bonjour. so many cool things are going down here. as i may have told some of you i was hoping to go to florida thursday the seventeenth of this month, well no such luck. don’t feel too bad for me though, i’m gonna go see the dark knight with my bestest buddy on friday, because we should all know how heath ledger is my main squeeze. on top of that i’m saving for a new phone, i’ve had a crappy old env for 2 years now and i’m dying to get a new phone, it’s sad both my sisters have cool blackberries, and i get stuck with the env. ahaha. ohh, as you all may have noticed i put up a new layout, i actually made it as a web layout, but i fell in love with it so i decided to use it until i make a new one actually meant for the site, and i finally did away with the two iframes that i had for the updates box and the navigation, now i’m fully php! (:
i watched some more delicious dane cook today, haha. all the family was at my sister’s house for her birthday, and my nephew got us all into watching some comedy central he had recorded. i always feel so wierd when i watch comedy central with my mom and dad, because all the comedians get into sexual jokes and i’m sitting there silently and awkwardly laughing beside my parents. it’s just kind of wierd, anyone who’s been in sex-related situations like that knows what i’m talking about. anywho, my nephews all about dave attell that’s his favorite comic. which if you knew my nephew you’d think was really wierd, my nephew is all shy and secluded in his own mind, so for him to be enjoying dave attell’s stand-up is a little mismatched.
so for some site news, i’m in a layout race with one of my affies, allison, whoever has the most layouts on august 12 wins. i think she’s going to win, haha. i’m still trying to get around the new navigation on myspace, and i’m getting really close but i still have a few kinks to work out. in the mean time i’ll keep working on website layouts, my favorite to make, and default layouts. oh, and in case you were wondering, i’m still working on those remixed videos i was talking about on the last blog. i’m pretty sure i’m going to add a request form for handwritten fonts, you send in your handwriting and i’ll make it into a font. more updates, soon! oh, and since i almost got to 200 comments on the last blog, that’s my new comment goal! so chat me up! (:
 
important edit!
guess what babies? i do get to go to florida! i do! i do! i do! i leave thursday night, and won’t be back until july 27 i think! so i’ll try to update like crazy before i go so you all will have some parting goodies! i’m so excited, once i get back they’ll be some amazing updates put up, don’t miss me too much and leave me lots of comments! woohoo!
end important edit!

you would think as much as my computer hates me that i abuse it or something. this is the third time i’ve tried to post a new blog. the first two times my internet just decided to stop breathing, like it was on life support or something. lol.
have you ever laughed so much you’re just in a good mood? well i have now, i just got done watching dane cook on comedy central, he is officially my new favorite comic, of course i have only had one favorite comic before, kevin james and it was about an hour ago when i decided i liked him, but dane is now my only favorite. he is hilarious and oh, so sexy. d:
i think i am going to watch employee of the month again, i need more dane. i have seen it before but i just feel like watching it again.
like the new layout? i do, i think, lmao. i can not honestly say i have completely loved any of the layouts i have made. this is the closest i have been. haha. anywho, i am working on some remixed videos, they are really fun to make, so there might be one or two up this week; they are time consuming though. if you’d like to see your favorite movie, show, or song in one of the videos, leave a comment suggesting it, and i’ll consider it! i am also working on a bunch of icons, anything else you would like to see on the site, leave a comment suggesting it. thanks for all the comments on the last post, i almost got to 100, so that’s my new goal, chat me up and help me reach it!
i think i am going to re-do the playlist for the music player. i am tired of those songs already. i have been putting off layouts, because of the new navigation. i need to work on some codes to get rid of the new, and bring back the old, for the skinny and tabled layouts at least. the new navigation looks fine with all the default layouts, in my opinion. i will get on it this week, no telling how much time it will take to get everything situated, but i will put forth the effort anyways.
oh, and remember spring break when i went to the caribbean, and i said i would try to put some pictures up? well everytime i went to the store i would forget to bring the camera, it was disposable i forgot the digital, well i finally remembered it! so i should be getting the pics at the end of the week!
 
updates!? haha, 101 new icons, 92 regular and 9 animated, including 14 of dane cook.

haha, my mom and i watched music and lyrics the other day, and i fell in love with the movie so i got the soundtrack and i’m obsessed with it. it’s silly, but for some reason i still love it! so i’m sure you’ve noticed the new layout, i fall in and out of love with it, it’s much brighter than the last layout. i’m still not sure if i’ll keep it, but i’d really love some feedback on it!
i went out on the lake with my two best friends yesterday, and i got burnt to a crisp. which is bad because it of course increases the chance of skin cancer, but good because hopefully i’ll be a bit tan when school starts up. we went tubing, it was the first time i’ve been in 3 or 4 years i didn’t fall off! lol, i got off when my hands were about to give out, i’m always afraid i’ll fall off and land on a db {dead body} as i’m convinced there are plenty in the lake, or i’ll fall off and no one will notice and i’ll be left there, or i’ll drown, or fish will try and eat me, lol i know i’m silly.
i’m really happy with my new affies, i’ve acquired 16 new ones! thanks, to all that applied. i’ve recently broke a new record for this site, the highest individual visitors in one day is now 2,182! thanks everyone, (:
 
updates!? i’ve added six photoshop actions, one website layout, 12 new patterns, 12 quote banners, and 12 comment boxes.
don’t forget to check out the new music player! click the ‘music!?’ link under the ‘!psmash’ section.

BEGIN EDIT hola kittens, i’m working on a new site layout, and tons of new updates, just thought i’d let you know! the new stuff will be put up after i finish the new site layout. END EDIT
 
welcome to the grand re-opening of pastelsmash.com, lovies! a lot of stuff has been going on with the site since i took it offline last thursday for a revamp. i’ve added so much stuff and i have re-done the site to where it’s more user friendly, well i think so anyway. haha, but seriously, i am so into the site right now, i’ve been learning new stuff, like photoshop actions, i learned what they are, how to use them, and how to make them, they’re amazing, why did no one tell me about them!? lol. before i usually edited everything manually using good, old-fashioned photofiltre, which is still pretty amazing, now photoshop is my favorite editing program. (:
as i’m sure you can tell i’ve given the site a new, old look. i started out my site with a layout style similar to this, i know it’s not incredibly innovative or anything, but there are only so many ways to funtionally run a website, you know, and this one works for me. i’ve decided to do away with iframes, well, i say that now, who knows what i’ll say later. i almost completely did away with them, minus, the links section, and updates section. iframes were easy for me to work with, and i’ve never had problems with them, but i’ve been reading about other’s having problems with them, so i was like: “welp, better get rid of the problem before it starts.” same for cutenews, a lot of people have been experiencing problems with their cutenews blogs and comments being deleted, i never had any problems with that, but i decided to change over to fan update, (which is way better than anything i’ve ever used.) while i was already revamping the site.
i’ve also been reading about the ie vs. ff debate. i would love for there to be only one web browser ever made, the site layout as simple as it is, was heck trying to get it to work almost seemlessly in both the browsers, i have been using ie, ever since i didn’t even know that you couldn’t put spaces in urls, i was little guys, give me a break! and thanks to jack i decided to download ff, to see how different ie and ff really were. i would probably use ff more but there’s something wierd going on with the font when you go to google, and other places like it, the font is all small and you can’t read it, and i go to google more than i go to my own site, haha. i’ve been to busy and on some days lazy to try and figure out what the deal is with the font problem.
i wish there was only one browser, or at least that all the browsers and whatever else, would read everything the same. but life’s not like that is it?
i took almost everything old off, i’m either deleting them permanently or updating them, i’m a week overdue with the big update, and i am still working on some sections, but i just can’t stand to have the site offline any longer. all of the old layouts were taken off so i can update them to work well in firefox. they will be back soon, loveys.
