Did you include any specific examples of what you've coded in Torquescript, either as programs or videos (I'm assuming you mean you've done Blockland Add-Ons) or any models that you've previously done?
I'd be interested to see what it was that you showed them.

I got to start leaving school for lunch a year ago and I'm 12 B)

Crazy. How do they know that you will retuuurn?!
If my schools allowed that, I swear, half the school would just magically disappear at lunch.

Just gonna bump this up from a few pages back.
Would like to see one billion games.

Added Speed Freaks (Known as Speed Punks outside of Europe), one of my favourite PlayStation 2 games and favourite mario-kart style racing games.
Probably really really rubbish now, but I enjoyed it as a child. Was rather good at it.

Edit:

Oh god lol. I was waiting to see something stupid, just look at 197.

Yeah, 197 might want to be removed.
Link to Meatspin isn't exactly necesarry. :/

Nickelbob, I didnt want to do this but,  --- . This is how youtube comics work.

This better not count as research.

I, what, how... I don't... what?
I don't know what was worse... What it was trying to show me... Or the fact that I just watched a comic as a video on YouTube...

are you saying before you weren't allowed out of the school grounds for lunch?

Depends on the school's policy.
I'm never sure on the American system of schools, such as what ages are in what schools, but for me, I was never allowed to leave school grounds for lunch while in school for compulsary education.

For Infant/Junior/Primary School, Years 1-6 including Reception, ages 5-9, I obviously couldn't leave school grounds.
In Secondary school, years 7-11, ages 10-16, I wasn't allowed to leave school grounds either and people were often punished for attempting to do so.
After Year 11, at the age of 15 (Year 11 covers people aged 15-16), I left compulsary education.
I now go to College (Also called Sixth Form, generally if it's also past of a Secondary School) and can be here generally from ages 16-19, although education here exists after 19, but you pay personally for all your courses.
And only now that I am 16 and at College can I leave the school grounds for lunch, but of course, I only do that if I have time to do so. Town is a little bit of a walk from college, so, not always lots of time. Nearby supermarket, though.


What I mean to say is, I don't know how old Boomerangdog is or what sort of school he goes to, but if it's at all like my compulsary ones, then they don't like to let you go off campus, because they're reliable for you and if you disappear and get hurt, it's there fault for not looking after you.

Using a Nintendo 3DS stylus makes this fairly easy, if just a little bit slow. Plus, no shift only Caps Lock and the round spacebar is a little bit awkward to use. Oh well.

You need to be more forthcoming with your feelings to her.
Flirting with her is alright, but it's not always enough, especially if you're too subtle with it.
You can often just come off as just being friendly.

It takes some guts, which is why it's good that you're thinking of asking her out, but you should definitely make stronger attempt than flirting to actually let her know what you think of her too.


And about the depression, you just need to pick up some confidence.
And if you can't do that in time, then just do the blind-luck of asking her out.
If she says yes, you'll be pretty damn confident and a lot less depressed then.
And if your depression is caused by the fact that you're not getting much back in the way of feelings, then think of your feelings for her differently.
While I'm sure that you do really like her, don't tell yourself that it's love just yet.
Love isn't worth it if it's one-way.
You do care for her, and you'd be ecstatic if you could be together, but just know that you'll be able to get on if she doesn't share feelings for you. You will definitely find other people whom you enjoy just as much as her, and knowing that if it doesn't go perfectly according to plan that you'll still be fine, you won't feel so crushed if it happens.

You don't want to put all your emotions into a person before there's any sign that they might be returned.

Put a plastic flower in there also for her to keep as a memory of that night

This is a good idea.

Also of note, going with the idea of gifts, don't shower her in loads of things and don't dedicate all your money to her.
A lot of people do that, and it's not fair on you yourself.
Give gifts, but don't give away everything.

iirc open-book means that you can use the lesson book or something
basically meaning you don't have to memorize everything because you'll have a book about it all

So, it's not really a test if you're copying out of your book or directly from notes then.
It's just... answering questions via making more notes.

The only time I've ever done a test "open-book", was when doing some mock exam-questions with my notes for practice for an actual examination.

As TheArmyGuy said, a test that's open-book doesn't sound like it's for intelligent people at all.
It's almost as if you're not clever enough to actually properly learn something in the first place.

'Heh'*

No, he first put "haha", then changed it to 'heh', because people found 'haha' to be too offensive.

practise is legit, it's british

Practice and Practise are two different words.
Pracice being the noun, practise or practising being the verb, I think.

Unfortunately, this description of the most handicapped troll on YouTube covers almost all trolls and idiots on YouTube, which there happens to be a very large amount of.

It is headphones or earbuds, with an MP3, and read my last comment.

I don't understand what open-book and open-note means.
And surely, even if you're not given a study guide, you still know what the test is on?
So then you can study by yourself?
And then record your own notes and answers and use those in the test?

Congratulations.

The thing about listening to music during tests doesn't make sense to me, though.
Is that listening to music as in, they let the teacher or what have you put a music CD on, or are you allowed to listen to MP3's?
Because it sounds ridiculously easy to put a recording of answers and things to remember on an MP3 player and listen to that during the test.

Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.

-snip-
couldn't you just record the answers and play that in the test?

Damn it! >:c
