Eh, screw it. Jan 7, 2013
imageI was hoping there was a way to delete accounts so you could make a new one without getting all rednosed and shit, but then I realized "Why do I need a new account? It was annoying getting this far as it is."

So screw it, I'm back.  Even if I want a new username, I'm back.

It's been 2 years since my last blog post or some shit, maybe one Idk.  Who cares.  Point is I'm a lot different than when I first started here.  I guess maturation tends to happen after a while, I dunno.

Why am I back on here? Well, same as usual.  I was bored.
So I guess some things don't change.  Whatever.

Let's see who's joined this site, and who has left, since I was gone, shall we?

International Big Brother S1 Nov 20, 2011
imageSo I'm playing this group game I was invited to... and apparently we failed our first task that I didn't even know about, since we only had 44 posts day 1...

But Day 2's challenge was to make a new logo.  We had to, as a team, use the flags from the countries all the contestants lived in (12 by my count, with 20 players).  If even a single flag is missing we fail it and 4 nominees will go up, resulting in a double eviction.

Btw, this is the group link: http://www.tengaged.com/group/2782

Anyway, I thought that the others would be able to handle it, since there are 20 of us, so I went off and did my own thing because, you know, I don't want to sit in front of my computer for 12 hours, which is how long this challenge lasts.

So I come back in at 9 hours elapsed, and... other than compile a list of countries with the people's names by it (that was pretty much ALREADY assembled on the group's front page), no work at all had been done.  So, I ended up having to do a rush job using GIMP and Paint.net.  It's not a perfect logo, and a little boring maybe, but it has all the flags on there.  And it is technically a logo.  So if they complain, it's not my fault, since they were given ample time to complete a logo of their own.

My hands are now clean.

P.S. the image for this blog post is the logo for the challenge.  Jsyk.

Anyway, /rant, whatever.

How is it... Nov 15, 2011
imageThat I can't seem to write the last 2000 words I need to do for today in my novel, yet when it comes to blog material I've already passed that wordcount?

FML.

Oh btw, just sniped another key that had been up for 2 minutes in my Castings game.
That's how slow it is.

NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul Nov 15, 2011
image'Whats Nanowrimo?
Sent by black0ut247,Nov 15, 2011'

Well, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in a month's time.  There's no real prize other than a written book, of course, but it's fun for us people who have time to waste on such an endeavor.  It really doesn't take a whole lot of time out of your day if you plan it correctly, but if you're like me you tend to procrastinate, and procrastinate often.  So I'm way behind on my total wordcount.

See this blog for more details about that, of course: http://www.tengaged.com/blog/GarretStryker/2159810/writers-block

Anyway, yeah, I'm doing NaNoWriMo.  It's apparently an annual thing that I only found out about this September.

Here's the site if yer interested in it: http://www.nanowrimo.org/

Also, my current castings is so inactive.  I hate it.
