The 'girl' has been busy. Lately, I've felt the compulsion to return to happy places and happy times, because I've spent the last 9 years in utter desolation.
I was a designer on CTPI and II, and then I worked briefly at 7 Studios, and then I moved on to Treyarch, where I was told that I was a lousy programmer.
Apparently, the dude who interviewed me felt that the 'Labyrinth Solving Algorithm' was the acme of game design knowledge.
What he never considered was the SIZE of the labyrinth. I mean, if you make enough right turns, you will go in a circle.
Talk about yer infinite loops!

Yes, I have Tourette's, but it's pretty much 'under control' these days, depending on your version of 'control'.
I was also quite autistic as a child, and was considered 'slow' by all of my teachers, despite the fact that my IQ tested higher than 90% of the country. I still have 'attacks' of rocking and talking to myself and I still have a pretty hard battle with depression and insomnia.
It's sort of funny, when I first started going to university (UCLA, if anyone cares), I always thought of myself as the ugliest person alive. But people were always wanting to take my picture (with my clothes ON - back then, unless you had the hots for 14-yr old Asian boys, no-one wanted to see me without 'em) for different projects. Now that I think about it, perhaps my self-loathing was so apparent that you could see it in my face.
Everything BUT the girl, as they probably don't say down under.
Besides, I have always hoped someone would eventually like me for who I am, and not what I look like. I've never liked being 'pretty', and I've always tried to get people to stop looking at me and take my MIND seriously.
Too bad it's easier to see tits than brains, huh?
I often thought that if I got a boob implant, I'd get one on my forehead, because it's a lot closer to what I want people to consider about me.
You know who I would marry in a second? Richard Feynman, because a finer man has never lived. But since he's dead now, I guess I'm looking at the life of a spinster with 87 cats.
That's OK, though. It gives me more time to read stuff that I find on the ground.

Actually, my second choice might have been Albert Einstein, or maybe Neil Gaiman (although I do believe that Gaiman is a gay man).
The only person I know of whom I would consider hitching is dating Salma Hayak, and how the heck can you compete with that?!?
Ah well, at least I have my 2 cats. It's a good start to that spinster collection.
