Action Script Hell
I am very cranky. Raaaar! Damn action scripting in Flash. Grrrrrrrr! Mary and I had someone help us with getting our slideshows worked out. I am very greatful to him for helping, but when we were working on it we worked on Mary's pages and now I can't get mine to do the same thing as her page. %@*# I'm not going to get into details, but needless to say I wanted this done, so I could do other things. *cries* ;_: I hate to be such a downer, but I needed to rant.
I have to keep my positive attitude. Nothing is gained if I am pessimistic. Positive energy come FORTH!!! *shoots hands and arms up in the air* Come forth! *wiggles hands* Come on, I know you want to come forth because you are good, positive energy. You like to help people and I know you will come. *golden energy swirling with bright blue does come forth and makes Kush feel better* *puts hands down and sighs with relief*

R.I.P. Mr. Trackball
*is crying and is holding her limp trackball* Good bye Trackball. *sniffle* I will. . . *sobs* miss YOU!!! Ohhhhh! Trackball!! Nooooooo! Why did you leave me and Chichiri? Why??? *sobs*
Ok, I'm not really crying, but I was frustrated. Yes, my poor trackball is dead. He refuses to work anymore. I'm still wondering if he can be fixed. If I get the drivers at home I bet I could fix him, but I just didn't have the time, or patience to deal with it right now. I did get a new mouse tonight. It's a logitech frattle froo mouse. Needless to say, it is really nice. Everyone ooo and ahh at it's optical goodness and it's ergonomic curves. ~_^ I would have gotten another trackball, but it seems as if Bemidji only has two models. *sighs* One is where you use your finger and the other one was too big for my little hand. *waves tiny hands* See? *giggles* Oh well, this mouse is really nice and it works really well. Chichiri seems to like it too.
This weekend was fun and not so fun. I played D&D on Friday and that is always fun. On Saturday I went to Austin's b-day party! He is such a cute little guy. ^_^ He is now four and every time someone asked him how old he was he would put up his small hand and cautiously count to four. As he got to four his voice would get slightly higher and he would sound more excited, "Four!" He got some good loot and clothes for his birthday. We all had fun and I'm sure it will be one that he will remember forever because he got a John Deere Gator. It is a power wheel, or whatever, and he loved driving it from the beginning. I even got to "chase" him as he drove. That was fun. I pretended to be a monster.
Anyway, as much fun as that was, finishing up the blackout CD was not. I did get work done, but I couldn't figure out how to get the sound to stop, or how to do a slideshow in Flash. I did find a tutorial and I'm going to try that. I hope it works because Barb wasn't in school today. Apparently her hand started to swell and she had to take a lot of medication. She didn't feel good so she stayed home for the day. Poor thing. I do feel bad for her. I hope it all works out for her.
Well, I'm going to finish watching Inuyasha (It's a Seshoumaru episode!) and go to bed. ~_~ zzzzzzzzz

I Finally Have Motivation
*sighs* Yeah, I'm finally getting with the program. I feel as if I want to do this work now, I am ready to put my nose to the grind stone. Good thing too because portfolio is so soon! I am feeling pretty good about this. I know it will be a lot of work, but I know I can do it. I still have to figure out my Refined Scribbles guy, but I'm not really worried. I just have this feeling that everything will be just okey dokey. Maybe it is my optimistic attitude kicking in, or maybe it is my sense of delusion trying to keep me sane. Either way, it is a nice feeling. ~_^
I have hit the wall before and I refuse to hit it again. What is the point? As long as I make goals and do my best that is all that matters. However, my partner Mary doesn't seem to be doing as well. She is getting exhausted and frustrated to the point where she can't think straight. I have had those days and I will have more, but it bothers me that I'm the one she calls. Doesn't she realize that when she gets like that she just has to get away from the project for a while. I don't care if it is so close to deadline, it's not worth your health. She has called me four times today already and has waisted my time. Grr. I am tired of it and her. I can't wait for this to be done. I was feeling so good when I started this entry, but then she called me twice and has ruined my spirit. I'm not going to let her get to me. I'll sing and dance and celebrate having not killed her yet. ~_^ There see, my sense of humor is back. *laughs*
*goes to listen to silly Gravitation songs*

I ♥ .png
Today I found out that Flash really likes ping files and so do I. I knew they were cool, but I ddin't realize they would make my life a hell of a lot easier. *snuddles .png* Whoever invented this wonderful, happy file I could kiss you! *smooches*
I am, however, upset with 3D Max. *looks sad* It does not want to import my .ai file (illustrator file) because it is a stupid, STUPID HEAD!!! *calms down* I'm not really that upset about it because I know we will get it figured out. *hopes* I need it to be figured out because I need my little guy. He's part of my portfolio! I'm going to stab 3D max and see if that helps. ^_^ Mmm yes, violence.
Oh, and I promise not to abuse the ♥ anymore. *giggles*

The Countdown Begins
Well, I have 16 days until portfolio presentation. O_O Eep. Am I worried? The nervousness doesn't seem to be bad right now. It hasn't really hit yet. I think the night before and the day of I'm going to be all hyper and anxious. I'm really debating if I really should have a countdown. It makes me more anxious, but then again it keeps me in line. *shrugs* I will put some thought into it.
So much happened last weekend!!! On Friday Luke-san and Jaeix came to visit and we finished up the Necropolis game! I had so much fun! Sean will be happy to go back home, after he turns Futune into a woman. ~_^ I'm sure Guineas will be a very happy father. Heh, heh. ^_^
I also went to the Relay for Life at the rec center here on campus. That was fun too. I got exercise. Meg and I didn't stay for the whole thing because I think we would have passed out. Someday I will go to another one and stay the entire time. The surprising thing about it was that I thought it would be more schedulized. *points* I know, it isn't a word, but hey, Shakespeare made 20% of his words up and so will I. I thought there would be more activities and the music that they chose wasn't exactly music to keep people awake. Come on, where was the beat? I did have fun though, it just wasn't what I had expected.
On Saturday Meg and I went to The Feast of Nations. Meggles was lucky enough to get two tickets from her boss. A lot of the food was spicy, but good. I liked everything except the dessert. It was coconut milk stuff with honey dew chunklets. The best part of the whole thing was the performances that the international students did. Everyone did a great job and I really enjoyed myself. Thank you Meggles-chan!
I'm going home this weekend to celebrate Boston's birthday. <:) *points* Look! I'm wearing a party hat!! I'm excited because I'm also going to play D&D! *snickers* We didn't see that one coming. Anyway, we are going to play Luke-san's vampire/vampire hunter game. I cannot wait to play Kush!!! He is such a sad little guy and meeting this party will cheer him up.
Well, gotta go work on buttons for the blackout CD. Oh! One last thing! ♥ ♥! Thank you Jae and Sam!

Treasure, Traps, And Austin?
Most of my weekend consisted of traps and treasure. *laughs* I played D&D with the crew and we got to run our characters through the Necropolis. Ooo, Sean got a sweet little item. *grins* He got a +10 staff of wizardry. What does that mean? He can hit stuff and all his spells he can cast for the day are doubled. *nods* He is such a happy little elf right now. I need to get Tipsi some junk like that. I have also decided that Sean would have put new spells in her book. He is such a nice little brother. ^_^ I had so much fun and we aren't even done in the Necropolis. We have two floors left, so Luke-san and Jaeix are coming to visit Warumono and myself for a couple hours. Once we finish the game all three will head back home.
My Friday is very full. I'm also going to be helping out with Relay for Life from 9 p.m.-9 a.m. I will be tired on Saturday, but then I get to go to the Feast of Nations. Yay, food from other countries! That starts at 7 p.m., so I will have slept some. ~_~
Last weekend was also fun because we celebrated Easter. We went to Scott and Steph's and I got to see my favorite little dude. Austin was excited to see me and after dinner we went outside to play. Grandma and Grandpa got him some sidewalk chalk, so we were going to play hop scotch Ausin style. *giggles* I never played it when I was a kid, so I couldn't teach him. It doesn't matter he had the idea. Throwing the rock and then hopping. *shrugs* We had fun jumping and running around. After hop scotch we went on an adventure. We were searching for treasure that the bad guys had hidden. *smiles* It was like the Necropolis! We had to avoid traps and the bad guys caught us! O_O Oh no! They tied us to a tree and set up a trap so we couldn't get free! Then there were snakes that were going to eat us!!!! It was frightening!!! Scrappy, the dog, couldn't help us because he was on another mission, but fortunately Ping, the other dog, helped set us free. I told Austin that I needed to blow my nose and we headed toward the house. Grandpa was coming out of the door and it was time to leave. *sniffle* My little buddy realized this and he went from happy to sad in point one second. He refused to give anyone a hug and he also refused to say good bye. He went in the house and cried. *sniff* I'm sure he was over it in just a little bit. Kids are cool that way. ^_^
Another funny story about little Boston is that he found his birthday presents. Scott and Steph said that one was an Easter present, but the other presents were MY birthday presents. *chuckles* He believed them, but for some of the day he kept asking me, "Hey Sher, do you want your birthday presents as Easter presents?" "Sher, do you want your presents?" "Do you want to look at your presents?" *falls over* Clever little guy! If I got those presents then he would be able to play with them. Hmm, he is definitely my nephew and my brother's son. Little present snooper! ~_^
Today was a pretty good day. I was dropped off at Ben Franklin to get some matte board and then I walked back to BSU. It was so nice and peaceful. I needed that me time. *nods* I had fun and it was such a nice day. *sighs* It made me feel better about things and I felt rejuvenated. Yeah, I'll get through this semester just fine.

Lugging Chichiri
Whew! I have gotten my work-out for the day. I have class all day and I had to bring Chichiri to my design management class so Leia, Meg, and I could work on our bookstore that we are creating. I brought Chich because we are going to use The Sims to make our store. *grins* That was my idea. *blushes* Thank you, thank you. So anyway, my arms are like uber strong and you don't want to mess with me. *flexes*
Hmm, not much else is going on. I read my script to the other five multimedia students. I can't believe how fast this semester is going. *sighs* I'm glad, but I am getting really stressed. Barb told us that we were normal to feel that way. This is what I'm wondering. Should we feel this way? Wouldn't it be nice if the teachers took note of this and didn't assign so much? That would take a lot of the stress go away. That's just my thought, but who really cares what I think, right? Ok, now I am just being bitter, but that's ok. ^_^ I think I just typed a Chris line. *shrugs*

Tiqua Is So Sad
Tiqua is a puddle of unhappy right now. *smiles* I DM-ed tonight and I killed two characters. I killed Chris's character, Bill the sutak, and I killed Quinn.
Tiqua: Why did you do this?
Kush: Chill dude. Bill died too.
T: Bill is not my daughter.
K: Are you angry?
T: YES! I just found her and now you take her away!
K: You should care about Bill too. You never know, he could be your son. *giggles*
T: *narrows eyes* That was not funny. I just lost my daughter to an earth elemental and you make jokes.
K: Well, let me think for a second. You *points* are the court mage of the Shazeek Kingdom. You are rich and a powerful wizard. I think we'll get her fixed.
T: It's hard. I just met her and I was so happy. I love being a father.
K: Aww, aren't you the cute one. *pats Tiqua's head*
T: *nods sadly*
We had fun. It didn't seem like we got anywhere, but they did find out about the assassin guild living in the cave. Well, I assume they know it is an assassin guild because there are assassin things. I like Faerun, it is a fun setting. I would like to do more games there. Yay! I can't wait to hear them all say, "Shit!" When they finish the mission and go back to the Shazeek Kingdom. Tee hee. My poor elves.
