So yes, Chaz proposed to me last night and we are officially engaged! Hurrah! Now, to keep the millions of expected questions at bay I'm going to answer the important ones in this blog post. The Suspense Nope, I did not suspect he was going to ask me any time soon. It's always been the plan, so it wasn't a shock that he asked, I had just not thought he had bought the ring yet. We aren't the...http://melangel.livejournal.com/255016.html Wordpress 2.6 Beta!- June 24, 2008 Originally published at GuitarAngel.net. Please leave any comments there.Oh yes, just when you thought you were getting used to the insane changes of version 2.5, the developers are already pushing forward to 2.6! Don't start panicking, thinking you will have to moan and groan through a painful upgrade. It won't be as heavy of an update (or a shocker for people) like 2.5 was. However, there are a few cool new features: Post Revisions - Easily see a history of changes made to postspages. ..http://melangel.livejournal.com/254808.html Summer Reading- June 24, 2008 Originally published at GuitarAngel.net. Please leave any comments there.Today I stopped off at the bookstore and picked up four new books! Well, three are new...one I have read before. I especially enjoy the genres of fantasy and science fiction. If you know of any good reads in those categories, please feel free to suggest!

Please leave any comments there. Woo, I got my nose pierced! I had wanted it last week but was suffering from an annoying cold. I didn't think it would be very comfy to be sniffling and whatnot while the piercing was trying to heal! Yes, it hurt. However, the after-shock of the needle is exactly like an ear piercing to be honest. The only part that got to me was when jewelry went in. Nose studs are actually curved at the end of the post (see...http://melangel.livejournal.com/253933.html Weird Truck Lady- June 20, 2008 Originally published at GuitarAngel.net. Please leave any comments there.So yesterday, while driving home from work, I had stopped at a red light. I leisurely glanced over to the next lane and noticed a very beat up old pick-up truck a few cars ahead. What forced me to stare wasn't the mangled driver door or the severely rusted exterior...it was what I saw in the back of the truck. There was a lady sitting there, leaning up against the cab. She was rather big-boned, but really skinny. The kind.http://melangel.livejournal.com/253476.html Plurktastic!- June 19, 2008 Originally published at GuitarAngel.net. Please leave any comments there.I must say that Plurk has got to be my new favorite social site on the web! For those unaware, Plurk has the same purpose as Twitter does: microblogging or small updates in 140 characters or less. Never mind the weird name. Honestly, I wasn't sure about Plurk in the beginning. Compared to Twitter, the interface for Plurk is a bit more complicated and you have to play around with it a little while to catch the hang of...http://melangel.livejournal.com/253227.html Firefox 3 Released!- June 17, 2008 Originally published at GuitarAngel.net. Please leave any comments there.Today is the official release of Firefox 3, the latest update to the best Internet browser on the planet! The shiny new version comes packed with improvements to browsing speed, memory usage, and security. I can't possibly list everything that FF3 will have, but you can read all about it, of course! I'll quote the short descriptions of what the website says: New Features: Firefox 3 sets the innovation bar very high...http://melangel.livejournal.com/252981.html Immunity System Plz!- June 13, 2008 Originally published at GuitarAngel.net. Please leave any comments there.One healthy immunity system to go, please. I've been sick since coming back from my mini-holiday and I am so tired of it! It's some kind of sinus cold and it's been hovering at the stage where it isn't bad enough to make me truly miserable but it hangs on annoyingly in the background. I never really get sick either. Maybe five or so times a year. My mom will always swear that it's because she breastfed me as a baby, TMI,.http://melangel.livejournal.com/252852.html |
