I think I'll try drawing something I've wanted to draw for a long time… U.S.S. Enterprise VOLTRON! That's right! A giant robot formed from all the Enterprise ships of the prime Star Trek Universe (sorry, alternate Enterprise from the newest movie… you don't belong here). Haha! This should be easy to dr…
*notices the shapes of all the ships*
O… kay… this isn't gonna be easy…

Oh, gawd. I've been to that museum. I'd recommend it, but I don't think I'd go again. Pretty emotional- and I'm not an easy egg to crack. :/Moving along, the Jewish museum was very moving as well as very depressingWhen I was in high school I lived near Washington DC and the big Holocaust museum there had just been built. first we went there as a family, then we had two school trips there, then a relative came to visit and that was one of the places they wanted to go. Then another relative came and wanted to go there and I was like NO, I AM NEVER GOING AGAIN because my feelings toward it had changed from respectful to depressed/bored. Anyway they went there, I walked down the street and ate a giant pretzel and looked at dino skeletons.
AND I NEVER DID GO THERE AGAIN
came across an old lady lyin on the sidewalk today an while we wait for the paramedicals she told me the deal. turns out she was takin her little doggie out fer a walk an bein a little doggie he dumps right there on the sidewalk but bein a good citizen she goes in witht the plastic bag to grab that shit but bein an old lady an not to unsteady on her pins she falls right in the shit an crack her head open on the sidewalk - lucky i came by when i did cos that aint no way to cash em in
theres a moral to this tale but itll take a better man than me to discern what it isit
@ HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TALK:
On my 8th grade trip there me and my friend were left behind in the museum as 360 other students went off to lunch.
And the game we played in it was DO NOT LAUGH.
…Some of us might have laughed.
But not in the serious parts.
We limited the bad jokes in those parts.
Cause that would have been REALLY BAD.
But I may or may not have broken part of an exhibit there.
…
today was a depressing day, so spoiler tags so you don't get accidental sad.
[spoiler]are family is all in town for my cousins wedding. my sister, brothers and i drove up to where we used to live. It was the last place we were all together with my father. The houses were all torn down, and the dairy had been turned into a conservation. We found what was left of the road, hopped a fence, and found where our old house was, based on pictures of trees.
We sprinkled his ashes around the tree from the backyard. it was pretty emotional.
[/spoiler]
i spent 10 hours in a car today, and saw an alligator. it was an overall cool day.
Happy Birthday, Crocty!!! Have to imagine that Ochi will approve of the temp tat.
@Ally: I once had a washing machine that sounds very similar to yours. When we sold our house the buyers said they wanted it - we mentioned - they insisted (another story in the archives of be careful for what you wish)
@seventy2: I guess that's what they mean when they say you can't go home again. sounds like a very full day
@Dodgy: WOW! I'm glad you were there for her!
Re museums / monuments / memorials, you can have one hell of an emotional overload in DC. I haven't visited the Holocaust Museum, but I've visited the Vietnam Memorial and, walking that walk, and seeing the other people there looking for names, it is one of the most moving tributes I've seen/experienced. The WWII, not so much. So much history to remember, but it still doesn't seem like we're learning much from it.

So, another chapter in my battle with our school district. Today I came close to "calling down the thunder" because of a neat little maneuver on their part that if I hadn't got hipped to it today, we would have been pretty screwed. Frankly, I can't believe the deliberate mendacity – it makes me want to go back and reconsider some of Kyupol's posts.
So I upped the ante. Because, it's true, ain't no one messin with my cubs
:( Awww Seventy, I'd give you a hug, but you can't transfer those kind of things over the internet. I hope you're all right.
——
Happy Birthday from 12 hours in the future, Crocty! Sweet tat you got there, man ;D
——
AND I NEVER DID GO THERE AGAIN
Hahaha!
It was pretty intense, and I did enjoy it, but I don't think I would go there again of my own free will, it was far too upsetting. But I might have to go there again soon, because I needed the information from there for my English Assessment, and I didn't get it all down the first time becuase we were in and out in two hours, and it really an all day thing.

@Ayes: I wasn't going to mess with your children before Ayes, but now I most certianly won't if you trn into a bear!

Last day of term today here, I'm having a good last day. Watching Mr. Bean's Holiday with the year sevens, what of it? ;) But I have heaps of work to do over the term break, including a massive Geography project, an English speech, an Ancient History essay and a Modern History essay… uuuughhhh…. Safe to say I won't be doing anything mildly interesting during my break. :/
Heh… finally woke up… and it wasn't exactly pleasant. Pretty hot right now, even at 4PM. Programming a visual novel is giving me another kind of headache. I don't feel like hardcoding all the text for the game into the main program. That'd make patching the thing difficult.
Um… anyone know what a "waifu" is? Game's got this premise. You create your own character, give him/her traits and stuff, then interact with the game world's inhabitants and try to have a happy ending with one of them. And no… if I made it an eroge VN not a lot of people will be able to play it. Legally, that is.
I wonder how bad things will get if the age to legally procreate was raised to 80 years of age and violation of that law had the penalty of death for both offenders and any children they may have had as a result… And the law was enforced by teminator-like robots…
Oh, well… whatever… Gotta let my mind simmer now after having been heated up during sleep.
Really weird thing happened last night.
I guess I was so tired that I dreamt what I saw was… different?
Late last night my parents really came upstairs argueing about who broke something and I can remember the exact words (I told my dad them and he said it really happened) and my dad went from blaming mum to blaming me and I couldnt be bothered to get up so i slept until the next morning and told my dad not to blame me. everything happened in real life (i thought it was a dream) apart from the telling my dad not to blame me bit. is that weird?

It should be www.thestudiokids.blogspot.com because otherwise it just takes you to the DD site. Just so you know how I create my URL links, first is "url=http://yourwebsitehere" in brackets, then what you want to name the link (any name will do I think), then "/url" in another set of brackets. :)
Nice site though. It gives me that "60's" vibe though. Then again, anything covered in hearts with that color/graphic theme tends to give me that vibe. :)
One odd saying I got from a guy who actually lived in the 60's… "if you remember that time, you weren't alive"… apparently everyone was intoxicated with various toxic substances at the time…
—————–
Here's another odd thought… would it be a violation of the U.S. Constitution if a murder occurs in the neighborhood but no one in that neighborhood wants to talk about and you bring in a powerful telepath to sweep the entire place of thoughts? And all this for the purpose of knowing who the killer is, then merely finding any evidence against him that will stick? :)

i absolutly love that; it couldnt get any better unless you were handin out free unprescribed pharmecuticals or somethin. i may need you to design somethin like that for me when i get some cash togrher
One odd saying I got from a guy who actually lived in the 60's… "if you remember that time, you weren't alive"… apparently everyone was intoxicated with various toxic substances at the time…
the sayin is meant to be "if you remember the 60s you weren't really there" - if you weren't alive then, you would actully be dead now. it colludes to the fact that in theory, everyone was high on psychotropic sustenances, but thats not really true cos my dad told me he only got high one time an that wwas from buildin model planes in a poorly ventilated garage.
I was six when the 1960's ended so all my first memories are from that decade.
A very small but very vocal minority took all the drugs. Everyone else that was there just wished they would shut up and go away.
The decade everyone would really like to forget is the 1970's. However, there's not enough drugs in the universe to forget that disasterous era.
Instead much of America managed to catch senility from Ronald Reagan in the 1980's and therefore forgot the previous two decades. lol!
Except for evangelical Christians who are convinved it's still 1854 and Darwin and the American Civil War haven't happened yet.
I have some memories of the 60s, but most of what I know was learned afterward. That decade, imo, had so many different shades of cool that it's hard for any other decade to measure up. Maybe the 20s.

And now: a Thread Overlap
since the voice contest thread, altho not dead, seems to be comatose. Attention:
Last Call, Drunk Ducks
Tomorrow is the last day to send in your voice recording/try out.
Votes and guessing commence Sunday. ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IN.
thank you. please carry on with your Rs, Ms Rs and Ss
Yeah! Get your recordings in for the radio play!
Do it!!!!
Man, no way! The 70's were the best. No, the worst decade was the 2000-2010. A few good things came out of it, like Drunk Duck, the massive flowering of webcomics, and some other stuff, but the proportion of pure shit has been far higher than the benefits:The decade everyone would really like to forget is the 1970's. However, there's not enough drugs in the universe to forget that disasterous era.oh i dunno, it wasn completely stoopid i hear (this is obviosly why there wasn enough drugs to go around)
- The comeback of hoody as a garment. Truly the worst travesty.
- The Tsunami in the Indian ocean
- 9/11.
- The horrible wars against Iraq and Afghanistan.
- Celeb culture worship moving into overdrive.
- The severe downturn in the production of original film content in Hollywood.
- The hoody in awful 1980s kiddy prints.
- Severe upturn in hyper commercial pop-music caused by the music industry cutting promotion budgets to anything else but their "sure things", meaning that anything else has to dribble out via alternative channels only while pet acts dominate ALL mainstream media.
- Upsurge in racism against black people in the US due prominence of Obama.
- Biggest upserge in anti-muslim bigotry the world has seen since the crusades, in spite of the fact that Islamic terrorism is probably at the same level or lower than it was back in the 80's (and only represents an infinitesimal amount of Muslims anyway)
- Huge upsurge in Christian fundamentalism and active attacks on science in the education system in all Western countries.
- Big moves towards attacking the environmental movements.
- bigger gaps between the rich and poor than ever.
- Undermining of workers rights…
I could go on…
If I could think of anything else! Hahaha! I'm tapped out. -_-
Jesus fucking christ, in the past week, WEEK:
-A hawk snatched one of my chickens
-A starving possibly rabified mountain lion was scratching our trashcan
-A BOBCAT was circling the chicken coop this morning, and dads gun didn't fire properly.
Argh…I confined my chickens to the coop and moved them really close to back window but it doesn't seem to matter. Now i'm trying to distance myself from them because it looks like they're predator bait 24/7 and i still feel bad that blackie is gone.
Having a crappy week.
My school called me maybe 2-3 days ago and invited me to the awards/scholarships ceremony today, but didn't say what I had won. I had nothing to wear except t-shirts and jeans, so I had to go out and buy clothes. Turns out all I won was some $250 bursary(I don't qualify for most of them because I'm not going straight into university). I guess it'll pay for the new clothes, anyway. And someone else won the Fine Arts award, which I'm really sad about. Apparently top mark in art two years in a row(not sure about this year yet) and spending like 3 hours a day in the art room isn't enough. Don't know what more I could have done.
Also, things aren't going very well at work. For whatever reason the new owner doesn't like one of my coworkers, and is constantly looking for things to get mad at her about. That's upsetting enough, but she's started trying to get me to throw her under the bus as well. It's just so strange as well, because my coworker is great and the owner has been too except for this. I don't understand it at all, but it's very uncomfortable and upsetting.
Oh, and she's cutting the hours of me and the other part-timer, which really sucks. I really need a full-time job, but it seems just about impossible.
I'm feeling very down.
-A starving possibly rabified mountain lion was scratching our trashcanYou have bobcats and mountain lions there? Jebus Skull, where do you live? Awsomeville bestplaceintheworldtown? O_o
-A BOBCAT was circling the chicken coop this morning, and dads gun didn't fire properly.
@Hippie. That sucks :(
Is anyone else having the site load like crap for them?
That an multiple log outs, no matter what page you're going on.
And also having it constantly messing up in loading a page?
Just me?
Well screw you too Mr. Computer.

i thinks she said it was beverley hills
Getting stressed. Supposed to be moving house in august, things aren't going to plan and it might not happen until september… or decenmber. But it might still happen. Also trying to organise a holiday but due to the potential move I cant. We didn't have one last year due to finances and I don't want the kids missing out again.
Is anyone else having the site load like crap for them?I’d describe it more like molasses, but, yeah
another chapter in my battle with our school district.And today – I think we have success
So I upped the ante.
It's not that I can't play hard ball, I just don't like to. and now I'm very sleepy. time to hibernate.
send in your recordings please
Wow… it's been quiet in here all day. I wonder why?Those constant logouts Leet mentioned. Made it almost impossible to use the site.

@Ayes- Congrats and good luck!

@ Dodgy- I confess that from her descriptions I did get a whiff of hillbilly and it brought to my mind Robert E Howard's stories of Nevada native and uber-hillbilly Breckinridge Elkins (who routinely encounters all manner of disturbing wildlife, both human and animal), but as well all know Skull is far more cultured than that.
So I can only conclude that Arizona must be a wild and woolly place to live!
ozone's right, i stopped coming, because it took so long to load. and i'm busy doing other stuff in miami.
