Thanks guys!
Either I really am growing up or everyone just got me awesome presents this year, because I'm feeling very satisfied with my birthday. Normally I get really excited and then it's a little bit of a letdown.

@ Ayes: It's such a strange feeling seeing something I worked so hard on being brought to fruition. Wow…just wow. I wrote that. :-D
And it sounded good, too, even tho it was only one para.
Frankly, even I was unnerved at the idea of you and I splitting up the whole script. Now there's three of us ;)
@Fools: Fugly is a perfect name for him/her. And you are falling in love, aren't you?
I am, I was worrying about him/her/it all last night, because I've rescued baby birds before, and they've usually died of stress during the first few nights. But he's older then other birds I've rescued, and seems pretty tough. I still can't get over the fact that I had been ranting about small children only a day before on here and then all of a sudden, Fugly arrives. Fugly arrives as a form of karma.
I'm thinking about keeping him if we can't do anything with him (that's code for if mum says its alright), I shall train him, and create some kind of fantastic Pigeon cirus, where pigeons do death-defying stunts for a crowd, such as flying through burning hoops, sticking their heads in cat's jaws and using it as part of a B grade magic act.
I HAVE TO DO THAT VOICE TRY OUT. YES. MUST. NOW. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME.
After reading the reponses regarding to my Biblical Sutdies post, I see that many of poeple have encountered the "Phone" evolution analogy of stupidity, I thought it was just that my biblical studies teacher was particularly retarded in his ideas. But now I see that he's just repeating it from somewhere.Oh, he's repeating crap, alright. Like I mentioned before, a more common example talks about clock parts never becoming a clock unless someone puts it together and it's commonly referred to as the Watchmaker analogy. It even has a wiki article, all by itself.
A similar argument that I've heard is that the eye is such a complex organ but a slightly misshaped eyeball is useless. How can the eyeball logically evolve if no transition forms of eyes can work?
In essence, they believe that the evolution argument is that once upon a time all animals were completely blind. However, since the only good eye is the fully formed eye, evolution makes only sense if a fully formed eye magically appeared with accompanying -pop- sound.
Of course, you only need to examine marine life, in order to find plenty of examples of transition eyes:
Professor Product Placement strikes again, beating out ignorance where ever it may be!
Ah I see, thank you for the explanation of where this stupid idea came from.
I saw something similar regarding these terrible arugments against evolution, an article that was given to me by a biblical Studies teacher in year seven, it was about the "Intellegent design" idea, and showing images of some spiral that appears everywhere in nature and is God's "Finger print". I remember it created a huuuuuge argument between teachres regarding it, and they ended up scrapping it and avoiding the issue completely.
Thanks guys!

Well, I spoke too soon. My dad was like "Hey, surprise! I got you Portal 2!"
And my little sister FREAKED OUT because it's "her PS3" and it's apparently verboten for me to use it. I use it all the time for dvds, but whatever.

D: How old is your sister? Christ, I shared everything with my older sister and vice versa.

She's 11. We normally get along well but she's weird about her "stuff". And just for the record, it's not her ps3. She just hogs it.
Oh, and thanks for the cake, haha! I think I would feel uncomfortable eating that…
Edit: My older sister made me a mix cd celebrating my new adulthood, and it's putting me in a better mood now.

I believe all PS3 versions came with a PC copy (don't know if it was the same all the way up in canada, eh). All you have to do is link your online name to a steam name, and it gives you the option to download to your computer. So you only need to be on your "sisters's" PS3 for a few minutes.
I find that game better on PC anyways.

Product, that was me. I just love…junk…food
Nonsense. I noticed you stealing a slice.
I laughed, so hard at that. So hard.

Ahhhh I see. :/ That's pretty lame. And no problem, trust me, searching for "Hilarious birthday cake" on google and then getting that image on my school computer during Modern was far more awkward, hahaha!
Ugh… I woke up from a very bad dream. It was a dream where I found a large part of myself missing…
AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

In all seriousness though, I wouldn't be caught wearing that… I don't have the body for it. In fact, it'd be worse than some Pattenko anime girl wearing 3 bandages and attempting to pass that outfit off as a swimsuit. O_O

Weather is getting weird. Hot HOT days and rainy nights. What's next? An earthquake followed by the island becoming an active volcano after so many thousands of years followed by a supertyphoon that suddenly forms over my head followed by a 7 mile wide iron meteor coming down on me?!?
Yeah… I bet someone up there in the clouds is laughing at me right now… T_T
Oh wow, OFAV… that pic reminds me of my niece when she was a toddler. I had put some chocolate cream pie in the fridge to set, went to my room to play a game. When I came back I found my niece in front of the open fridge, having somehow grabbed the pie despite being in her walker… and her face completely covered in chocolate! I didn't know whether to laugh or be upset at the time! O_O
hahaha awwww! Cream pie is so delcious, I don't know how she could have resisted at that age!

Speaking of cakes, pastries and making things (c-c-c-c-combo breaker!) I helped out my friends with a Business Studies assignment at lunch today, where they had to make their own lunch time stall and sell things and make a profit. We made Dutch Pancakes, which are basiclly regular pancakes, just tiny and spherical in nature. We ened up making a loss, and covered in pancake mix, and had to run around and sell the left overs.
I went to the History staffroom, knocked on the door and my Modern Teacher opened the door. He saw the pancakes, eyes widened and slammed th edoor in his face screaming: "DON'T LEAVE, I'M GETTING MONEY!!!" He came back and he was like, "HOW MUCH!?" And I told him the price, and said "You know you can just have the for free, we're just trying to palm this stuff off–"
"NO, MUST PAY. AH! NOT ENOUGH MONEY! HERE!" He literally poured the contents of his wallet out into my hand, grabbed the plate of tiny pancakes, and vanished into his lair.
He was like Golem and the one ring.
I thought I heard him say: "my precioussss…."
Oh, and thanks for the cake, haha! I think I would feel uncomfortable eating that…Nonsense. I noticed you stealing a slice.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Hey, I get to make/be the butt of creepy jokes now! Sweet!

@Lonnehart: That reminds me of a few different occasions when I was a little kid.
Once, in the middle of the night, I decided to go sleep in my parent's room. On the way, I found a bag of chocolate chips that had been left out and promptly started eating them all. My mom heard me get up and came down to see why I hadn't come upstairs yet. Seeing her and realizing I would get caught with the chocolate chips, I yelled at her "NO! GO BACK TO BED!"

Why the heck did I choose midnight to start doing all my computer updating? Bah.
@Foolsandvikings ugly bird
Oh god it's so adorable and so hideous its hideodorable. D: Actually kind of on topic with both this and the previous religion topic, I had a very weird experience when I found a chicken hawk. I was in middle school and me and my friends and I were always taking out these books about hawks from the library, after a man had come in to demonstrate with his hawks. I used to constantly wish I'd find my own hawk and train it. One night my mom was driving us home and there was a young chicken hawk right in the middle of the road. It wasn't moving,just sitting there panting heavily while the headlights beamed on it. I got out and scooped it up thinking it was injured, i'd gotten what i wished for and it sat still the mere seconds we were away from home. We put it in an old bird cage but then found it wasn't injured at all. o_o It was just….there. The whole night was so surreal I'd think it was a dream if not for mom remembering. (I had to let it go of course)
But anyways that's the first time I understood why people were convinced a higher power was at work.

I got a haircut! My hair is sooooo soft aw yeah. I have 18in of hair right now after the cut, and the lady said she cut 4 inches off. That's a lotta hair!
It doesn't help that she inherited one of my sister's traits… a very VERY bad obsession with all things chocolate. And unlike my sister, she will eat white chocolate too. Heck… my mother gave her a 5 pound Hershey's kiss for her fifth birthday. Had a hard time keeping the thing away from her mother. O_O

Okay… that teacher scares me. That's one BAD obsession with pancakes. I doubt he'll eat any pancakes I make… unless he's also able to eat heavy thick manhole covers. I bet if Mike Tyson bit into any pancakes or cookies I make he'd be knocked out….

Working on a scoring system for my game. I was thinking it could work like this… character has a "score bar". Each time the character is hit this bar depletes, and when it depletes all the way it is refilled and your character blinks with you being temporarily unable to control it. You won't get off scott free though… continuing increments a "miss" counter which is invisible. When you complete the stage your score is calculated by the amount of points you accumulated divided by the invisible "miss" modifier (which is a float… let's say your score divided by 1.0x, where x is the miss modifier).. Worse… after 3 "misses" you'll be asked to continue. Of you do continue your miss modifier and stage score will be reset to zero and you restart the stage, but your total score (all your stage scores added up to that point) will be split via a whole number instead of a decimal. So your score of 3000 points divided by 30 continues would be.. 100 points… for dodging and continuing a bullet hell level and defeating the final boss… I hope such a scoring system isn't too cruel (since the score determines a lot of things, like which stage you get to advance to and what endings you get to see)…

Don't all women folk have this obsession?
No don't call me sexist, I'm pretty sure it's a proven fact. :D
FUGLY. NOOOOO!!!!
I came home and Fugly was really weak, and was chirping madly at me for food. Mum fed him straight away. Turns out he was far too young for us to leave him alone for the entire day, he really needs to be fed three times a day, it seems. He looks alright now, he's huddled up close to his light, and he's stretching his wings a bit.
D: I was so worried.
I hope its not going to effect him, I don't think it will, but my paranoid mind says otherwise.

Yeah he was… quite excited about them. It was rather unsettling.

Oh wow, what an crazy expereince! And you let it go?! You should have totally kept it.
edit:

I don't.
But then again, I'm allergic to chocolate. SOOOOO…. Maybe if I WASN'T allergic….
