haha.
Almost time to go. Better get a little bit of actual work done.

Holy Crap. Has it really been THAT LONG since I've done anything to this page?? I guess so, since I had to email angelfire to ask them about getting my password. I tried every single one I use, and NONE of them worked. They emailed me my password and fixed my email address (I haven't had access to the old one for about... a year & a half).
So, what have I done today? I updated a lot of information (namely: I changed all my "married" stuff to "single" stuff), took down some pictures, fixed a few links. All in all, really boring stuff. I'm attempting to find a new layout because frankly, I hate this one. Every page is ugly. Fucking angelfire pre-made layouts. Admit it: they're hideous. In the search for a new template, I've found that I know jack shit about CSS and every template maker out there only uses CSS for the layouts I actually like. This means I now have to teach myself CSS, just like I taught myself HTML. This will be a long, hard process, I'm sure. If only I could just use the layouts from livejournal. Maybe I can. I'll have to check it out. Do a test page or something.
I'm turning this site into a blog of sorts, I guess. I'll end up changing it a few thousand more times, but what's the point of having a webpage if you don't use it, right? And right now, all I do is blog. I haven't written anything in... I can't even remember. I've lost interest in the stories I was writing, and I don't have the time or inclination to write any more. Life caught up with me... oops, I'm turning this update into a blog. Sorry about that. K, I'll go see if I can find anything interesting to put up here.
12:08pm: I am a fucking ROCKSTAR. I managed to get the layout that I wanted up by Googling a "how to" on CSS. Go, me. So now I'm going through all the pages and changing them to the pretty brown, white, & pink layout cause it's gorgeous.

I took a little vacation to spend the New Year with my in-laws, and didn’t have internet access. Sorry I never let anyone know that I was going, in the first place. :(
Today, I posted all of Moving On to the new site so that I don’t have the link to the old one up (I hate the old site, can you tell?).
I changed "Links" to "Navigation" on the index page cause it's "Navigation" on every other page, and it annoyed me (OCD, much?). Then, I put up a countdown at the bottom of the index page until I get out of the Navy (FREEDOM!).
I fixed a couple links that didn’t work, and will probably end up doing more later. I did a buncha surveys on MySpace earlier cause I was bored, so if I can find a template I like for the survey section, I’ll post those.
Also, the Movies/Music/Books section is going to take a while to put up because I have THAT MANY of each that it’s going to take me a few days to write them all down. Also, I’m sick and that makes me super lazy. Sorry, folks.
Oh yeah, I also updated this page. Duh? LOL
7:58pm: I found a template for the Survey Page. Not really a huge deal or anything fancy, but the basic page is up. I'll post some surveys later. Got to make dinner now.
8:18pm: Emma's watching Veggie Tales and Jake's sleeping off and on, so I'm delaying making dinner. I made masks for the Book Worm, the Music Whore, and the Movie Buff sections.

Posted chapter three of The Best Defense. I have most of chapter four written, but it’s late and I feel like shit so I’m going to bed.
Oh, I had to redo the effing Randomness page because I’m too tired and/or stupid to figure out the html on how to add my own damn entries (this is a template I gacked from the Angelfire html library). So, I got one that was EXTREMELY SIMPLE. Go me, right?

Today, I worked on the Fiction section, posting The Best Defense (the title is more than likely going to change... I just got tired of always referring to it as "the untitled story I'm working on", so I just picked a lawyer-themed title. Hooray for my laziness).
I also posted Boomerang, my New Moon-inspired fanfic. DO NOT READ IT IF YOU HAVE NOT READ NEW MOON. For one, you won't know what the hell is going on, and for two, it's pretty much a spoiler for the entire book.
Even though there was a link to my old webpage, where it was posted already, I put Scattered Thoughts up. Mostly because I hate my old page so much it's kind of pathetic, but also because it was hideous. Truly... it physically hurt my eyes to look at it. So, new page. Lucky y'all.
I fixed a couple of broken links, and then created this page (backdating the previous entry so that I wouldn't look compltely retarded... though I kind of gave it away with this. Oh, well). Now, I'm going to go play pool with friends from work and have a few drinks (filthy dirty martini, coming right up!). I'll post the first three chapters of Moving On tomorrow (that includes the prologue, which is only about 3 sentences long, so you're kind of getting gypped... sorry about that). I'm also going to have to fix all those fucking boxes that magically appear instead of apostrophes or quotation marks. Then I'm going to have to figure out why the fuck it does that so I don't have to continue posting, then editing every single page I put up.

This is basically where I'm going to do the updates section. Yay, right? Anyway.
Today, I opened up this little webpage. I did the index, the About Me section, the Contact Me section, and the Fiction table of contents. I would have done more, it's 3am and I felt it was necessary to get some sleep before my daughter decided it was time to wake up and play.
