I love leap years, I really do. With leap years I get 366 days of misery instead of the usual 365.

Life can be cruel alright.

So in keeping with the new look thing I’ve added a couple new themes. All of the guts of the themes here so far are rooted in the wonderful Cutline by Chris Pearson. My apologies to Chris for my butchering of his fine theme. Hey, I am an amateur after all.

I’ll tell you a little about their origins since I based 2 of the themes from someone else’s sites. (DISCLAIMER: All original authors have credit links in the footers). You can check them out using the theme switcher at the bottom of the posts.

Autumn Insanity: I like this one best I think. It reminds me of my favorite season, Autumn, in a crazy way…hence the name.

Desperation: The graphics for this one are actually mine. And it shows. ‘Nuff said.

Suku Revisited: Based on a vbulletin skin by the folks at vB Skins that I bought a year or two ago. I loved the look and feel of it so I recreated here.

Death Lilies: Another vbulletin skin by the folks at vB Skins. It just seems to give a peaceful and serene feeling despite the utterly uplifting name.

Gothic Twitch: It evolved from a website template I downloaded (I suck at design) a few years ago and fell in love with. I loved the layout and loved the name the original author, pogy366, gave this one.

Finally feeling better, just exhausted still. But that’s just as much from emotional overload as it is from having been sick. Been busy trying to work up some Christmas spirit but it’s just not there. I didn’t really want anything for Christmas but there were a couple things I wouldn’t have minded getting. Of course they were knocked down by the powers that be. So instead I’m told that I’m getting “a controversial” gift this year. Apparently that means that I’ll like it but I won’t. Okaaaaaay, whateva! Should be interesting I guess. Have to go to my sister’s this year. Hooray. I get one lousy day off and can’t even spend it at home. Instead I have to go up there and be uncomfortable and play at being a family. So yeah…BAH HUMBUG I say.

But to all those who do enjoy the holiday season…Have a safe and happy holiday!

Love,
