It will be comical

By Donna | Published: April 19, 2010

One day, the events of the past two days will be funny. A hilarious story to tell just about everyone, though highly embarrassing for my father. But today is not that day. Today I’m scared shitless and wishing more than anything I wasn’t here alone.

This is not a happy story

Where indeed

By Donna | Published: April 8, 2010

A few days ago, I got the urge to forego music and tryout audiobooks while working on my computer. Over the weekend, I went with Bettina to get our nails done and and at the salon, they were playing a marathon of Twilight’s new dvd release. I cringed. I wasn’t a fan of the original movie and wondered why women were. So to attempt to understand their facination, I downloaded the audiobook version of Twilight. Maybe listening/reading the book would be better than the movie.

Trying to find myself

By Donna | Published: April 6, 2010

After I posted last night, I began to think about my online identity. Since it’s inception 6 years ago, taintly-faded.org was always my personal space. A place where I had a blog (most of the time) and where I would post my creative ventures, mainly fan videos. It’s even now my screen name on just about every site I sign up at.

On the other hand, donna-logic.com was created a year later to separate my fanlistings from my personal things. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been trying to tie the two back together, a blog and my fanlistings. That’s been unsuccessful.

So I caved and renewed taintly-faded.org yet again. It’s a piece of me I’m not yet ready to part with.

And on that note, I present to you, a new and improved and css coded by me version of the site. It was a couple weeks in the making. I couldn’t seem to find the right theme, so I opted for the Thematic Framework and inspiration from a ton of minimalistic sites.

WordPress Woes

By Donna | Published: April 2, 2010

I really am trying to blog more. However, when I visit my own site, I’m a bit repulsed at the layout(s). I’ve been searching the internet for what seems to be weeks looking for the perfect theme, but to no avail. Oh wait, I have spotted quite a few, but for a hefty price; and that folks ain’t gonna happen because I’m broke.

So I’ve decided to take it upon myself to create my own. Now that’s another hefty price on me, time. I don’t really have much of that just laying around. As a matter of fact, I barely have any. But I’m going to try.

I’ve downloaded the Thematic Framework and I’ll be attempting to mesh together the themes I liked into one enormous Donna-Logic creation. It’s litteraly been years since I’ve worked on a WordPress theme, so I am a bit rusty. I’m hoping by using the Thematic Framework, it’ll be a bit easier and hopefully faster.

Here’s to wishful thinking… Maybe it’ll be done by my birthday in 23 days. Hopefully.

Oh and let us have a moment of silence for the fallen taintly-faded.org. It expired.

Growing up in a Digital World

By Donna | Published: March 22, 2010

Well folks, I’ve made a few decisions these last few days.

1. I will blog. No really, I will.
2. I’m giving up my paid livejournal. It’s pointless and useless now.
3. I’m giving up taintly-faded.org. Yes, that’s right. I will not renew my baby this year, and this time I mean it.
4. I will blog. No really, I will. See, if I keep telling myself, It will happen
