Life has been crazy, and I have let things become so out of date! I am very ashamed.

In the near future, I hope to overhaul Long Ago. I would like to streamline it and turn it into more of a blog. For one, blogs are more interesting. For another, I have gotten into vegetarian, healthy, low-fat, low sugar, wholesome (think whole grains and vegetables, no artificial sweetener or hydrogenated oils), calorie-counting cooking and I cannot for the life of me find a food blog that fits with that! I can find calorie counting blogs. I can find vegetarian and “healthy” blogs, but never all of them together. (If you know of any, I would be very interested!) But, I do a lot of experimenting with making tasty recipes healthier, and I think a food-type photo blog could be interesting to incorporate. I’ve never been overweight, but I’ve lost about 20 pounds since March just by eating healthy and exercising. Not to mention, I have so much more energy! I would probably blog about other small things too, because I tend to get myself in to funny situations. Not to mention, it would be great writing practice!

For example, Adventure #245:

It is a dreary, cold day, and I am walking in my spy-esque trench coat and sunglasses to pick up a form for a school-related thing. When I pick it up, it’s in this nifty manila folder. I had planned on getting a few things from the organic store on my way home, so I walk there feeling very much like a spy—I’m kind of tempted to dart from tree to tree and look over my shoulder inconspicuously. When I enter the store, I put my folder in the bottom of my shopping basket. When I’m checking out, I reach into my basket to get the folder out, and the cashier says: “Yeah, you don’t want to forget your secret files.”
…
It made my day.

In other news, I will be cleaning out and paring down the amount of fanlistings that I own, so please add yourself to the KIM List!

SO, after much travail the fanlisting for Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is up! It’s pretty bare bones right now because I am so busy with school, and I’m on my MacBook which I still can’t use properly, so it takes me ten times longer to do things that I used to be able to do in seconds. Sigh. I’m sure I’ll get better at Macs eventually, but it’s just a tad frustrating right now.

I realize that the codes are nonexistent. I tried; I really did! Unfortunately, I also have a new version of Photoshop to get used to, and I couldn’t figure out how to get the text to look nice. More codes to come later, once I have time to experiment and figure it out!

I updated the credits, layout, and previous layouts pages.

I also whipped up nine new sets of linking buttons! Though, I should have made one more just to make it an even ten… but I was excited about finishing the revamp!

And the deed is DONE! YAYY! Revamp over. *throws confetti*

Well, if you’re reading this (unlikely… ) I really do hope you like the new layout! After having the last layout up for over two years (yikes!…even though I was rather fond of it, that’s still way too long.) ANY change is good change. I’m not particularly happy with this layout, but it’ll stay up for at least a little while I think.

I still need to clear out my joined listings, but I’ll just have to do that gradually because it is going to take forever.
