Cover Me Darin'

Facebook cover pictures. Let us take a second to discuss them. I absolutely despise using personal pictures for them, they're never the right size, they turn out blurry, something or someone always ends up cropped out in a strange way or cut out completely. I like things to be pretty and line up right, especially when it's the only thing other than my profile that people who aren't on my minuscule friends list can see. I keep that shit locked down like Fort Knox and I like to keep that baby under 100 if I can help it. Let's be honest I don't have that many friends and most of the people on it are just there so I can shamelessly creep on their lives. If I've sent you a friend request, deleted you, and then sent you another one it's because I'm curious about what you've been up to since you last annoyed me into deleting you. Anyways, back on topic. My cover photo is the only thing that people can see to get a sense of who I am before I more than likely reject their friend request so I like to make it count. A few years ago I decided I wouldn't be using my personal pictures anymore and decided to go on a hunt of the interwebs for the perfect cover picture, because I'm lame and this is important business. I quickly realized people suck at making them. I couldn't find any that had everything I wanted on them. I didn't like the quote, or the font, or the picture that was used. They were pixilated, blurry, or distorted. Everywhere I looked it was like the crappy MySpace backgrounds all over again. I learned enough HTML to create my own backgrounds during the MySpace days because I couldn't stand the way to premades looked, so obviously I did what any semi creative internet addict would do and I created my own cover picture.

This was the very first cover picture I ever created by myself. I chose a cute little fish and copy and pasted until they were all pretty and even. I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing, but I had liked how it turned out and I used one of my favorite quotes. It had everything I wanted, the quote, the font, the background, and they all fit correctly. I've gotten a bit more creative and a whole lot better since then so I decided to share them with you today. Links to the correct size (851x315) are under each picture seeing as I had to shrink them to not screw with the pretty of my blog and are created specifically to not have any of the words interfere with your profile picture, name, or the add/message buttons. Minus the Doctor Who quote with the TARDIS, because I finally got frustrated and figured people would get the picture, I worked on that one forever. But here are my much better works, because sometimes I like to show off a bit.

Feel free to leave feedback if you'd like. 
I always like to hear compliments. 
If they suck I'd like to know that too so go ahead and tell me.
 I promise not to cry.
Too much.

Woopsies.

I somehow managed to accidentally delete my last post, so here is the run down of what I've been up to the past two months.

My computer charger was ripped from the computer and killed, yesterdays Husband's friend gave me one of his old ones and yaaaay, it works.

The brakes, rotors, and a caliper in my car all broke at the exact same time. I woke up to my husband saying "Hey bad news, the brakes are out." Fast forward three weeks to it finally being fixed, three days later I wake up to a phone call from my husband, "Hey.... sooooo... I went to stop at the red light and the tire didn't... it's in a ditch across the street." It's been fixed as well now. This month has been full of issues.

I've participated in a bunch of Netflix marathons, freaked out about the finale of The Walking Dead, and I've slept a lot. Winter has been a stage five clinger, letting the snow mostly melt then covering everything once again. That's okay though, because I only have twenty four days until I'm back in California for a glorious six weeks. While I'm out there the bestbian is going to come visit which I'm stoked about. We're going to the drag club Lips and it's going to be hilariously amazing.

Chances are this is going to be the last post until I'm in California and actually have things going on again. My life is absolutely boring right now, and not worth posting about until I'm really able to start the surgery process, so I'll see you guys in a month.

I Just Wanted You All to Meet This Dude.

Mandatory mini life update:
I have an appointment with the nutritionist to start and get that part of the process for my surgery out of the way. I'm sure I'll post more about that at some point but now is not that point. True to Becca fashion I haven't been walking like I'm supposed to because I am full of fail. Also because husband brought home a cold from California and I feel like crap, but mostly the fail part. Husband is finally back from NTC, we're back in counseling and our last session actually went pretty well. Tempest knows how to roll over now and is a bit of a turd, and I now have 69 days until California! I also got my nails did again, it's been a while. Tell me they're cute.



The design not my fingers. I'm going back this weekend to get them filled and the design changed to this.



 Now the reason for my post. We brought Captian Jack Harkness home early today. The breeder had planned a vacation before his mommy got pregnant, and gave us the option of a babysitter watching him at her house or us taking him home early. He's weened, on an all food diet, and puppy pad trained, so we decided to go ahead and take him. LOOK AT HIM.


And here's a video of him and Tempest playing.



That is all.
