and have been since like, December, and nobody specific really comes to mind that I know is really good at drawing squirrels, who would probably be open minded enough to draw Sarge and who doesn't cost too much for someone with no constant source of income. I might also want to redesign Nova a little. Any suggestions for either?

Now I have to log 50 hours of driving, 10 at night before I can go on and try and get my license.

I got back from the emergency room last night, and today the swelling has gone down so much, and I'm going to be on some more meds to help with the swelling. I think I'm going to be perfectly alright.

Okay, so over the weekend I've been having this huge toothache which made it pretty much impossible to sleep even with a lot of different pain medicines, then on Tuesday I finally got to go to the dentist, who said that one of my tooth nerves was dead and was producing gas which made pressure, so there was a root canal thing that let the gas out, which made it feel better for a few hours until it started hurting again later.
Then after that, the next day I wake up to find my face all swollen and I go to the dentist again, who fixes another tooth (which was dying but not dead already), and then the pain actually went away. Now I've got a temperature and the swelling's gotten worse and there's other stuff and mom wants me to go to the emergency room. (so seeya I guess)

[edit]: emergency room was okay; I got an IV to help with the swelling and then went home

With two controllers, and I plan to make games for it. I'm going to try to finish and then port JoshCraft SE (at least the singleplayer version) before April when the Ouya comes out, which gives me like 6 months.

inb4 i get in console wars with my hardcore nintendo fan friends

Basically nobody used my network ever except for like 3 users so now it's a part of IotaIRC.
Get to it at toaster.iotairc.net or irc.novasquirrel.com, whichever you prefer.

hey guys I guess I'm 17 now :O

I finally got around to taking like 15 minutes to set up port forwarding, so I can actually host servers that people can connect to on that spare computer in my room now. I have no idea what I'll even host though since the computer is pretty old. (Currently I've got an IRC bot going and an FTP server)
My cousin suggested buying a domain, so now I have novasquirrel.com (which just leads to my hosting space from TheMonkeyBob, currently) with the help of my cousin, and in the soon I'll have a subdomain that leads to my server. :P

Yeah Raiven finished the ref finally. I updated my icon accordingly so refresh please. :D

Yep, it's official. I'm a squirrel now, everywhere. :3
Most of my design will stay the exact same as it was earlier this year, color scheme, Sarge, wings and all.
I'm also going to keep using the same account names I always have.

I finally gave into trying out being a squirrel rather than a yoshifox a few days ago on AnthroChat, and I kind of decided to stay one indefinitely there. Now I'm kind of in the middle of some confusion as to whether I want to be NovaYoshi or NovaSquirrel primarily elsewhere, too. On one hand, I really love squirrels and they're my favorite animal, but on the other hand, I don't want to give up something I've more or less been for three or four years that I have an identity built up around.

What are your thoughts? :3

Changes include:
+Credits and help actually work
+More levels (entire first world is done)
+Ability to run out of lives
+Level select and world select (only first world is done)
+Level preview before you start a level
+The BIG FONT uses the same file as the small one, scaled up to 2x
+Various level format extensions where you can set templates for sprites
+Killed enemies fall off the screen instead of disappearing in a poof
+Various things are centered horizontally now

By  coppahhead, last Sunday - FA submission aaaand a copy on my site, for those who may or may not have their account set for mature art.
Also, new avatar, so F5.

Oh hey, finally an anniversary I actually noticed before it was over.
Two years ago, on 10/30/2009, I met an arctic fox named Sarge on IRC and he became Nova's cock.
...
but I'm not really doing anything special to celebrate

So I can't really work on any of my projects, since they're on the hard drive of the laptop whose power cord broke and whose battery is completely dead, and I never backed them up anywhere (unless I start MORE projects, which would be silly), resulting in lots of boredom and IRCing.
I do have a backup of most of my music collection, a portion of my yiff collection, and the latest Sparkles (with sourcecode!) laying around on various devices. :P

So I'm on my OTHER laptop that I never really used until now. (better than doing all my stuff on my desktop)

And just like the 1st and 2nd anniversaries, I didn't notice until after it had already passed.

It was okay and tons of relatives were over, but mostly adults who were just there to say "Happy birthday" and then talk to my parents.
We had burgers and hotdogs and stuff for lunch and then for dinner we ordered some pizza.
As for presents: Super Smash Brothers Brawl, a DVD of six episodes from the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon (specifically chosen because one of the episodes was used for the first Youtube Poop), and $90, and Mom's gonna try and find me a copy of Bomberman Party Edition online.
Also,  ztgm drew me in my pony form

It's on June 19th, and I'm gonna be 16 years old, which is finally past the age of consent in my state (Indiana).
I have just one more day of school left.

... I also entered FHBG into a contest

I've been working on an NES game for awhile named Forehead Block Guy. It's a simple little platformer game where you have to defeat all the enemies on each level by throwing blocks at them (from your forehead, hence the name) to stun them then touching them while stunned. I also included a mode that lets you make your own levels.

It's still a work-in-progress, but other than a couple bugs it's pretty much done.

The archive containing the complete sourcecode (under GPL version 2) and a ROM, feel free to upload it to places that would freak out from seeing a ROM of any kind, (incorrectly) assuming that any ROM is going to be a dump of some game. :3

Awhile ago I got my first tablet: an Archos 43 running Android 2.2.
I picked up the SDK and I've been playing around with making apps for it. After a couple days I finally made something that lets the user DO something: create "toast" messages with user specified text.

If anyone wants to play with it: here's the APK
I hope to make more useful things in the future (Something worthy of being in the Android AppsLib store. ) Maybe a game! :D

Now with a fox tail, footpaws, and ears. :3
Updated reference picture is here

Lately, my first period teacher has been getting worse and worse, acting like I'm "sleeping in his class" and telling my parents whenever I close my eyes for a few seconds during one of his long, boring lectures at the start of the day. No one else in the class considers that to be sleeping.
Mom's boyfriend, in his usual interfering manner, figured that I need to have strict bedtimes now, ON THE WEEKEND, because he mistakenly thinks that the amount of time I spend asleep determines how awake I am.
I have proven time and time again that I can sleep any amount of time and still wake up tired, and that what really matters was how early I was woken up in relationship to the time I have to go to school.
At least Dad understands.

Self explanatory :3

I might be stuck offline for awhile until Mom and her boyfriend FINALLY get around to getting Internet access at the new house. (Unless I get lucky with leeching like right now)

As a few of you know, Mom and her boyfriend plan to move into a new house. I already have to wait about half an hour extra every day for her boyfriend, and most days I get home at around 3:00 PM, leaving me about two hours to be able to do things before I have to go to Dad's house. Since my little sister's bus won't stop anywhere near the new place or the school that Mom's boyfriend works at, we're going to have to go pick her up each day as well, and with the amount of time it takes to get there or back, I'm going to be getting home around 4:00PM, leaving me just one hour and wasting a perfectly good hour I could've spend at Mom's house.
