Flash, my mini game. This is enough to drive you crazyyy.

So, as you may or may not know, my classmates and I have been working on this bunny mini game project thinggg in FLASH. (There is a reason flash is in caps...) It took us ForFreakingEverrr to get what we got done. So if your asking me if it was hard, I need to know if you want me to lie to you or not. Hmmm? Well, I'll just be completely honest with you, and tell you that it was the most aggravating, brainsucking, difficult, and some other words I can't even think of, thing I ever attempted to do. Bleh Bleh Bleh.

Was there any good parts about making this game? Ha! Maybe after me being all angry at the computer and flash for not working right, there might have been a few things that went right. I think that my favourite part was when we added the drag & drop code to our bunny. It was the only thing that didn't give me any hassle. (: And that I like ALOT.  So, at that I thank you, Oh Mighty Drag & Drop Code!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Was there any bad parts to making this mini game, you ask? YES, yup, yeah, yep, mhhm, yesh, I ran out of words that stand for yes.....

The worst part about me making this game is that I pretty much suck at flash. I really don't the fact that my scoring, scored with out touching anything. :(( Grrrrz. And I have no idea to fix it. On the brightside, I guess, is you would have a super high score. No matter what(:! Lol.

Well, Well, Well...

Social issues in today's society, where to begin. It'd help if I payed more attention. Wow. There's soooooo many to chose from. It's crazy how many problems there are.

I googled up a site that has MANY issues of today.

---> http://www.buzzle.com/articles/social-issues-in-todays-society.html <---

If I had to pick just one to talk about, I'm not sure which one I'd pick. The ones I'm most concerned about aren't really "school appropriate." I wont go into details, but I think Homosexuality, suicide (teen or any other kind), drug abuse, alcoholism, animal rights, abortion, HIV/AIDS, and human rights are the most important ones to me. 

I think that these issues are most important to be talked about, 'cause to me they are the most serious. They effect everyone. I'll post some links you can go to about each one. You don't have to read if you think it's going to offend you in any way. And if it does, I am sorry.

Homosexuality- 'Some early civilizations, such as those of ancient Greece and Rome, often accepted homosexual behavior but, in general, did not make a distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality as orientations. Homosexual and heterosexual responses were considered to both be "natural" feelings that manifest to a greater or lesser degree in different individuals.'   If you want to read more, here's the site. --->

Suicide- I shouldn't really have to explain. Everyone should know what suicide is. Here is information on it and prevention. ---->
http://www.teachervision.fen.com/education-and-social-issues/mental-health/57088.html

Drug Abuse- Well, here's one that gets a little tough. I'm sure we all know some one in out past or present that has done drugs. I know, I know some people that I use to be close too that do drugs. I don't really talk to them anymore, cause I got tired of worrying about them, and all the pills and crap the were doing.  ((I have an opinion of this, but this isn't the place for me to state it. ))

This is a site that tells you about the affects of drug abuse are and hoe to prevent drug abuse. --->  
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/drug-abuse-prevention.html

Alcoholism- I guess in a way, this could be considered a 'drug', cause too much of it hurts your body. ((I also have an opinion on this, that I can't state on here...)) Too much, in daily doses is REALLLYYYY bad. --->
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/how-much-alcohol-is-too-much.html

Animal Rights- I associate this with animal cruelty. That is wrong. It's inconceivable how a human being with a soul could hurt an animal. I'm not a crazy vegetarian hippy, yelling "KILLING ANIMALS IS WRONG!" type of person. I don't see the  harm in killing an animal (in season) for food. What I do consider wrong is animal testing and abuse. (like not feeding them or beating them or fighting them.)

Here are some animal right facts. ---->
 http://www.buzzle.com/articles/animal-rights-facts.html

Abortion- I feel it's probably going to be in  my best interest not to post a site on this one. I will say, I think it's wrong and should only be available to rape victims...

HIV/AIDS- This should be talked about. There should be precautions taken. People need to know that they aren't excluded from it if they are 'straight'. Even if most cases of HIV/AID are same-sex couples.

This has facts on the issue, along with other site you can go to if you want more. ---->

Human Rights- When I see this, the first things that come to mind: Human Trafficking, the rights that every one have, and how they are abused sometimes.

----> http://www.buzzle.com/articles/list-of-human-rights-issues.html

Like I said before, if any of these are offensive in any way I'm sorry. Post me calm comment about  which one it as and why, I'll probably take it down. Just please, don't be rude. (: 

We're getting close, to something better left unknown.

Recently, I've been so happy. I feel like things are going to get better soon, hopefully. I really hope they do. If they do, then everything will be perfect, well my definition of perfect. I'll have someone who cares about me, and the fighting will stop, I'll be able to go to my friends' houses more often, and everyone will just be better off.

I'm kinda excited. I'm hoping for the best. I honestly think that this will be something worth looking forward too; all the happy times that are to come. (:  If not then, this will be something for me, to learn from.

I really, hope that this works. I want it too soooooo badddd. He's amazing, and being able to stay at home, without having to worry all the time will be great, too.

Better late then never, right love?

 Okayy, so this should have been posted alllllll the way back in the beginning of November. Silly me, never got around to doing it.

Below, are some links that I feel are necessary in mine and Kara's game development. They are very resourceful.

This one is a map of the United States. We are going to use it as a reference to our map in the game(:

 This nest link has poverty levels in the Unites States.

This is the only other link that I have, It talks about poverty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty

These are really cool! I kinda want one, don't you?

It's been a while darling, I've misssed you.

It has been awhile since I last posted anything. I don't feel well, I'm tired, and everything is being torn apart piece by piece. When I feel like one thing actually goes the way I want it too, something else happens and makes everything worse than what it was before. At times, I feel like the ground is torn away from my feet, and replaced by water.  For most that might not a horrible thing, but for me, it is. I can't swim.  So at times, I feel like I'm drowning.

Don't get me wrong, not everything is bad. Things are so much better when I'm at school. I get to see my friends, I have people I can talk to, and I get out the house. Some of my friends say that they understand, I want to believe them, but something inside keeps me from doing so. I don't know why, and it makes me feel like a lousy friends for not trusting them. After everything I went through over the summer, I don't really trust anyone. There are only 4 people that I consider my BEST FRIENDS. I love them, and I would do anything for them. I can tell them anything, and know that they wont judge me, or baby me; when I tell them something's wrong. They either tell me thier opinion or just make me feel better.

Whenever I feel like drowing, they are my life perservers. And for that, I thank them . <3

Best of me; greatest accomplishment of what?

How would I describe the best thing about me?  This is proabably one of the hardest questions that I have to answer. I'm guessing it's because it's about me. It's extremely hard for me to pick out something good about myself. Especially at this point in time.  So many things going on; lack of sleep, problems going on at home. But if it doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? That's what they always say. (I hope whoever said that, knows what they were talking about.)  Anyways, back on topic. I'm going to say that the best thing about me would have to be my stubborness. It is extremely hard for me to give up on something that I start. Most of the time, anyways. If I want it bad enough, then I work hard to get it. If I have my mind set in stone about something, then whoever is trying to tell me different is going to have to work super hard to try and change my mind.

My greatest accomplishment so far in this class will have to be my blogging. I may not post all of the things that need to be posted, or when, but it's my favourite part of this class. I enjoy blogging more than I do making games. (or trying to make games). I think it great that there is a place that people can voice thier opinions, and capture the hearts of whoever reads it. (Depending on their topic , of course).

Give me something to look forward to....

Ever feel like giving up hope; that nothing ever goes according to plan? I know the feeling, all too well.  Things are not the best at my house, I'm not complaining, but I just wish things aren't as horrible as they are. I know everyone has problems, and others go through the same thing I'm going through now, but I'm breaking. Slowly but surely. It sucks, I just need something to keep my mind off of it...
I feel like I haven't blogged in forever, so I guess that's why I'm doing it now. It gives me something to do, at least. As of right now, at this very minute, me and Kara (mostly  Kara) are brain storming for our paper prototype... Ha. It's a lot harder than I expected. World Hunger, there's a ton of things your brain can cook up. 
***And not as in cook up so a zombie can fulfill it's bloodlust or brainlust. Ha.*** I think our game will be pretty cool. And if you think otherwise, unless you're my teacher, then YOU"RE WRONG. :P
