...Why not restart this, then.
WEEKLY ENTRIES ONLY THOUGH I'm never going to friends-only an entry for every day of the year again it took like 6 hours I'm serious. I have the most boring life in the world though unless you seriously count liberating an internet message board and getting banned from IRC a lot entertaining.
...On the other hand by the time I care enough to do that I can afford a pay account and friend-only them all en masse... no. To keep it at least vaguely interesting it has to be weekly.
First, NGG. I wrote a petition (edited by Scizor CT so I didn't get myself more banned than I already did) asking for a loosening of topicality on NGG so that, y'know, every single post on the board isn't moddable. Then I, along with about 80 other NGG GPs, flooded it to 500 for the lock and immunity from moderation. If it weren't for me, part 2 probably would have been deleted like all the others, so I give myself credit there... results weren't as prompt as I would have liked though. Still no change in topicality.
One thing I've noticed keeping us from a complete abolition of topicality is when GPs do the hate on HCG. Yeah, it's fault, and he was a douche about it, but he's not going anywhere and the only productive thing to do is fight for end of topicality. In fact an argument I've seen from a mod when I asked one why is becacuse we tend to flame each other, and as someone who spends a LOT of time on NGG the only time I've seen this is with HCG.
Also I lost like 120 karma and got 8 accounts banned, two 15 day purgs, but I was the only one who was banned which is super. I accepted the risk, but I honestly didn't want to get half of NGG banned for this...
although maybe it would have been good for the cause. *shrug*
Next, game development. I actually went out and bought a book about programming in Python, the problem now is finding a way to actually USE Python on my Mac OSX (I like to pretend someone reads this help)... the book's a bit outdated there and Google can't help me either.
I've decided to get serious about it. At the bare minimum, I want to spend two hours per day on learning Python, and another two on conceptual development or coding. Learning's kind of put off at the moment until I can actually... use it... and I punked out on the second part, although in fairness I got an idea that's worth more than anything I did in yesterday's two hours.
Also my parents forgot to buy me food for like a week, I think I'm back where I started with my (pathetic and impossible) attempt to get myself up to an acceptable weight by the end of the month. I promised NGG pics if that topic got to 500 and I don't want to get trolled too much about it, also the theory that if I get a lot of weight most of it will go to my (curently!) rather lacking chest area helps... *scarfs down chips even though it's making her sick*
*gets out scale*
...Lost a pound and a half. Super.
Anything else? *taps chin...* I could talk about how NiGHTS is the best game ever but it's so superior that goes without saying and my words wouldn't be able to describe just how amazing it is... I did technically first play it on 7/7/7 though.
Also... other livejournals make having a life sound fun. I troll them on NGG but now I'm a little envious of those who have them... *sigh*
ALSO I'M MAKING MYSELF OVER. Those who have seen me, suggest things. I'm a few years older now but I think I look a little the same (which is to say not good tbqh).
