Personality Subliminal and Too Many Pages

Today we worked a little more on our projects. This is pretty much the last day that we'll get to work on them, so we had to try and finish as much as possible. I have timed myself and know that officially, it takes roughly one hour for me to finish all nine genres per page for single, multi, and MMO sections. I have finished single and multi. MMO is one that I am currently in the progress of doing. However, this is only in the Playstation section. There are also three other sections to be done, with three parts each, and nine genres within each of those. That's three hours times three: nine hours. Nine hours worth of work...THAT I AM NOT GOING TO DO!!!

I'm just putting a little warning or something at the top saying that only the Playstation section is done. WHAT?! PLAYSTATION IS NOT SPELLED WRONG DOCUMENT!!! Whatever. Anyway, so I was able to finish almost all of the PLaystation thing today and that is very good and productive and stuff.

Almost the entire time, I was listening to a certain track called a personality subliminal track. I'm testing out an experiment by listening to it. It's supposed to change your personality after about 3 months by sending subliminal messages to the unconscious parts of the brain. It's just an experiment for now. I would like to see if it works and what kind of effect it will have. All I have to do is stop listening to revert back. Anyway, that'll be fun!

So beyond that, not much happened. I ate food, we did an activity, that sort of thing. I'm going to post this in my portfolio now. PEACE!

Memories of Fable and Many, Many Pages

Today I was working with App Inventor just like I was yesterday. Since I get to come in early now that my little sister is attending the GUTS program, I get about an extra hour to work on my program. I'm really grateful for that extra hour. It makes my life a lot easier because I get more time to work on my app, and there are a lot of complicated parts of my app. Mostly it's the amount of pages that I have to make. Nine genres of video games and four platforms for each, plus four different games for each genre, and three different versions of the games that need to be listed. I'm not a math genius, but I know that the final total of pages I need for that comes out to be: a lot.

There was a Caesar cipher on our survey today. I LOVE CIPHERS AND DECRYPTIONS!! I have to stare at the poly-alphabetic once for a bit to puzzle over the key word code. Of course, once you test out the word code as the shift parameter for the message, everything is very simple. BUT, since the shift is backwards and not forwards, that tripped me up on the first message. I was like, THIS ISN'T WORKING. But when I tried backwards, it was easy. And I really enjoyed figuring out the key word code. I needed to decide if it started over once it hit the second word, but a translation and continuation of the key word made more sense. Ah, I really want to come to the Murder Mystery thing tonight! I'm going to try asking my family about it again.

When I was looking at all these video games, I found various different games that I hadn't seen in a while, like Fable. I remember my friend playing it a while ago. She shot a tough boss while he was monologuing and killed him. Fable takes free-range RPG to a whole new level. I wish I could play it, but I don't own it! I'll have to buy it.

Anyway, that's it for today. Bye!

I'm in Love, I'm Having Difficulties, and LINK IS BETTER THAN CAT NOIR

So today I started my next project which is an app through App Inventor. App Inventor is something that I've used several times before, but the times that I have used it have been far between. Every time I use it again, I end up having to relearn the program. But it's working out great so far. My idea for the project this time is to create a video game selector app that helps the user select video games to play based on the choices they make when asked questions about preferred genre and platform etc. I have to use conditional statements (most if else statements) and tons of abstraction and clarity when formulating the block code.

Now, I love video games, which is a big reason for me doing this project. Ahem. I also love several noteworthy characters from the video games that I play. For example: Link from the Legend of Zelda games. LINK IS AMAZING. When I was a little kid, I had a crush on little kid Link. The small, cute version of him, you know? The one that kinda looks like he has a cinnabun on his belt...but that's besides the point. SO now that I'm older, there is actually an older version of Link that is a teenager and he is HOT. I love him so much! I love his piercing, his hair, everything!!! And my friend Emma has said that some character named Cat Noir (who I just saw from some clips of a show she showed me called Miraculous Ladybug or something) is better. HAHAHAHAHAHA NO!!!!!!!!!!!! REAL FUNNY BUT NO!!!!!!! I don't care how much I like Cat Noir from what I saw of him, but the simple fact is that LINK. IS. BETTER.

There are also several other characters that I love: Sora, Roxas, and Ventus. Now yes, Roxas and Ventus look almost identical (they aren't though, despite the common belief and there is a meme for it) but they are different people and I love them!!!! So anyway....yeah that is my rant for today. I'm in love with Link, Sora, Roxas, and Ventus. It's actually a disease, I think. Schizophelia....anyway!! That's what I have! My friend just left me so I need to go! Bye!!

Maou's Going to Commit Holy Hitman Genocide, and Kung Fu Fighting!!!

So today I finished all of  my calendar events. I am finally done with my website!!! Yay!!! But on top of that, I'm upset because I couldn't go to the showcase. I got sick CONVENIENTLY last week. Isn't that ridiculous? I cannot believe it. I was so excited for it. COME ON!!!!

In any case, today my friend and I watched a try not to laugh challenge *cough* which I always fail at *cough* AND WE DID REALLY WELL. Right up to the exact ending clip at the end of the entire video. It was a scene with Rafiki kicking hyena butt. The first time it was regular straight from the movie, and the second time they played the Kung Fu Fighting song. I died. I had tears in my eyes, I was laughing, and IT SUCKED. I WAS SO FREAKING CLOSE!!!!! HOW COULD I DO THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?! GAH!!!!!!!!!

Now, onto the website, Maou is having some problems. For the very last end of the world event on the calendar, Jesus is born (ya know Christmas and all) and he moves into the compound. Buddha, being the nice guy that he is, gives up his room so that Jesus can move in. Yay! Everyone's happy!

Except now he's moving in with Maou, the king of all evil things.

Maou is not happy. He blames Jesus and Buddha simultaneously, which is a pretty impressive feat. And apparently Jesus tried to come over and introduce himself as a new neighbor with a gift basket to Elatha...interrupting his sleep...and thus earning his wrath as well. So together Maou and Elatha are going to revive the Rainbow Fish to eat Buddha and build a nice cross to crucify Jesus on. I feel like that's blasphemy just to write. But...who can stop them when they team up? Please?! ANY IDEA?! TELL ME WHO!!!!!!

Too Many Events, Zeus is an Idiot, and Maou Throws Parties

So I've officially answered all of the questions on the website in previous posts. As of today, I am placing the finishing touches on the calendar portion of my project, adding a bunch of different dates and events to it, each with their own unique gif photo beneath it. Some of them are absolutely hilarious. I wish I could add an example right in this blog post, but screen shot does not post in it.

So anyway! There are way too many events to plan over an entire year. It is absolutely ridiculous, and way too complicated to plan out and make links for an entire year. They're fun to make and I love looking at gifs for them, but seriously, can we do like two things a month? At the end of each month, there is a different end of the world event. Oh, how I love those. Those are some of the best events. They are hilarious. Maou getting pranked, Kali and Ares breaking up, that sort of thing. Oh, and Zeus picking a fight with Elatha. Have I stressed how powerful Elatha is? He's like totally OP! But no, Zeus has to go and punch him. That is so stupid. I cannot believe he did that. So yeah, apparently he had some kind of death wish. We hid him until Elatha cooled down, which didn't take long because he's actually SMART AND MATURE UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE.

Also, Maou is throwing a party on October 13th. The demons and the bad guys don't get enough time to themselves, so they're having fun with that. Maou is apparently a great party planner (so long as we handle the insurance bills) and the bad guys are all stoked for it. We're personally glad right now that Elatha counts as a bad guy because he's going to stay and watch over everyone else as they party. All of the crew and the good guys are evacuated from the compound while the bad guys have their fun. I think the Kitsune were invited to stay, so they might help a little. In any case, I think it'll be a success if no one dies!

Well, moving on from all of that, this morning we were a human knot, I was arrested while trying to untangle myself, and we were so amazingly talented that the instructors called time before we even figured out who the heck was in the middle and if we had one circle or two. Maybe it was just one super convoluted circle....or a swirly....maybe impromptu handcuffs? I really have no idea what shape we made. All I know: my arms are way too short for that crap.

Anyway, I should probably get going. Today is "Chinese Food". Yeah right. Chinese my foot. I'm thinking more of an American handicap smash-up of processed dough with soup on top. Oh great, my friend just told me that the place in the mall is owned by a Chinese guy. Clearly, that brings China right over here, doesn't it? Bleh. Well, I hope it all goes well. They better have chopsticks. Bye!!!

I Love Karaoke Night,, Debate Night, and the End of the World

In this project, I particularly want people to notice the humor that has been put into it and the effort that it took to make so many different pages and links within one website.

If I could do this project over again, I would probably fix the calendar so that each of the days fall on the correct days of the week...but that's hardly noticeable right now! (Unless you're a nit-picker like Emma or Jillian...Still love you guys, but COME ON!)

It should reflect the effort I put into it and the taste that I have when it comes to the website. Part of it is highly informational and serious, and the other part is humorous and light.

So I started planning events inside of my calendar today. These events are things like swimming lessons by kelpies and sirens, singing nights with sirens, self defense lessons with the mazoku and so on. Now, a few of these can create some problems, such as debate night. Ya see, debate night is sponsored by the Olympians and so the underlying rule there is that Zeus always wins. Even when he doesn't. He's such a poor loser, like, come on dude. Just get with the program for once. GIVE UP WHEN YOU LOSE. OR AT LEAST ADMIT THAT YOU'VE LOST. Yeah, debate night gets pretty heated. Also, we flipped some coins in the staff room and decided that Elatha's birthday is going to be on January 27th. He wouldn't tell us when the actual thing was. So you know, it's all his fault when you think about it. We're gonna throw him a party and everything. Ha ha. Also: my friends gave me a wonderful idea that at the end of each month, there is a different END OF THE WORLD thing going on. Like for January, there is no anger management group so you should hide in your room. In February, Aphrodite discovered that her boyfriend Ares was cheating on her with Kali. That sort of thing.

There are funny memes placed beneath each event description. I absolutely love them. For the one that I am on, it is survival lessons by Maou and Elatha. Scary combo, right? NUMERO UNO VILLAINS COMING THROUGH!! So I have to find an appropriate villainous meme, right? Naturally, I have chosen Izaya Orihara as the prime representative of my evil meme. He's got so many that it's kinda hard to chose from. I found several that I really like....I just need to find the right balance of evil and humor. YEEEP. It might be a little difficult (because Izaya tends to be more evil than humor) but I'm sure I can do it with just a little web digging.

This morning, our activity was something where you say a number and a body part and then that number of people have to get together and touch those body parts together. It gets surprisingly vicious. You end up slamming into each other and grabbing people like BE IN MY GROUP OR DIE. You know? I won the last round with a different girl. I was told that I looked like a gladiator out for blood in my Apollo sandals. Yay me! Lunch time. Bye!

Maou Cannot Use Conjunctions, and No One Remember's Elatha's Birthday

So today I discovered that I really don't get out much. We played "Never Have I Ever" this morning, aaaaand I was very good at it. Ya see, everybody else has done MANY things that I haven't. Ahem, such as 1) riding a bike, 2) eating chile, 3) having a boyfriend. You know, basic things that I've never done. Oh, I rock at that game. It's wonderful. I almost won twice in a row except the girl next to me had never owned a dog aaaand I own four. So yeah, at least I've done that!!

Well, after we went inside, I began working on my project once more. Or, more specifically, I was finishing up the Help page. Now when you talk to the crew, you have four options of people to talk to: Elatha, Athena, Maou, and Zeus. Zeus never picks up (he's out to lunch), Maou doesn't care about anything you say to him, Athena won't answer if it isn't relevant, and Elatha is just...Elatha. So there was a problem with Maou's lines however. I didn't realize that you cannot use ' when you are creating a message to be displayed in a pop-up. I couldn't figure out why his wouldn't show up until REALLY late. Finally, I figured it out and he sounds much fancier.

Also, no one keeps track of the specific days of mythological events. Like "on March 14th this happened". No dates! Do you know how hard that makes it to make a calendar?! So I just changed the function of the calendar to lists of events that my website has. The Mazoku Anger Managmenet Committee is probably going to be hosting something soon.

Teachers are lining up. I have to go. Blech. Why do adults have to eat? Take a page from the monks and fast for a week or something! I have a blog to write! Well...it's fine. I forgive them. Much happiness! Gotta go!
