interesting personal sites and a date

I’m on the hunt for interesting personal sites, because I love finding sites with really pretty layouts and then reading all about the person that made them. Then if they have a funny blog, well! I’m just set. Here’s what I’ve found so far:

rogue.essence.nu
I love how it’s very modular, with each section being in a different color that matches the link image on the main page. Her blog’s funny, too. If I had a MySpace account, I’d totally be hitting up her layouts, because MySpace is freakin’ ugly by default.
grumblemuffin.net
The layout is pleasant enough, but what really caught my eye is 1) her entry about guinea pigs and 2) the humorous way in which she wrote said entry. But… I love guinea pigs! Squeak squeak squeeeeeak!
slow-down.org
I really like this layout. It follows the typical image on top, sidebar + main area below with the patterned background, but I like how the labels in the main image hang down into the sidebar. Makes the whole layout feel less boxy. She also has pretty photos for wallpaper.


Tonight, Todd and I are going on a double date with Ashlee and Brent, Todd’s brother. (I feel like I’ve written about this in here before, but then I couldn’t find it. Bear with me if I have–I’m growing forgetful in my old age.) We’re supposed to see a movie and get dinner, pretty basic. However, it was up in the air because Brent’s visiting his parents this weekend and won’t be back till this evening, and Ashlee’s concerned about getting her homework done. It’s also a blind date for her, so she might be nervous. Anyway, I hope it goes well and is fun for all involved. We’re seeing ‘Accepted’.

  • sarah! if you would call me.. i would explain to you.. i have my very own cell phone.. please call me so i can get your address and write you a letter.

  • I’ve never heard of the film you guys are seeing tonight, but I hope you four have fun! Although won’t it be odd for Todd and his brother to be on a date at the same time? Haha.

  • We ended up watching Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it was fun!
