If a dog went into the future and bit its own tail, when would it feel the pain?

Everyone has a different interpretation of what's to be expected in a contest and that's my last say on the subject, Syk. Today has been the best day ever. I swear, its been just... some kind of a lucky day for me. I think I'm going to forever celebrate this day. February 1st: the day that everything went right. You all know how I've been on and off complaining about flying school and driving school in San Andreas? Well... those problems have been taken care of. I was feeling confident earlier when I started up the game and my confidence showed extremely clearly as I finished the last driving school test in one try. One try! All that work before and I finished it in one try, just after I'd started up the game! I finished the course in just under two minutes, I think it was three seconds from hitting two minutes or something like that. And then, feeling so... happy about finally beating that, I proceeded to get Gold medals on most of the other tests that I had low scores on, but were tests that I knew now I could get gold on. And then, AND THEN, I went to Verdant Meadows and after four or five tries finished the test I was struggling with. The next test was more or less the same thing, only I had to land afterward and the landing was the only thing that gave me the most trouble. When you're landing there are just too many buttons you have to keep track of. X to continue accelerating, square to start the plane to slow down a bit, forward on the analog to lower the plane into a small nose dive(not too large of one, though) and then, R3 to lower the landing gear. As you hit the landing strip, you have to remember to keep the nose down and let go of the gas and I never do. Every time I let go of the analog and the plane bounces back up into the air. But I still passed the test with about an 80% or so, only getting knocked off for time took to complete the course and a small bit of damage to the plane. And the next tests were just simple. Most of them I did in one try and the last one was the one I'd been waiting for ^_^ The parachute jump! It actually took me a few tries to get down there in a decent time and get a high enough score. I passed with like a 71% or something like that. And everythings gone smoothly since then. I've only had a few screw ups during missions, a few accidents that made me a bit pissed but I dealt with it and now I've gone as far as I can without doing the airfield missions. I've finished 3 out of the 4 missions I need to finish to open up "Saint Mark's Bistro." I just need to finish the last mission of the airfield strand, "Green Goo" and its smooth sailing. First I have to finish the other one's, though >.> "N.O.E.," "Black Project," and one other I think. After that I've just got the Steal Cars strand, Heist Strand, and Zero Strand left on the map. I'd like to go and do the Steal Cars strand so I can open up WheelArch Angels(a street racer car mod shop). Not that I'm going to be doing any street races soon but I'd like to mod some street racers. I don't plan on doing the Zero Strand soon(I know its tough because of all the times I heard my dad swearing about it as he finished it and also by watching him attempt the missions, he did eventually finish it though...) and I'm going to do the Heist Strand first thing I think. Maybe. Guess it just depends on how I feel tomorrow and whether or not I get home in time to actually play(I've got Math Club and my mom usually gets to Xio's house kind of late). myOtaku's a drug and that's that. -DDG
