Sometimes the Easy way is Harder


So I really didn't feel like writing today, or recently for that matter. Maybe because I've spent too much time writing cover letter after cover letter. Or maybe it's because after finally realizing that I'm done with school and I don't have to write anymore, I've just succumbed to laziness. As some of you may of noticed I didn't even bother to post for a week. I threw something up last week and called it a good day. This week I've been too excited to see my boyfriend after six months that I haven't been able to focus on any one thing for more then five minutes at a time. Even while watching TV I pop up every five minutes because my mind is in squirrel mode. So I didn't even bother thinking up something to write. Instead I drew pictures. I discovered drawing was the only way I could watch TV without running around my house. My lazy mind couldn't multitask and act like a squirrel all at once so I managed to sit down at my desk and quietly watch TV. It reminded me a lot of being a kid when your parents or babysitter hands you a box of crayons and paper so they can have a moment of peace. After a while I figured that if I posted my drawings onto my blog THAT could count as my Tuesday blog post. I kinda felt like I had cheated the system and won. I loaded up my cellphone pictures of the drawings and rotated and cropped them. I then attempted to upload onto my blog. It came out like this.
In fact they call came out like that. Upside down, or sideways. I sat there confused for a minute. I had been so sure to rotate them to the correct position on my laptop. Why weren't they uploading into my blog right? The blog wouldn't even let me rotate them once I put them up. I tried redoing it several times and kept getting the same result. At this point I'm thinking to myself "writing a blog post probably would have been easier". The truth is technology and I don't get along. I always end up killing it. When I was in middle school I somehow managed to reprogram the family computer to only "speak" Spanish. We had to have a computer person come out at reboot the whole system. So I don't know why I thought I could do this, but at this point I really couldn't give up. I decided to try rotating them wrong on my computer and attempting to re load them on the blog... I got this

Well, at least she isn't upside down anymore. Again, I stupidly sat there angrily until my common sense kicked in. "Yo, dummy, try turning her all the way upside down on the computer so she's right side up on the blog". Oh yeah.
HEY! I did it! Sure it only took me an hour to figure out how to do it. And I'm sure all the five year old's out there are doing this.


So that's my sad story of my failed attempt to be tech savvy. I guess I should just stick to the basics before I break the internet. Although now that I have figured it out I should at least be allowed to post the rest of my doodles I drew,
