so, a couple of days ago i took a leaf out of my dads book, and tried to do something technical.
didn't work out so well.
on thecutestblogontheblock.com (LOVE THAT WEBSITE!!), they tell you how to make your own blog backgrounds.
most of it (well, all of it!) required photoshop, and we dont have that.
so, i decided to try to be clever, and just use my photobucket account to do it the short way.
once again, didn't work out.

oh well, at least there was a lesson learned:

i'll never survive as a technician.
