ZӘӘ Gaming

Alright, I made a new blog. It's called ZӘӘ Gaming. It's where I'll post an occasional update on any gaming accomplishments/progress I've made. I'll be working on getting that all set up today, so I doubt I'll get anything else up on this one. Click the title or the link on the sidebar to visit me there!

O

Well...I broke my O key this morning...which really stinks...

So I was thinking about what I could do, and I decided I have three options...

0ption 0ne:
Use zer0s f0r all my "0"s. This c0uld be p0ssible, since the zer0 key isn't that far 0ff fr0m the 0 key, but I w0uld m0st likely start getting it d0wn right bef0re I g0t it fixed, s0 I w0ld just mess myself up...

pti n tw :
Either replace them with spaces r simply leave ut all the " "s (f r this paragraph I'm using the spaces). This is definitely the least c mprehendable, plus the spellchecker is putting red lines all ver the place. I d n't actually have any m re t write, but I want t keep g ing s that I can write like this s me m re. :P I think I'm d ne n w th ugh.

Option three:
Just do the "O"s with the nub. Obviously this is the one I'm going to do, but this is definitely going to slow down my typing...programming too...dangit. Guess I'm visiting the IT room...

Slipping

Yeah, it's another "removed content" one...well, it had to do with something that really only one person truly understood/needed to see, and while I like how I wrote it, it probably shouldn't be kept up here. As always, I'll probably tell you more about it if you talk to me, but here where I have no idea who sees it (why won't you comment, people??), I'm not keeping it up.

Closure - Updates

Alright, apparently some of these posts need updates...I don't really remember any besides "respect" needing it, so we'll see as we go!

Let's start from the oldest...oh dreams...I wish I could remember more dreams...I've had a few more "vivid" [Whoa, my "V" key wasn't all the way on...] dreams, usually when I take a nap or wake up in the morning then go back to sleep, but I only remember one well enough to write about it. However, I will wait until I get to the other post where I wrote about dreams ("Various") to write about it, since the situation is more similar to that one.

Alright, the important one...Respect: The situation in that post left me not especially happy with my team leader. But as the quarter went on, she definitely earned my respect back. She was excellent at leading our group and she didn't do anything offending again. Before I wasn't sure if I could call her anything more than an "acquaintance," but now I can definitely call her a friend.

Hmm...Minesweeper...well, I still haven't beaten Expert...in fact, I'm now taking a short break to try a couple times more. :)

Grr...still couldn't do it, though this time I got down to 4 left. :/ Ah well, I'll keep trying and eventually I'll get it...

OK, now we're to the dream. I'm not going to write the actual dream, for reasons of my own, but I'll write the stuf before it and resulting from it. So, it was a Friday. I had unfortunately stayed up quite late the night before, so I was very tired and could barely comprehend what my Sets teacher was saying. So I laid my head on my arms and went to sleep. I had a dream which...while somewhat odd, made me realize even more than I had before that I needed to fix something. I...well, ultimately failed at fixing it, but I did try...:/ That dream was amazing though. It wasn't especially long, but it created the most feeling I've ever felt in or even about a dream...

I don't think I've had any more thoughts on laughter, though I have considered emotions and some of their effects (mainly the less obvious ones)...but that's a subject for another post, plus it isn't thought out enough to write about yet anyway. So that's it for this post! That's probably it for the day too, I need to do some homework...:/ Darn Algorithms....

Closure - Hilarity 1

I know, I know..."A new post!? AAAH! It's a sign of the Apocalypse!!!" Well, at least you can die reading my words. :D If that doesn't appeal to you, I suggest you do something else so you'll die happy. I don't want a "Caused an unhappy death" keeping me out of heaven. :P

So, let's wrap up that filler post, no? I still haven't remembered what "Hilarity 2" is, but I'll write number 1 anyway. By the way, these are things that I laugh about every time I think about them.

Imagine, if you will, a line of people, waiting to take pictures for Prom. In the middle or so there are a group of four, in a square. In front, on the left, is me. Next to me is my date, Allyson. Directly behind me is my best friend, TJ, with his date, Emily, beside him. There is a wall to Allyson and Emily's right, which has a light switch (flipped "on") a couple feet in front of us.

Seeing the light switch, I pointed it out to Allyson and said, "What do you think would happen if I turned that off?" She laughed and said, "Only you would think to do that." I replied, "Nah, I think TJ would do it..." Allyson turned around, looked at TJ, and said, "Yeah, I guess TJ would do it." TJ, who heard nothing before, as he was talking to Emily, gave a confused "Wha...?" I told him, "Yeah, you'll do it." He asked, "Wait, what am I going to do?" I said, "If I tell you, you won't do it," and Allyson said "But you'll do it." I told her, "We should turn back around so he can do it." She agreed and we did, leaving TJ confused, but he just said "OK, whatever..." and shrugged it off. Not more than a second later, he pointed at the lightswitch, leaned over to Emily, and said, "Hey, see that lightswitch?" Allyson and I cracked up but he still finished, "What do think it would do if I turned it off?" We spun back around, grinning and laughing and said "That was it!" :D

I'll post number 2 when I remember. It's archived in an IM history if nothing else, so I'll get it up eventually...

See the other "closure" posts for more exciting resolutions to the "filler" post!!!
