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!

Repetition, Buddha's Going Fishing, and Maou Ignores all Yours Complaints!

So we answered all of the questions in our blog prompt last time, but that's okay because we get practice typing if we answer them again! On top of that, a few things have changed about my project, so I'm happy to answer again.

My project is a mythology website that takes four different mythologies and four different categories from each of those mythologies and links them together. It is full of humor along with information and I love it dearly.

I had to learn a lot about mythology for this project, as well as different HTML import commands like marquee and gif.

I use arrays and tables, but not too many other typical coding concepts. It's mostly computational thinking.

I use abstraction to boil down what's important and what's not within mythology to put on the website, as well as clarity to make sure everything is...well, clear.

I will answer the other questions at a later date!!

So about my day...I got quite a bit done today! I finished up the news on my home page finally. Did you hear *whisper* the Rainbow Fish was revived! There are some rumors that because it ate Buddha (as you should know from a previous post) that Buddha is going to go fishing. You know what I'm saying? But I don't think he will. I mean, he's Buddha. That's like illegal if he goes fishing. Oh, and Elatha discovered that Mabinogi video game I was talking about before and we're not sure how he feels about that. Cool beans, right? Lots and lots of rumors. Oh, how I love the paparazzi.

And for my sponsors, I have quite a few! Elatha is our website mascot, did you know that? Yes, for reasons unknown he attracts most of our clientele. I think it helps that he's supposed to be the most beautiful being in existence. Seems plausible, right? Also, Maou is the King of the Mazoku (which are like the culminating clan responsible for all evil in the world according to Japanese mythology) and so he is our disciplinary officer. He generally takes care of everybody who misbehaves *cough cough* SATYRS AND KITSUNE! He's the big connection  to Jigoku, the...bad place...and so yeah! He can shove people in there if he wants. Don't get on his bad side...cuz I will not help.

Anyway, he's also supposed to take complaints on the site buuuuuuut he really doesn't. Yeah, he'll probably burn anything you send him so don't even try. That guy is rude, let me tell you. Well, I think he is anyway. Maybe he's not! Who knows? In any case, he works hard to keep everybody in order so he deserves some recognition. BAM! RECOGNIZED!

Well, I gotta go. My friends are all ready for lunch and getting impatient. BYE!!

Ever Heard of Mabinogi?

Well, if I could do this project again, I'm pretty sure I would add more care to the formatting of the pages and possibly remove certain aspects like the calendar. I think I would definitely break it down into essentials and make those essentials look really good.

I believe that this project reflects the work I put into it, because I was as meticulous as possible with the code and the base format of all of the pages. I also went in-depth with every aspect of the website and made sure that it was informational and entertaining. I am very proud of what I have done, and I hope that others find it just as impressive.

RIGHT! So while I was looking for pictures for my mythology figures, I hit the Elatha section. Elatha is an AMAZING BOSS when it comes to gods, okay? He was a member of the Fomorians in Irish mythology, which were technically the bad guys and the gods of destruction and whatnot, and they tended to be hideous demons and giants and such. Not Elatha. So Elatha was the most beautiful being in existence, as well as highly intelligent, skilled, a great leader, and a wonderful general. The guy wasn't even that ambitious or haughty. He was cool as a general. But the other Fomorians were like "no, we need you to be our king", and so he became one of the Fomorian kings. Long story short, Elatha couldn't be defeated by ANYONE and he was actually the father of most of the Tuatha De Danann (the good guys) leaders. He was never defeated, even during the big takeover.

So when I was looking for pictures for him, THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED. You see, there were some oddly consistent results in the image search that showed an anime-style boy with red hair and a pretty suspicious look in his eyes. He also had horns. And a very signature outfit that comes in a teeny Hatsune Miku box package, updated version! Can you see where I'm going with this?

I couldn't figure out where the heck this guy was coming from, and why he was named after Elatha or had a description involving the Fomorians, so I clicked on one of the links. I found an online game (MMORPG) called Mabinogi. Mabinogi. I have never heard of it. Oh what is it, you ask? Well, it is a fantasy world that uses ACTUAL MYTHOLOGY CHARACTERS AND MOST OF THEM SEEM TO BE IRISH WHICH IS CRAZY inside of it. Ah, and apparently the Vocaloids invaded it at some point. Cuz you know, Hatsune Miku does stuff like that. She just don't care.

Elatha is some kind of important character in the game and so were a crud ton of other mythology characters in it. Like WHAT?! THAT'S A THING?! I am now tempted to buy my first MMORPG. And throughout the rest of my Irish mythology character searches, guess which tag was always an option. This thing called Mabinogi.

Mabinogi. Maginobi. Maginobi. IT. IS. EVERYWHERE.

So...I should go right now because my friend is once again reminding me of the reason that we are always the last ones to leave for lunch. Yeaaaaaaah....that's me. BYE!

If The Rainbow Fish ate Buddha, then did it Eat Vishnu too?

I designed a website on mythology using HTML programming where four different categories of figures from four different mythologies are compared to each other and described.

The important learning points that I had in this project were the set-up of tables, and the different aspects of different mythologies.

I used tables, arrays, some variables, and different forms of high-level code throughout the duration of my project.

I used a LOT of abstraction when narrowing down information on mythology and the necessity of certain pages in the code. I also used correctness and clarity to be able to read my code clearly.

This project relates to the "real" world because it is meant to show connections between countries and cultures that may not be obvious at first, even if they are there, through an enjoyable and stimulating subject.

I particularly want others to notice the huge amount of link code that has to be used in order to create all of the different pages I need to make. In fact, there are still several pages that need to be finished because there are so many links.

I would probably improve the formatting of the pages if I could do the project over again. I think it's a little mish-mashed right now.

I believe the project should reflect the work that I put into it. I spent a lot of time working out details and building the entire thing from scratch without a starting reference or starting code. Everything was built from the bottom up and built in detail.

OKAY! So today I went even more in-depth to mythology because I finally got to the pages of the characters on the website. Now, here I have found a dilemma. The god Vishnu in Hindu mythology is supposedly the oldest god in existence. I mean, he was there before the universe created. Then a lotus flower popped out of his belly and a god named Dahma popped out of the lotus and badda bing badda boom the universe was created by Dahma. Now, Dahma is an incarnation of Vishnu, see, so he's still technically Vishnu even if he's a different person. So is Buddha. You know Buddha, right? The super holy guy? Well, he's ALSO an incarnation of Vishnu. Kay, now follow along just a bit longer.
Buddha was eaten by a giant, humongous, ridiculously and illegally big fish called the Rainbow Fish in Hindu mythology. Eaten. Whole. HE. ATE. BUDDHA. That's not right. So anyway, if the fish ate Buddha (who then got out later when some fishermen cut the fish open but that's not important right now), did it technically eat Vishnu as well? Where does that line of connection stop? It's some intense stuff to think about...
Well, I got every Greek page done, and I believe I only have one Hindu page left over. From there, I have four Irish and four Japanese pages left over. Soon, I'll be good to go. Of course, I also have to make the other pages like the sponsors page and the help page et cetera. But you know those ones will be much easier than all these other ones have been.
So I just looked at my hands while I was typing, and I realized that they remind me of a show called Durarara, and I looked like one of the characters who is always typing on his laptop. I look JUST LIKE HIM. Or at least his hands...anyway, my friend is staring at me so I better stop and just get going and stopping flapping my proverbial mouth. Or fingers. Or whatever. LUNCHTIME! BYE!

Buddhism is NOT peaceful!! And other side effects of research!

Do you like all of the pictures above? I hope so! To be honest, a few of them worry me a little...but let's not get into that! These are a few of the pictures that are included in my website so far; different images of monsters, deities, and gods and such. Most of these pictures aren't used in anything other than the borders, though. The real important stuff will come later. I'm finally finished with all of the borders and the formatting for the basic pages. Now I can start to figure out the individual profiles and connections between the gods. I finally get to start! Yay!

My topic of mythology seems a little vague, doesn't it? Yeah, it sort of is. However it does connect to the outside world! The point of my website is to show connections between countries and their cultures, be they famous or obscure. In real life, people don't tend to understand the connections they have with others. This project is meant to show those unseen connections through a topic that is typically found to be simple entertainment. I'm going philosophical here, but I believe that joy is an emotion that connects all humans through most forms, and that to teach inner lessons through joy is the ideal way to reach any person.

So what happened today, you may ask. Today our activity was something called "Who am I?", where you get a card with a famous woman on it which you put on your forehead and can't read. You then have to figure out who you are by asking yes or no questions. I had, drum roll please....Ellen DeGeneres! Now....I have seen exactly ONE video of Ellen DeGeneres, which was something a friend of mine sent me to watch because he thought it was hilarious. In this light, I know next to nothing about her. Thankfully, I made lucky guesses out of nowhere which were correct...but not one of them brought me any closer in my mind to guessing my person. Hey, what can I say? I don't watch TV besides old westerns with my stepdad and I certainly am not social media competent. I live under a rock. No, I live in the best rock place ever! A palace of rocks! Cuz life ROCKS, haha, get it?! I love life.

Anyway, I eventually got it and we all headed inside to work on our projects. Today, I decided to ditch tortured characters as a category because I looked into Jigoku, the Japanese Hell. It...is...horrifying. I WAS ONLY THERE TO FIND CHARACTERS WITH HORRIBLE PUNISHMENTS SO I COULD MATCH THEM TO OTHER MYTHOLOGIES!! BUT NO!! I read an entire article on the 16 different and unique realms that Jigoku has, 8 hot and 8 cold, with painfully vivid descriptions on the 8 hot ones. Each one gets worse and worse and I literally cannot describe how horrible they are. And you can get sent to one for something as simple as killing a mosquito without repenting. My friend says she doesn't care because she isn't Buddhist. I tend to pray and repent for every bug I squash but...I am now suddenly urged into repenting even more. I'm so not describing anything that goes on in Jigoku. Let me just say: Greek torture by being roasted alive in a bronze bull? That's cute.

So backing away from THAT lovely topic, I gotta sign off and head out for lunch. Officially, I'm doing four water monsters, four mischievous spirits, four leader gods, and four evil gods from all four mythologies that I've picked. Sorry Tantalus and Petra; I just can't handle looking for more figures with famous punishments. AND THAT IS FINAL. THANKS BUDDHISM. But hey, good news! You get sixteen chances to get out of Jigoku! It can just take one antarakalpa (a measure of time that can't be expressed mathematically) for you to get it. Lovely. Suddenly the cafeteria lunch line doesn't seem so bad.

Love you! Bye!

Projects and Play of Preposterous Proportions

I am creating my mythology website piece by piece using HTML programming to form a website full of information on four different types of mythology that demonstrates the connections that those mythologies have to each other. It is a super complicated project because I have to research four different types of mythologies and those are COMPLICATED. Also, I can't really spell "mythology" right now. Thank you spell check for letting me know that...Anywho! I have to research Greek, Irish, Hindu, and Japanese mythology and find the connections between all four.

I suppose that through doing that, I will most definitely learn about mythology. I hope to! I do so love learning new things. I also hope to learn how to balance the coding of links with the format of webpages. In HTML, this can be quite tricky to do, but I'm sure I can figure it out!

In order to complete this massive task, I just need a lot of determination and patience. My friend is helping me the whole way, instructing me on a few things that she notices I miss (like saving my page and not understanding why it won't load the changes I made), and other help. It really is appreciated! In any case, I think I can power through and make a website that I am proud of.

A woman behind me was just talking about a guy she knows who would rather speak German and Japanese than speak Spanish, even though he's Hispanic. Oh my gosh....IT'S ME! I am a quarter Mexican, and I speak English, German, and Japanese. Those last two are the ones I choose to learn rather than Spanish at my school....*whisper* I have no comment to give her. *whisper*.

SO! On my website, I get to go back to an Irish mythology book that I wrote once. It's so nostalgic! Like, I wrote it maybe just last year but still! Aaron Essper, that's the name! It was absolutely hilarious. I'm so happy to use all that stuff I learned about for once. I get to write about Kelpies and Lugh and many other creepy things...actually I'll omit the joint eaters. DON'T LOOK THOSE UP. PLEASE DON'T. I have been scarred for life...

I'm having so much fun! Goodbye! See you tomorrow!

The world is big, folders are nice, and I've never eaten jambalaya!

So today we focused a lot on introductions today. You know, like you do in a summer camp, right? We learned a ton of names. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how many alums there were here! Many of the staff members that are here are actually people that used to be YWIC campers alongside me. It's so crazy to see them not working alongside me, haha! But you know, I can still tell that I'll meet a lot more people here and still have a ton of fun!

So I've never eaten jambalaya in my life. My name starts with a "j" and "jambalaya" was the first food I could think of that started with a j. It's super fun to say though! If it's spicy, I probably wouldn't eat it though...spicy foods are the absolute worst! I am a wimp when it comes to spice, and I will gladly and proudly shout it from the rooftops! Why do I live in a chili oriented state, you ask? I do not know!

After we got back inside from our activities, we got some new folders. They are pretty sweet. I'm excited to have a new folder to keep papers in! This will make my life so much easier! Folders are great. Can you imagine a life without folders? Just think of all the poor, loose paper with no home to return to! They'd get lost so easily!

Now, onto the world itself, my project that I have planned out and decided to do involves mythology. There are so many different kinds of mythology in the world. I mean, seriously! What if you were like, the mythological secretary and you had to keep all the different gods in line and keep track of all the different monsters simultaneously. I think we need to raise awareness for mythological secretaries. They work so hard. Anyway, I'm creating a website that will take different kinds of mythology and compare them so that people can see the ones they know well, and find the similarities to the ones they may not know as well. Like Greek mythology (well-known: thanks Rick Riordan) versus Irish mythology (Lugh? Who's Lugh?). My point is made. I'm excited about this project! The tables are going to be a pain, but I will push through it, link a bunch of pages together, and pull through it!

LET'S DO THIS, WORLD!!!
