I Did Pretty Well On That Test

I definately without a doubt got a 3. (Top 50% of test which is good for some colleges). Although I think there is a chance I have gotten a four :D. (A 4 is the top 25% of people who took the test). So yeah the studying definately paid off and I'm confident about the grade. Although unfortunately I was still a bit busy this weekend and couldn't come on much. Went out with friends last night and I'm going out again tonight.

Point is I will be coming back and I did well on the test. I get the grades in late July. :P

I Always Seem to Have an Excuse

Well this time it's a noble one folks. :)

My activity will be low from now untill May 14th. Although to be honest my activity wasn't excellent at the moment to begin with. Regardless of that, on May 14th I'm taking my first AP (Advanced Placement) test ever. It's basically the hardest test I'll have taken up untill now in my life. For those of you who are younger, or live out of country where they probably have different testing and junk; it's an excellent opportunity to put something good on my resume for college. Just taking an AP class is considered good but getting a high score on these tests is outstanding for colleges.

I technically should have made this blog Sunday but alas I did not. I have begun and will continue to study more than I ever have for any test in my life ever. My hope is to get a 4 out of 5 on this. Again, for those not in the know, that wouldn't be an 80% it would mean I'm in the top 80% of students or something since the test score is based on your comparison to everyone else the same year. I don't one hundred percent understand it but what I do understand is that studying must be done. But yeah, I'll be busy.

Basically I'll stop by the CGU to make my chess moves and an occasional post but that's it. I've given up video games but I'll have a tad amount of time for the internet each day. On an unrelated note, I became a Radiant Silvergun (Level 29) out of the blue. I remember when I used to watch with such eagerness as the bar would creep along to a new level, now I leveled up without realizing it. And if anyone is wondering, I didn't vote for Gamespot in the Webby Awards and I didn't level up from points they were bribing away. :roll:

Skine is Back

For realsies. Not for fakesies.

Remind me to kill myself if I ever say that again. So why am I back yet again but this time for a more permanent stay? A variety of reasons. When I really come to think about it, it was here that my love of the internet and forums began. Sure I've expanded into several more things than forums on the internet but I've still stuck with them. I've gone to numerous forums in the past two years but the more notable ones are Gaia and RWP. I also frequent Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia (really :P ), Deviantart, and 4 chan.

Just kidding about that last one. :lol: EDIT: For a good twenty minutes it told me I had a curse word here and I couldn't find it. Apparently Gamespot considers 4 chan a curse word. It's sort of surprising yet in a way it doesn't surprise me at all. Oxymorons are cool but lame.

Anyway, I have no idea what came over me but I am just inspired to come back and truly stay. A large part of this drawback is the desire to come back to a union very important to me. Most of you reading should know that this Union is actually a Guild. Yes the Creator's Guild. This is sort of a shameless plug in because we are currently in the process of trying to expand and bring the Guild to new and unprecendented heights in user activity. I don't actually expect that link to help but it was already copied from an earlier post I was making so I figured why not.

See I think what I realized lately is that, sure all these other sites have active userbases but it was missing something. Still to this day the most fun I've ever had on forums was through the Creator's Guild back during its creation and prime year. That basically includes the Beginning untill the time Chet left. Kryptofreak helped fill the gap nicely but he left as well. :( But still Alex remains ever loyal to the Guild him and DG practicly had their own private chat forum going on with an occasional dose of abyssion and very occasionalme stopping by and being like "Hey what's up?" Well not anymore. I'm back.

My hope is that by restoring the Guild I can go back to those fun times with more than 3-6 active members. Back when Silly Space Story was a joyous romp of an rp and not two guys clinging onto the past. (That wasn't offensive at all :P ). I'm not sure exactly what has come over me. Perhaps I haven't had a good enough outlet for my creativity and now I'm primed and ready to become active on the Guild again. Even still my hope is to become more active all around. I don't go on Gaia much ever anymore and only RWP for their podcasts mostly.

I've been keeping busy other than those forums in the meantime though. In fact I've become a much more social person than I was two years ago. It's not like I was a loner or anything and I didn't purposely go out of my way to avoid new friends I just never went out of my way to make new friends. I have an interesting sort of balance in my life with my ex girlfriend who is also like my second best friend so that's pretty interesting. I probably shouldn't write about her in case she ever googles my aim screen name for some reason. By the way it's not Skine99 it's Skine909 and I'd love to be messaged by most of you. :) I'm on aim very often for the most part.

Anyway this is the first long blog I've done in probably two years so I'm very proud. Maybe I'll start blogging about things other than my life such as games, who really knows but I'm not promising anything. That's all for now!

No I'm Not Back, I'm Just Visiting

At least I don't think I'm back. Who knows. It used to be the Creator's Guild Union that would draw me here but in my honest opinion that place truly began it's decline with the leaving of Kryptofreak. Better known as Aeonis. Or is it the other way around? I dunno. Chet leaving didn't help either. Damn I have a mancrush for Chet still. :P He always said the best stuff at the right times. Anyway enough about the boring internet past. Time to fill you guys in. How long has it been since I've been here?

Too long. I don't think I came on once during the Winter Drama. It was a comedy called Just Another High School Play. I had my best role in a show ever. I was, I'd say, the third leading man. The audience ate out of my hands. It was a fun show. The musical is starting up now it's Sugar a musical version of the classic Some Like it Hot. I have one line but whatever it'll be fun all the same. My old English teacher is directing instead of the teacher that ussually directs it. The NEW director is so funny and has done a better job in one week than the other one did for two shows.

Not much has occured in my life. Game wise got Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 5, and Banjo Kazooie: NaB for Christmas. All of which are very good. Right now I'm looking forward to Lost and Damned DLC for GTA IV. It's out tommorow but I won't be able to get it untill next Monday. That's right, you guessed it, I'm in Florida! Well my parents fell asleep at 9:30 so I'm stuck in this hotel room and got bored and it led me here. Anyway I'm still alive. And now I've played Portal and I can say it with meaning.

Whatever happened to me exactly?

I feel like when I used to blog and talk and post on gamespot I had more meaning and interest. Now I'm such a noob. Like with blogs three sentences long. But it's as simple as the question in the title. Please answer it.

Summer Fun Ahoy!

Dear Various Friends From GS, Gaia, DA, RWP

I am going away on a cruise. I will be gone from 7/20 to 7/27. Unlike my other vacations where there is some internet access, I will have absolutely no access. Miss me, cry, party, mourn, celebrate, enjoy it, whatever. Just felt I should tell you. I have nothing more to say. So as usual a very short blog.

A message from your friendly neighborhood Skine.

My Quick E3 Impressions

-Wii Music looks like Nintendo has started appealing to more than just non gamers but mentally challenged children.

-Wii Motion Plus is complete bull. That sort of technology should have been in the remote to begin with.

-WiiSpeak is excellent (hopefully) Thank God Nintendo.

-AC: City Folk looked real cool at first but now after reading previews it appears the city is real small and there's very little new. I hope that isn't the case of the final game.

-Resident Evil I'm trying to not get too hyped out because thatMarch date is far away. Still it looked cool.

-Not too interested in Fable.

-Fallout 3. The technological feats of oblivion combined with a cooler and more fun imo setting. Definately getting.

-I didnt even see much on Call of Duty... Looks like it might be promising though.

-Xbox360 system update is good and bad. I will still use gamerpics instead of those avatars although the game shows look fun. The party system is an excellent idea and was needed. NBC and Netflix is also good. The overall look and feel of it is off though. I'll miss the blades.

-Portal: Still Alive. :D

-Gears of War 2 was best in show. I absolutely cannot wait till November 7th.

OHH IM ACTUALLY GETTING GTA IV!!!!! :o

A friend of mine is gonna have their older sibling buy it for me. Im obviously paying I just need someone not a minor to get it. OH MY GOD CANT WAIT!

I'll obviously have to hide it from parents and only play it when I absolutely no they arent home but still I'm very excited. /I was expecting IGN to give it like a 9.8 but it got a 10 :shock:

Definately if you have xbox live add me because the multiplayer looks amazing even a free mode allowing you to do anything you want but with other people!!!

I SOUND LIKE A WHINY FAN GIRL BUT I DONT CARE :D
