Techie Stuff

I don't know if you've noticed, but I've done a little bit of work on my blog. . ."What work?" I'm glad you asked! I:

  • Updated my profile

  • Decided to change my name (in the blogosphere) from Hannah Elizabeth to Hannah-Liz (Thanks Kaitlin for suggesting it!) I've been mostly going by Hannah-Liz for awhile now, but hadn't ever switched to it "officially" on my blog.

  • Cleaned up the sidebar by removing some clutter and worked on the link to FeedBurner.

  • Removed [NEW!] from the links that needed it removed.

  • Added some new links! (Be sure to check them out!)

  • Added music to my blog. (I'll talk about that in a minute.)

  • . . .Am I forgetting anything??? Oh, I also added a new stat counter. . .this one tells how many people are viewing my blog at the moment. Like right now if you are the only person viewing my blog, it says, "1 person online". Cool eh?

  • . . .And I think that's about it. . .

Now about the music. . .You are listening to (unless your volume doesn't work or you have it turned off. . .or you stopped the music. . .or you. . .I guess you get the idea! ;-) a song by Barlow Girl called "I Need You to Love Me". Hopefully I'll get to change songs every week so you won't get bored or annoyed by listening to the same song for months!

Important Note:

The other day I lost all the emails in my inbox. . .so if you sent me any emails Wednesday or Thursday please re-send them to make sure I recieve them!

Well, I think that covers everything!

Trip to the US

This is another interview. . .hope you don't mind! So here is me being interviewed by myself (again)!.

Reporter:

So Hannah, I've heard that you have been lazy about posting for the last, oh, I'd say 2 months. Is this true?

Hannah-Liz:

*looks very sheepish and weakly says:* Yes.

Reporter:

Why? Why would you do this to those who have been so very very faithful to read your blog and comment? Why! *pounds fist on table* Why! *ditto* Why *you get the idea* *tries to compose self*

Hannah-Liz:

Well, I've been busy.
Reporter:
Busy? Too busy to blog?!
Hannah-Liz:
Yes.

Reporter:

Okay. . .now lets begin.
Hannah-Liz:

You mean this isn't part of the interview and all of those questions were just a waste of time!
Reporter:
No. . .well yes. . .*getting embarrassed* lets just say that those questions were for my benefit. Now! Lets just move on!
Hannah-Liz:
*sighs and thinks to self, "This is going to be a long interview."*
Reporter:
Where did you go?

Hannah-Liz:

What? I'm right here! *looking confused*

Reporter:

I mean where did you go on your trip. That is what we're here to talk about!

Hannah-Liz:

Oh! We went to the US.

Reporter:

What did you do while you were there?

Hannah-Liz:

We visited a lot of family. Got to see my new 2nd cousin for the first time! She was born last December. And ate at some of those good restaurants. . .well actually quite a few! Got to visit Wal-Mart. Gotta love Wal-Mart! Did clothes shop

Reporter:

*interupts* You actually like Wal-Mart? *unbelief in voice*

Hannah-Liz:

Yes I do.

Reporter:

Why?

Hannah-Liz:

Well, there is a lot to see there, and they have great prices!

Reporter:

Uh huh. . .Well, did you do anything extrodinarily exciting while you were there?

Hannah-Liz:

In Wal-Mart?

Reporter:

No! *getting annoyed* Did you do anything else while you were in the US!

Hannah-Liz:

Oh! I got my driver's liscense! Yep, I can drive by myself legally in the US except between 11:00 pm and 6:00 am. That is because in TN they have the following rules: At 15 you can get your permit. After you get 50 hour of driving in (10 of them at night), are 16, and pass the road test you can get your intermediate restricted liscense (the one I have). At 17 you can move up to an intermediate unrestricted liscense and then at 18 you get your driver's liscense (you just still have under 21 printed on it).

Reporter:

*Yawning, yawning, and. . .yawning* That was long and boring.

Hannah-Liz:

*getting frustrated* Why do you have to be so rude?

Reporter:

Well, I'm trying to make this interview as interesting as possible!

Hannah-Liz:

Yeah, but can't you be a little nicer and still make it interesting?

Reporter:

Okay, I'll try. I'll try. But I'm not makin' any promises! So will you be diving in Belgium?

Hannah-Liz:

Ahem, DRIVING. You're not even listening! I said d-R-i-v-i-n-g
not d-i-v

Reporter:

*interrupts yet again* Okay, okay I get it.Then will you be DRIVING in Belgium?

Hannah-Liz:

I most likely won't get to 'cause you have to be 18 to drive here.

Reporter:

Hmmm. . .Sooo you had a good trip?

Hannah-Liz:

Yeah but a very tiring one.

Reporter:

And you are tiring me too! Everytime I interview you it's always about you. Why can't we ever discuss. . .me?!!!

Hannah-Liz:

Talking about me is what we're supposed to do because you are interviewing me not yourself!

Reporter:

Well, why don't you interview me sometime?! *pouting*

Hannah-Liz:

Well technically you are being interviewed because I am you and you are me. *smiling*

Reporter:

Then why are you arguing with yourself and infact talking to yourself. Isn't that a little wierd?

Hannah-Liz:

Uh huh. *nodding head*

Reporter:

Then why in the world do it?

Hannah-Liz:

'Cause it's fun! 'Cause it's neat! 'Cause it's different!

Reporter:

Okay okay. *rolls eyes* But can we stop now? You're tiring me out.

Hannah-Liz:

You said that already.

Reporter:

Can we just stop?!?!?!

Hannah-Liz:

Of course. We can do this later! Now wasn't that fun!

Reporter:

If you say so. . .*rolls eyes again*
