Blogging about whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like.

Is it really that rare to find a female on CoD? Seriously?

In all of the games I’ve been playing the past few days, I’ve come across only 2 other female players. What is with that? I know its not a “girly game” but surely female gamers aren’t THAT rare?

I’ve been playing CoD a fair bit the past few days. Getting a lot better at it, too. Yay me!

Whats been rolling is about 11am, I’ll go online, then spend most the afternoon playing CoD till about 4:30pm where I go do the housework and things that need to be done, go out, etc. Then about 11:00pm, have another few games till around 11:30, then Adam and I are blitzing through Resident Evil 5.

I originally had 4 achievements before we started blasting through Resi together, now am at 18. Got the livesaver and a friend in need achievements. :’) Really enjoying it! Wont last though as I have other things to do, too. And we’ll complete the game, but right now, its nice, enjoyable, and fun.

Feeling so loved up the past few days, its unbelievable. And the weathers been gorgeous. Huge contributor.

HOWEVER. Severn Trent ftl >.> I haven’t showered today. Yesterday I had to have a bath to get clean and wash my hair because apparently, found out after calling up today, theres a major leak locally and its facking up our water pressure. >.< I hope it is fixed soon… :/ I hope I’ll get to have a hot shower in the morning. I hate having baths in the morning, makes me so sleepy…

I made a couple of videos on anxiety for anyone who is interested. The support so far has blown me away as I only posted them last night!
Heres the links.

Then the next one will be where I was to where I am now, then future periodic updates and answering q’s inbetween.

If you have any questions, you can ask them here http://www.formspring.me/mnemosynex
They can be about anxiety if you want me to cover it in a vid, or any other things like my artwork/photography and such, or anything else. I won’t be linking it to twitter though as its kinda irritating. XD Ask whatever you like and ask as many seperate questions as you like.

I appreciate it. <3

Yes, eatster.

People only seem to care about the chocolate eggs and stuff. In fact, people are always munching them /before/ easter.

I dunno, I’m no Christian, and I’ve never really been big on easter, but this sort of irks me just a bit. But hey, thats just me, what would I know about values and stuff. >.> I dunno, thats just what I reckon.

I didn’t get and chocolate eggs for easter. So I got exactly what I asked for. I asked that nobody waste their money buying them for me this easter, and this includes Adam. Well, he bought me mini Lindor eggs as they’re 3 for £1 in his work place but thats because they have no regular Lindor.. He didn’t buy them for me for easter, he bought them for my hormones. Haha. Well, I gave him the money and asked him to get me some and he did, as well as ginger cake as I’ve been sick lately, but he bought me some more himself.

He also bought me a big boquet of flowers which are just gorgeous! I will put a picture up as soon as I can. Though they’re not as fresh and pretty looking as they were now… its been a few days.

EDIT: Pic

Speaking of pictures, yesterday I got a new digital camera, just a cheap £50 jobby. A point and shoot. Its just not that easy to carry around a big ass dSLR in your bag all the time and the fear of it being stolen doesn’t help. I like to try and be prepared to take pictures and I always have my phone camera, but I needed something more. And thus, I bought me a point and shoot. Not given it a proper test yet, but we shall soon see. Yus. Its an Olympus and its salmon pink. XD

So I suck at this “staying updated” buisiness.

Will backdate some entries and post soon, as much has happened. Especially over the last fortnight. Will probably start with more recent events and will try to update more often from now on… hopefully. Yay. Quick summary? I am getting a life.

A school district in Pennsylvania spied on students through web cameras installed on laptops provided by the district, according to a class action lawsuit filed this week.

Lower Merion school district, in a well-heeled suburb of Philadelphia, provided 2,300 high-school students with Mac laptops last autumn in what its superintendent, Christopher McGinley, described as an effort to establish a “mobile, 21st-century learning environment”.

The scheme was funded with $720,000 (£468,000) in state grants and other sources. The students were not allowed to install video games and other software, and were barred from “commercial, illegal, unethical and inappropriate” use.

The district retained remote control of the built-in webcams installed on the computers – and used them to capture images of the students, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court this week.

The ruse was revealed when Blake Robbins, a student at Harriton high school, was hauled into the assistant principal Lindy Matsko’s office, shown a photograph taken on the laptop in his home and disciplined for “improper behaviour”.

According to Robbins, Matsko said the school had retained the ability to activate the laptop webcams remotely, at any time. Backed by his parents, Robbins filed a lawsuit on behalf of all students provided with laptops by the school.

The suit claims a violation of the privacy and civil rights of the students and their families and accuses officials of violating electronic communications laws by spying on them through “indiscriminate use of an ability to remotely activate the webcams incorporated into each laptop”.

It claims that since the laptops were used by students and their friends and family at home, images of “compromising or embarrassing positions, including … in various states of undress” have been captured. A school district spokesman, Douglas Young, did not return a call seeking comment, but told the Philadelphia Inquirer the district was investigating. “We’re taking it very seriously,” he said.

In a letter posted on the school district’s website, McGinley said the district had installed on the laptops a security feature that allowed the webcam to photograph the computer operator in the event the laptop is lost or stolen. He said that following the suit’s filing, the district disabled the feature amidst a review of technology and privacy policies. He said the feature was activated only to help locate a lost or stolen laptop.

“The district never activated the security feature for any other purpose or in any other manner whatsoever,” he wrote. “We regret if this situation has caused any concern or inconvenience among our students and families.”
