Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I haven't showed any signs of life lately. I've been quite busy with school and also I've been waiting for some of the bugs caused by the new layout to be sorted out (I had problems accessing the site in the first place on my laptop). It looks a bit better now so I'm going to try to be on as much as possible. And as it looks like this blogposting has been made a bit easier again, I was planning on starting the picture of the day thingy but I'm not able to add pictures; I am able to get the picture to appear on the screen when I create the entry as well as in the preview but when I try to submit the entry it says: Errors: Tag img may not have attribute title. Does anyone know how this can be solved? I thought also about sticking in a quote of the day whenever I can find an interesting one.

As I said, I've been quite busy with the school but I don't find it that horrible because I usually quite enjoy working and all my subjects are very interesting. I especially enjoy Literature in which we are currently studying Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Selected poems by Sylvia Plath and The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington.

Oh yeah, I watched Ring Two the other day with my friend. I was surprised to find that it was as good as the first one (I tend to find sequels worse than the originals), in fact I could not decide which one I liked more. The scene with the deers was really fake though, we were laughing so much at that. My friend was also commenting on how car windows are not supposed to break in the way they did (he's a guy and obsessed with cars and bikes). For some reason I prefer watching horror movies with guys rather than girls because most girls overreact and start screaming and hiding behind your back which I find a bit annoying. My problem is that when watching films with friends, I often keep talking throughout the film commenting on stuff and some people find that annoying.

The next film I'm planning on seeing is The Exorcist. My mum gave me permission to watch it with a friend even though it's rated 18 as I convinced her that it is an 80s horror movie and that it can't be that scary compared to all the special effect stuff which teenagers are used to today (my mum tends to be quite strict with age limits). I watched a few clips of the film in YouTube and I did find it quite scary at the moment of watching. However, it did not have any longer time effect and I watched it all the time as a film (i.e. my imagination did not start running wild and thinking that a crazy girl will attack me from behind the next corner). The storyline and the film itself seem to be very good and I can see even after only seen a few clips, why it is considered to be the horrorfilm.

And the quote of the day would be...hmm...yeah, this is from The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington and the character is a 92-year-old woman called Marian: "My memory is full of all sorts of stuff which is not, perhaps, in chronological order, but there is still a lot of it."

Yay, so nice to have you back! I found that the first Ring was much better than the second. The Exorcist is great, you'll definitely like it. That quote sounds so nice, as does the character who says it. Now, onto your picture problem...

When you find the image you want, right click on it, and select "image properties".

Next, get the "image URL" an copy/paste it into the URL box when the insert image window is up. Then type something (it can be anything at all, such as cat, ball, whey, what ever you'd like) into the image description bar.

Voila! That's it. If you still have troubles, or need clarification with something, feel free to PM me!

Hey there! I think you're not supposed to submit any text when you post a picture like.. don't include a title or anything. Cool, how are you liking Hamlet? I'm supposed to learn that this year. You seem to like horror movies a lot. Have a good weekend!

secrets710: Yeah, it is good. If you enjoyed the first one you should definitely see the second one as well.

historyseeker22: Thanks for the advice, I'll try that for the next blog

xlovedust: I'm enjoying Hamlet a lot. I think it's one of the best plays by Shakespeare (although incredibly long as well). It has quite a good plot and good characters in my opinion. And yeah, I fell in love with horror movies after watching the first 'Ring'

free_the_WM3: I've never heard of Wrong turn. I'm going to look that up in a minute. Have a good weekend!
