Wow. Sorry I haven't been updating as much. I've just been super busy and have had no time to update. Anyways, what happened this weekend was nothing super amazing. I just moved to my Aunt's so I could finish the school year here. I'd really like to stay here but my parents won't allow it. :[
But yup, since I've moved, I no longer have my computer which means: no new layout or content. I do plan to ask my Aunt if I can download GIMP or Paint.NET onto the computer so I can continue making layouts and graphics, but who knows? If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it doesn't.
As to my hosting issue: I'm still getting hosted, it's just taking longer than expected. Ben has run into problems, but I don't mind. I still get to be hosted and that alone is enough to make me happy even if it may take awhile. :]
That's really all I have to say for now, other than I despise DIAL-UP! >:|
Much love,
Shannon
Not much happened today really. I went to school unlike yesterday because of my stuffed up nose. It was okay, but at the same time sucked since i had to blow my nose every 10 minutes, I swear. Then my big mouth got me in trouble in Algebra 2. The problem looked easy, so I said so, and guess who had to work the problem? ME, haha. I knew how to do it, but I guess she didn't like my way, and yeh, I screwed up, but oh well. :]
Anyways onto something more interesting to spice up this blog. One of my friends, Brittany is pregnant, and her baby is due in 9 days! I'm happy for her, and that the father is still with her, but I hope the baby will be healthy and there will be no complications. Plus she's 16, so I hope it goes well. Let's pray everything goes alright with Brittany's pregnancy and her baby Gavin. (I'm not sure how she intends on spelling it, that's just my guess.) :] But since pregnancy was the theme of this (A weird theme, I know) I decided to do research on Teenage Pregnancy and here's what I found out:
Teenage pregnancy is defined as a teenage or underaged girl, usually within the ages of 13 and 19, becoming pregnant.
- - -
More than 750,000 teenagers become pregnant each year, and about 420,000 give birth.
About 3 in 10 teenage girls become pregnant at least once before age 20
Teen mothers are more likely than mothers over age 20 to give birth prematurely (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy)
What are the health risks to babies of teen mothers?
A baby born to a teenage mother is at higher risk for certain serious problems and death than a baby born to an older mother. Babies of teenage mothers are more likely to die in the first year of life than babies of women in their twenties and thirties. The risk is highest for babies of the mothers under age 15. In 2004, 17.1 out of every 1,000 babies of women under age 15 died, compared to 6.8 per 1,000 for babies of women of all ages.
What are other consequences of teenage pregnancy?
Life may be difficult for a teenage mother and her child. Teen mothers are more likely to drop out of high school than girls who delay childbearing. Only 40 percent of teenagers who have children before age 18 go on to graduate from high school, compared to 75 percent of teens from similar social and economic backgrounds who do not give birth until ages 20 or 21.
I found the information and stats interesting, and hopefully you did too. But now, I'm just curious on what you think of Teenage Pregnancy.
1) Do you think Teenage Pregnancy is okay?
2) If you got pregnant/got someone pregnant, what would you do?
PS: If I upset someone with this blog, I'm terribly sorry. I just meant to inform you and give you statistics, not upset you. If I did, I'm terribly sorry. <3
[Edit] I got tagged by Khaye! So now I have to write 10 interesting facts about myself.
// I'm on the computer browsing almost everyday after school. Just browsing...
// I refuse to sleep on my back. (For some reason, I think I'll die)
// When I was ages 7-10, I lied constantly, and now I despise liars.
// I do stupid things like bark at dogs when they bark at me.
// I have hypoglycemia which basicly means I have low blood sugar levels.
// I blacked out playing put-put before I knew I had this too. Freaked me out. :[
// When I was little I loved Dragon Ball Z, but never told any of my girl friends.
// I call Alyssa 'Squid' simply because I can. :]
// I read manga alot. Almost daily. I feel nerdy because of it, but oh well. 8)
// I have NEVER had a piczo site, and to be honest, didn't know it existed until a few months ago. :]
I tag: Katie, Cherish, Ben. Only 3 since everyone else seems to of been tagged already. D:
Love, Shannon
Okay, so get this, I'm going to be hosted! I'm soooo excited, I can't wait! I love Ben @ braindeadd.info! [Edit] I accidently put Bean instead of Ben as a typo, I found this kinda funny so I had to edit to put that. Lol. ^~^ [/Edit] He's hosting me and I don't know if I'll ever be able to thank him enough. :]! I was really happy to get an e-mail back from him saying he had accepted me, and it turned my gloomy stuffy nose day into a GREAT day!
Ben, thank you sooo much from the bottom of my heart again. <3
But anyways, other than this, I'm still working on some content and I will have contests after I put the content up and all that stuff. However, the content may just continue to be made and not actually be put up on this site. I might just wait for the sub-domain I'm getting so I won't have to move as much stuff if that makes sense. (?) Anyways, I just wanted to update and say that, I might put something up later, but until then, this is all. :]
Love,
Shannon
So yesterday was Prom! I had alot of fun too! We had dinner at a place called The Brass Door, and it didn't look like much on the outside, but the inside was amazing and they had really good food. (Except it was kinda expensive).
Anyways, We took alot of pictures and I mean ALOT!, so once they get developed, uploaded, bougth, etc., I shall put them up. I had an amazing night, and the pictures probably show it. :] But that's all I have to put for now. I might update later, but might not. Who knows? ^~^
[Edit] I'm currently working on some content like blends, simple layouts, CSS/HTML tutorials, and Paint.NET tutorials and such...Hopefully I'll have them up later this week. My site shall no longer just be a blog! Woooo! *cheers*
-Shannon
Heyy everyone, Nothing new today really except that i put up the new layout I've been working on all week. I hope you like it. I feel like I exerted all my energy into this thing... O.O
Ah well, I like it, and I'm happy it turned out this way. I felt like keeping some things from the old layout though, especially the affiliates link (I hadn't done this in ages and forgot how to do it) and I love how it looks.
Anyways: Prom is tomorrow, so I'll update later that night about what happened and how much fun it was. I can't wait! This entry was basicly just to say I updated, but feel free to comment! I really like reading what people have to say. :]
-Shannon
Woooo! I couldn't of asked for a better day. Today just went the right way. :]
I feel like I've been lacking in the blogging area. -sigh- But it's not my fault. I've been working on my own layout since I grabbed this one as a temp. from Creatblog. I've been coding my little heart out (when I can) since I've been super busy! I'm thinking about putting stuf up for visitors instead of just having a blog, but the problem with that is I'm moving soon, and I won't have a computer with graphic programs for a long time. (At least until the beginning of August or mid-July) so I won't be able to do diddly-squat. >.<
On a VEEEEERRRRRYYYY good note though, I got my LICENSE YESTERDAY! I'm sooo happy! I've waited 4 long months for my mom to take me(She's a procrastinator) and she finally did!
Anyways, I don't know what else to put. :]
Peace! <3 XD
-Shannon
So I've been really busy today. I woke up to a phone call from my boyfriend with him asking me to come over, and naturally, I said yes. 
I got there and we played Guitar Hero on Xbox 360 for awhile, and I sucked...horribly. 
On another happy note though, I finally made my own layout image! Woooo! -feels accomplished- I've never really done a header...aand since I have no photoshop, or anything, just Paint.NET, it takes some time by cutting all the excess away on imagepacks. 
Anyways, I just finished it a bit ago and this was my finised product! I'm sooooooo happy with how my first one turned out. It's good don't you think? ^~^
Anyways, I'm still looking forward to prom which is this Saturday! 
I'm uber excited, but my luck, this week will go by like a snail.
I'm off for now though!
Love, Shannon
Then I get home to get lectured, but I get over that...plus I'm used to it.
On a Positive note though: I CAN'T WAIT FOR PROM! I feel like it's going to be an amazing night and I can't wait.
Anyways, I'm happy today, so that's what counts right? :]
Short entry today, but oh well, I might add later tonight before I get off. :3
Ups: School was okay, except I was a grumpy guss for some classes. My friends help though, so that works. Plus, I like school. But besides that, I'm excited for a play my friends and I have to put on of a "Midsummer Nights Dream" by William Shakespeare (I know I spelt that wrong...someone anyways) I can't wait for it! I'm uber excited about our theme "Bad Japanese Movie" It'll be fun.
And to make my day even better, The Vampire Knight anime came out in Japan today! I watched it on Veoh (in Japanese since I know what's happening & there's no subs yet) and I LOVED IT!
Downs:
Okay, not really anymore. :[
I hope it all works out though. I love him too much for it to go down the drain, so I really want it to be fixed soon.
Special: I just found out that an old friend of mine, Amber Kauffman, died yesterday at 5:30 with a heart problem. I didn't talk to her much when I was little, but I knew her, and would just like to put this in her memory. RIP Amber You'll be remembered.
I became bored, a I decided to make a blog. Nothing special, aye? Anyways, I shall update when I can since I haven't been able to get on the computer much lately. (Only on weekends usually)
But before I made this: I was moving stepping stones in our backyard and stacking them...It practically sucked since it was muddy and such(Besides the fact that some stones are HEAVY!). I watched re-runs of America's Next Top Model on MTV, and Nicole won. That made me happy since I liked her the most. ^^
Anyways, other than that my day was dull.
Feel free to comment or something. I need all the entertainment I can get today.
PS: I really really despise him right now. I really don't like being ignored for 3 days straight basicly. 1 day=Bonfire 2 day=Birthday while getting drunk 3 day=Talks for 10 minutes, goes to bed and sounds completely MEAN.
I wouldn't mind so much if I wasn't moving over the summer...but I am. I just wish he would actl ike he cared...like he used to. Basicly, BEFORE what we did. Now it just seems he just wants that from me...GOSH DANGIT I DUNNO WHAT TO DO ANYMORE!
