Because sometimes the word filter is a bit annoying. For convenience I'm just going to double the d.
Anyways due to school I obviously haven't been playing Cave Story as much seeing as I'm STILL stuck on my 3hp run in the same darned place, because mutated Sue hates me. But by some odd twist of the internets I ended up watching videos of people playing the game recently and came across a very interesting Cave Story modd, called "Jenka's Nightmare." Along with many other modds like Cave Story
Well, I suppose I feel a bit obliged to make an entry.
Gosh it feels weird not having spell check on a browser. Might be typoes, since I've gotten lazy at catching them manually and this laptop keyboard annoys me. Anyway...
So I got a Sansa. Sure as heck beats the... heck... out of my old player. Good memory too, it's an 8 gig one. Which is around twenty times the memory of my old one. Some issues with video conversion for it (some videos work fine, others it throws off the audio sync by
We watched some old home videos today.
Some memorable moments:
I'm seven and in school giving a presentation on Chinese New Year.
Me (on TV): "So anyway, xin nian hao! Happy new year! Happy new year means xin nian hao."
Me: "I think I got that a little backwards there."
Me (on TV): *points at poster* "This says 'xin nian hao' in Chinese. It looks like four words but it's supposed to be three words. I meant to write three words but I messed up."
Mom: "Well, at least you were hon
Maya is really cool!

>> IT'S A PROGRAM. 3D modeling program. Despite carrying an absurd $7000 price tag, it really is quite powerful. We've just started learning it, in class, and once you figure it out...
It's amazing how they did it...
And where they come up with the names for these tools. I mean, "loft"? When you're connecting two lines with a surface, why call it "loft"? What's that supposed to mean?
It's like how they assigned new meanings to common words when they
Well, today was a VERY good day.
For one thing I missed Latin, Gym, Math, and English. And the rest of the entire day of school.
Why? Because I went to observe the NJ Chemistry Olympics hosted on the beautiful campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, or NJIT. People have called it the "MIT of New Jersey." My response to that is: "NO DUH."
Anyway, this year I'm in Honors Chem, and only AP Chem students can compete, but I was invited to come as a guest since I'd be taking AP Ch
Today I decided to officially stop writing my four-year-old comedy with the perpetually misspelled title.
Officially stop writing. I'd already stopped writing this July, but it was still left open that maybe I'd continue.
However, there is something I'd still like to share, and that was the premise I had planned for a sequel to MR, after I finished the current plot arc in MR (which now, I'll never finish).
It's not really a sequel, more just starting over with a new topic, new plot, sam
One out of 150 student's nationwide! That's pretty exciting! Especially since I thought I failed the quarterfinal test!
... yeah, that's about it. While I'm at it, 52-pickup, chapter 14.
Yay actually Bionicle-related arts.
Also, I'm back home. =D
It's so nice to be in my room again...
And NO DOWNLOAD LIMIT! WOOT! I'ma gonna go watch all the videos I want!
Needless to say I disagree, for a variety of reasons, but seeing as it comes from the administration I get the strangest feeling it's not going to change anyway.
Just in general, I've always been irritated by how people who aren't doing anything wrong are forced to accommodate the loud, closed-minded complainers and proselytizers who can't mind their own business or accept that others can think differently from themselves. Rules against foul language and mature content I can understand, but h
Wow it's been ages since I've had time to put up a blog.
Halloween was great. Unfortunately I found out ex post facto that I was using the facepaints wrong, so my skull wasn't nearly as convincing as it could have been... Plus my nose kept itching, and every time I scratched, no matter how careful I tried to be, a little bit of paint would come off.
Went trick-or-treating with my sister (cowgirl, but we couldn't tell her it was a Barbie costume or she wouldn't wear it) and got a ton of ca
First off I need someone to tell me if the katakana is even readable, or for that matter if it could be further stylized. It's not like I have much experience with Japanese typography...
I just realized the "Tengen Toppa" is off center. Oh well. Fix'd on the PSD...
It's a bit too simple for a good Eva logo parody, so I might throw in some details to the shape later... but this is the best one I've managed to turn out so far.
Also, Lyg spritesheet is at a satisfactory level of completi
It ALWAYS happens... whenever I forget to copy my post to clipboard, the server always picks just that moment to blow up on me.
Well, I'll have to retype this entire post. Thankfully it's not a very long one.
Anyway, the other day my sister was misbehaving during dinnertime. She was running all over the place, dashing over to my chair and chattering away about whatever whims entered her four-year-old mind, then trotting over to the family room to play with her toys for a bit, and then mayb
So today it really hit me how much easier it is to read Japanese than Chinese.
Kana are wonderful things. Truly.
Despite that, however, in an hour to an hour and a half (I didn't really time myself) I managed to get through a whopping 8 pages. Go me. I skipped/guessed a bunch of Kanji, too, since if I looked up every Kanji I didn't know I'd have been there all day. Managed to essentially understand what was happening though.
I wouldn't be attempting this in the first place if I didn't h
Ever build a pillow fort? Aw man, it's so fun... just a simple stacking of pillows and you have a little place, a hideaway... yeah, good times...
Well, anyway, I recently built one for my sister since she's at the age where she's old enough to appreciate something like that but too young to build it herself. It's her little pretend "house" which is really cute, it's actually pretty nice inside, there are three windows, it has an air conditioning vent all to itself so it's always really cool i

Yes, another GIF. This one's 6 mB and over 360 frames.
So my college interview was okay. Could have been better, could have been worse. Interviewer was very friendly.
Hoping to finish one or two more apps this weekend...
They oughta make Leap Day specialer than they do. I mean, it only comes once every four years!
And don't we actually get an extra .26 days each year? So the leap yer gets rid of the .25... but that means every 100 years we should have a doubleleap year! Gasp!
There are forty of them. And counting.
Only some more refinements left for Shana herself! Gotta color the lineart and I want to bring up the contrast on some of the shading. After that I want to give it a halfway decent background. Wings of fire weren't as bad as I thought they'd be.
Anyway as you can tell I was pretty liberal with duplicating and adding layers here.
Today was the last day of real class, before the final days begin.
...
I'M GONNA DIE.
Thursday- History
Friday- Chemistry
Monday- Double-header. First Biology, AND THEN Pre-AP Calc
Tuesday- Art (in a sense), then English
Also, I got my AP Chemistry Summer Assignment today.
...
Anybody ever seen a really scary movie? Read a really scary book? Now imagine that, but ten times scarier.
THAT'S what reading my summer assignment was like.
*dies*
Okay. I'm going to load up
