Isn't my page pretty? :) The layout is still not very exciting, but it's something. I discovered the howto community and it was extremely helpful. I like the generator template better than this one, but I wanted a sidebar and this was the only way I was getting it. :)

Reese Witherspoon rocks my socks. What a cool girl.

Lately I am afraid that I am becoming a snob. It used to be easier for me to engage people in conversation, and get to know them, and like them. (My RUF leadership played a big role in this, I think.) But lately, people just annoy me. I don't really have a desire to talk to strangers at Bible studies and stuff. When I break through this and talk to them anyway, I have nothing to say, or to ask them about, so I come off as socially awkward and/or snobby (neither of which I consider myself to be, but maybe I should re-evaluate). I think some of this may be that I just haven't met any "kindred spirits" lately. But still, I feel guilty. I've always felt like I have to be friends with everybody. I'm just praying that God will give me a love for others again.

Someone's having a birthday here, so I am going to go have cake. I will do Jessica's fun survey later. :)

Thanks for the how-to link! That's helpful.

I'm going to see Sweet Home, Alabama when I visit my sister in October. I'm very excited! I love Reese Witherspoon..did you see Man in the Moon? That was the first movie I saw with her in it (apparently her first movie?) and she did such a great job.

your journal is souper-dupper-cool-a-mon-dough. How do you update the currently stuff on the side bar to you have to change in in the style or can you change it on each entry?

Yes, I am excited to see that too! Kathy and I are going to see Em next weekend, and I'm hoping we can see it then. :)

Yes, I have seen Man in the Moon. So sad, but yes, she was excellent.

Thanks. :) I'm just going to change it in the style, periodically.

That's a pretty cool looking layout, especially the stuff you have in the sidebar. I used to have some stuff in my sidebar as well, along with a midi, but then it all seemed to lag, so I changed my layout and just kinda kept it simple.

As for you not feeling like talking to people, I wouldn't say it's snobby. Anti-social, maybe? I don't mean to offend you by that, and I apologize if it does offend you, but the reason I think that is because, I, myself, am kinda anti-social, and I often find myself kinda shying away from people, but that's cuz I usually end up feeling like I don't belong at time because most, practically all, of my friends are either married or else seeing a significant other, and I'm not, and it bothers me, but that's another story.

I notice that you're anticipating the season premiere of Friends, eh? I'm anticipating the season premiere of E.R. next Thursday, but tonight, I'm gonna be watching Survivor! :)
