Red Buckets and Roses

I've been interviewed! Proceed to the Red Buckets website to see my random answers ;) And they even presented me with this (cute, eh?):



Red Buckets consists of Matt C. and Nicky, two random peoples from down in Sydney. Matt goes to the youth group that my sis, Tach and her hubby (another Matt...) lead down there. It also consists of crazy random people, but then with them as leaders that's to be expected...

In other news, I've got this growing suspicion that I should dub myself the blog guru and get myself a little polka dotted skirt to wear when on the job. I've now reached the sixth blog I've messed the HTML up in! Four are pretty much complete and two are still in the preview-'em-and-freak-out stage (that would be Jolene's and Bethany's).

I find it somewhat funny 'cause I only began learning the very basics of HTML back in March when I got this blog. I seriously don't know much! I enjoy making all of the colours and pics work, though, and I'm planning on getting a dummies guide to web design sometime. I really need to get Photoshop and learn how to use it too. Then I could really get serious about images. For now I'm stuck to just cropping them and maybe doing some slight tints but it's so painful having to interchange between the two free photo programs we have now.

But why I'm raving on about all this is 'cause I completely did over a blog for a friend from Sydney last night in just three hours. I think that would ahve to be my record (especially since I've probably already spent over 6 hours on Jolene's and it still looks like an elephant was panting it). Do go have a look, though--Jess's Blog--and plague her with lovely comments. She's been on blogger for about a month now, but has been having trouble finding a design she liked and also getting her comments to work *pokes Kaycie*

I think that's it from me right now. It's Monday and so it was secretarial work day. And tomorrow I've got to chase up a new phone card (so I can ring you dear Americans), do something about getting my Youth Allowance form re-accepted (I want the money! Wait---I need the money), and I think there's some lovely e-mails in my inbox that need responses.

Either way I'm off for food and then to bed where I can finish the rather exciting Later Days at Colditz by P. Reid. It's the true stories of these P.O.W.s in the strongest fortress prison in Germany during WWII and all of their escape attempts. What they htought up and how they managed to do some of the things they did (they're even making a glider!) is just mind-boggling. I don't think I've gotten so enthralled and laughed so hard in a war book before. Well, except for the book that came before this one, The Colditz Story. That ones got to be in my top five favourite war books.
