Hana-hime is a lazy bum
How on earth do you write blogs? Is there even a format on what you should and should not write about? Hmm, wtv, me doing freestyle.
Okay! Am super upset now cuz my blogskin is still a mess. I have the perfect layout for it but because some lazy bum (refers to person in title) is not coding it for me, I have to tolerate this messed up blogskin/layout for now. I was told she would create this for me as soon as I gave her a Tegoshi wallpaper, which I did. Heck, I even put up a silly and pointless post about books from wikipedia cuz she said she needed a long post to estimate the length of the layout and whatsoever. And what did I get in return? A messed up blogskin! And probably people - unfortunate people - who stumble upon my blog would think I'm a total weirdo! (who, btw, won't ever come back here again...unless they are book freaks) I guess I should have been more specific when I said a blogskin - a perfect, and complete blogskin the way I pictured it.
Now all I can do is wait for her to finish her college papers...which she will never complete because there will be loads and loads of it everyday. T_T
Oh, but I learned something new from the whole book article thingy! I know what EVERY SINGLE part of a book is, can?! I know this sounds so dorky...but do YOU know? I bet not.
Haha, let me teach you~ since I'm sure you don't wanna go through that whole boring book article just to find it.
So here you go:
Scheme of common book design:
1. Belly band
2. Flap
3. Endpaper
4. Book cover
5. Top edge
6. Fore edge
7. Tail edge
8. Right page, recto
9. Left page, verso
10. Gutter
What's the point of all these? To make you look smarter than you really are of course!
Imagine a scene:
*You are reading a book. Suddenly, someone calls you over. Carefully, you place your book away from the coffee mug right beside it. When you get back, you realize your clumsy sister spilled coffee on your book. And it was a library book! Outraged, you scream:
"Why you silly girl! What have you done?!"
Your sister, "Am NOT silly! You're silly for leaving the coffee there!"
"I'm NOT stupid. YOU are!"
Your sis, "Oh yeah? Prove it!"
"Cuz you're the one who spilled coffee in the gutter!"
Your sis, "...? Gutter? ...as in, rain gutter?"
"Yeah, sure, a rain gutter....NO, U DING-DONG! The book's gutter!"
Your sis, "......"
*And that is how you prove yourself smarter and win an argument with your vast knowledge and wisdom on the elements of a book design.
Warning: May backfire and be labeled a "nerd" after argument.
But hey, nerds aren't so bad. In fact, they earn money! Look at Bill Gates! $$$$
I'ma be a nerd and be like Bill Gates! Who cares if the whole world complains about me and supports Apple? I'm still richer than them! And while they sit at home, complaining and probably emailing or blogging (with a Windows Computer*ironic*) about how much they think Windows is inefficient...I'll be sitting on my first-class jet plane traveling the world! And as they use their fingers to bang their keyboards in agony while writing a hate mail/post, I'll be using my delicate fingers to hold expensive tea cups and sip high-class European tea! Yay!
Hana, I love you~ so you MUST create blogskin for me k? K? K?
Thank you~!!!
