Omg *w* I just made Tortilla Wraps for lunch for my family. So. Tasty. 8D Just Tortilla wraps from the supermarket, minced meat, salad, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms, canned tuna, garlic yogurt dip, BBQ dip = HOMG, yummy.

Also, MINCED MEAT. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE MINCED MEAT.

*o* It's almost unreal. What is it about minced meat that makes it so superior to every other meat? *loves*

One of the best thing of those kind of foods (Wraps) is the mess they make XD Sorry, but licking sauce from your fingers while you try to keep the stuff from falling out of your wrap is just fun. Lol. So much fun.

In other news; I actually wrote an entry for the fe_contest. Olololol. I don't really know what's up with that story XD Angsty Ephraim.

Edit:

Completely forgot about this: why is it that dreamwidth and lj suddenly didn't want to keep the format of the fic I've posted earlier? Is it the scene break # in the middle? Because it's centred on not stuck to the left? So, so annoying. I want to keep the format I made in OpenOffice.

Also, dreamwidth, y u fuck with my cut? >8/

Edit, the Second:

Alright, now I know why Dreamwidth fucks up my fic posts. It's firefox. IE doesn't eat my format. >8/ Now I only have to find out how to stop this.

Yeah, unfortunately the best way to keep format when posting to LJ/DW is to code the thing in HTML when you write it. Even pasting it in rich text seems to result in iffyness for me.

I guess a solution might be to save the document as a webpage, and then go into the HTML file with notepad and copypasta that. But I can't remember if Open Office does that or not; never used it for that function.

... *drools* So complicated.

Actually, in 95% of all cases it works perfectly. Just sometimes when center, left aline and kursiv text comes together, everybody like to bitch.

[raphiael]

Kursiv text? You mean like, a font change to make it look like handwriting, something like that? Yeah, that's not gonna go through - even if you code it, it won't show up right for people who don't have that exact font on their computer. It might even shift to ugly little blocks, instead. :/

I've found that my biggest issue is with the spacing - seems every time I post fic on either site from my word processor, it either makes these huge, ridiculous gaps between paragraphs or nukes the spacing completely. I usually fix it manually, but in cases over even just ~1k words, it gets really annoying, fast.

[scarletmorning]

Oh no, I meant text like this. Italics. Lol, my brain decided for some reason that cursive was totally called Kursiv in English.

Yeah, I always have the opposite problem; it steals all of my spaces >8( I'm kinda glad that my writings are generally short.

[raphiael]

Oh! I see. Yeah, italics - I probably wouldn't have known what you meant even if you'd said cursive, since that just means handwriting that looks like this. At least in U.S. English, that's the case. It could have different connotations elsewhere.

Yeah, it's a lot easier with short pieces. When I posted up my first FE contest thing, which was ~2k words, it ate my formatting something like 3 times - and it was a piece with lots of italics and quotes. Not. Fun.

[scarletmorning]

Lol, I think italics is easier to remember, because the html code is an "i". But, well, we Germans only have the word kursiv/Kursivschrift for it XD (Daw, that pic looks like the Schreibschrift I learned in Elementary School 8D

Ugh. No programme ever ate my punctuation, but that would piss me off so much DX

[raphiael]

Oh lol nope, just looked it up and apparently "cursive" can also refer to italic type in some contexts. I am a liar. :D;
