So.

So, I got it last night....
I was adding some stuff, but the webftp program stopped working. Darn it, in the last several hours I have been so stressed out. Last night I was learning the ropes and felt a wave of regret for buying it, and today when I finally understand I can't even update. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, just that it's now unable to connect. There are currently three pages up but it's NOT PRESENTABLE AND NOT READY so don't bug me about it.
I was happy this morning, but now I don't know again. No one needs another creativity/Pokemon fan site. Nobody. I don't want to figure out every single problem Dreamhost decides to throw my way. It's overwhelming, so please don't bug me about it. Don't be smug like, "I knew you couldn't do it!"
It just looks so lame up there, and helpless. I don't care if I'm using the wrong terms or whatever, this is the worst time possible to chastise me for something that trivial.

I just hope no one looks at it. Ever. I wanted something to work towards, but it's going to eat me alive. And now this is failing, too. It's not publishing to Blogspot.
*frazzled*

Super Special Christmas Update

Okay... Okay... One of my gifts was... Fifty dollars! :D And I already had enough... But Dreamhost is having a sale...
I need to talk to my dad. I'm going to very likely get the two year plan... And well, you know the drill! ^_^
Merry Christmas to whoever reads this... Basically no one, but it's nice to talk to yourself sometimes. I don't know when Ubu Panoozi's opening date/birthday will be... But looks like good news all around.
:D

Hello

Hi! This is my first post. :)
I'm Lea, the aforementioned one!
Ubu Panoozi wishes you a Merry Christmas. I'm really looking forward to it myself. I really don't have anything interesting to say. Sorry you can't have a giant wall of text like you're used to. Bye!

I talked to my mom....

Dreamhost seems to be having a pretty neat sale (only $64 for two whole years) so I talked to my mom. She isn't sure. I told her it would be very creative, but she was worried about safety. Eh? I talk to strangers all the time. I'll just tell her that communications would be minimal, which is severely unlikely, what with affiliation and all the neat contests it might be fun to do. I just don't see the harmer in talking to "strangers".
It's not like everyone on the Internet is a pedophile, secretly fifty, or both! I told her it would be in dad's name (his credit cards), and she asked if I'd talked to him. I haven't, but that's because she's the one who typically masterminds/shoots down things. None of my parents know what a website entails, or how much it costs. I have enough money, and Lea has a huge, huge amount, though she's unwilling to spend it. About Lea- she hasn't really posted here, has she, but I'm fairly sure she's reading this because she asked me about the layout. She's making some original characters, still, like a magical chandler named Chandler and her sister, Redo. She doesn't have a single male original character. I bet her posts would be fairly interesting; she should make an account and I'll let it post to this blog. They would hopefully not ramble as much as mine or act victimized as much as Relith's- so, Relith.
I left some pretty harsh comments on her entries, because I was steamed. More than a little hurt, kind of in "Good riddance" mode. I just don't think it was fair how she acted like we were being horrible to her while we weren't. I wasn't trying to shunt her art aside at all- she always acted like that a couple of months ago. She felt bad, like people put her down. :/ I don't understand her anger- yeah, I gave lots of attention to Lea's art, but anger at that is basically little more than petty jealousy. I understand not being valued, but I always left uplifting, meaningful messages after her little rants, letting her know I did care.
I hate to stir up such conflict on Christmas Eve (ha, yeah right), but hopefully no one will read my comments. Well, they will now that I directed attention towards them. You'll be glad to know that at least I mean every word- I wasn't fabricating mean things to say! Sincere hostility.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Ubu Panoozi is coming along- whether anyone reads this blog or not. I don't care if they do. I get to vent quite a bit. If Lea would contribute, that would be dandy. I wonder what sort of art projects she'll be doing for Ubu Panoozi. I may post later. I do love vacation. For some reason it feels like the end of something.... Like there won't be anything after January First. I don't know why.

Several small pages on locations in Sinnoh done (not strictly informational)!

I'm not very good with information. I wrote some pages today about locations in Sinnoh, but they weren't walkthroughs or basic informational pages, just slightly bad jokes and descriptions. I have problems with being serious. A lot of my time lately has been sacrificed to Diamond.

So, the pages were, for all you uninterested people:

• Twinleaf Town (too short, basically whining about how boring Twinleaf is)
  
• Sandgem Town (so saaaandy)
  
• Jubilife City (everyone here is nice, poking fun at the "huge" population)
  
• Oreburgh City (harmful to miners)
  
• Floaroma Town (hell for people with allergies)
  

That's it. Expect more really dumb location babbling later. I need to create an index page explaining them. So, now I have a bunch of pages that I should coral and count, and none are pages with boring box art, detailing the new features in a game, so I am doing pretty well. I'm going to ask Relith/Itoe to tutor me in the art of making a quiz, since I lack knowledge about that sort of thing, or I might use Butterfree's free quiz scripts. It just seems much more fulfilling to create the quiz myself and marvel about it. So, Itoe created Echoless Snow (old name: Morphine Rose) over at Wordpress, and that's her site, go look at it. Not much at it at press time, but you can expect things.

Current page count:

5 location pages, 2 affiliation pages, 1 unfinished Lifespan of a Pokemon page (pure speculation), 1 webmastering page (color combinations/schemes from heck), 1 page about Pokemon that resemble food, 1 "The Factor Factor" page, 1 tentative page/activity where we interview art thieves under the pretense of asking about "their" work, 1 dumb page about Pinkan Berries that will go unposted, and possibly more because I'm just that hardcore. So, eleven (11) current pages, not counting the unfinished one and one I thought was dumb. The tentative page is included although I am not sure about this. Got an art thief problem? Contact me. It does seem slightly immature, though, and I don't know if it seems like harassment.

I have an idea for a quiz that requires understanding of quiz script, and another idea about a common thing that gamers suffer from, so I will be nerdy and spend loads of time typing them up.

Layout progress:

Tentative layout, unfinished (lacks images), needs polishing, though it is not obnoxious. *sends out hopeful Lea signal* She's working on original character designs and development, but I may prod her to work on some design ideas for the banner/decorative other things.

Merry Christmas to all, in case I don't catch you before Christmas Day. I need to convince my parents to let me have my random creativity/fan site soon.

Goodbye, everyone. I'm hoping to ask my parents, and I hope they oblige. :D

Hello again.

Wow, time gets away from a person! Between working on a layout, attempting to make pages, and speculating, Ubu Panoozi has sort of progressed. :D

I was unhappy to learn that Eonlight Valley has been highjacked! It's a fairly popular site, and the wonderful webmistress is of course not giving up. She's currently working things out and hoping that the problem will be rectified. Read her account on her deviantART here- http://kronakitty.deviantart.com/journal/21851732/...

Enough with the boring webmastering news bulletin- you probably all know that or don't care. I just admire Kronakitty's hard work and devotion to that site.

I'm attempting to write a page on how long Pokémon live… It's coming along, sort of. My best friend spent the night, so I'm sort of sapped of interesting things to say. For all of you (nobody) waiting for Ubu Panoozi to get somewhere, I have been trying. I get frustrated sometimes, and my page ideas were leaving me. Ah, well, I'm tired, and I have some things to work on, so we'll keep this mercifully brief! Tune in next time for another "update". And I hope EV is back up soon! Goodbye.

Attention Duelists!

MY HAIR IS TELLING ME IT'S TIME TO BOARD.

"Oh no," you whimper. "Not Abridged Series references!" But the webmaster just laughs.

"Fool," they sneer. "Stop turning this into a story. This is a blog post, not an epic novel. But if it were…"

You shake your head, and then craftily reveal your weapon: the webmaster's awful attempts at drawing.

Their eyes widen.
"You wouldn't!"

"I will if you don't promise to never make Abridged Series references again," you threaten.

"Ha, like I'll stop!" The webmaster laughs. You shake your head again…

"Hey, everyone!" You stage-whisper, dramatically holding out the bad art. "Come see-"
"No!" screeches the webmaster. "I won't do it again! Just- just don't show anyone the art!" You set it down, smugly. Another day saved by you, the visitor. Another viewer spared from Abridged Series references. And then you realize this is supposed to be a blog post, and it's all another plot of the webmaster. She's typing it right now… What a nightmare! You scamper down the line, dodging text, but you trip. You're trapped!

And our story ends here.

Anyways, I've been attempting to draw (not pretty) lately. Thanks for the plug by Relith ( http://morphinerose.wordpress.com/ ) who doesn't live here anymore. I want to wish you guys a Happy Thanksgiving. I get time off so I might make pages- and I might make some today. It's sometimes difficult to think of ideas, but that's part of the lovely challenge.

I suppose I will attempt to draw more visitors to read my dull antics by linking from various accounts. I know it's not a well-done blog, but it won't always be a blog.

I spent most of my morning thinking about meeting several celebrities and wondering what it would be like. It involved exaggerated squealing. Yeah, I'll spare you guys.

It's almost December and the weather is rather crazy. It gets warm but then it suddenly becomes cool and foggy or overcast. I prefer the fog, really. It hasn't rained yet (typical California).

Lea also got me hooked on the Babymouse comics. They are pretty cute. They're VERY quick reads, though. They were probably designed for younger kids, but I still like them. :3

I don't think Ubu Panoozi will be up as soon as I originally did. This time last year I was dreaming of a website, planning out layouts on pieces of paper (and hiding them from the teacher). I had a huge amount of ideas for pages that I won't use. That seems so long ago, even though last (school) year was probably the shortest year of my life. I feel like I want to say thanks… must be early Thanksgiving spirit. I might, just might, update my deviantART with an actual drawing. I'm practicing. I'm not very good.
