Yes indeedy...the main character in the game I've been working on is now capable of movement. He can move up, down, left, right, and diagonal when I press the directional keys on my computer. I was also able to put up colliders so that he doesn't walk through walls, or the shop counter ( Read more... )

Tomorrow, it will be a month to the day that I lost one of my best friends from high school. Not only high school, but the entire time I was in college, she was a close friend. She would hang out with me on my birthday, had many fun parties at her house, and I would come bug her at the stores she worked at ( Read more... )

I now work 12-hour shifts on a rotating schedule. The days I work, I come home and only have two hours to myself before I need to go to sleep. I don't want to do anything during that time but watch Netflix. I know I'm earning money, but the days feel like such a waste that way. I learn better when I study every day, but I'm too tired on the ( Read more... )

This picture was made by a fan of my "Ripples" series. Very well-done, and it totally made my day. :D

I was thinking back on the one original story that I wrote, which was a project that evolved since 2000, when I turned 17. As a result, the story continued to take place during that year. The main character talked to her friends online using a 56k modem, shopped at Ames and Caldor, and her friends made fun of Dawson's Creek. Sadly, the story was ( Read more... )

I'm considering getting my own Tumblr account so I can see how fandoms these days work. Gone are the fiction archives on personal websites...or rather, they're still around, but gathering dust. Frank Verderosa's page has been lovingly restored by fans and looks as good as new. I haven't checked out IcyBrian's page in years, nor "Aeris & ( Read more... )

Newgrounds is definitely a much better place to post my music than SoundCloud, though I'll continue to post my stuff on both websites. Giving myself a headache trying to write some lyrics to a rock tune I wrote with an ex-friend(in the remote chance that this song ever went viral, I WOULD pay that entitled brat his share of the royalties). I've ( Read more... )

It's a little too cold and windy, so I'm inside. I suppose I could go find a friend to spend time with, or something. I really wish the library was open longer on weekends. I think I'd prefer to study there. I've got another macroeconomics assignment due tonight. I hate classes where I suspect my grade is based on my political alignment. I'm ( Read more... )

The year of Back to the Future 2. Where the fuck are my self-lacing hi-tops?! Also, I don't think we're ever going to have flying cars. Even if we had the technology, people are too stupid to drive regular cars correctly. We would wipe out a good chunk of the population if we had a "skyway". Even then, I think only 10% of the population would ( Read more... )

I've been teaching myself HTML and C#. I'm back in school majoring in Information Technology so that I can be "that IT chick ( Read more... )
