So it's about 200 degrees in my room. Needless to say, it has made me rather irritable.
My brother's got this friend who plays warcraft with us now...and I have a major problem with him, he's a racist. I try to think of things that make me angrier than racists/sexists/bigots and I can't. It's one of the things that brings out my father's temper, and anyone who knows me knows I don't get angry easily. I'm becoming less tolerant of shit like that as I get older, and I'm actually scared of what I would do if he went on some anti-black rant in my presence. I'm pretty sure I'd see red.
The game project is turning out really well. Even better, Laura took to the map editor like a duck to water and got further in the tutorial than I did. Her house she built also looks a lot better than mine. I might just leave level design to her and Jim and just punch out AI and stats :)
The whole project is making me quite happy. I'm sick of leaving game development to big corperations that wouldn't know a good game if it killed them and stuck their heads on poles to parade around to all the gamers. However, I find that most people are less than enthusiastic about it. I'm hoping once the AGA starts up I'll find more motivated people.
My bank account hit -27 dollars today as I overwithdrew from my account. I've never been in a more financial shithole. I'm beginning to wonder if I really was ready to move out of the house and stop taking handouts. It feels good on one hand...surviving on my own and not taking gifts from anyone, parents included. But it really sucks too...the idea of buying something for the rest of the semester is pretty much out of the question. I mean, I can't imagine going the next 4 months and not being able to get myself anything...but the way it's looking, that's how it's gonna be. And to think, I worked 55 hours a week for 10 weeks over the summer...
