Star Track REDO. So not happy about that!

So, I was assigned the Star Track thing again - well all of my classmates - since we didn't do as well as our teacher had hoped. Even the person who seemed totally on the right track was totally wrong! So, we were assigned it again. I HATE IT!!!! GOD!!!!! I started it already, like, Monday. But my aunt took it down some time ago, so I HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING!!!!! RAAAHHHH!!!! GRRRR!!!! GRAAAAHHH!!!!!!

Anyway, Santa Cruz Island is coming up this weekend, so I'll tell you all about my trip when I get back! :)

At Work: Promo for Addictinggames.com!

'Kay I'm at work right now, and I'm hanging out with one of my coworkers. We're playing games (we're not going to get in trouble or anything!) And we are playing some pretty awesome games from addictinggames.com! This is my review for the games that we are playing.

Not for the cat lover!
This game: Kitten Cannon, is a game that allows you to control a cannon (DUH) that is loaded with a...wait for it...(dramatic drums) KITTEN! Yes! A KITTEN! You load up a kittne, and you shoot the kitten as far as it will go. Along the grass surface is a bunch of objects (like a bomb, a venus flytrap, or spikes) that will either stop the kitten in its tracks, or send it flying again! http://www.addictinggames.com/kittencannon.html

A perpetual, easy game when bored
Cubefield is a game where you are looking into a screen and all cubes are 3D. You're supposed to avoid as many cubes as long as you can, (you are the little arrow at the center bottom of the screen) and get the highest score! Mine is 259,060 - try and beat that! http://www.addictinggames.com/cubefield.html

The World's Hardest Game! (it's actual name)
It has been dubbed the world's hardest game because it is hard! (At first.) You have to think your way through as you look at the screen showing your instructions and some of the most nigh impossible challenges for that game. The best tip ever: Take your time!!! Think through how you are going to go past that level! Remember, it is based on how less you die! Not how fast you can go through it!

The Daily Interesting Fact - 7/19/09

Thanks to my friend Colin, I am now interested in giving you all a useless yet interesting fact! I will start off with a predictable one. I will update it as soon as I am able to. I might add two or more facts each time :).

Daily Interesting Fact:

The average four year-old child asks over four hundred questions a day.

Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he declined.

My favorite autobiography author Frank McCourt dies!!! :(

My favorite author of one of my favorite autobiographies, Frank McCourt, died today in a hospital in New York. He died at 78 years old.

He had died from mesothelioma, and had been struck with the worst form of skin cancer - melanoma, and died in a Manhattan Med Hospital brother Malachy McCourt said. (Said in his autobiography, he also has other siblings but have died: twin brothers Oliver and Eugene McCourt, Michael McCourt, Alphie McCourt, and Malachy McCourt Jr. who remains alive.)

Frank McCourt's life was extremely hard on him. But his books, Angela's Ashes, and the sequel, 'Tis, made his life amusing and moody at the worst of times.

A famous excerpt will be well remembered from his book, "Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty, the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests, bullying schoolmasters, the English and all the terrible things they did to us for 800 long years."

McCourt will be cremated, Malachy Jr. McCourt said. A memorial service will be held in September.

"The smaller the mind, the greater the conceit." -Aesop

Take a look at the quote up there! --^ --^

I have a guy friend named, (changed name) Henry, (not a boyfriend) who happens to be too conceited! I just CANNOT STAND HIM ANYMORE. There is also another guy, named...(changed name) Jeff. Who is much like him in many ways. For example:

1) SHIRTS OFF!

Even at totally irrelevant places like a garden or museum, they can find some way of taking their shirts off.

2) Talk-back comments

They have wits, but sometimes it gets a little too out of hand...and come off as total turn-offs.

3)Confusion

Their talkativeness and their wits combine to make comments and statements towards you that leave you questioning many things on what they said.

4)Conceitedness

They think they have the greatest bodies in the world, the best athlete out of all of us, etc. etc. ETCETERA.

But.... Let me tell you something. I was on a hike today, and we (my whole coworkers and Henry - Jeff didn't go ) were on our way back. I lost my footing and was running down the horribly steep hill like crazy, screaming, "I can't stop! I can't stop! HOLY CRAP!" Henry came behind me, reached out his arm in an attempt to make sure that I didn't fall or hurt myself in any way.

I didn't know that he was behind me doing that, only assuming that he wanted to race or something. I came to a safe stop at a flat level of the trail. Henry came beside me. I was panting, and leaning over, hands on my knees. I didn't have the power to stop myself from running, and I was getting a headache from the pound of my feet.

Hours later at the work office, I was tired from the hike and lying down on the couch. (Changed name) Gina was still laughing from my almost fall, and Henry was on the computer. Gina asked Henry, "Why were you reaching out to Michelle when she was running?"

Henry replied, "I didn't want her to fall. I had my hand there just in case she fell."

To be honest, I really didn't believe him at first. I always thought he'd be the one to race and stuff and not really care. I guess I was wrong. :) I'm glad of that.
