it's enough to make one go sterile

apologies to all three of you who were smart enough to discover that the harry potter hat and wand link at the bottom of my other diary was more than just decoration and who faithfully check this much-more-interesting and true-to-life blog only to find that it has been down for a while. at first i thought it was a fluke, that maybe blogger had caught a cold and decided to spend a few days in bed. then i checked the formatting and everthing had disappeared. my entries were still entered, but something ate the formatting and nothing was showing up - no title, no entries, nada. while i think that it's a pretty background, after about two seconds, one wants something a little more stimulating. like maybe moon-singing bug-eyed spongemonkey things.

i have no idea what happened and why everything disappeared. but, i am sure that it is something YOU did. not me, never me. or maybe it's a hypernova which made my blog sterile. (no, i have not finally lost my tenuous hold on reality just yet - that was an assertion made by the infallible discovery channel, although the statement pertained to reproductive beings and not blogs, although this one does seem to have a personality.)

so, i have started over. there were some difficulties in trying to get the formatting just the way i wanted it, and now i have all of the fun of doing it over again. just what i wanted! ah, if only such was the precedence of all my wishes, then i would be the queen of england. not because i want to be the queen of england, per se, but because i wouldn't mind being married to prince william.

i finished both Shirley and Vilette by charlotte brontë over the weekend. the former had a happy ending, the latter... it was a "lady or the tiger" sort of deal. very frustrating - did he or didn't he??? my personal opinion is: not.

oh, and today, i am having a good hair day. the days are rare enough to actually make such a claim, i feel it noteworthy.
