Happy belated birthday, Mom!

So yesterday was my mother's birthday, but unfortunately it wasn't really a happy one. Right now, I'm still at home visiting my parents since I attend a university now. Well, we went to Win's Buffet for my mother's birthday, which would have been rather nice if my sister had actually decided to join us, and if my father had been nicer towards my mother. Of course, I will explain the whole background story in later posts, so it's all very confusing at this point.
Anyway, I know that I said I would set up post on the 25th, I believe, but I just didn't get to it. So, I apologize for that, and as everyone can see, I set up a new template. Well, I didn't... It's courtesy of createBlog.com (I will set them up as a new link as soon as possible) and someone calling him-/herself Torngemini, so thank you for creating it and letting me use it.
In case you're wondering why I picked this template, well, I love Angelina Jolie, and yes, I have a boyfriend and he knows about my love for Angelina Jolie...or extraordinary women in general.
Well, I had better stop for now, especially since I found some more websites that can help me play around and change my blog.
One last thing: I love you Mom, I know your birthday wasn't that great, and I promise that I will set up a post dedicated to you very soon!!!

Mistakes in earlier post

Well, it seems that I was still asleep when I wrote the post this morning because I noticed two mistakes. One of them was also mentioned in the comment to that post, so I definitely need to correct it.
First correction: In line ten, I wrote "The last link is to a website a visit rather...", but it is supposed to be "The last link is to a website I visit rather...".
Second correction (the mistake pointed out in the comment): In line 15, I wrote "...this case the emphasis is on Japan animation.", which was partially correct, but it's supposed to be "...this case the emphasis is on Japanese animation.".
Small mistakes, but I still felt the need to correct them.
Anyway, thank you Anonymous for pointing out my second mistake!
I hope that everything is correct now, so I'll end this post now.
Keep on sending comments, I appreciate them!
Take care everyone, and I'll post again tomorrow!

Link explanations

Well, I know that I wanted to write a second post yesterday, but I just didn't get to it in the end.
Anyway, good morning everyone! Right now I'm sitting in The Java House because...well, I just felt like it. What can I say, I like cafes...
Let's see...oh yeah, I wanted to explain the links I set up! When I set up my blog, I was provided with three links, which are the first three on the list. I then set up a link to Blogger.com, which I explained in the last message. After that, I set up three links to blogs and/or websites of friends. Trifthen is a link to a friend's website, Devamon a link to my boyfriend's blog, and Kwyndig a link to a friend's blog. The last link is to a website a visit rather often, which is Anime Central's website. In case you don't know what Anime Central is, it is supposedly the largest anime convention in the Midwest, which I must agree with...
Well, and if you don't know what anime is, it is short for animation, and in this case the emphasis is on Japan animation.
Hmm, I explained my links, so that's it for now.
Please feel free to check them out, and since my comments section is now visible, please feel free to write me comments as well.
Take care everyone!

Yay! A new post and some changes to the Links section

After some initial difficulties with setting up my blog, it is now officially up and running. Yay! I have also added some more links other than the ones I was provided with in the beginning. Most of these lead to blogs of friends or to sites that I visit more often. Of course, I also had to set up a link to Blogger.com since they are allowing me to do this for free.
I will be setting up more links as soon as possible so watch out for that.
Hmm...is there anything else?
I guess not, at least not for now, but hopefully I will write another longer post later today.
So, have a great day and take care!

Hey!

This is my first post, so be gentle. I just moved to Iowa City this month, and school just started today, so I'm still trying to get used to everything. I think that's all I'm gonna write for now, but I will definitely write more soon.
Bye, good night, and take care!
