I changed the blog background. Everyone else was changing them due to Halloween, and I'd been getting bored of my old one so I decided to change it. But it was a hassle. I've changed many backgrounds many times, comes from being fickle and having 3 blogs, but none of the other times that I've changed blogs has it been any trouble. I don't know what blogger's problem was this time around, but somehow, eventually I fixed it. Oh the cleverness of me!

I know it's not really Halloween-y, seeing as there isn't any bats or pumpkins, and there is no color orange anywhere (I hate the color orange, by the way). But it is black, and dark, and therefore more Halloween-y than blue with silver swirls. And this way I don't have to change it right after the 31st, it'll still look okay if I get lazy. Hey, and it has red, does that mean I can claim that it is Christmas-y too?

Also I am so proud of myself, I used Photoshop. Normally I use Digital Image Pro because I'm more familiar with it, and in my opinion it's more user friendly. And I know it doesn't do as many cool things as Photoshop, but I've never needed to do the cool, extra things, all I do is fairly basic stuff. But we leant Digital Image Pro to my sis-in-law, and meanwhile our poor computer crashed. (Ah, that was a very panicked day in this household, with a certain male's life under threat. But said male managed to fix the computer and live to see another day. Oh, and he will want me to mention that he is amazing for reviving the dead computer.) And we haven't gotten Digital Image Pro back from sis-in-law yet, so I don't have it on my computer, and have been learning how to use Photoshop.

For this post's picture it is the background, so you just get to enjoy the beauty of my background and my cleverness.

So, for the weekend we visited my family. When we visit, we get to stay in my old room, which has now been taken over by my little sister. This picture doesn't quite accurately depict the scariness of her decoration choice. My camera kept trying to adjust the color and all that. But think bright pepto bismal pink, with a bit of orange thrown in.

Yes, I am a dork and I took a picture of the sky. I know there was a bazillion other things I could've taken pictures of today, but you just can't ignore those random, impulsive ideas when they strike you in the middle of a parking lot.

So my reasons, because this picture probably deserves an explanation. The sky was so beautiful and blue today, with hardly a cloud. It always make me very happy when the sky is sunny and bright. Every time the sky looks so nice and perfect like that it makes me smile. Seriously, it looks like the sky is happy; laughing and smiling back at me. It's like the perfect color to skip to. Yes, I know I'm a dork, and sentimental one, or whatever adjective you were going to use. I'm sure it helps that my favorite color is blue, particularly that blue. That bright, smiley blue of a sky on a clear, sunny day. Sky blue, or whatever you call that. So I took a picture of the sky on a beautiful day because it makes me happy and it's my favorite color. The End.
