It's spring break for me. That's supposed to be a good thing. Pff, yeah, whatever. It was like 90 degrees outside on Monday. Too hot. Then it was constantly raining for the last few days, including today. So I can't really go outside. I've been sitting here at the computer for 4 days straight. I should be happy, lol. I have gotten a lot of work done with the TR level editor. But that's one of the two things I've been doing all week. I've had pizza for lunch each day this week because I'm to lazy to make anything else. Just pop it in the oven for 20 minutes and it's done. I can't even add up all the soda I've had...
I've also been doing Photoshop stuff. Here's something I made just for the heck of it:

If you ever had the chance to go to my website (which isn't there anymore:rolleyes: ) you may have seen something like this. This one's a bit different. I just felt like meshing a two different heads and two different bodies together.
Now, I can't believe I'm saying this and you'll probably never see me/hear me type this/say this ever again.
I want to go back to school!!

This is bad, this is really bad!

My dear Gandalf, you are running a fever! You are mumbling things that don't make any sense. You are in a bad shape!

We need a doctor! Over here please!

*mumbles in low voice*
What do you think is wrong with him doc? Is it serious?

I'm afraid he has a bad case of Schoolaritus.
It's serious.

The cure is to find him something fun and useful to do.

Yeah, or read a book, or take up knitting, or clean the gunge in the shower, or go for a walk in the rain, or ... (switching to mum mode) ... go buy some fresh fruit and vegies ... all that pizza will give you scurvy!!!:D

Ah, but we just remodeled the bathroom. No gunge in the shower now. It's clean and shiny.
I decided that now would be the best time to learn HTML. I've been holding off on it because I had to focus on school.

LoL, Polar Andromeda. :D

I've tried a couple of those such as telekinesis and it sounds ridiculous, but I have scared myself on purpose in a mirror. Hard to do, but I nearly got a heart attack. :eek:

I'll have to try a couple more of your ideas, Polar. :p

How about giggling uncontrollably about inside jokes? ;)

BTW: I advise no. 18 only be attempted by professionals like me, hehehe :p
