It's been too long
Er, sorry for taking forever to respond, but I've been insanely busy. I've been volunteering every Saturday, and I've had to do lots of projects, essays and presentations for school; we're into exams now, which means no homework, but tonnes of studying. I won't bore you with specifics about all my projects... though I know you'd like my art final: it's a dragon XD I've been spending all my little scraps of free time editing the Wiki so I don't get demoted for inactivity, but soon I'll be able to help out with the next big project I've set my sights on: deleting redundant templates :evil: I've already singled out my victims, and I'm gonna post the list on the forums tonight to get the rest of the Sysops' approval. You asked about Swine Flu... my mom's boss was in Mexico at the time, and he got sick soon after returning so we were a bit concerned, but it turned out to be nothing :o Happy belated birthday; too bad you didn't get all the images you wanted to upload, but you still uploaded and edited A LOT. I wish my Photoshop was working, then I could go around and remove watermarks like I've been dying to do. Talk to you later (but hopefully not too much later)! - 22:56, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I wish I had joined the forums earlier, but I always made excuses to put it off <_> I have dreams that come true all the time; I actually had a dream that my Wiki account got hacked, and then 48 hours later Stooby's account was hacked! Again, sorry for not responding quickly - my friends in RL go for months without returning my phone calls, so I know how you feel... I am done my dragon, but it's still at school... My vision is for some templates to be species-specific (and other Mario-groupings), and then others will be huge templates that cover all the aspects of a game (i.e. ) - none of that, , foolery. But I'm a long way from combining templates like those - oh no, I'm only good at deleting and then systematically replacing one thing for another and removing/adding things... For now ;D Cool; I didn't know about the DS successor. I actually like how this generation of Nintendo consoles is lasting so long; my family can't afford to keep up when they turnover every couple years. Today, I am pretty good. My calculus exam was bad, but my friend and I got to ride in the elevator and run around in the school basement with our English teacher, which we've never gotten to do before - and all because I wanted a copy of King Lear X3 -  00:07, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

It's exam season, and since I don't have any exams today, I get to stay home! - 13:45, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
 * I generally patrol during my Wiki breaks, but now I've finished checking most of the recent changes... Hmmm... what to do, what to do... Maybe I'll go downstairs and have a snack... - 13:52, 12 June 2009 (EDT)

I have one more school-related project to finish (for Monday, hopefully) before I can turn my attention to the templates. However, today I did a little mini-project with CheckUser instead, with fairly successful results (check the admin forums - I made a new thread for it). And yes, I've seen your "Growth of the Summer" project - it's quite ambitious; whenever I make big summer plans they always come up short, so hopefully you'll have better luck with your endeavor. Also, Tucayo turned the PipeProject idea into an actual Proposal, so you should take a looksie. Well, I have rough drafts of projects on the go saved on my computer, and the History of my Template page is a fairly good record of all the proposals I've done, MarioWiki and Special talk pages also record my Wiki-meddling, as do the tonnes of notes lying around my computer. (One Post-It note lists Location Templates I singled out and destroyed; the results of the hated First English Name Proposal; a reminder to clean-up after two particularly irritating n00bs; notes about Angry Aztec and Pokey; and some scribbles I'm too tired to decipher at the moment (3:00 AM).) I also write notes on the kitchen calendar and keep all my old paperwork (so I have cancelled hand-drawn comic pages to laugh at too); but yeah, certainly your binder is much more organized than my mess *is envious* - 02:59, 19 June 2009 (EDT)
