I prefer kittens with fur.

I have a brown tabby and a black and white kitty. Awwwww.

Heavy water is actually a thing. Water with deuterium, which is a form of hydrogen with extra neutrons.

Apparently too much of it can kill you.

We got Internet in 1996, but I wasn't allowed to surf alone, only with my mom there. I looked up a few things about the C64, and some things for school, and that was about it for a few years.

Then in 2001 my overprotective parents allowed me to surf on my own (although I still had to use their computer, which was the only one hooked up to the Internet). I think the first thing I looked up was cheat codes for SimCity 3000. Then, from there I started reading other SimCity 3000 sites and articles, and then moved on to sites about other video games. Eventually I found "The Mushroom Kingdom", a site with a wealth of interesting information about Mario.

One day when I was browsing TMK I happened to see "Level editors" in their left pane, so I clicked on it. I had wanted to make my own Mario levels for quite some time. They had an ancient DOS-based editor (which was fine since we had Windows 98 at the time) called Mario Improvement, which I downloaded.

Then I found out what else I needed...an NES emulator (I found one called Nesticle) and a ROM (which was very hard to find in 2001, not like now). I tried to get the editor to work but it would just show random objects instead of actual levels. Apparently I had the wrong version of the ROM.

So I went around searching for any information at all about Mario level editing or NES emulation. I found a site with an interesting name, "Acmlm's ROM Hack Domain". I tried to pronounce "Acmlm" in my head and came up with something like "Ack-mulm", which is still how I pronounce the name. Anyway, Acmlm's site had a bunch of other modified Mario games (which I learned were called "hacks") in a weird format called IPS. I learned how to add the IPS files to a ROM and play them. In time, I found another editor (YY Mario Editor) that actually worked and started making my own Mario game by editing SMB1, creatively titled "SMB Edit" (and still unreleased to this day).

Later, when browsing a site for another game I liked (Sid Meier's Civilization) I happened upon a link to something called a "forum" or "message board". I had seen those links before on other sites but ignored them, figuring my parents would never let me use them, but on CivFanatics I started reading the posts. Then I went back to other sites like TMK, found their forums, and read their posts too. I thought it would be fun to be one of the people to actually post on there.

2001 made way for 2002, and I got around to begging my parents to let me sign up for message boards. They said it was OK but only if I got my own E-mail address. This was in the days before Gmail, so to get a new E-mail account you had to ask for it from your ISP. We went to their office and set one up for me, then I started using it to join boards, like the old Challenge Games board and TMK's Fungi Forums. A few weeks later, I revisited Acmlm's site and saw that he had a board too. I found a wealth of Mario hacking information there and eventually joined.

The rest is history.

German names, too. I used to think Euler was pronounced "yoo-ler". Correct pronounciation is "oy-lah".

I've cried for literally hours on end before. The tears just kept coming.

I imagine after a while I'd dehydrate and die or something.

I always said "minn-o-tore", which I think I got from King's Quest 6.

"Christmas isn't far off!" when it's December 26th :LOL:

Well, it isn't if time ever starts running backwards.

I hated that dialup sound. I wonder why it could never be turned off.

My guess is fat lesbians giving snarky self-referential answers to Family Feud questions.

*looks at title* Sounds fun to me ^_^

I never seem to find any lesbians IRL. I've met some gay men though.

So even though I should really go to bed early to be awake for school, I still stay up until 2 AM. Gywall (and Squiddy) are just too important to me.

You need to worry about me. What about Danika, Gywall, Nicole, Taryn, and whatever other people?

I'm not important to anyone. I'm just that annoying bitch who hangs around for no reason.

She's a bunny. When was the last time you saw a bunny that wasn't cute and fluffy? ^_~

Same as "tearin'", at least if you're from Michigan. East Coast people might differ.

*imagines an Internet class*

OK class, here's our spelling words.

Sux0rz. S-U-X-zero-R-Z.

OMG. O-M-G.

1337. 1-3-3-7.

Now, write a report on the history of LOLcats, at least 3 pages, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point, 1-inch margins. Due tomorrow.

I like the NSMB games. I don't get where all the hate comes from.

Yep. Normal amounts found in nature are harmless. But if too high a percentage of your body's water is heavy, apparently it causes problems.

Games for Xmas: Probably won't be getting anything. I don't really buy new games anymore...
