Denial Is a Real Bummer
(Warning: A couple of paragraphs of nothing but whines and bitchings…)
I know that when I am denied for something, it’s not the end of the world, but since I’m such a whiney baby I still want to complain like it is. I just want to whiney and repeat to myself over and over, “Oh I suck, I’m awful, I should just quit, I can never do anything right, etc, etc.” But I can’t. No. I have to bring that head up from drooping and hold it up high and ask myself, “What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? How can I better myself from this?” And I just work on bettering myself. Every artist fails in the beginning. It’s how they better their craft. I only fail completely if I give up. Which I wont. These are my dreams and they will come true.
I bet you’re wondering what I was denied from. Oh, it’s just a little site listing. Here are the reasons why:
- check html validity
I don’t check HTML validity because I’ve tried that before. I will have a layout 100% error free to W3 standards, then I implement it into WordPress, and I come up with like three errors because of WordPress’s HTML. So, I gave up on that whole thing. If I am doing things wrong in that area, help would be greatly appreciated. Is there something I’m missing or doing wrong? This weekend I will take time to try and get it corrected. Perhaps it is my fault.
- use semantic tag as h1, h2, … for headings.
My bad. >>;
- get better visually appealing
I’ll admit it, this layout is rather..dull. Very simple and very brown. And I perhaps used an over-used trend (floral wallpaper)..
Anyways, my new cordless Hello Kitty mouse is driving me nuts. It was perfect the first couple of days, but now it’s not working right. I have to click things a few times, it’s like the batteries are running out. Batteries that are only three or four days old, running out? I don’t think it’s the batteries. Who knows, it might be. I’ll just tell Billy and have him fix it.
Ok, I’m done complaining, I promise. On a happier note, we’re having another yard sale this weekend. This time I went through all of my stuff and I’m going to have more to sell then just beanie babies. I went through old clothes, jewelry, figurines, and other junk I don’t need anymore, and I have about two big boxes worth of stuff to sell! So hopefully I can make a few bucks this weekend. That would be really nice. Hopefully I make enough to pay for the two tickets to the Sounds of the Underground concert. ($60 total for me and Billy to go.) That would be really nice.
Well, I need to go work on laundry and Jasmine is meowing for some treats.

hey. first of all, what the hell are you talking about? I freaking love the look of your site and I’m notoriously OVER designing stuff!! Secondly, what the hell were you applying for that is that anal? that sounds stupid, but maybe it’s just unsophisticated me=0P
But my initial thought: I totally understand where you are coming from. I’m not into competition but I don’t take rejection well at all and I over analyze so much about things like that and sometimes I wish I could just turn my mind off.
but anyway I don’t know what you’re talking about completely, but so far I adore your site.. so don’t get down on it!!
I was applying for an elite web directory of sorts. I also got denied by another I had applied for. I’m just not going to try and place my site on a pedestal anymore and just use it as how I originally intended: a way to vent my creativity through design. If I don’t meet their criteria, then I just don’t. No need to worry about it, you know?
