I changed the color of this page, if no one already noticed. I taught myself HTML color code, which I find pretty interesting. Ranging from the helical to the different letter/number combination codes, I find it pretty cool. I’ve always been fascinated with colors, but computer colors are just another realm which is mystical to me. So now, getting a bigger grasp on it is exciting. (Or maybe I’m just a big computer nerd hiding in girl’s body).
My friends and I were talking the other days about random dates that we have been on before, and it made me laugh about how random the dates I have gone on were acted.
Date #1: Boy picks me up. We went to the mall for a movie but arrived there 30 minutes early. So, we just walked around the mall until the movie started. I count about 5 times. We see our movie. After the movie, we went to Jack-in-the-Box where we indulged in Oreo shakes. They were good. Then, we went to Albertsons, where we walked and talked for about 30 more minutes, circling that store 10 times. My conclusion was that this boy likes to walk around in circles. How funny :)
Date #2: Boy comes over to my house. We go to a Diamond Shamrock because my mom wants a lottery ticket, and I want to show boy something I learned in Science Olympiad. It requires the purchase a water gallon jug. We do that and rent a movie as well. We get back to my house, and I empty the water out. I dry the container, and I start to cut it open. Then, I proceed to burn it. We both marvel in it. :) (if you don’t know what it does, you should really try it. It has to do with polymer sciences. Anything like a milk gallon jug will work. It has to be made of that material, otherwise, you will yield a different reaction). We watch a movie. It was fun
I just like sharing the weird parts of things. The rest is just details.

Posted by Courtney at May 10, 2004 12:14 PMCourtney, I'm glad you're learning about the computer colors. Maybe it's because I'm in the older generation, but it is very difficult for my eyes to read the grey text on the blue background...please change it to something easier on the eyes. Look at it this way, you'll get to play around a bit more with the color.
Posted by: Mom on May 11, 2004 01:08 PMI have to agree with Rita that the functionality of the colors needs some work. And it has nothing to do with age for me!
But--good for you for poking around and teaching yourself something new. It's a good habit to have.

Posted by: Kathleen on May 12, 2004 07:53 AMKK: If you block the gray text, it changes the color to White on Medium Blue...much easier to read. Good to know in case Courty? can't part with her current scheme.
