I've revamped my blog! *cheers* All thanks Blogskins.com. What I love is the dominantly white background, quiet and pristine, and the little coloured stars with swirls in them. It's cheery enough without getting in your face, which thus runs a lower risk of aggravating me when I'm in a especially foul mood. Honestly, it's hard to think of anything angsty or depressing to say with such a happy-looking blog staring back at you.

Of course, if this skin had been especially gaudy looking and determined to please, it would just have rubbed me entirely the wrong way. I would even have blogged more frequently with some sort of angry vengeance to contrast what I say with what it looks like. Appearance vs. Reality? I've been getting that a lot recently, and not just as a recurring Literature theme. But this background makes me feel good. It really suits me right now--I feel happy again for no reason at all, with lots of energy inside me (swirling stars! ^^) but at the same time I am equally determined to keep away from people. (White: the quiet side.) I can't quite explain why. I just know that leaving this white solitude would ruin everything.

I wish you could be happy too.
