2007-11-05 – IT'S FREE ROLEX DAY IN THE LUNCH ROOM
Another boring and unproductive weekend transitions into another boring and unproductive week. I've had thoughts of purchasing glockgroup.org and reviving the Glock Group animation team, but unlike the other failed revivals, I'll make sure it's done right. I have come to the conclusion that school takes up eleven hours of my twenty-four hour day; It begins at 6:00, when I wake up, and ends with getting home at 4:00 due to riding on a latebus which doesn't get here until 3:30. 6 AM – 4 PM. That's as ridiculous as I am.

2007-11-06 – WITTY TITLE III: RETURN OF THE ASCII
Still I continue to fabricate layouts for Impure Creation. I have decided that instead of coding a CMS, I'll use a php-coded blog system that utilizes categories. Image galleries aside, this accomplishes the same thing as ImpureCMS would. A dog by the name of Dixie has recently been abandoned, nobody wants her, and every shelter is full, meaning that she is under my Aunt's care until a solution can be found. She has commented that she got used to not having a dog, and having Dixie around is like having a baby around. Work continues on Chapter 1 of Lamented Land.

2007-11-07 – THIS IS A 4 STRENGTH 4 STAM JOURNAL ENTRY
I have thought of a new name for the company which will produce the game series, should I ever decide to create it. I have also drawn up some website layouts for the company and the website of the game series. VideoCompiler has a new Ventrilo Harassment video up entitled "Peggy Forever" in which uses the audio of one of his first victims and plays the clips to another vent server. It's pretty hilarious. To be honest, I've considered starting a website named VenTrolls just to have a collective website for the posting of funnies.

2999-11-08 – WELCOME TO THE FUTURE. WE'VE GOT HATS.
I finished an intro for the Socom Squad's Last Stand last night. It's been decided that the Socom Squad might become a trolling group as opposed to the flash group it already is. If this happens, I'll either delete all coauthors on the SocomSquad account and get the name changed, or leave it up as a sad but true reminder of what once was. I have abandoned the Book Of Bad Ideas after over five months of use (5/29/2007 - 11/07/2007). It now resides among some of my older school memories, mainly my notes from Physical Science in 9th grade.

2007-11-09 – OH, SO NOW IT'S FRIDAY?! GET BACK HERE!
So little to do, so much time. I really ought to compile a list of the domain names I would like to purchase. Perhaps creating mock-ups of the layouts I draw would help with Impure Creation. Pegi and I had an in-depth discussion about Josiah and Dixie last night. Personally, I think he's losing it. He may or may not have a superiority complex, but if he does, that explains his desire to keep Dixie, since his wife doesn't like small dogs. It's an "In your face" type of thing, if anything. However, Dixie and Pegi are starting to bond, so he'd better resolve the situation, and fast. People are strange.

2007-11-12 – IT IS WAAAY TOO EARLY TO BE AWAKE RIGHT NOW
If Veteran's day is observed on this day, why are we in school? First, people refuse to stand during the daily moment of silence, and now this. My dad used to be [DATA EXPUNGED]. I don't know the specifics of it, but that's what he has told me about it.
On an unrelated note, I could look like I just got out of bed even at 6 PM. Like, I could be enjoying some soup, watching the TV, and some guy would come by and ask, Did you just wake up? To which I'd respond, How did you get in my house?

2996-11-13 – THE STUPID NUBMER JETS ARE STIOO SMALL
I NEED A BIGGER KEYBOARD FOR MY FAT HANDS TO WORK WITH
There's nothing to write about, other than it hurts to swallow, and I think I've caught whatever my first period teacher has. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY TEACHERS DO NOT COME TO SCHOOL WHILE SICK; MY IMMNUNE SYSTEM MIGHT NOT BE CAPABLE OF FIGHTING IT OFF IF IT WAS ABLE TO INFECT SOMEONE OF YOUR AGE.

2007-11-14 – FUNDRAISER? MORE LIKE FUSSRAISER
I am now doing an in-depth review of my existing and future domain names while attempting to find a better hosting company. I submitted a new animation, [SS] Repetition, to Newgrounds last night. I'm still sick, but those peppermints that our English teacher passed out seem to help.

2007-11-15 – MY BLOOD CELLS ARE ON STRIKE
A recent activity spark may just save the Socom Squad. It is by far one of the best groups I've been in and contains some of the coolest people I know. The whatever it is has gotten better, leading me to believe it may have been caused due to a deficiency of Vitamin C, in that I don't drink Orange Juice that often. I have drawn website layouts for impurecreation.com and gugisback.com, both of which really need to get finished so I can make something out of them.

2007-11-16 -
I have purchased the Orange Box package from Valve Corporation, which will hopefully be finished downloading by the time I get home so I can play Portal until Episode 2 finishes. The trailers and gameplay demos for both games looked quite interesting, and I am eager to see the next chapter in the saga of Gordon Freeman. The package also comes with Team Fortress 2, which I will not be downloading because the cartoony style of the graphics looks terrible with the high-polygon capability of the engine (seriously, leave cartoony games where they belong: on the N64 and PS1). That aside, I am running out of disk space, and have removed all other deathmatch-type games from my computer.

2007-11-19 – REMIND ME WHY WE BOTHERED SHOWING UP AGAIN?
Portal and Episode 2 finished downloading and I was able to complete both games. Episode 2 was interesting and action-packed, but I think I liked the mysterious Portal better. This may or may not be due to the presence of the Weighted Companion Cube, which the internet is currently going nuts over. The Socom Squad is going through another revival phase, and Kazakh day is on Thanksgiving. I look forward to it with semi-eager anticipation.

2007-11-20 – Absent due to orthodontist appt.

2007-11-26 – SOCIAL CORROBORATION MOVEMENT
The week off was mainly uneventful, but I managed to create an Aperture Science intro for the Socom Squad, restructure the cast of my story, and I also did some minor documentation of the game series, which I am terrible at doing. I have also been on the hunt for good third-party Portal maps. The two largest sites in that regard are myaperturelabs.com and thinkingwithportals.com. I got zero sleep last night. Am I the only one who finds it odd that the only station that plays classical music is 88.7 Houston Public Radio?

2007-11-27 – NUTMEG POWDER
I have absolutely nothing to write about. One of the Portal mods, Sidewinder, was updated recently. There were a few noticeable improvements. I have also taken a look at the Hammer Editor used to produce these maps, and it seems to be a difficult-to-understand piece of software.

2007-11-28 – BRB, RIOT SQUAD
I downloaded many new Portal mods last night from portalmaps.com, and lost track of time so badly that it was 8:30 by the time I was done with them all. It seems that no matter what time I go to bed, I am always tired in the morning. I am developing the storyline for a Portal mod of my own. The Socom Squad hasn’t been as active recently as it was a week ago, and I still don’t have a layout for Impure Creation. I have some pre-created layouts, but I don’t want to use one; I want Impure Creation to be all me, but so far, the only things that have graced index.html are flash animations.

2008u-11-29 - WHAT THE HECK IS A "2008u?"
Again time continues to flee from my presence. I would really have liked to gotten some work done on my story, game series, or Portal mod, but that little fairy named Time keeps taunting me by making it late in the night before I can actually do anything. Getting home at 4 PM doesn’t help either. As I said in my thanksgiving presentation, I like riding the bus, but the 30 minute wait for it is mind-numbingly boring.

2007-11-30 – WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT...
...OTHER THAN TO CAKE MY SHOES WITH MUD?! And grass is flammable. Someone mind telling me who thought waiting on that stuff was a good idea? Another thing, why is it always first or seventh period? I am looking forward to the early dismissal. Time got away from me again last night, but I managed to do some editing of the Socom Squad article on Wikigrounds.
