’cause I can’t stand annoyances…
…and it’s cold here at the moment, even if it’s early autumn. But that’s beside the point. Having just upgraded to WP 2.5, I have to say the admin panel looks a hell of a lot easier on the eyes; light colours, simple fonts, nothing eye-gouging. Which is what I like in a user interface, except for the fact that, being the maladroit bum that I can be (usually at 3am when I decide to blog without a cup of coffee but with puffy red eyes), it’ll take me a while to get used to everything. Give me a few days and I’ll tinker obnoxiously around with it; if you randomly see a PHP fatal error, you can safely assume I completely screwed something over.
My foot is going well; it’s been just under a week since I pretty much stacked it cluelessly, and I can now walk with 80% of my weight placed on the instep of my foot — and the rest of it dispersed cautiously on the rest of the area — without either crying out in pain, grimacing, or hobbling over to the nearest chair or chair-like surface. It still does hurt a fair bit, though. With a dance competition looming on Sunday (you watch, I bet I’ll somehow jinx myself just before it), I hope it heals in time for me to at least squeeze a bit of practice in on Saturday night. SO! *claps hands together* Lesson of the week here: Don’t be an ignorant idiot and ignore that nagging bit of pain in your foot, because you could end up pulling a muscle and injuring tendons. I was going to post a photograph of my bandaged foot in all its glory, but I’m too lazy.
On a completely unrelated topic, has anyone else ever come across a person online who seems to act stupid just to get attention? (Alright, that may be a defunct question, but anyway.) I’m talking more than just your average image of stupid. It baffles me why people would consistently fall back on a charade of idiocy, and then turn around in another circumstance and attempt to seem intelligent. Take the following, no doubt enlightening conversation I had with a few acquaintances a few days ago, about the definition of an “Asian” (for the sake of this demonstration, let’s call her ???):
???: aisian to me is chinese and japanese. i’ve never heard of india being asian. Oo
Friend 1: I’m pakistani, so when people say asian, I think india and around there. since it is in asia isn’t it?
???: i should have said chinese, japanese, etc. because of umm… north and south korea? and i don’t think india is in asia. …is it?
Me: Anyone within this thread who thinks that India is NOT in Asia, ask yourselves… Did you pass third-grade Geography?
???: so wait. india IS in asia?
Me & Friend 1: Yeah. It’s in Asia.
Friend 2: Where else would India be if it wasn’t in Asia?
???: europe? it’d be in europe!
Me: …you didn’t just say Europe, did you?
Friend 3: Right, get an atlas out.
Keeping in mind that this is the same person who likes to brag about how one of her IQ tests resulted in 75, and enjoys talking about inventing warm ice (no, really), Tom Welling, how thick her hair is on a daily basis, and how she plans, in the seven months that there are left before she turns 17, to elevate her IQ by at least ten points. Really, there’s only so much of this crap you can take before it stops getting lulzy and starts to get really. bloody. irritating.
Does anyone else see a total headdesk pattern going on here?

WP 2.5 is lovely, but I’m going to keep using Expression Engine. Besides, EE’s new User Interfase has been designed by Veerle <3
Anyway, that girl sounds really stupid…

And I thought my geography sucked. Man, she has issues =/ She’s definitely limiting Azns. Heck, I know many types of Asians: Chinese, Malay, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, *list goes on*
Don’t hurt yourself again :P I’m sure it hurts a lot, so take care and heal that toe A.S.A.P! *I don’t know how it can actually be achieved though…*
I like the new WordPress admin, minus the strange orange colour that seems to appear all of a sudden =_=” But the functionality seems to be better, although theres 23896141 functions that I’d never use :P

OFF / Yes, I’m into Anime/Manga. I like Clamp’s proyects. But I don’t do cosplay, I haven’t got time to do costumes.

Haha, I think I’d only be able to handle her when she’s talking about Tom Welling. People who act stupid annoy me.

Wordpress 2.5 is…alright I guess, with the exception of the widgets integration. That part took a while for me to figure out how to use properly. The navigation in the widgets page is more complicated than it was in previous versions of Wordpress.
I’ve never pulled a tendon before, but I bet it’s painful. It’s nice to hear that your foot is getting better though.
Wow…um…yeah…India is the second most populated country in the world. To mistake it for a country in Europe is O.o?! That reminds me of someone I knew in 8th grade who thought Alaska was by Hawaii because on an atlas, it’s sliced off from the area by Canada and placed next to Hawaii.
Considering the average IQ score of roughly 100, that must be embarrassing to not realize 75 is quite a ways below average ;;>_>

Hey, people thought New Zealand was in Europe! “It’s next to Australia.” “Where’s that?” So it’s not just NZ being a small country, it’s people being stupid.
