Deja wtf + I resist your conformity! \\ Ais

lolz, I actually would have forgotten about posting the chapter today if Sonny hadn't mentioned it *cough*

It's so weird because we're currently writing chapter 17-- which, when you get to it, you will see it's a pretty important chapter-- so when I go back to the early chapters I keep having this moment of confusion in which I'm going, "Wait, what? Why is __ happening? Why does the narration say __? Why are __ talking about __ when it's way past that now?"

So confusing for poor little Ais.

By the way, in relation to Sonny's side stories entry... wtf XD If we had a contest between us about who could write more side stories in a set period of time, I would FAIL. EPIC FAIL. *looks around shiftily and leans in conspiratorially* Sonny just has to be better than me. Don't tell him I told you.

XD Kidding, of course. I wish I were that bad ass but idk, too hard for me to write side stories. I get all distracted. The fucking Owen one has been Almost Done for months now. I decided I hated the only one I had up previously so I removed it. Now the only one I have up is one that's all sadface.

So XD I'm not really adding to the lighthearted, humorous side of the story right now...

I am so obsessed with Metallica's newest album Death Magnetic. It's pretty out of control... I love The Unforgiven and The Unforgiven II, and at first didn't think I was a huge fan of The Unforgiven III, but now I'm friggin' obsessed with it and listen to it over and over and over... Considering it's a 7 minute song, that pretty quickly gets up to half an hour of Ais rocking to:


How can I be lost,
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?

How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?


There are a few songs on it that I think are pretty pertinent to Afterimage, too.

PS: It cracks me up when I mishear lyrics. For instance, I thought James was saying, "How could he know this new dog's life would change his life forever?" but really it's "How could he know this new dawn's light would change his life forever?" which, not only a lot more poetic, makes a hell of a lot more sense. Unless, you know, he got a hellian dog he needs to send Cesar's way XD

PPS: I also really like Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight and am a definite fan of Little Things Give You Away.

All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you...

Dude, I am so ADD sometimes. I started working on replacing the navigation to include the blog/remove the chat. SIMPLE, RIGHT? Except then I decide to fix the header issues that were going on, and then I decide to validate a page, then fix all those errors, and get it down to the same issues I've been having -- no allowtransparency attribute in iframes, and no "name" attribute in headers, which is lame? Because in my web design class recently, we purposefully did id and name so it would be cross-compatible with Macs, PCs, etc.

I decided to look into the allowtransparency dilemma again and GUESS WHAT I FOUND? Apparently W3C decided a few years ago it was no longer kosher just because, although one person said they thought it may be because HTML isn't supposed to be a visual language so you should be doing that shit with CSS.

Which, ok, would be a valid point except as far as I can tell there is no other way to get the same result.

Brilliant.

Not that it's a huge deal, I mean it's just on the shoutbox. But this irritates me, damnit! I WANT TO BE VALIDATED *criez* My life is meaningless without that green checkbox saying I'm a-ok and not worthy of death! DRAMA DRAMA.

Ok not really XD But it does piss me off XD I should just remove the fucking attribute and be done with it XD But I'm all stubborn and resistant, like, "Fuck you, W3C, what do you know anyway?"

So anyway. Ranting aside, I guess I should actually finish changing the navigation on every page, huh? *cough*
