Everything is coming up roses?

a. I cannot figure out how to change the color of the background that I currently have to match the banner I've chosen to go with.

b. My boss at the library told me that if I write the name of a patron (student) on a book incorrectly again (note this was the first time), then I'm fired. His exact words were, "Do it again and it will cost you your job." Oh, did I mention he's gaie?

c. A gaie with whom I had plans cancelled on me last night, although something tells me that had I not called him to find out where he was I would never have heard a thing. He suggested tonight. And, well, I'm here writing this as opposed to having coffee with him, so... He was the one who suggested meeting up at all in the first place, yet last night when I called to find out where he was as he was not here, he thought it important tell me that he'd rather not make solid plans which he'll have to break 'cause right now he just really needs to focus on school and work. Okay.

d. I realize even with the school having given me a lot of money, I still owe them more than I can afford to pay. I cannot get a loan on my own and have no one in my life who could co-sign for me. I am not certain, but I think this pretty much negates the possibility of saving up to go to Paris next year -- hell, the possibility of even saving up so that I could afford to live somewhere during the summer.

e. I had two hours to copy pages from a book this evening because there is no point in my stressing to afford to buy the book because we only read maybe 100 pages out of it, only that not a single copy machine on campus would read my card, even though I have plenty of money on the card and even though people before and after me had no trouble swiping their cards.

f. I am not going to be in this year's Village Halloween Parade as a Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleader because the company that CNY was going to go with has just told us that they can't guarantee as many costumes as we'll need and I don't have time to find one on my own and I called Abracadabra and they quoted me $95.

g. We have mosquitoes in the room 'cause my roommate cannot close the window when he comes in from the fire escape after smoking. We have flies which were maggots in the room 'cause my roommate does not really know how to clean ANYTHING. I have had two destroy to roaches so far.

sweetie, all you have to do is change the color code in the template. Actually, all you have to do is tell me when to come over and show you the joys fo faking it in the html world.

As for Halloween, I have no idea (nor any funds after buying furniture) what to be. Hey, why don't I be you and you be me? I'll get some blackface and a columbia hat and you get some powder, a couple balloons, and borrow adam's blonde wig....

(or not)

listen tits,

i know how to change the background color. i'm not that html-stupid. what i was talking about is the background image that i have going on -- i can change it's color. but i can't, for the life of me, get it to be precisely the color that i want.

regarding halloween, i talked to my coach and there may be a solution for me yet. otherwise, yours isn't such a bad idea.
