So...

      First off, a question:  Do any of you passively or actively use only part of what you know so that you don't seem as bright, so people will say more (seeing as people may leak more of what they mean if they don't think you'll figure it out)?  I'm pretty sure I do that passively.  Why do I ask this?  Well...I have reason to believe that I may have been lied to.  Part of a conversation I had a school (unfortunately, I only remember what the one person said because, well...you'll see, it'll just be the one person, and no, I didn't do anything to influence it, she said it on her own accord (she also brought up the topic herself)) was after Athena (who still manages to be my friend (and I only consider her a friend just by a single thread)) might as well have said, and this close to word for word, that she doesn't have feelings for me anymore.  As I said, I may, or you know what?  I might as well just say did, lie to me.  Good thing I had done some thinking that day.  Thinking on the kind of person I want to be with me, and I had increased my standards.

      I added this not to try making Athena out to be a liar, but just to show what has been going on in my life.  I figure that you need to find out someone for yourself.

      In other news, I've been programming a game for sometime now on Petit Computer (a DSI/3DS app).  It's a dungeon game (I used the sample game and went from there).  originally, there was just weapons, items, and monsters.  Now, there are four different classes, stats, armor, new weapons, spells, another floor, and a level up system.  I'm currently working on making the stats actually affect game play, such as making Strength go into your total damage and forcing locks open, Intelligence to increase magic potency and chance of magically opening a lock, Dexterity a chance to critically hit your opponent, dodge, and lock pick chests.  I've found that programming is a really fun thing to do, because not only do you get to test out your game, but it's like trying to solve a puzzle.

      I'm actually using the game as a test for another project I have yet to work on.  Also, I've been working on making videos of games I've been playing.  I've been trying to do this for awhile, before I started this blog.  So for all those who would like to watch my face be ripped off in Dark Souls (not literally, you die a LOT in that game), or would like to watch...whatever I decide to put it up, I am TheDarkLordFluffy42.  I doubt that many care, but I can't do minecraft, because it dramatically slows down the FPS, and just doesn't work.  Here is my current list of games I may record (assuming they work):  Dark Souls, Starcraft II, Ace of Spades, DOTA 2, Sanctum 1 and 2, Terraria, Quake II with both Mission packs, Quake IV, Unreal Tournament, UT3.  I am doing this purely for fun.  If you'd like to see a specific one, let me know.

     Depending on the game, I may cut out parts so its not dull and boring.  For example, when I'm building my economy for Starcraft II.  In the case of a game like Unreal Tournament, you will watch me be blown to bits, my head could be shot off, and other painful deaths.  Ace of Spades is just as fun, but not so bloody.

      Whichever game I pick, it will be for the month, and I'll try to have them ready.  I will be recording on Saturdays and try to post them some time before the next Saturday.

Update:  More like, I'm not sure if she did or not.

With Trivial things out of the way...

      I don't know how many people actually liked the last one, but if you didn't I can see why.  I just needed to get that out of my mind.

      I am doing much better now, other than my grades which I am working on getting back up.  The reason, My grades are related directly to my time on the computer and consoles (unless that tv is used little).  All A's: I get 3 hours and an extra privilege (I have yet to reach that).  All A's and B's:  3 hours.  Any C's: 2 hours.  One D: 1 hour.  2 or more D's or an F.  Zero.  I have one D+ which should be fixed by today.

      But I guess that is trivial too.  Being a guy, I don't feel as if there is much that goes on worth noting in my life, but I guess there are some.  My two brother's, my step-dad, and I watched how to play SSBB like a man, and it was hilarious.  It actually made the whole game a lot more fun.  Except rule 12: No Marth.  I don't like that rule.  He's my best character, and no, I am not unstoppable with him.  Though I'm pretty good one-on-one with him now, after watching a video on how to play him.
      We us Final Destination as the map with 3-5 minutes, and then it's a 4 player free-for-all.  It is chaos.  And hilarious when you try to kill a falling person and kill yourself in the process.  Which is why it is more fun.  The difference is, we aren't playing to win.  We're playing to be manly (and I use the least manly character according to whoever made the video T.T (The sandbag, a bob-omb, and a toad were higher than he was!))  But still, it was fun.

      Last night, the temperature dropped to about 4 degrees Fahrenheit.  Now, our house has a bad time trying to keep heat inside.  As a result, although the upper portion of the house is usually warm, the basement is cold.  Although it is really nice in the summer.  Then the downstairs if for if you want it to be cooler.  This ties into it, but I have a hard time trying to sleep upstairs, because of the sounds and the lights.  But I have enough covers on my bed (two quilts) so I was just fine.  But still, 4 degrees!

      Again, I apologize if The last one was more annoying than anything, but I needed it off my mind.  It actually is off my mind for most to all of the day now.

...I can now focus on what is important.

Oww. Right in feelings.

      That last was long over due.  The last bit of information on it was from the fourth, but I have not had time to finish it.  From there to now, things have gotten worse...

      Athena was being annoyed with people constantly obsessing with our relationship (note that we live in a small town, and there isn't much to do here.).  I decided to try and stop it, and being the nice guy I am, I thought of something that would work for most people: ask them nicely to stop.  I got this idea when I asked a few guys in choir to, and they stopped.  It soon appeared that she wasn't annoyed, and, seeing that I wasn't hearing it with her around, and it didn't bother me (I learned how to stop listening to people if I need to, but it didn't bother me at all), so I figured everything was fine...and then, there was yesterday.

      First off, I need to start with the day before yesterday.  On that day, I was told by my sister, who was  told by her friend (and the reason I dismissed it) that Athena didn't like me any more, something like that.  That didn't prove to be true.  However, yesterday felt like I was shot with an arrow.  Athena comes up to me before school start and, without her reasoning just yet (it comes later) tells me that she needs to break up with me.  *Arrow pierces heart*  By the time that home room came, which is after second hour, she comes in because she had something to work on for English class.  My teacher needed to be more strict,  so the day before, she told us that we were to be quiet until the last five minutes out of twenty.  So I told her when she tried talking to me, said whatever, and then talked to her in the last five minutes, and got the reasoning for having to break up with me.  (these are not listed in most to least important)  1.  The students continuing to obsess over our relationship was driving her crazy,  2.  She also had other guys she liked and said it wouldn't be fair to me (understandable, and I forgot to mention that she also said she wasn't going to be dating until college) 3.  She didn't want the relationship ruined by High school.  It made the pain the less.  But only for a little while.  We're both still friends.

New Years Eve and the Snowball dance.

On New Years Eve, my step-dad, my older brother, my younger brother, and I played Magic the Gathering.  The younger left after the first game, which I believe my older brother won.  For something epic, I went 2 vs. 1 (me being the one) against a deck destroyer and a red deck (generally associated with spells that deal damage to target creature or player) using a deck that kills you with poison, which is faster then dealing damage.  I only barely won that one.  But if you don't know/like the game, then it was pretty boring.  We didn't do very much for New Years Eve.

On Saturday, however, there was the Snowball dance.  I went with Athena, and we had a lot of fun.  Except when some remixes came up that had a LOT of bass.  That gave me a headache.  Twice.

When we arrived at the dance, we were one of the first one's there, so we went and sat down at a table.  Once more people started coming, we noticed one thing:  almost everyone that was there was in choir, amounting to about 40-50 some people.  There were some who weren't, but almost everyone was.  We voted for the king and queen of the dance, and the guy I voted for was chosen, but not the girl (I don't think I could have voted for myself, and Athena wasn't on there so I picked someone else I knew).  In all, it was a lot of fun.
