France!
I'm going to France with school on Monday and I can't wait. It's my first time in another country, so I'm also a bit apprehensive. I'm having to do loads of packing but I'm going to have everything I need. I'm going to Normandy, and I'll be staying in the Chateau Du Molay. I'll be seeing the Bayeux tapestry and we'll be going to a biscuit and goat cheese factory. I'll need to brush up on my French then. Au revoir!

RuneScape
Hello again blog readers.
There's this game called RuneScape that I'm really into right now. It's this 'Run - around - fighting - or - doing - quests' kind of game. I even drew a picture of what I (hope) to look like!!!! My online name is ALWAYS Etak1996 in online games unless that's already taken (hence I'm called Etak1996, duh). I usually go on server 52 so be sure to look out for me!

Panfu (hahahahaha)
Now you'll probably be thinking thinking 'hey, what is this dork going on about? ' and I'll tell you what it is. It's the worst internet game ever, and a total copier of Club Penguin, mentioned in earlier posts. I'll start off with a few screen shots.
(From top: interface and chat bar, player card, games, POH (player-owned houses to you non-computer-freaks) and catalogues.)
So as you can see these pictures are very similar. They are quite small, so remember to click them (I say it every time because people always ignore me and probably won't bother to read this anyway so a very big thank you to those of you who do. At least SOME people still know I exist) I even sent an e-mail to Club Penguin Support to tell them about this site. They are aware of the problem and having it dealt with. I suppose with Disney on their side, Club Penguin can do anything. When I first heard 'Panfu' I thought is was a Kung-Fu Panda fan site. Haha.
The funny thing is, when you type 'Club Penguin' into Panfu's chat, you get one of those 'Golly gosh you naughty child' warnings that make me want to start banging my head on the keyboard.

Well THAT was a disaster
OK. Saturday was the day... the day of our school fair... the day I ran a stall... the day that was a disaster ( *insert evil laugh here*)
Ok, so, I arrived and everything was hunky-dory. The person supplying the safe (our stall was 'Crack the safe') was a few minutes later than we arranged but oh well. He lost the instructions to the safe so he had to tell us everything himself. Soon someone from the other stalls came along to crack the safe and he did it on his first attempt because he knew the code from when the safe was brought into school. Lisa wasn't very happy because he won a really cute toy that she had brought as a prize. So me and my friend had the 1st break (we had half hour shifts because I wanted to see the gymnastics display, tee hee) my friend DEMANDED on doing apple bobbing, so I went on ahead to the jewellery stand and bought a cool ring (it's a pink butterfly with little gems, it's cute) I then went on ahead to see my friend's stalls. It was soon time to swap over, so me and my friend did the shift, which was ok. When it was our break again we dashed outside, grabbed an ice cream and watched the gymnastics (very good, both the display and the weather!) We went inside and I went to my friend's 'decorate a cake' stall. I made a cake for me and did a biscuit for my friends. I went back to the stall, where Richard was waiting for me. He wanted to go home early so he left the safe with us. Only he didn't leave it with US. As far as I was concerned, from then on out there was only a ME!
And so the rant begins. You may find that the caps lock gets a bit... 'over-used' in this paragraph. Be warned.
I was left on my own for LITERALLY 15 MINUTES AND HAD LOADS OF PEOPLE COME TO THE STALL. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE QUEUE!!!!!!!!!! Of course, there was only one safe and each person had 2 goes. So it took a while. AND IT TOOK EVEN LONGER WHEN THE SAFES ALARM WENT OFF AND IT STOPPED WORKING AND NO ONE HAD TOLD ME THE FLIPPING COMBINATION. I lost loads of customers! My Dad arrived and he tried to help open it (which he did, eventually. Well done John.) Then my friends came and didn't realize JUST HOW STRESSFUL THE WHOLE THING HAD BEEN. We had to shut down early and I went away with a stinking headache. I won't be doing a stall again.

BannedStory
I've found a character simulator called BannedStory, and it's based on the game MapleStory. You can find it at http://www.maplesim.com/app/index.html It's quite complicated, but fiddle around a bit and you'll soon get the hang of it. Here are some quick pointers:
1. You'll need layers. If you want to create a character/mob/effect/pet/chat bubble, you'll need a layer. If you don't have a layer, you can't add anything.
2. To remove objects or clothing, click the tiny plus sign by the side of the character you want to delete the object from. It will make a list of all the objects; find the unwanted piece and click the little dustbin and it will go.
3. You can also animate your picture. Click the little blueish window (above the plus sign) and you will get a drop-down list of all the pose options. Pick which one you want, and then select 'animate character' and, hey presto, your character is animated.
Here are some examples of my work on the simulator (Remember: to enlarge the images, simply click them.)
