I'm happy too! We were finished having lunch in the classroom when the funniest girl just laugh like an idiot. Everyone joined in to talk with her but I heard a sound coming from there....'Shut up you pervert!'
I thought they really mean it but there were just making jokes there.
Sometimes I like school but sometimes a don't like going to school.

Everything about today sucked. Not only am I sick (having to go to school nevertheless) but my knee broke when I fell today. But hey, I joined today, so that's good...

People on the IRC might have seen me complaining about some pain. Turns out that whatever was causing it made me undergo a surgery.

I might spend another day recovering at hospital, and a week at home. It wasn't a trivial procedure among its kin, but as of now, you haven't seen the last of me.

I'm kinda gonna vent right now. It's like 1:00AM and had 2 beers.

Spoiler: show
This last week has been fantastic. I've just moved into a student village with 10 other people on my floor + many more on the other floors. High school kinda traumatised me, part of it was that I didn't speak the language and part of it was that I was just really stupid and didn't get some common sense until college. By that time I became I real introvert, the only people I spoke to were 2 people from my high school and my childhood friend. However even then I felt that I wasn't fully trusting them. I always had that thing, where I felt underappreciated all the time, like I'm gonna be forgotten, never get a girlfriend etc. I kinda felt like that was the worst time of my life. I had some trouble from my dad as well, though it wasn't without reason. I never listened to what he was saying, even though it was for my own good. I was partially paralyzed of doing anything involving other people or outside world in general and partially lazy. This past summer felt really scary, since it was my first step into the adult life with really having no prior experience with it. I also started questioning everything I did, from the little things like talking to people to major decisions, like choosing my course. I felt really on edge, often repeatedly told myself that I should die (I never would have even tried it though, I knew better).

I've always thought that I was mature because I was 'better' than my peers. I always heard that they were "party hard" people, drinking and ♥♥♥♥ all the time. I was always the guy who did their work at school, always was studying etc. However where others from high school had to "mature" into responsible people, I had to mature into someone who has some fun every once in a while (I still have yet to mature into a "responsible peson" I think) and take life a little more relaxed. This one week was one of the best weeks in my life. I got to meet new people, totally different to me and while it's still scary and I don't think I connect to them fully, I think that I'm making progress. I did try some beer with them, something I don't usually do/did, but honestly it was a lot of fun just sitting with them and having fun, going out to pubs and stuff. I never thought that of all things beer would help me be more social and open to people.

I was always worried that when I'll drink I'll change. I will no longer be me, the guy who always studied, never partied and was a calm individual. This has shown me otherwise however. I did step a little out of my comfort zone. I know that I'm not drunk or whatever (my head's kinda spinning, but that's all), but I still am myself, not trying to be someone else to fit in, no matter what state I'm in. My mindset has changed from seeing everything and everyone as either objects or ♥♥♥♥.heads (as much as I'd deny it). This single week with those people has opened up the locks I had for all this time I feel.

Image

I've had so much fun drinking, going out, hanging out, singing, listening to 80s, 90s+ music and all the other fun ♥♥♥♥ I've been doing this week.

I've not started studying yet. I also don't feel like I'm ready for university, but I feel that even if it's gonna be hard I'll be able to somehow deal with it. I want this year to be the one that will help me change. I don't really want to be an introvert, in the outside world nor here. Even if I don't have too much in common with them I'll try my best to strike a balance between both. I know it's gonna be hard, but it will be worth it. I want to change something in me, the wall I had in my head for so long.

I really do not like talking about myself, I do not feel like that is a good thing to do when talking to people. However I cannot resonate with other people with their topics. All I can do is complain about myself since I never feel anything I have to say is interesting. That's the reason I've never really talked about myself here. The other reason is that I'm really not that knowledgable with the real world beyond my studies and games, be it news, TV, politics. Yeah, sure I got grades, but that won't help me in the real world.

I do not feel like the beer is talking through me, but it's helping me express myself. I may cringe at this in a few years, but ♥♥♥♥ it, this is one of the few times I've been true with myself here and in general.

I feel like I'm missing something, something I should say as well, but that's all I can come up with right now. Maybe the fact that it's been fun stumbling over words and letters writing this wall of text. Maybe the fact that the stress and lazyness prevented me from actually doing my duel with SM63Creator (I'm sorry, again!!) and be active on this site beyond offtopic, nevermind my real life responsibilities. Maybe the fact that I still feel that I should know more about life than I do (which amounts to nothing).

I guess I should finish this with saying that I'm happy after such a long time. I hope you all have a great day (or night) wherever you are, and I want you to know that everything will get better sooner or later.

Hello.

Just a short post, but I found a CD addressed to myself, because time capsules are cool. Anyway, I've mentioned finding similar things like this in chat once or twice in the past, but this time is special because CDs, has anyone actually used one since like, 2011? Point is that the thing was made July 27th 2001, which was like 14 years ago (for comparison, the oldest ones I've found up till now have been five years old, tops), and it's kinda mindblowing seeing what kind of crazy ♥♥♥♥ 8-year-old Ven was getting into.

The moral of the story is, buy a flash drive or something, and put a bunch of stuff in it. Pictures, writing, projects, whatever. Then forget all about it and stumble on it decades later and blow your own ♥♥♥♥ mind.

Cool stuff.

I, too, had an amazing day. I mostly listened to rock music and ate pizza today. Though I did have a headache.

Today I got my results back for the Dairy Judging contest I did. I don't think I mentioned it much, but no, it was not a competition where we judged milk. We judged cattle by their body frame including their udder, ribcage width, overall size, and the like. They send out 4 cows, and the official judge judges them and you judge them (so 4 cows so you'd place the cows best-worst in their class) Whoever got their judgings closest to the official judge gets the most points.

Anyways, I got first place in my school, and even better, first place for all of the schools competing. (Most of new england, so regional) Our school won by a landslide, but I'm really proud despite it only being dairy judging.

congratz :3

On Friday I've met something where the experiences on the site (ban and stuff) proved to be quite helpful - it was a post-exam review with a very strict mark key and a very strict correction method. I've tried to be diplomatic and avoid finger-pointing, yet still trying to suggest milder correction and getting more points - it was futile. Then I've just accepted that I couldn't improve my mark. Bummer but this was a good case where I DIDN'T cause a major conflict.

And on October 10th I was on a small Petanque Tournament. Got 4th place out of 11 with three wins and only one loss.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
