Happy Birthday to Lauren who is one of the regular forum members here!! Party hard, girl! :)

I was tagged by Ina and therefore am choosing to continue the tagging game! I am now supposed to list 5 random facts about me. I'm not really sure what to write, but here it goes:

• 01. I have a fear of heights and of falling. Eep!
• 02. I'm a walking oxymoron who constantly and unintentionally spouts spoonerisms and malapropisms.
• 03. I absolutely LOVE birthdays!
• 04. My favorite color is purple (specifically the deeper purple).
• 05. I cannot stand bullshit. It's that simple! ;)

Now it is my turn to tag some people and I choose: Angie (so-lonely.org), Dodo (pure-essence.net), and Isai (Penny Lane)!

A couple of new hostees are now open for public viewing: Cozza and Kathy!

I'm still slowly working on some updates for the site, and they will come in good time. Whoever posted the first question in the "Ask It!" section...THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) I really appreciate it.

I'm excited that the site is starting to fill out a bit more. As always, thank you for visiting and make sure to stop by often!

Updates: The hostees, links, ask it, and interesting crap sections have all been updated! Make sure to check them out!

Sorry for the lack of updates the past week or more; I have been updating, I just didn't feel like posting them until now. Take notice of the new section called "Reviews" - it's kind of barren at the moment, but I am sure it will expand with time. Also, please visit one of my hostee's now officially opened site; you can check out Meaghan's site by visiting here! I have two other new hostees in addition to the previous ones: Angel and Kathy! I will let you know when their sites are open for viewing. Welcome to the itsadoozy family, you two! XD Currently, I am working on the "Quizzes" section - so look out for that in the coming weeks.

My fall semester begins on the 18th - I am excited, but it also means I may have slightly less time to dedicate to this site. I'm sure I'll make plenty of time in order to properly maintain it, or so I hope. *crosses fingers*

Thank you for visiting and make sure to spread the word.
Updates: The off-site interactivity, interesting crap, top 5 sites, links, reviews, calendar, and hostees sections have all been updated! Make sure to check them out!

I have been busy working on the site, once again! Even though I should be focusing all my efforts on content, it has been divided between content and design. I've updated several sections (particularly my favorite films under the my favorites section) and have added another layout to choose from. This new layout is also now the current default layout (if it's not, try cleaning your cookies and then try visiting again...or you can just select it by using the layout selector).

Also...HUGE news...exciting news! I now have two new hostees: Meaghan and Cozza! A big welcome to them both! I am happy that I am attracting hostees so quickly. Both of their sites are still being created, so stay tuned for their links in the near future. :)

Thanks for visiting!

Updates: The interesting crap, picture captions, my favorite films, and layout selector sections have been updated! Check them out!

I just found out yesterday that some of my layouts look even crappier than normal on IE. I don't use IE, so I never thought to examine them on this pointless browser. My layouts look fine on Mozilla Firefox and Safari (at least the last I looked, anyway). So, if you're using IE and are viewing the gnome theme...I'm sorry it's so terribly ugly. haha.

I am slowly working on various sections of the site, current and soon to come. Don't expect any MAJOR updates for awhile, but hey... you never know. If you want to be alerted via email when I have made important changes or updates to the site, please submit your information under the mailing list section.

Thank you to all of my past, present, and future visitors. See you around...

Updates: I have updated the fortunes and interesting crap sections. I have also created a mailing list section and added a hit counter. Oh yeah, and I'm working on joining some fanlistings and so forth.

Welcome to the newly reopened itsadoozy! Many more updates and much more content to come...over time. I've decided to go ahead and reopen itsadoozy without everything being complete.

If you came here looking for deep thoughts or epiphanies on the meaning of life, then you most certainly came to the wrong place.

Once upon a time (meaning several years ago when itsadoozy was at its peak and before the great upheaval leading to the inevitable decline and disappearance of the site altogether), there was a blogger (known by xtina or something like that) who claimed itsadoozy changed too much (too many layouts in a short amount of time), had no content of value (ie. political opinions and convictions, philosophical discussions, and etc), and that I was just a "another teenybopper website designer" (not necessarily a direct quote, but it is roughly paraphrased). Being the ever sensitive virgo I was (and still am to some degree), this greatly affected my psyche. WTF. Yeah right! haha. Seriously, it did bother me on some level...but honestly, the worst it has ever done is encourage me to make even MORE crappy layouts and have even less content than before.

xtina, if you're still around...I don't even know who you are...but I have a few things to say to you. First off, this is MY website...which means, I will post whatever damn crappy ideas and create whatever stupid layouts I want. You can just take your condescending egomaniac self and blogger (bugger) off. Yes, I feel better now.

Anyway, I have done this (created crappy layouts and even worse content). As you can see for yourself, I have created a layout selecter subpage which allows you to change the itsadoozy layout at any given time. Right now, there are only a few layouts to choose from...but over time, I will design more. Hopefully, my graphic design skill will come back or at least improve from its current wretched state. I'd like to think my content isn't completely whimsical, but if it is... then so be it. That's the way I like it.

You get as much out of this site as you choose to take from it. So, it's up to you. If you love it, fine. If you hate it, fine. If you don't give a shit, fine. Honestly, I've made this site for me. It may be crap, but I like it. It may never become something great, but hey, I still like it.

On a different note, a shout out to my friends at the Absolutely Dhani Harrison Forum. I know how excited we all are about the August 1st release of thenewno2's new album You Are Here. I love all you guys! Also, a big thanks goes to Rajbun for maintaining the forum and the main Absolutely Dhani Harrison website, I personally know how difficult it is to maintain a website (says the webmaster of a site that was down for 3+ years)...so kudos to you, your skills, and your website maintenance ethic! Yeah. I've enjoyed a many great days on the fantastic ADH site and forum!

Despite all my ranting, I hope you will enjoy the site. More to come...see you on the other side.
