Life is changing as time stands still.
Comment Commentary

StarBound- Eh, I've written longer. :P

DDG- That's why I have the day counter in my posts, instead of in the header. It's killing two birds with one stone.

Shin- I hope to make her brain explode by the end of the year.

Mimmi- *nods* I still like to make my head hurt, for some strange unexplainable reason, though.

Aleia- ..Whoa, they make clear duct tape? I thought it was always brown.

Solo- Bah! Excuses, excuses. :P

Godel- Just make sure those four-year-olds don't have laser rocket-propelled grenades while your orbiting laser Black Hawks are flying rather low.

Today's been a little reminiscent for me. I was a little bored earlier, so I decided to go through all of my old myOtaku posts. I wasn't going in chronological order- actually, I was going backwards- but it was interesting to read what I had to say over a year ago. You can sort of identify different periods of my life by what font colors I had. The colors themselves really don't reflect the tone, but dark blue was early and noobish, orange was a tad better, and green was the golden era. I really enjoyed reading the green section. At that time I actually had things to talk about- it wasn't just me doing what I am today. I was introspective, though occasionally whiny, and I did it with humor and grace. It had personality. I don't really think my mO is like that today.. Of course, I didn't feel this way about the green posts back when I was making them.

Oh, and Catdog was on earlier. I loved that show when I was younger. It's not even remotely funny anymore, but it was enjoyable to remember when I was little and laughing at Dog's.. Um.. Mispronouncing of things?

The prospect of going to Six Flags Magic Mountain with friends has come up recently. Out of nowhere,
the subject was brought up, and I was invited. I would really, really love to go for several reasons (I haven't been to a theme park in forever, and going with friends would only make it even more awesome), but the odds of me going is about fifty-fifty. Again, the gender barrier is the major problem. When I ask about it, I'm going to bring up how my brother, two years younger than me, got to go to Hurricane Harbor with his friend recently, but his friend wasn't a girl. Hm. I'll still try as hard as I can, though. I'm yearning for some theme park goodness.

A week ago I was employed as the "Unoffical Graphics Designer of Journalism Class," after I threw together that wicked awesome yearbook cover, and I was asked to put together "Journalism IDs" the other day. I started working on it today.. I'm pretty sure I know how I want it to turn out, but it's been a pain finding a good font. The original goal was to find a text that emulates the look of the New York Times logo, but it was nowhere to be found. I eventually settled for some other font, and I'm about halfway done. Once it's done, I'll put it up here. It's certainly not going to be the end-all image, but it's nice. I like the picture of the eagle I put in the background.

The first issue of the newsletter is going to be four pages, with my video game review on page two, but I think it will grow to at least six pages soon enough. Once the yearbook starts going into production, though, I'm afraid the quality will take a nosedive, to the point of suckiness that dwarves even what we have now.

Teh SillyCircus Day 41- Internet problems! Oh my Gawd!
