Reminds me of a little ad posted on a cork board near an art class of mine that read something like, "Room open to female roommate" and someone added with a Sharpie "No uglies"...definate lol from me...

Power went out for a second here, then smashed my pinkie toe into my desk lookin' for my little LED flashlight...Hurts like a mofo...

Where do you live? My power went out a couple minutes ago cause of the rain. Something also exploded in my backyard. Haven't figured out what it was yet. I think it was the motion sensor lights. (._.)

Fucking fucked up fucking fuck! Know what's annoying me now? EVERY damn actor, singer is releasing some craptastic fragrance....It probably smells like phallic juices (to those familiar with such a scent, not myself though cos I'm not about to smell it for comparison)... Its just odd really, that every "celebrity" (because if they are on tv, it means they are a celebrity, a star, someone to be looked up to

) wants to release on for Christmas, oh wait..

Christmas, hurray! I can't stand the ads where they go and get some little girl to sing an"adorable" song and then slapping their big corporate logo on it...1) I hate singing... 2) I hate advertisements... 3) hearing a girl sing doesn't make me drop everything and shop at some crummy shop which absolutely stinks due to the 66,000 celebrity fragrances. Sorry, I think I'd rather somehow extract, solidify and then eat HIV, in biscuit form!

I mean...CHRISTMAS SOON! EVERYBODY BUY ME PRESENTS!

I enjoy christmas just for the holiday. I dislike shopping, advertisements, and pointless things. Yes, you make a nice point Scotty. It's quite the torturous holiday :\ I got in a stupid wreck because of all the traffic (when I say stupid... I mean like, stupid. Something you would expect to happen to you kind of thing :p). I like to do my shopping online if I can :p

My stomach is feeling really gross right now... I can't get to sleep. It's almost 2 o'clock. I gotta wake up in 5 hours for school... I don't think I'm going to school... Again -_- Lucky me it's the last week until Christmas break, we shouldn't be doing too much work that I'll have to catch up on.
Good lord I rant too much.
(I don't want to hear it Munsie, I already know what you're going to say :p)

Just wanted to rant once more on the GEE MC...
This thing is so much more than I thought. By adding all the new weapons, so many different MC poses have to be catered for. That means they have to appear at the right time, disappear too, change primary, secondary and armour detail colours. Sure, this doesn't sound too bad. But this is about 20 lines of code per button the highest one which doesn't even cater for the weapons I've done so far, has 77 lines, it'll reach 100 pretty soon ...which all have to work as described above. Its a slow process to go through...And there are currently only 86 buttons to press... There's going to be probably another, hmmm, 25 buttons left, each with 100 lines of code at least. 111*100=11,100. But maybe I'm taking it out of proportion (hopefully, please please please, be less).
;___________;

Here's the bit where I'm starting to not look forward to...Shoulder permutations. Unlike the easy process of the helmets, the shoulder armours change position depending on weapon and then there's what, 6 different types of pads? So that's probably going to be a whole lot more code.

Thankfully, I know basic actionscript and its not like any hard c++ (i find parts of it hard, shut up you orsm people) stuff

Its just mindless repetitive tasks

edit: In light of this rant, I decided to start future proofing my code. It takes a bit to apply, but at least I won't have to go through the process repeatedly later (until the shoulder pads)

Scotty, I'd be more than happy to assist you. I know my way around Flash quite well.

I hate stupid people. Not regular stupid people, well, them too, but moreso the kind of people who make up shit when they don't know it. My teacher mentioned she was looking for an MP3 player to buy as a gift for her sister or something, and these two guys, douchebags, jump into the conversation, apparently trying to help. That's nice of them, as I have no interest in explaining MP3 players to a teacher. But wait, they're retarded...

So they start off mentioning how you need to buy one either really cheap, or really expensive. Why? I don't know either, they just said it.
They follow up with discussing iPods, and how they are different than MP3 players. Yes, they referred to the iPod as one type of product, as if it was not an MP3 player, and MP3 players as a different type of product. Here's a list of their reasons why you need to get an iPod:

Is that why people get herpes around the mouth?
I can't tell if you were serious or joking though >_>

Well they could get Herpes from Oral Sex.
I heard that saliva doesn't kill STD's, but it doesn't supply them with enough to live for even a couple of milliseconds. My science teacher (Douchebag) told me that so I have no idea if it's true or not.

Then there are the people that say that you shouldn't get the iPod because it's made by Apple.

No, more like 40.
