Since I haven't done one of these in a while

Happy Spring, everyone! Of course, if you were in Chicago with me, you would swear it was still winter. Hell, anywhere in the U.S. it looks like Mother Nature didn't get the Spring Memo.

So, in honor of the still-below-freezing temperature, I changed my layout to be more spring-y. (Green is as spring-y as I get.) Layout credit goes to sophistae at minimally. She (I'm assuming she's a she) has some great, minimal layouts that--once you understand the stylesheet coding/language--are easy enough to customize, like I've done with this one. (The original code is "Op. 110".)

I've also updated my journal title if anyone even reads/knows where to find my journal title to "Red-Haired, Writer, Anachronist". I think the "red-haired" part is...clunky, to put it nicely. (How come red-heads don't get a cool adjective like "blonde" or "brunette" or "raven"? And don't anybody say the G-word. I HATE that descriptor. My hair is not that orange-y.) I needed three things to describe me, and red hair is really the only cool thing I have, and (probably) the first characteristic real life people notice. I feel like I should talk about the "anachronist" part sometime, as I'm sure the "writer" description is self-explanatory. But I'll save that for later (because I'm so good at updating this blog on a regular basis).

Also, down there, you'll notice a shiny new mood theme (credit goes to ponchogoblins) which will stick around until I finish up a little project of mine (whenever that'll be) (she says teasingly). (I've been watching a lot of Archer, if anyone's wondering about that last parenthesis.)

Aaaaand this post has way too many parenthetical sentences, so I should just end it right here. *post*

What about "russet?"

And dude, it's snowing here. Down in VA. Gah! Sticking and everything. That just ain't right.

I've never heard "russet" used to described a red-head before. Hmm. I may just fudge a bit and change it to "auburn" because while I'm more of a "strawberry blonde", during the fall/winter my hair darkens.

(I also noticed that when looked at quickly "anachronist" looks like "anarchist" which...no. I like order and rules.)

it's snowing here. Down in VA.

I heard about the winter storm down south, but I didn't know it stretched all the way up to VA. Stay safe--and inside, as I know you folks aren't used to driving in snowy conditions! :P
