So yeah, all you people on my flist going on about your nice weather? Shut up. This was the view of my backyard today :(



Although, to be honest, I prefer the snow over the rain. I *hate* spring. It is my most hated season of the year. I'd rather it be winter. Spring is just so mushy, and wet and muddy and *ugly* The thing I hate most about this weather is that it's making spring drag on, and repeat. Gah, why can't we just get to summer?

LJ Help!

Grrr...
So, I've been thinking about changing the look of my LJ. Quite frankly, the layout I made sucks. A lot.

And my mood theme is still the Justin one made by [livejournal.com profile] kitkatbyte, which I love, but I've been using since I got a paid LJ, and also, I never got around to changing it from being hosted on her site to being hosted on mine, and she'd probably like it if I stop stealing her bandwidth.

I found this really nice McShep moodtheme by [livejournal.com profile] nellhowell but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get it to work! I uploaded the pics, set the permissions on all of them to 755, and followed her instructions which involved a lot of typing in URLs for each pic, and it didn't work. I tried doing it the way [livejournal.com profile] kitkatbyte explained (which worked when I originally uploaded her mood theme).

But still, no matter what, when I go and look at the mood theme it says "no image". I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! I even checked the URLs and they work if I just throw them into the address bar. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Virginia

I know that by now most people have heard about the shootings in Virginia.

It's always sad to hear about things like this. I had a minor freak out, because I know [livejournal.com profile] guest_age lives in Virginia (ok, so it's actually West Virginia, but I suck at American geography).

I completely forgot though, that some of my family recently moved to Virginia. I have one cousin who is still in high school, but takes college courses. It turns out he's not taking them at Virginia Tech, but that is the school that he's going to next year, and he was visiting there two days ago.

Very scary.
