So I'm chilling in DC , all's well , teaching and preformances haveall gone as planned or better.......now for the random...

I friggen love DC , I friggen love the Metro.
Having come from Fargo ND I thought Eugene was a dirverse city:facepalm:
The Metro is awesome , White folk , Black folk , rich folk , poor folk , crazies , normals , People of every race and creed taking public transport and getting where they need to go , fast.

Now if I could only get though a ride w/o feeling like I'll puke from motion sickness we'll really be in business.......I don't even mess with the seats that sit backwards , that's like asking me to puke on someone.

Sitting here, doing outlines of 3 chapters for my AP history class w/ Phil Collins in the background; got my new Wheel of Time book in the mail as well. Looks like Im not sleeping tonight.

 

EDIT: Ive drank a gallon of green tea in the last two hours; on my 8th trip to the toilet(and counting). Cant sleep with all that in me

2nd EDIT: I thought of something. Is there a max number of pages a thread can have?

it used to be a lot prettier.

 

 

package com.aenemated.hearttrek {


import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.text.*;

import flash.xml.*;

import flash.utils.*;

import flash.system.Capabilities;


import com.filippobeccaria.utils.Global;

import com.filippobeccaria.utils.*;

import org.americanheart.handsonly.*;

import org.americanheart.handsonly.NetworkingProxy;


import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

import caurina.transitions.properties.*;

FilterShortcuts.init();

ColorShortcuts.init();


public class Heart extends MovieClip {


private var heart:mc_infoHeart = new mc_infoHeart();


public var _chamberID:int;

public var _num:int;

public var _originalX:Number;

public var _originalY:Number;

public var _factoidText:String;


private var __global = Global.getInstance();

private var _userID:String;

private var __profile:Profile;


public function Heart():void {


__profile = Profile.getInstance();


heart.scaleX = .5;

heart.scaleY = .5;


addChild(heart);

heart.buttonMode = true;


heart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,doRollOver);

heart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,doRollOut);

heart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doClick);


if (__profile.userId) {

_userID = __profile.userId;

} else {

_userID = "1";

}


var factoidParams:Object = {user_id:_userID,room_id:_chamberID};

__global[ "NetworkingProxy" ] = org.americanheart.handsonly.NetworkingProxy.getInstance();

__global[ "NetworkingProxy" ].callService("GetFactoidService", factoidParams, this, handleReturn);


function handleReturn(obj:Object):void {

var resultXML:XML = new XML(obj['_xml']);

_factoidText = resultXML.response.factoids.factoid[_num].body.text();

}


}


private function doRollOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {

Tweener.addTween(heart,{scaleX:1,scaleY:1,time:.75});

}


private function doRollOut(evt:MouseEvent):void {

if (heart._selected != true) {

Tweener.addTween(heart,{scaleX:.5,scaleY:.5,time:.75});

}

}


private function doClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {


if (_userID != "1") {

var setPointsParams:Object = {user_id:_userID,app_id:"9",point_value:"25",point_action_id:"10",point_type:'user'};

__global[ "NetworkingProxy" ].callService("SetPointsService", setPointsParams, this, handleReturn);

function handleReturn(obj:Object):void {

return;

}


}



var factoid:mc_factoid = new mc_factoid();


heart._selected = true;


factoid.txt_.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

factoid.txt_.text = _factoidText;


factoid.btn_close.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closeFactoid);


if (_originalX > 0 && _originalX factoid.x = 0;

} else {

factoid.x = -factoid.width;

}


if (_originalY > 0 && _originalY factoid.y = 0;

} else {

factoid.y = -270;

}


factoid.alpha = 0;

addChildAt(factoid,0);

Tweener.addTween(factoid,{alpha:1,time:1});

}




private function closeFactoid(evt:MouseEvent):void {

heart._selected = false;

Tweener.addTween(heart,{scaleX:.5,scaleY:.5,time:.75,delay:.5});

Tweener.addTween(evt.target.parent,{alpha:0,time:.75,onComplete:function() { removeChild(evt.target.parent); }});

}


}


}

 

 

(part of a collaborative project for the american heart association. i wonder if they care how many cigarettes i've smoked working on this project.)

the tweener add child crap at the end is sort of creepy.

 

so i didn't spontaneously self combust, but I do want to shove something jabby in my eyes.

or smoke my 3rd camel in a row.

Can our families start a class action lawsuit against AHA for this specific code, which caused an increase in our cigarette smoking, which caused our early and tragic deaths....?

 

p.s. i hate you. don't ever do that again.

a lil hollywood bedtime story before rest ...

 

 

now it's raining it's pouring

and hollywood's just fine

swindle a little girl out of her dreams

another letter in the sign

never trust a scarecrow wearin' shades after dark

be careful of that old bow tie he wears

it takes a sweet little bullet from a pretty blue gun

to put those scarlet ribbons in your hair

it's from a tom waits song.
:)



now that i read it with that voice in mind it makes more sense. i went cross country with "bone machine." it was the loneliest trip i've ever taken. "a little rain," from that album always make me wanna cry. waits and bourbon go hand-in-hand.

I got written up today for reading these forums. Teacher said some of the avatars were inappropriate.



I assume many girls in your school dress more scanitly than most of the avatars? Seems that way when I'm scoping the highschoolers out... I mean passing them on their way to school. :evil:
