  1. I was messing around, attempting to make characters (letters/numbers/symbols) into faces in class... Then this happened:

  2. WTF? All holidays I kept my body clock within an hour of what I needed it for school so that I got enough sleep and the thought of going to school today kept me up last night!

  3. Turning in early guys... First day of my last term of high school tomorrow... Countdown begin: 6 weeks till I graduate! So... G'night!

  4. I like anime, My mum drives a Toyota (a japanese brand) and I think J-pop is kinda cool... Maybe I'm just weird, but to me, Japan is a place filled with nothing but awesome. Well, not completely, but most of it is amazing. Heck, I even love Japanese mythology, tradition and culture in general. However, the reason so much innovation comes from japan is, quite possibly, because most of the people there have strict schedules to follow and very little freedom in adulthood. They rejoice in what we consider weird because they need a break from reality. The time they have to themselves is used taking a break, escaping from their poor repetitive lives... It's the only reason I could not live there.
  5. The acoustics in my shower suck.

  6. The power of positive thinking- I wanted to go for a walk with my mum, and my mum asked me.

  7. Um... A few hours ago I wished I could go for a walk... One hour ago, my mum decides to take me for a walk! And I just got back...

      You put that wish out there, and the universe answered. Is that so hard to accept?

      It appears the universe is on my side for once... After what it put me through this morning, I'm not surprised.

  8. Soo... I can no longer watch YouTube... Any ideas on what I can do now guys?

      Internet's been slowed to a crawl. I can't watch Videos anymore... I need something to do. I have a few hobbies, but nothing consumes time like YouTube...

  9. Gah! My younger brother is the worst! After 3 days of keeping internet usage down, because we were kinda close to our download limit, my younger brother gave up and started splurging. So, in the space of 2 days, the data usage went from 2 Gigabytes a day to over 10! Our limit for the month is 200, but 5 days ago, we'd somehow managed to get to 160, probably because both my brother and I are on holidays, and love YouTube and the internet. Now, there are 5 days left, and we have no broadband internet data left. So we've been slowed considerably, to the point I can't watch YouTube anymore. Which is annoying because I had kept my internet usage down. I had exercised self control, but I had no idea of what my brother was using. He'd been the one to suggest the 3 hours YouTube limit. I'd thought it unfair because I wasn't the one who'd caused this, but I went with it because I didn't want to have the internet throttled. And then he goes and breaks his limit. He used up all the data I had been rationing. And I'm not happy. It's like how he eats all the stuff he's no supposed to. The stuff that is meant to be given to us kids as a treat, he finds and eats. All of it. He ate all the Vanilla crispellos (chocolate covered wafers with fudge filling), which were my favorites, without asking and without having them given to him. It's like he has no respect for the value of things. And then he has the nerve to go and blame me. Me. Miss obedient and kind. But because my mum knows I'm much more obedient, I'm the favorite. He gets good marks, but is horrible to me and my mum. He complains, he doesn't do what he's asked. Whenever I tell him that we have to do something, he'll just complain and sit there until I've nagged him even more. Asking nicely doesn't work with him. Part of it, I think, is because he's bigger than both of us. Because of his size and his attitude, he thinks he can do whatever he wants. He thinks that the wisdom and caring that my mother and I show him makes us submissive. I generally am. I'm obedient, it's what I do. I prefer to avoid confrontation, and doing what others want me to is the best way to do it. There are times when I'll draw the line. I'll only do what I'm told if either I trust the other person, or I think it might be a good idea too and just didn't think of it myself. Generally, I put a lot of trust in my teachers, that they're teaching me the right stuff and that what they say I should be doing, I really should be, I trust my mum and dad because their my parents, they've been looking out for me since I was born, and I know they wants the best for me. I trust my older brother, because I've learnt to go to him when I need help. He's beaten video-game bosses for me, taught me how to play games and sometimes protected me from my younger brother. They've always had my best interest in mind. My younger brother never had my best interest in mind. He's gotten in the way of my growth. He's become power hungry. He values money most, family last. He just doesn't care about me. Particularly me, because he and I have never gotten on. We've always fought over something. Now, we have so little in common. We can hardly talk. He wants nothing to do with me, and that's fine, except that we live in the same house, we share a room and we have to share food and internet. Lucky me, I'll be gone in 6 weeks. Thank the universe for that. Finally able to move to my father's place with my brother. Gotta get a job though. And I'd better start searching soon. But having a job, will be so much better than living in this nightmare. At least I'll get paid for the stress it causes. Note to self: If my younger brother ever comes crawling to me for money or a place to stay, send him through hell to get it. If my older brother does, let him in, but bug him to get a job. In other news, it's a beautiful day. My mum and I were thinking about taking my younger brother out for a picnic. He'd hate that, but it'd be good for him. He's only been outside twice in the two weeks we've had off, both times in the early evening, when the light of day is fading. I'd love to get outside, but I want someone with me. Maybe my mum and I can go together. Mother daughter time?
  10. Happy Birthday Forums which I'm on more often than Facebook!

  11. Flippin' heck man. I'm feeling like I'm about to lose consciousness at any moment, and have all day. I think it's time I hit they hay. This mind-clog aint gonna fix itself! Night guys!

  12. For some reason, my brain has been feeling funny all day. I don't have a clue why. It's been like this since I woke up at 4am this morning for no apparent reason. It's like feeling tired, but not tired... It's weird.

  13. G'night! May luna watch over your dreams and Celestia bring light to your waking hours!

  14. Oh how I hate my younger brother. He's the bane of my existence, that he is. He's rarely done me any good, particularly with how great I am to him. He eats all the food in the house, he uses all the internet and he's always bugging me about space, like as if he doesn't have enough when I have less than him! And it's his fault I'm now in a situation that I can't do flippin anything on the internet! We've been limited to 3 hours of 360p YouTube, but he's a quality hog (refusing to watch anything in less than 480p) and an internet junkie. He's almost always playing on whatever Minecraft server he's on, using up even more internet, and he watches YouTube on the tablet we've got too, so that when I'm on my computer, he's using all the flippin internet! Doesn't help that he's been staying up really late, without supervision. I wouldn't be surprised if he's breaking the rules we've been set, because that's what he does with the food! Also, he's a flipping madman. He's bigger, stronger and more aggressive than I will ever be. But for now, I've just got to take it as is. If we run out of internet, then we're going to be "throttled" which essentially means our speed will slow considerably. The fact that I'm extremely patient may mean that I won't have that much of an issue, but he will be flamin mad if it happens. He won't take an "It's your fault though." Not from mom, not from me. I'll just have to ride out the storm or sit here and wait until the storm has passed in front of me.
  15. Due to YouTube being under strict time frames, I'm about to go to be... Night everypony@ May Luna watch over your dreams!

  16. I don't quite understand... I'm quite smart, but this is beyond me... From what I can gather, games are essentially giant social experiments, free from the harsh penalties of real life, where trolls run rampant, destroying everything that they can.
  17. I am fully prepared now... Avatar has changed... It'll be back to normal in 24 hours, because I don't feel like keeping it up more than a day. Also, I know this is a joke, but I'm feeling "festive" and in a really silly mood so I'm in!
  18. I may or may not have joined the millions of other teenage girls who've learned how to do the actions to the cup song... My younger brother is unimpressed.

  19. Guys, is there something I can do without the internet that will calm me down and not remind me that I shouldn't be watching YouTube?

  20. Literally having to stop myself from watching more YouTube... Although, if my family reaches my download limit, I still have Zelda, Pokemon, Origami and Drawing. It's not like I can't survive without the internet.

  21. I have the worst younger brother ever. He eats all the food, uses all the internet and doesn't do anything to help out. I'm so sick of him, but he's bigger than me, so I can't do anything...

      He's bigger than me! He'd probably break my bones! If he were a Pokemon, he'd be a Snorlax probably...

      At least you have a brother.

       

      I know that's not useful of me to say.

      I have 2 brothers, one older, one younger... My younger one seems bent on making my life a nightmare. I'm so glad I'm picking myself up and leaving in November. 7 weeks is all it'll be. Then he'll miss me.

  22. I've heard it before. Mass murderers played video-game. Sandy Hook Massacre? Check. That one in Norway a while ago? Yeah, that one too. Yes, they played video games. That's fact I cannot deny. But there's a limit to what you can infer from that. So you can imagine my annoyance when today I saw this: http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/student-found-weapons-orange-co-elementary-school/nZ8DK/?ecmp=wftv_social_201312470064 So, a kid played Minecraft and took a gun, hammer and knife to school. So his father blamed the Minecraft, saying "They use hammers to dig and knives and guns to protect themselves from zombies" He obviously hasn't played the game. That or he's covering his butt with the fact that the gun was his and stored in a drawer. Anyway, the only thing close to what he described in vanilla is swords, bows and shovels. It actually sounds closer to Terraria, because at least that game has guns, swords and hammers, and use them for the purposes of fighting off monsters and destroying things. Now, I know this fandom has many member who play video-games. And I know that most of the fandom are normal, if not kinder, decent, human beings. The fact that anyone would blame video-games for violence is staggering for most of the internet. Video-games can reduce stress and preoccupy you. I mean, who hasn't felt better after destroying a building, car, or killing a person whilst playing a game you enjoy? Yelling for a boss to die, running around shooting everything you see. These mindless acts of violence reduce stress and can in fact prevent you from doing those mindless acts of violence in the real world. But there's a link between these cases of violent crime and video games. I think there is anyway. I'm just not sure what it is. However, I know that video-games can't be the root cause. They might be inspiration, but not motive or means. I mean, who'd kill someone, just to live out their video-game inspired fantasies? I'm not saying they don't contribute, but they sure aren't the problem. Maybe it's the increase in lazy parents who don't care what their kids see or do. Maybe it's the media hyping up all the murders, revealing minute details of how it happened. Maybe it's the idolizing of violence in all media, including video-games. Maybe it's a mental health issue, and playing video-games has been a way for murderers to cope with things like depression. Maybe it's that people with mental health issues, possibly not diagnosed, play video games, become inspired to kill someone and just so happen to have access to a weapon, thanks to someone else? Or maybe, just maybe, it's a coincidence. Maybe there is no connection at all and the people of the world are just crazy... Actually, that last one is kinda true. The people of the world are insane, and only a few of us can see it. I accept that I'm somewhat insane. I live with it every day. I have irrational fears, vivid dreams of either horror or light. I fight, I laugh, I imagine things that could never happen, ever. I doubt a single person out there hasn't once thought of committing a crime, be is stealing something small or killing someone they absolutely loathe. It is only those who act upon these insane thoughts that are caught, but everyone has the potential. Most of us just know better, taught by our parents to behave, to feel guilty for things, although there are less and less of them. Whatever the reason for these crime, it's complicated, and the media should stop blaming something which has grown to encompass a target market. One which they could make a fortune off of, but don't. Maybe media outlets should learn that the people of our world are changing, and that the media needs to change with it.
  23. Hm... I'm not really interested in the pony biz at the moment... Haven't been on EQD for a while... But I like it here. Imma stay here, even while I'm not really into ponies... I probably will be back into them when season 4 starts up!

  24. Some people buy them over a year in advance... I've essentially left mine till the last minute!
