Cheats do it for you, game guides just help. You still need to understand everything with a game guide, but with a cheat, everything is bambambam DONE! :ohno:

In other words...

 

POWER OVERWHELMING :devil:

 

Although playing with cheats in RTS games can actually still be quite challenging...

So we watched 'The Outsiders' in class today after reading the book. I'm suddenly understanding so many jokes now... :O

 

Anyway, I agree with what Divya said about game guides.

I love The Outsiders. It's probably my favourite common Grade 8 novel study book. I've been wanting to see the movie for a couple months now.

^ No, they make us read Shakespeare too. But it depends on the school. For example, in 7th grade for Drama class, I had to read, see, and perform Othello. In my older high school, I didn't read Shakespeare YET. Eventually we would, but I transferred.

In my high school we had a year of british literature and a year of american literature so yupper roo did we read shakespear. I can't say that I am really a fan of it though.

Posted

I don't think many people here are huge fans either, lol. The only literature I remember reading at school that was definitely by an American was when we had to read 'The Glass Menagerie' by Tennessee Williams. I always found reading plays really boring though, they're meant to be acted & seen not just read out of a book. Humho.

I like your Scorchio drawing, did you do it yourself?

Do they make you read Shakespeare in school over in America or is that just an English thing?

 

My class spent a section of the year in 7th grade English on Shakespeare. Then my Honors English class freshman year of HS did work with Romeo and Juliet. Neither was all that extensive.

Ooh, the Outsiders! Good book. I didn't like the movie so much, but the book was great. I almost cried for Johnny.

 

We've done some study on Shakespeare. It's almost always a small part of our high school English classes, and some classes go much more in depth. About it. I'm not the greatest fan of Shakespeare and his lewd jokes, but eh. It's an interesting study, I suppose.

Posted

I don't know if it was the wording being difficult to read, or the subject matter, I never could get into Shakespeare.

 

The Outsiders sounds familiar, but I can't place it. I don't think I read it.

 

Psst. Happy Birthday TDNTwin, Livvy! :king:

Well it isn't easy to read, and the stories aren't exactly the most coherent or logical plots either, so it's difficult for me to stay interested. I could just blame that on ADHD though. :whistle:

 

I don't remember the entire plotline, but I remember enjoying it. It was a very good read. =]

 

And thank you TDNTwin Spritzie! :D I'm 18 today!

Posted

I'll have to look into it. I need to figure out why it sounds so familiar as well.

 

Yay! :D That's always a fun one. Any special plans for today?

Posted

Not at the moment. It's a half day at school though, so I may see if I can round up a few of my friends and hang out somewhere. I haven't had any serious birthday celebrations in several years. But it's so close after Christmas, I really don't mind. It would be weird getting presents twice so close together.

 

I used to always want to have a swim party for my birthday, but you can't have a swim party in the middle of January. :laughingsmiley:

Posted

At least you have a half school day. I hope you get to go do something.

 

My cousin's birthday is the day after Christmas. (And trust me, she hasn't suffered at all.) It was funny, because her family got her a "Baby's First Christmas 1991" ornament. Then she was born the day after. So her first Christmas was actually in 1992. :laughingsmiley:

Posted

Hahaha, that is amusing. Did they keep the ornament anyway? :laughingsmiley:

 

I do too. But at my age *pulls out rocker* a nap is a good enough birthday present for me. *knits*

Posted

:laughingsmiley: Yeah they did. It was on their Christmas tree both years I was down there. I laughed every time they put it up.

 

That does sound nice. *pulls a rocker up beside you* Picking the right color of yarn is tiring. :sleeping_02:

Posted

Haha, that's great. I hope your cousin appreciate the humour of her ill timing. :P

 

Thank you Wemb! *hangs needlepoint on wall* It's lovely.

 

Ooh, speaking of colourful yarn, I have this GORGEOUS yarn that fades between purple and turquoise and shades in between. Those are my two favourite colours, so I absolutely LOVE the yarn. I just need to get my Knit Knerd friend to do something with it.

Posted

Speaking of Christmas trees, ours is coming down today. I just took all the ornaments off sadly :sad02:

 

I don't actually know now to knit yet. That is on my list of things to do before I die.

Posted

She does. We were snickering when we put it up.

 

My mom helped a friend of hers pick out a yarn for me. (She wanted to make me a scarf.) It was a hot pink yarn, with rainbow colored spots through-out it. It made such a gorgeous scarf. I loved wearing it with my black wool coat.

 

We didn't get our Christmas tree up this year.

Posted

Aww, that's always kind of sad. But just think of all the fun you'll have putting them back on next year!

We can't have a real tree. Mum's got allergies, and the cats would totally destroy any branches they could reach. So we have this cute little fiber-optic tree that changes colours. (The branches and leaves stay the same colour, but the little spurts of colour and the ornaments change.)

 

EDIT: I'm not a big fan of hot pink (I was always dressed in it as a child), but the rainbow spots sound cool. And I bet it looked great against the black.

Posted

Our tree is a pre-lit one. It's actually white, with rainbow colored lights. :D It's really pretty.

 

It depends for me. I don't like huge amounts of hot pink, but the scarf was just right. Especially with the black.
