technical difficulties

ok, so i'm blogger retarded. i am trying to give myself and my blog a new and improved look, but i justk keep screwing it up. i have lost my links more than once, changed my layout numerous times and am just getting more and more frustrated. so, i have put a message into that brilliant sister of mine, marisa, to help out the technically challenged me. i know this isn't hard, but for some reason i am finding a way to make it ridiculously difficult. please be patient while i figure (or marisa figures) out what i have done!
