I am the 53rd card in the deck

Hola.

Photoshop question: I've tried to make an icon for, like, the last three nights, and for some reason the text will not show up. I put in the text box like I'm supposed to, and change the font color and size, but letters won't show up. Numbers and symbols will. I don't get it. I guess I could make an icon that says "437&.{}." I love the new computer, but I haven't spent much time with it. I already feel like a zombie after 8 hours on the computer at work; going home to another one seems like a sad misuse of my time.

I had a sad, bad dream last night in which Bun died and then (I kid you not) turned into a Starburst. Then he turned back into Bun again and it turned out he hadn't died at all, just undergone some weird healing metamorphosis. I must need therapy. I've been worried about Bun because he briefly stopped drinking (Lawson's response: "Glad to hear he's back on the wagon"), but now he's acting normal again. I am so glad.

I never mentioned what Kathy got me for my birthday. Danielle, remember that Clay 8x10 she bought at the concert? Well, when we got home, she made me go into the living room, and after a few minutes she brought me a big bag of scrapbook stuff she had bought specifically for scrapbooking the concert. The colors matched the shirt I was wearing. It was so neat and thoughtful. Then she handed me the Clay picture and said "This is yours." I was like, "No, it's yours!" and she said, "No, I bought it for the scrapbook!" I was so happy. Isn't she great? :) Also, Daniel got me a George Foreman grill! I was speechless. Maybe he wants to compensate for taking my cook away from me. LOL. Anyway, it was incredibly nice of him. Every so often he does something really nice for me, and then I feel like a huge jerk for being so huffy most of the time. One of these times it'll stick.

I changed my journal colors. I suspect they will change semi-often until I find something I really like.

A Starburst? As in the candy? LOL!!!

Ha... and she claims to not be on crack. :P

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yes. And I don't even eat Starburst very often, so I have no idea how that got in there. :)

A very intriguing dream no doubt!! It's even a bit funny, in a morbid way. Not to laugh at your sadness, or the death of Bun...

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Thanks... :)

[sp00f.livejournal.com]

You're welcome; anytime!

So you think you're a joker, eh?

Oooooh Purple! Pretty!
Do you change each colour seperately or did you just pick one the colourthings Livejournal gives for every style. Like I picked Mocha.
Mmmm mocha. lol :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

I changed each one separately. Which was interesting, since the big color selector doesn't work and you have to just click randomly to find the color you want. :P

Sounds like a font problem. Which font are you trying to use to create the letters?

For some reason I have no problem being on the computer at home and work. I just don't associate it with badness. I don't get tired of it. I adore my computers. Mmm, computers.

Hey, I think I know the song in your title. I like it a lot. Except one part (about seats in the movie theater) doesn't make any sense, because the numbers don't add up. Other than that, it's good. (-:

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOSH! That has been bothering me all day! I'm so glad you said something. I've had it in my head all day and it says something about five friends and then four seats and how he sits by himself, and I'm like, "But doesn't that make six people?" Yay. Picky people of the world unite. :)

I keep trying different fonts but it's all the same. I always have these weird problems whenever I try to do something new.

[jmcphers.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I think at one point I tried to convince myself that he was saying "we're five friends and we want to go" so that 5 includes himself, but I wasn't successful.

This is just a guess, but it is remotely possible that photoshop is looking only for symbols in fonts. Try a font like WingDings that consists only of symbols. If all the characters in that font work, then you need to find the font class Photoshop is using and change it from "Symbol" to something else. Sadly, I can't be very specific here since I haven't used Photoshop in a long time... too expensive for moi. I had it at work at Lockheed. (-:

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Huh! I would have never thought of that. Maybe that's the problem. I'll look at it tonight. :) Thanks!

What a fantastic gift! Wow! That was really sweet of her. :-)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it really was! I was very surprised, too, because she had said that I had to wait until we got home that night, so I thought it was pajamas or something. :)
