Hi! I'm back in AZ! GDC was interesting. Got to meet a lot of people, hand out resumes, get a lot of free stuff, and win a Sing Star Rocks tournament (and here I thought I couldn't sing). I also got to meet the creator of Tetris and the president of Nintendo of America (got their autographs and everything)!
In more forum related news, The King of the Forums Contest starts tomorrow!!! The official rules have been posted on the Forums board so please go and read them. All forum members are automatically entered and everyone has an even chance of winning. Good luck!
Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

Yeah, because how many posts you make, how many topics you start, etc. are decided completely on popularity, I'm sure.
Anyway. I hate this Latin project. It's bloody impossible.
Oh! And everybody check out skirmish(my new game)! It'll be fun!

Jambo! So in Creative Writing we were assigned to write a story that messes with a classic fairy tale type story, and I had conveniently already written one, which I should post here.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hello.
You guys may have noticed I was gone? Well, Over the weekend anyway. Anyone want to guess what happened?
Probably the worst weekend ever.
I was uber sick. And not only sick, a very disgusting sick. I'll spare you the details. But I'm feeling better now. But man... I hate being sick...
Worst thing about being sick? Milk tastes nasty. And I Love milk. So I can't drink it. :(
I can't wait till I feel better...

Jambo! So, I have my three youtube animes, and I try to watch one episode every day... well, eight episodes of One Piece later, I don't think I'll be getting that creative writing project done in time. Darn you, Usopp...

Quan-su! As far as Mondays go, this one was pretty sweet. I FINALLY got Digimon World DS today. So far it is awesome! I also finally got to see the bizzare-ity that is Borat. Anyone who doesn't watch this movie is doomed to ignorance for it will make you puke sheer hilarity.
Oh and Thursday I might get a Wii.

Jambo! So... I've got a creative wiriting project due tomorrow that I haven't even started, and I just started the Enies Lobby arc in One Piece. Quite a dilema... but I guess I'm listening to Chuu-san here - "One piece comes first!" You can't just STOP at the Enies Lobby arc, after all...
