grat, random updates, and learning my way around bloop | 10/28/2010 |
|
I've made my front page better at least than it was before with A LOT of help from Project Service and googling various html codes. I really would like to do something with my entry table on the front, and maybe my cursor and some of the orders and scrollbars. But regardless, I'm pleased with the current results... it'll probably change over time, I just wanted it to reflect me right now, and some place I would want to come and write. So as of now, it does. I'm still learning my way around here for the time being.
For instance, what is the difference between favs and friends? Is it like OD? And how do you know when somebody makes a new post? Just curious, I'm sure I'll figure it out.
So far, people have been commenting a lot on my SINGULAR entry-- and welcoming me! It's phenomenal how community-oriented this place is, and I'm loving it so far. Again, I haven't left OD I have years of entries there, but right now it's nice to have a second place to come, and also to have such control over personalizing your diary is fantastic--I'm loving that.
So it's 6 am and technically I should be LEAVING for work right now but I had a horrific case of insomnia last night--I haven't had an issue with insomnia in SO LONG but I haven't slept since yesterday 10 am. I texted a friend/coworker I knew would be working and told her about my situation and she talked to the charge nurse who said they were overstaffed and he called me off for the first four hours. So as of now I am still on the schedule from 11a-7pm, but he said he would tell the next charge nurse to call me off for the remaining 8 hours. So hopefully that happens and hopefully I get some sleep in the meantime.
I do have work tomorrow so if I do get called off, ideally I'd only like to sleep until 12 noon so that I can fall asleep and have no issues tonight for work tomorrow.
For Halloween weekend I decided on the ever so lame and classic ninja costume. It's such a fallback for most, which is disappointing to say the least... I'll be decked in ALL black (slightly tight) with a strap on sword thing that straps to my back and a dagger in my waistband. Paul has a hood thing (for skiers) that's really thin and slips over the head so it only shows my eyes.
I usually like to do something a little more creative that takes a lot of effort but I just didn't have the time OR the energy to do that this year...
I'm in an energy slump right now. I know how to fix it but fixing it takes, well, energy. And, you see where the cycle continues. 
On that note, I'll end this entry with a gratitude list and I'll probably be back for more later.
LOVE YOU ALL ( to my old OD favs and my new Bloop loves)
XO

Basically if you "favourite" someone, you'll see everytime they write a new post (up the top in the grey bar it will say theres an update) and when you "friend" someone, it means that any entries you have on "friends only" can read the entry - but no one else can 
Hope this helps you a little bit. I joined OD when all the OD'ers came over here, I wanted to see what it was like. Bloop is good for communitiy..but OD seems good for the anonymity.
Wow... I love your gratitude list and I love the way you've made your diary look! It looks awesome IMHO.
i am a fellow OD refugee as well. i am finding that i really like it here. 
Glad to see another OD orphan here, there sure are a lot of us!
RYC: Thank you
Glad to see you over here at Bloop! And I really love your frontpage too.
