new theme
opinions? better or worse than the old one? i changed because the old one cut off my posts, but i do have other options. so is this nifty or not so nifty in yalls opinions?
also i can make the colored text any color i want—what would look best? it was set at red to begin with but that was a little too angry for me.

on baths
because i am writing this from my tub. that’s right, ladies, my bath tub.
this is something you probably don’t know about me as there are no tubs at college: i LOVE baths. i take a 2 hour or longer bath every chance i get. i read, i watch tv, i paint my nails, i talk on the phone, i study flashcards—all from my bathtub.

house sounds

if i had words, i'd make a day for you
so far everything’s from that song from the BABE THE GALLANT PIG movie when babe is sick and the man is singing to him.
sometimes, no always, i wish that someone would sing me a song when i’m sick or sad and it would make everything better.

more bio needs to be studied.
