16 bit twist on a classic...

as you can see my arms still a little damaged from the fire, but otherwise life is good. still makin the ends meet, still rockin a drop dead gorgeous fianc�e... Life may knock ya down but the darkest night brings a brighter yadda yada... how ya been AGN?

Been better, honestly lol. But I'm not dead, my kid is healthy and my boyfriend and his kid are good sooooo... yeah, could be worse.

Using those beads for pixel art is fun. I've still got a big jar of like 10,000 beads. It came with 0 useful colors 😞

Lol that's just how I started, but then I got wise, went on ebay, and ordered about 200k of them in presorted colors lol... the world of pixel art is now my oyster!

I'm good. I would have graduated college this May, but....eh.
Next May 😊
I'm doing lots of cool stuff compositionally and percussion wise, but mostly it's stuff that you guys most likely aren't too interested in 😊

Eh... I had a tooth out on Thursday, and the right side of my mouth is still sore. This also brings headaches. I think I'm addicted to Ibuprufen as well, but whatever.

Otherwise, I'm stuck in a job that sucks, I have no money, I had to re-install Windows recently thanks to a f*ck-you virus, I have no energy to do things that I want to do (my writing, for example) and my life is generally a mess.

But enough about me, great to see that you're doing well!

First year of college ate up my life, and I won't lie, I migrated to NeoGAF for a lot of my forum-ing, but I decided to randomly stop by today, see how everyone was doing.

Holy crap, look who it is! And I know what you mean. I'm finishing up a robot project this quarter at Ohio State and it's been completely draining my life to a withered husk. Only 11 days until I'm done... Oh, I can just taste the honey now...

I've been there a couple of times. Most recently was when I was in boot camp and they thought it'd be a good idea to pull out my wisdom teeth. Luckily I only had 2 to pull. Ibuprofen was my friend as well. And then I started saving it for my knee when we ran. I had done something to it while there and the Ibuprofen kept the pain down to just above tolerable. Now it doesn't bother me.

Later I got to get a root canal. If you ever get a chance for one of those, pass on it. Most of the time, it wasn't that bad, but the times when I felt it through the novacaine, whoo... ouch.

Bet let me end on a more positve note, Don't forget to brush and floss kids!

Pineconn, what's your robot supposed to do?

I've been pretty good. Not really hanging out here, but I'm still kicking. :P Nice to still recognize some faces.

I just looked this up on Wikipedia. I will now have nightmares about this. I officially hate you.*

For the curious, I'm doing a lot better. The tooth (or lack thereof) is healing up, and I no longer have headaches all the time - just some of the time. Work still sucks, though. We're very short staffed, so I've been moved onto tills, which I hate with a passion, but I've learned that I won't be on tills forever, which isn't too bad.

My PC is actually pretty much OK - I didn't lose any data, just had to install Windows on top of the old version. Most of my games still work fine (probably becuase they all had No-CD cracks installed), so I just had to re-install the programs like Nero and Office. No biggie. Though I can no longer play SiN, thanks to the latest ATI Radeon drivers. I swear, they will NEVER get it right.

Finally, I'm putting on weight. Not much, but still.

Wow, you guys must get out late. My last exam was on May 13th. Is the robotics project for a class?
I've actually spent the last year doing undergrad research with my University's robotics department, and it really seems like what I want to go into as a career.

Long time no see.
I tend to find myself ducking in and out of here every few months (or even once a year) though lately I have been dropping a line or two a lot more often.
Same old, same old 'round here. Work a lot, play the games, you know the drill.
