I just thought of a wonderful idea!
I like to write...and because I can probably never land a deal to write any books to be given out to human beings, why not write my stories through my blogs?! It's kinda like....a TV series. Every week there's a new episode, well, every now and then I'll write a new parts of my story and you all can keep up with them. So it's kinda like in addition to my whacky blogs, you'll be able to follow along to my never ending story. I'll try to think of the main plot of my story later, but I'm still figuring out this story thing out. I think it'll be interesting 
A few hours ago I spent 20 minutes giving Hassan a thorough 101 lesson on how to put on contacts. Thank god it had nothing to do with cell phones (contacts!), god forbid Hassan meets girls whilst holding one. Not a good equation. He got his first pair of contacts today and already his eye is taking a bad beating. Hassan was so excited to be putting on his first contacts he got up at 6:30 am to do so, waking up an hour and a half earlier then he usually does. That's dedication right there. The kid doesn't even wake up to go to school when he's supposed to, but he will get up early to clear himself from the glasses he doesn't even wear at school. Well gosh he doesn't want to be a nerd!! He's just not a Harry Potter character, glasses for men usually don't work unless they're gucci and are made of diamonds.
I'm surprised of how Hassan got those things in his eyes in the first place. I don't even want to know. He probably blew out the electricity in the process and knocked out two old men unconcious as he threw out his contact lens case in a rage of fit outside. I know this is a possibility.
So while teaching Hassan, I learned 3 things:
a) he's an idiot
b) he gets irritated fast (shocker!)
c) he does not know his angles
To even show him how easy it was to take out his lenses, I demonstrated. About 3 times. Everytime the contact lens was at a crease between my fingertips he would give out an "OOOOO" and an "AHHHH". I felt like some sort of magician. I almost felt special. Like OMGG LOOK WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY FINGERS AND PIECES OF PLASTIC INSIDE MY EYE!!!
I guess it's just another thing I can do, that he can't. I add this to the list under "proper brain usage".
Then I told Hassan to try it. Of course I stood back first, then I gave him clear directions: Look straight, hold up your eyelids (I don't do this but he's a n00b so he has too) and PINCH the contact gently. For some reason, he looks down, pulls down his lower eye lid and then squirms around like he's in a Lil Wayne music video and forcefully pinches THE AIR and then happily looks to see if he got it. Oh darn, he's got nothing. Then he goes wild.
Hassan took his anger out on the nearby mirror. I'm not sure why he did this, but I reminded him that punching the mirror wouldn't magically remove the contact. I mean it might cause the mirror to topple over us, possibly killing me and sending him to the hospital, and maybe then the paramedics would notice the contact lens and remove it for him, but there was really a small chance of that happening. If the paramedics were cute in this event and I was still dead, damnit, that would suck 
Hassan looked at me with the "OMG IM SMART THIS SHOULD WORK FOR ME BUT ITS NOT" look, and I just laughed inside. The "oh I totally know for sure now he was raised by angry geese and dropped off on the doorstep by a mob of ants" laugh. I just got sick of poking at my eye all day for this kid, who obviously wasn't going to get it any time soon, so I just had him hold his eyelids up and I took it out for him.
Yes, my hands were nicely washed. We have soap, you know.
Great, I didn't even get to the foreign part of my blog yet. I have pictures, too! Well, I suppose I can wait til tomorrow to set up that blog. All nice and pretty~

Someone took over the Skye Host (my host) site, so instead of Michael, we now have the new owner, Amy. The email I recieved said Michael's life had taken a sudden turn and he asked her to step in and run the site for him. I really hope Mike is alright I don't know if he even reads my blogs and if he'll even see any of this, but....I just hope things get better with him. Good luck Mike!
Amy read my recent blog about the deletion (word?!) of my MYSQL base and said that she could look in her database to see if she could get any recent version of my mysql. That means I MIGHT HAVE SOME HOPE in getting back my old blogs! Ahhhhh!!! 
I just hope somewhere deep in that silly system of codes there's a recent backup of my database. Fingers crossed!
I have a really cool blog about foreign places coming up. Just wait til I clean out my closet, okay?! I babysat for about 7 hours today (don't ask, I didn't have much of a choice yes I am clearly an idiot) and I'm soooo tired. I'll tell you more about that later. Boy do I have some stories to tell.
But yes, closet first, updates and blog later. Please request something specific, I'm running out of things to make. My head hurts. At least the creative side, anywho.

May 14, 2008 stocks
The Swimchick contest has been postponed. I thought of a better idea that doesn't involve cameras I want everyone to be able to compete sooo this time it'll be more about graphics. I'll put it up later today !
I added some new stocks. I seem to use them a lot so I needed some more options to choose from!
( to the stocks! )
Alright so I'm also in the process of adding new sections to the site. I'm tired of updating the same old sections, and I want to add and update new sections. Does anyone have any ideas on future content for swimchick? Lemme know!
The old texture section on the new texture page will be deleted today. Just letting you know!
( tags: updates )
I will no longer delete things that I have no knowledge of their purpose. If there's a squirrel outside doing the limbo, I will not question these motives and continue mowing the grass. That's right! No more questioning the strange. I mean sure I could've been like "well what does that 83. whatever number near the mysql have to do with anything? Maybe it's important and I shouldn't delete it!"
But no, I had a different mentality:
*goes to MYSQL*
OMG 83 PERCENT MB WHATTT THIS THING HAS BEEN WASTING MY SPACE -delete-
*goes to homepage*
HOLY CRAP WHAT DID I DO AHHHH COME BACK!!!! NOOO!!!!!
It's alright, though. I'm going to hopefully learn from this and never utilize the delete button ever again. Cept when I'm pretending to erase Sam from my life by deleting and vandalizing her picture online, giving her an online mustache and goatee using the brush tool in photoshop. Then yea, the delete button is my friend.
Uhhh that's right, SWIMCHICK COMPETITION. I mentioned that, yes? No!?
This competition will be written out in a few hours (I need to finish loans for school first, yea education comes first big LOL right there~) so check back in a few to see the new swimchick competition TO WIN FREE ADVERTISINGGG and maybe a free layout.
Alright well, off to do these loans. So many numbers. I also might switch to wordpress because I'm not digging this whole fanupdate thing. Too many holes in the system - and yea it works good but I need more OPTIONS than this. That's one thing wordpress has that fanupdate doesn't.
