Maybe I'm Crazy?

My family and I have moved a lot, we've lived in California half of our lives, then to Nebraska, Vegas and Utah. And for some reason, everywhere I move, I seem to always have weird things happen. It might be ghosts or I might just be crazy. Everytime we've moved, my parents get's the biggest room or master bedroom and since I am the oldest, I'd get to choose my room, which is usually the second biggest room.
It makes sense that a bigger room would be colder right? Compared to smaller bedrooms. Well, when I pick my bedrooms, they're usually normal room temperature but once I start to get used to the place and settle in, it's always the coldest room in the house...my paren'ts bigger room was even warmer than mines. I always tried to laugh it off by saying that it's because of my room layout, because it was laid out to where it seemed "spacious" rather than having objects closer together.
Well, I can't laugh it off when weird things start happening. It's only really happened to me, well, I'm the only one that really acknowledged it. My parents are superstitous but their views on ghosts in houses are, "I don't care if there's a ghost in the house. A house is a house. I don't care if it has ghosts or not, I'll live with them. You better be glad we have a place to live." ...yeah, they're pretty hardcore Asians. Truth be told though, I am glad I have a home, that we aren't homeless but dammit...why did the ghosts have to be there? Somewhere inside of me, I feel like as if something is following me but the occurances that happened at each house were completely different. I don't think my sisters have experienced anything or they may have, brushed it off or ignored it. Either way, I didn't want to ask them and get them scared.
I will have to write seperate posts for each of the houses I have experienced weird things with and link them back here.

I'm living on my own now and even though I'm not scared to walk around at night (with the lights on lol), I'm starting to hear noises again. It also doesn't help that I can hear my neighbors walk up and down the stairs or hear them walking in their bathroom (our floors are WAY creeky, creekier than haunted houses I've seen in movies)...or at least I hope it's my neighbors haha I can tell when someone is walking in my townhouse or in my neighbor's, it's my super hearing that helps so I haven't had "anyone" walk around in my hall or up and down my stairs....yet...and hopefully never will. I will admit though, when I hear my neighbors, sometimes it scares the crap out of me. But I have dogs now, so all is good, I have company when my boyfriend goes to work at night.

It's been about about 4 months since I've moved into my townhouse, it's a real nice townhouse if you take out how the previous tenants were gross. (Because of the snow, there was a lot of trash hidden in our backyard, lots of cigarette butts EVERYWHERE, it was literally covering every inch of land. There was also trash everywhere and actual trash bags full of trash...were these neighbors lazy or what? And in addition to that, there were a few problems, broken things and such BUT the kicker is that I had 3 people come over to ask for a previous tenant. Not friends. Oh boy, no, not friends. I think one guy was a "server", the other one...I'm not sure since I didn't see him and the last one was an officer. What did these people do? I'm not sure but I keep getting their old mail and some of the letters are from the District Attorney.

Anyways, I'm starting to hear noises, like someone is at the front door...as if they're standing there thinking or doing something and accidentally hit the door or the rail and then never end up knocking or ringing the doorbell. It's the only place that these mysterious noises are coming from. At first, I thought it was my super hearing, just hearing my neighbors but then I can tell which ones are right infront of my door or farther than that. Either way, it's not ok, if it's a real person, then I don't get why they're there and if not, then dammit, why do I keep moving somewhere that has problems.

I'm starting to think that I'm either crazy or a magnet to haunted places.

How to Change Icon Text Colors in Windows 7

Today, I noticed that my icon text color sucks with my new desktop background (which is super awesome because it's a bg of most of the super women heroines), so I went into the "Personalize" window and of course, it's not so easy to find where to change the icon text color. After a couple of Google searches, I finally figured out how to do it. People have suggested downloading softwares or doing other long or complicated processes, but I'm a sinple person and like to do EVERYTHING the easy way if possible and I always try avoiding downloading softwares for something so small.
The horrible, cold, hard, annoying truth about why the hell it's so hard to solve this super small issue:
Windows 7 is designed to change the icon text color to best fit the image or color background AUTOMATICALLY, it's designed to be smart enough to perform this process for us but with multi-colored images, it's a bit on the confused, dumb side. And because of this futuristic, hidden process, it's a bit more work to change the icon text color.
After reading some posts on this issue and some solutions, I just went to go do my own troubleshooting with bits and pieces from other people's fixes.

Here's my SUPER DUPER EASY WAY of how to change your icon text color:

1. Right-click on your desktop background and choose the "Personalize" option.

2. Go to "Desktop Background".

3. In that window, choose "Change Background Color" in the lower-left hand corner.

4. Depending on what color you want your text (either white or black), choose the opposite. So if you want white text, choose black. If you want black, choose white. The only options for the icon text color is white or black, sorry no cool colors for us, the fancier we want our interface to look, the less options we have of changing (ironic but I guess this is how the future will be). After choosing a color, you will see a preview of the font color of the icon name change.

5. Click "Save Changes". Choosing a background color will NOT change your desktop IMAGE, only the color behind the image.

It really wasn't so painful to do this but was much more painful to do the research, not as bad as other things I had to figure out but enough that when compared to the actual process, it's just kind of ridiculous, especially when I got a lot of "download this software" answers (my arch nemesis of answers).

**Note: This only works if your drop shadow is removed from the icon text titles. To remove the shadows from text, go to Control Panel and type in "performance" in the search box. Then click "Use tools to improve performance". In that window, select "Adjust visual effects" on the left-hand side. Once that window pops up, you should see a box where you can scroll down, scroll all the way down and deselect "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop", then click OK.**

I'm not going to lie...

I completely forgot that I had a blog! I've just been to crazy busy with work, school, moving...being super lazy and worn out ahahaha Well even though this move has been keeping me super busy and is very money-consuming, I'm really happy and ecstatic that I did! I moved to a bigger place, away from my one bedroom apartment in a huge complex full of kids, cigarette smokers, a neighbor next to me who always asks to borrow money and my crackhead neighbors downstairs! I moved to a two bedroom, beautiful townhouse and it is super quiet! No dumbasses bumping their music in cars in the middle of the night or morning! I did have a parking war though, ugh, I wanted to slash some tires, if they want to park in my spot, then they can park there til they can buy new tires dammit! It's been taken of though but took like 2 weeks to settle. I'm ecstatic to move because I now have an office/study! I have room for ALL of my mangas...I have 481 mangas and boy....I was only able to stick half of them up in my one bookshelf that I could only have because of my small one bedroom. I didn't buy another bookshelf to put all of my books though...I transformed my closet in the office, into a HUGE one! ...well my boyfriend did....but it's beautiful and it still has two and half shelves (if I include the floor) to put more books on! After I fill that up though...I'll need to find another solution....eek....I should control my addiction for manga buying lol. After I calculated how many books I will have altogether if I complete all of the series, it'll total up to around 800 (I made an Excel spreadsheet to keep up with what books I have, how many, how many in the series I have and will have if I complete it and the percentages of completion, I'm kind of an Excel geek, but only to this extent, I can't do coding crap). I will have to do another post of my bookshelf and post links on how to do it, it costs me about...$100 though, but that's because I had to buy some hardware like a stud finder, small leveler, big leveler. It would've been around $70 if I didn't have to buy those additional items...but they are essential! The $70 is mostly what the wood costs and includes the shelf liner I bought for it. Anyways, tada for now...we'll see how long it will be before I post another...post xP

Excel 2010 - Send Only One Sheet (Highlighted Cells)

My coworker wanted to find out how to only send one sheet to people because she has this massive master excel workbook but doesn't want to send the whole thing, only a sheet with information that only they should see.
I googled everywhere and there really isn't a possibility to export and send a sheet unless you do it manually.
I did however find a way to send highlighted cells, columns or rows into an email automatically. The only thing that sets back this process, is that you do have to have Outlook, have it set up, be conencted to it and have it opened.

These are the steps you take:
1. Right-click on the quick acess toolbar or ribbon (the quick access toolbar is the bar with the small buttons that are small waaay on the top-left corner of your Excel. The picture below depicts me right-clicking in it).

2. Choose "Customize Quick Access Toolbar".
3. It'll give you two lists. The left list ("Choose commands from:") are buttons/commands that you can add to your current quick access toolbar and the right ("Customize quick access toolbar") is a list of commands that are pre-existing in your quick access toolbar.

4. From the left drop-down list, choose "Commands not in the Ribbon".
5. Scroll down to "Send to Mail Recipient".

5. Choose "Add>>", to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar. You should now see it on the other side of the list.
6. Choose "OK".

7. You should now see a button with an envelope on the top-left corner.

8. Click on your new button. A window will pop up that will ask you what do you want to send.

9. Choose "Send the current sheet as the message body". 10. A whole section should appear right underneath your Ribbon.

11. You can now add your recipients, subject title and also add any other necessary text if you wanted in the "Introduction" field.
12. Choose which cells, rows, or column you would like to send out.

13. After you have decided what you want to send, choose "Send this selection". The section should disappear.

The message you just sent will look like this when they open it:

Well, I hope that helped some of you!
Sorry if it was crappy instructions! I was in a rush :S

Bye!
