I’m finally back & I apologize for the site’s downtime this past week. There wasn’t anything wrong with the server, we just had some financial difficulties but I helped out. :) The trip to New York was great even though it was hot & rained. The food was delicious & the 7 day cruise down to Bermuda was really fun. :party: The boat was set to dock at Bermuda for 2 & a half days. Unfortunately, Hurricane Bill had to come charging at us :emo: so we had to leave the island a day earlier leaving us only with a day & a half to see Bermuda & 3 sea days instead of 2. :( Here are some random pictures from the trip.

Read more here. I think is probably one of the funniest texts I’ve read on the site. I’d love to meet this math teacher. :D

Well it looks like you had a wonderful time. Though that sucks you had to leave  Bermuda a day early. I will have to have a look through your album.

Wow haha. I usually just blog what happens in my day. It’s kind of obvious that I don’t update a lot lmao!
 
It’s not hard to validate CSS. Some people have problems though haha… and especially with lightbox. :O
 
Oh right on. I found one error with the JS on your site. You always have to write type=text/javascript within the tag. Stupid type attribute. D: And there is another error from the cbox iframe, the “allowtransparency” thing is apparently invalid.
 
I think you just gained more errors after writing this blog, lmao. There is a  </a>  tag missing after the photo slideshow in this blog. :P
 
Oh, haha. Bokeh is pretty cute :O   All of a sudden I had an idea for a domain name with bokeh. Hahha. I had a hard time trying to do that. I always wanted to achieve that effect but because I don’t have the best camera, I had to try pretty hard. I was proud of that picture! :D
 
And I seriously love taking light stock like that at night. :D
 
Oh I know what you mean hahha. I get a lot of hits from one of my affiliates but we’re also good friends so, no biggie. XD
 
Good luck with your brother’s site. :P I am surprised you don’t have a plog already with all those wonderful photos. :)
 
Good to see you fixed up the downtime in the end, haha.
 
I love the clouds in that photo by the beach! Oh and I also noticed you take a lot of photos of sushi. *drool*
 
I have never been on a cruise. Only on a ferry a few times to travel in small bodies of water. Pretty boring. :P   I’m glad we don’t get many hurricanes here, but it’s a shame you had to come back early!
 
LOL, that teacher sounds funny. XD

Guhhh I wanna look at your pics, but I’m at work and I don’t think this computer can handle it haha. So I looked at those 6 pics you have there (computer almost died) and enjoyed the fishes picture, and cannot get over how much you look like your mother.
How long were you in NYC? I got struck my Hurricane Bill too! Except by the time it reached us it was just Tropical Storm Bill, haha. Got dumped with a lot of rain, but we get a lot of rain and high winds every other day, so it wasn’t a big deal. Everyone was freaking out, thinking it was going to be like armageddon. Not so much haha.

Sounds like you had fun!  I’m sorry Hurricane Bill cut into your trip, though!  ~__~;;  That had to be a bummer, but better safe than sorry, eh?
That sushi picture looks yummy, and I don’t even like sushi!  How ironic! :D

i will look into your ask script! i liked bella because it was simple but it’s not working for me anywmore.

From the pictures it looks like you’ve had an amazing time! The food did look delicious! Some of the food in your gallery look’s amazing! How they decorated it looked so cool! Aww sucks that the hurricane ruined your cruise! I heard it was coming for NY and I started freaking out haha. That sucks about the weather when you were in NY too Our weather always sucks. Omg, the food you had in Bermuda is making me so hungry!
 
Museum of sex!!! hahaha Omg, did you take those pictures of the buildings from the tour bus? They’re so clear! Oh wait! i forgot to tell you! I’m getting a nikon! That one you mentioned before whose name I don’t know lol But I’m getting one! SO excited! haha Haha I loved that you guys had ponchos! ahah That was cute!
Haha good to know you’re back! OMFG I think I’ve had that pizza! It sucked! haha I’m telling you the one in Little Italy is amazingg! Next time you get to NYC I’ll meet ya there and we can bond over the amazing pizza! lmao
 
Hmm, I don’t think Soho and Fashion Ave are the same? I think Soho is more like fashiony boutiques and expensive crap and 34th are more like stores yo’d see in a mall. Hahaha sorry lmao My taste in stores sucks then! haha AHH TOPSHOP! LOVE ITT! haha It is expensive! haha That’s why I didn’t mention it lmao. I hope you get a topshop in LA! Aww that’s cute that your parents brought it home for you! 27 bucks for pasta? Geez! What greedy Italians haha.
 
Eww, banana hammocks? I didn’t need to know that! hahaha Omg, you’re so right! No one should be allowed to wear a banana hammock to a water park! haha YES. Deavid Beckham is one mother effing sexy beast! But his voice isn’t one of those amazing English ones.

Oooh! Sounds like a fun trip! Sorry about it getting cut short, it must have been kind of scary with a hurricane spinning about.

But thanks, Tiff :D I’m really sorry about the inactivity. Hopefully these laptops will do better. But, I hope the other hostees start updating again.

Hmm… so I do! I’ll get to it later, I’m supossed to be working on German and IB Philosophy anyway.

But we’ve just had a lot of bad luck with desktops, and anyway, it’s easier for people to spy on you ;)

hi hi hi. oh girl, don’t apologize for not being around. as long as you had the time of your life don’t worry about the viewers. but, it’s a good thing to think about. okay i’m weird sorry. i’m glad that you enjoyed your trip! I love NY! NYC the most but NY is gorgeous all around. You’re so lucky you got to go on a cruise. Its on my “bucketlist”. lol.

Oh! Four errors. It’s actually just one of your divs. You’re forgetting to close one. I’m not entirely sure where (the validator shows it roughly where the div started). But if you add /div somewhere near the end of your coding, it would be valid. XD
 
Haha maybe they’re too noob. It seems that there are errors in the actual Lightbox CSS or something.
 
Aww yeah, you do have a lot of photos! I love the sound of tiffanybee.com though. It sounds more like a personal site though. I still like Aesthetic Intoxication. When I moved from a subdomain to a domain I kind of wanted to keep my name, but then again I didn’t. It was called “Out The Window” and it was just that I probably grew a bit sick of the domain.
 
Haha I might go when I get a bit older, with friends or something. My family aren’t ones for cruises!
 
Anyway just thought I’d randomly blurt out I HAVE A NEW GRAVATAR. CAN YOU SEEGS ITTZ? 8D

Oh, I forgot to say one of my favorite pictures from your batch is the one with the foot. Hahah. It was random, but an interesting addition to the photo gallery/album. :)
Well, the only reason I am using Century Gothic is because it goes with the thin-ish font I am using in my whole layout. I cannot find a default font that worked, so Century Gothic will just have to play a part of my theme for this one time! :( I hate to use it, but it’s alright. I am slowly accepting Century Gothic, so I am not hating it entirely.
Actually, I do not know the exact date, but I know what month it is. So that is better than not remembering. :\  I don’t like aging either. I never thought of it that way…oh wells, I don’t mind. I love the feeling that it’s “my birthday.”
Oh yeah, I would love your validated theme! <3 Thanks for sharing with me. I hope I don’t get accused by others that I am using your theme or have it similar like what’s-his-name did. :S
Thanks and take care<3

Haha well you don’t have to tell me what it is. I have friends who hate their Chinese name so they changed it.
 
Haha I have a friend called Jason; he’s nice. I knew a Jake and Josh in high school too. :P
 
I also know a Katherine and a Katelyn… but yes, there are many ways to spell the two.
 
Baha oh dear. No one’s ever stolen my future baby names really – they’re too queer and unusual that people probably wouldn’t. XD
 
Thank you! I got sick to death of that butterfly. It looked ugly in a bigger size. I find this one more appropriate if people are going to recognise me.
 
Bahha. What annoys me is when people introduce their friend Stacey in a blog, who likes a guy called David, and then this girl called Anna comes along and she used to date a guy called Seth but then… blah. It’s so annoying when people talk about so many people! I usually just say “my friend”. The only people I really mention are James and Lilian, my boyfriend and best friend. Fair enough.
 
I don’t remember writing too many emo-moody blogs but I feel bad when I have a whinge about something on my blog. Sometimes people write about poopy crap really.
 
LMAO. I like the layout for your brother’s site. I can’t wait to see TEH LULZ.
 
Aww Andrea Tiffany Designs actually sounds pretty cool. I had a site named Beyond Paradise. Bahaha.
 
You’re welcome! <333 I’m glad it worked though bah. It’s a common error, don’t worry. Usually if you forget one small thing, there are a million errors. I remember forgetting one bloody apostrophe in my CSS, and my site looked like a dog’s breakfast in IE. What a douche. D:

Ohh wow it sounds like your trip was superawesome! It’s good to hear that it went well.. One of the guys I work with went to Halifax, NS last week for a wedding and Hurricane Bill hit on the day of the wedding! How terrible! Anyways, it’s good that you still got to see Bermuda, even if only for a little while. New York is always rainy. >> Especially this year for some reason! <3333 Glad you had fun, beautiful photos!

Thanks for the advice on the splash page. I had tried for, like, forever to do it but I never changed the general settings. I still haven’t got it to work yet but hopefully I’m still working on it.& yeah Wal-Mart is evil :/. I’ve been working there for three years so I’ve definitely seen it in little things throughout the years, it’s really sad.& I already participate in the Relay For Life and stuff like that and I know all that helps a lot but it still doesn’t make me feel much better. This sounds horrible, well maybe not, but it would be so much better if just mean people would get stuff like that. I could live with jerks getting these horrible diseases but it always happens to good people, it seems. & yeah boob jobs are really expensive and she works at Wal-Mart too so she probably couldn’t afford one :/. And I don’t think any of that really bothers her but her mother died from it and that’s probably what’s worrying her, and me, the most.Oh I didn’t even notice your site was down because I hadn’t been online in a while lol. That’s no fun that it rained a lot on your trip but at least you still had fun. Aw, that’s horrible that the hurricane cut your trip short :[. Was it scary or did you even see the hurricane?Oh and that random text is hilarious :]. If I’m ever a teacher I totally will do that. Only if the kid is a complete underachiever though, some kids that maybe do good all the time and got one F would literally freak out lol.

Haha I LOVE THEM TOOOOOO. I flipped out when Ben Jorgensen (the lead singer) replied to me on Twitter.
 
Omg, brothers are such… grr. Idiots. It’s like the time a girl told me to code her a layout and she never used it.
 
Ugh, that is pretty annoying. I would have disliked it in that situation but I don’t think I’d snap like you did, haha. I’d leave a short comment like “yes, if you read properly, that is my family”.
 
Your blogs are pretty short too, so it’s not that hard to read so little, no!
 
Haha I haven’t seen any band play, but I LOVE AFS. <3  I really want to see them too; don’t think they have ever been to Australia.
 
Haha well I’m pretty disorganised and my room is ick. But I dislike it when she expects me to do all the chores there are… blech! Washing clothes, dishes, sweeping, blah, ironing, blah. D:
 
Sometimes I don’t like doing favours for people I don’t know well. Sometimes they just want shit from me and that’s the only time they ever ask. RAWR.

Hmm.. Well I guess I do promounce “about” like “aboot”, now that I really think about it? But I wouldn’t say it’s anyyything close to Irish/Scottish? When I go to New York, which is like, all the time.. They pretty much sound the same as me, and they can usually never tell that I am Canadian, haha. American’s promounced some of their “o”s like “a”s, I find. Like “tomorrow” sounds alot like “tomarrow”, if that makes sense? Haha. I’m a huge loser. XD
