Er... yeah. This is more of going to be a blogish entry than an updateish entry.
KitClan Stuff- Eh, not much done. I replied to all emails, so feel free to finally be able to email me ^^ My uperly-amazing new staff member did some staffish stuff. She also submitted some blogs to my blog collection. However, they have SunnyNeo's weird coding thing, so we're a-gonna have to fix that.
Lighty's Blog Stuff- I did some work on this blog itself. Look at the little column thing besides this entry and you'll see it. Does it look cool?
Pride Cats Stuff- The amazing Pumakit owns Pride Cats, a really fun site about a "Pride" of wild cats that are descended from lions. You can also be a loner descended from panthers, cheetahs, leopards, etc. I love the site, and I'm a moderator of it. I hadn't RPed there for about a month *gulp* until the day before yesterday, and I was horrified to see she had last updated it on January 18th. So I updated, and updated again yesterday, and I'm about to update again tonight. Anyway, I made three graphics for it too. I'd really appreciate it if you could join, since it's become pretty inactive. *sigh* I'm Vulpecula, Canis, and Lupus on there if you're interested.
Bloggish Entry Stuff- First, I want to say that I noticed that Willowleaf is holding a drawing contest. I'm seriously considering entering, even though the cats I draw suck xD Next, I joined Smiley Helper's forum things. It only has a few members right now, but it seems like a lot of fun. I'm Kat Hale on there, so if you join, say hi! ;)
I feel the itching to review somebody. Does anybody want to submit themselves to a horrible nitpicking? LOL, I doubt it. I can review any part of your site you want, or the whole thing. I won't be too harsh ^^
I was reading Sunny Neo's Fontmaker Wall of Shame, and it's actually really hilarious. I mean, the stealers think up the stupidest excuses. You should read it *snickers* Okay, I'm revealing my bad side, so maybe I should stop...
OMG, I'm going to school tommorow. Will my crush have known that the flower cards had my handwriting on it? Will he say anything to me about it? Will he have brought the dragon he promised me (he makes origami dragons-- I called him his favorite nickname, "Gecko," instead of my favorite nickname for him, "Starfish," for a week to prove I could and then he said he would finally give me one like I wanted)? Ugh, I'm having a traumatic moment here.
Well, luff from your lufferly

Valentine's Day
Ugh. I couldn't think of a better title XD
Hey guys, how are you all? Sorry for not updating yesterday... there was a Valentine's Day dance at 8:00, and I spent two and a half hours getting ready for it XD It's fun to dress up once in awhile. It was a lot of fun, even though the stupid DJ people were only playing rap :P Eww. I hate rap. We even gave them a request list but they didn't do anything with it. Anyway, it was still fun because a bunch of my friends were there, and we danced with some guys. Not the kind where a guy asks you to dance, but where two guys randomly keep butting into your dance circle. Everyone at my school pretty much celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday. My friend got a bouquet of flowers from one of my guy friends, and then I encouraged him to ask her out. Actually, I told him to ask her to be his valentine, but he didn't ^^ LOL. But then she said no, and the poor guy was, like, heartbroken. He'll be over it on Tuesday, though (we have Monday off), 'cause he always gets over girls super fast. And then at the end of the day everybody got flowers. See, at my school, you can order flowers for somebody-- it's a dollar a flower. And then during seventh period on or right before Valentine's Day, Student Council will go around and give everyone the flowers. I got five, three from friends, one from a teacher (lol-- my Spanish teacher, who also happens to play ice hockey with my mom), and one from my Tiggle Winkle (actually my parents). And I ordered five for the guy I like O_o I didn't sign my name, but I wonder if he'll recognize my handwriting or not. He probably will-- he sits next to me in Math and we're always teasing each other. So that's the end of my Valentine trauma.
Sadly, I didn't work on KitClan at all this past week, though last weekend I started the Extras page, and the Cbox smiley page. It also turns out that aligning the Dancing Shamrocks layout to the left caused it to be messed up in every browser except Internet Explorer. So I pretty much exploded at my goshdang computer, and I'm going to someday redo all the layouts. But not now. Someday in the distant future when KitClan is open ;) So tonight I've added the codes for Smiley Set 1, and I made a Smiley Set 2 and added codes for it too. And then I explained what they were for and how to use them and stuff ^^ So now I'm finished with the "Emoticons" page, as it's called. The smilies are orange and green (not default colors) and they have ears. I also have plans to make animated ones, rainbow colored ones, and other colored ones in the distant future. I think it's gonna be a fairly popular thing, which, no doubt, other sites will start copying my idea XD But it actually takes a long time to make a set. I have to change the colors of each smiley on Photoshop, save it as "smileya1" or something like that, upload them to TinyPic, and then copy and paste each code onto a table and underneath the "Codes" button thing.
That's pretty much it. I'm going to try to go through my email tonight. Wish me luck ^^ I promise I'll post another entry tommorow, so let me know of any ideas for smilies or KitClan in general, kay?

Donkey-Walking
Hiyas! My darling Pumakit, where are you? You didn't post a comment on the last entry... *sniffle* Anyway, first to the KitClan stuff!
Ironically, right after I posted the entry from a week ago, I suddenly got my rear in gear, as it were XD I finished the Blogs page and the blog, which looks uperly-amazing (the scrollbar looks really cool =D), and then I did the Requests page, The Request Pick-Up page, and the Stock Linkbacks page. I made 11 new stock linkback things, which is actually a lot :) There's two sets of four and one set of three. Each set was taken from the same picture, but I used different brushes/changed the eye color. You can look at one from each set:
I tried to use the kind of delicate style, sort of like the graphics made by Summerscent (Serenity Warriors) and Dawncloud (StarClan's Essence), instead of my usual, sort of bold style, if you know what I mean. I think the new stock things are much better than my old ones, and I'm considering taking the old ones off because they really aren't special in any way. Now I'm going to finish the last page for graphics, the Website Layouts! I tried to figure out how to center a layout again yesterday, and then I tried about an hour ago, but the stupid computer isn't appreciating my efforts. So for now I'm just putting my new premade, "Dancing Shamrocks," to the left. It doesn't look quite as good that way, but whatever, I'm sick of trying to make it centered. If anyone knows how to center a layout properly, please let me know!
"Dancing Shamrocks" is the only layout that will be up for use, because the "Wild Angels" one sucked (I'm gonna redo it someday) and the "Love Story" layout isn't cross-browser yet (I also did massive changes to it-- it's now aligned on the left as well, and the menus were resized). I'll have to double check that "Dancing Shamrocks" still looks okay in different browsers after the realigning. On school computers I checked KitClan's personal layout in Firefox after the revisions, and it looks fine.
Things on my KitClan to-do list are:
-Do Website Layouts page.
-Start Extras page.
-Make Reviews page.
-Make a "Good Resources" list.
-Redo my "Cbox Smilies", which are your basic smilies only in different colors and with ears.
-Make a Warriors name generator.
-Rewrite linkback tutorial and textarea tutorial.
-Email staff with all info.
-Go through Gmail and reply to emails.
-Make sure there aren't any bad links/old things on new site.
-Open!!! Yay x 100! I was considering opening it on Valentine's Day, but I don't think I'll have enough time before then :'( I'm gonna try, though!
So... there's not really anything else to say. Oh, wait, I need to explain the blog's title! It's a rather funny story...
So my daddy was on a business trip this week, for 3-4 days. He got back at two in the morning yesterday ^^ My parents always go on a walk up our road every night just for fun and exercise. I don't usually go with them, but I feel bad when my mom is at a quilt retreat and my dad has to do it alone or, as was the case this week, my dad is on a business trip and my mom has to walk by herself. One of our dogs is always too lazy and he just sleeps all day, and the other one (our German Shepherd) is extremely hyper but has this... er... problem of trying to kill other dogs whenever she sees them (our neighbors are terrified of her), so neither dog ever comes on walks anymore. Anyway, I was debating on riding my pony on Wednesday, and then I thought of riding her on the walk instead. My mom thought this was a good idea, so when we got home from school, I ate a snack and then caught my pony and started to tack up. My mom came out eventually and helped me finish, and then we felt bad for my donkey, because he was staring at his girlfriend sadly and not wanting her to leave ;) So we decided to take him with us. He isn't trained for riding, so we just took his halter and put it on his head, and then pulled him out of the corral. So we went on the walk with me riding my Tiggle Winkle and my mom walking with our donkey on the lead rope. At one point we ran into one of our neighbors and his dog. The dog was really curious but was keeping her distance and barking, but our donkey didn't like that at all. So he was about to trample her when my mom jerked on the lead rope and he stopped. It was pretty funny, though. On Thursday, we did it again but our donkey kept stopping. If you don't know, donkeys are seriously really stubborn, and if they don't want to move, you sure as heck aren't going to make them. We got him to keep walking, but it was just to hard.
Go donkey-walking sometime! It's quite fun, our donkey is just like our lazy dog xD
*yawns* I'm gonna go take a shower now... see ya!

--> Ish Bored <--
Hey guys, how are you? ^^ I'm pleased to see that people still know I exist XD
So first, why I didn't update Friday. Well, I checked the comments on Thursday (I've been keeping up ;D), and then on Friday I tried to post a new entry and some comments. Of course, stupid Blogspot wouldn't let me x-( So I tried again on Saturday. And *drum roll* IT STILL WOULDN'T LET ME! I'm learning to be very wary of Blogspot.
The point is, I'm posting now, so I can now tell you about our beloved KitClan. I actually did some work on Saturday-- I did the Avatars page, and I started the Blogs page. I made an image for a new blog, and I went to SunnyNeo.com and looked at their blog tutorial, which usually helps. And of course, after messing around with the stupid blog for about 45 minutes, I was forced to accept it wasn't working. By that time I was pretty *ALERTALERTALERT-SEMISWEARWORDDONOTREAD* pissed *ALERTALERTALERT-SEMISWEARWORDSAIDCONTINUEREADING*, but I knew that RiverClan Secrets has a blog tutorial too, so I decided to take a shower and then finish the blog. Obviously, if you know me, you'll know I'm a total procrastinator ^^ so when I got out of the shower I didn't feel like finishing the blog. Then today, I was procrastinating again and didn't feel like working, so I didn't do anything for KitClan. But maybe if somebody gives me some constructive criticism on my blog image, I'll feel obliged to finish it (heck, maybe I'll just finish it after this post XD). So here's the image:
I haven't yet gone through my email, so please continue to hold off on emailing me, and try to remember what you emailed me about in the first place while I work up the bravery to tackle 6 emails XD However, I would like to say this: STOP SENDING ME THE DARN CHAIN MAIL! OMG I HATE CHAIN MAIL AND I DELETE EVERY BIT I SEE! I KNOW YOU WANT ME TO KNOW I'M IN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OR WHATEVER BUT I HATE THE *gagsonswearword* STUFF!
Okay... sorry... whoo... I just had to get that out of my system. I don't think anyone who's commented has actually sent me chain mail, but in case you're reading this and you have, please stop. You might have notice that I didn't forward it back to you. Chain mail is next to spam in my book, and I do not get on well with spammers. If you continue I'll probably end up marking your emails as spam and Gmail will send them to the "Spam" section. It just clogs up my email.
I probably won't be able to post until this coming Friday, but who knows? I might be able to get on sometime during the week. =D It's 'cause I love you all so much. Aren't you lucky? By the way, Dew, do some sort of update. I keep visitin' and you haven't updated for about 4 days :'(
For those of you who care, I have a cold. It's awful-- my throat is on fire and my nose is stuffy. I've also realized that there's a funny taste in my mouth whenever I'm sick. Yech.
I think I've said about everything... Oh, I found this great site called www.skuisi.net. It's so much fun to go onto. It even has an interesting article about how darn stupid chain mail is ^^ I have to go feed my pony 'cause it's pretty dark out now.
