This concept of 'friendship'. People use this word a lot.

A good definition for you:

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more humans.

Who decides the terms of a friendship?
The strongest person in it or the person who's better at manipulating?

Now, its in the human nature (hell I suppose an animals nature too) to be curious, nosy, sometimes even rude and ignorant (yeah, some of these probably don't count towards animals) but, if someone has a close group of friends why would you test the friendship to the extent of make or break?

I've realized that aside from having to travel a lot since being at home for this year, I also get less gossip. This is good. It means I almost stay neutral, and even avoid some bickering.

Me, I argue a little bit with my friends, about the film we'll see, or the stupid choices they make (or the stupid choices I make), but I never decide to grab a small problem and think to myself; "Well, I've got this air pump here, lets shove it into the problem and use the pump until it gets to about 49 times its actual size"... Question to the few people who do do this Why? Somethings are not worth it...

Friendship, yeah. The definition sometimes needs a bit of tweaking.
E.g: 'I'm only your friend if' Or 'I'm your friend but' - Now this seems like a get out clause to me. For a second, just think, how many of your friends are actual friends (using your own definition) and how many are actually colleges, or people you've only met a handful of times who you probably wouldn't waste your time on even if they offered to buy you, say, a house?

I consider a friendship to be where the majority of the time you don't bitch about, moan about, argue with, feel anger towards the person/people. Where actually you have no negative drama within the friendship, just a good time.

So to get back to my point what is your definition of friendship, I'm intrigued. The study of friendship, yeah, that can be my PhD.

Kind of shitting my pants right now. Not fun.

I have revised all the subject areas, and yet I'm still getting that feeling that im not prepared, but my hope is everyone feels like this when they have a big exam put in front of them.

30 MCQ's followed by 2 essay questions. I cannot wait.

It probably seems like I just like to moan about things, far from it, but I've noticed something, yet again, that is working my last nerve.

When you submit a flash to Newgrounds, you have the option to add comments as part of the submitting process. I am an avid blam/protector of the portal, as are many, and I'm sure we 'judges' are not influenced by people asking within the comments not to blam their submission.

I just read this:

'PLZ NO NOT VOTE BADLY IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FIRST TWO EPISODES OF THIS SERIES PLZ'

Few things wrong with this/you. First and for most the capital letters and the stupid spelling is extremely irritating & is usually an indication that the flash will be awful anyway. Secondly, if someone thinks your flash is crap, they're not going to care about your comments. Thirdly even if they did, do you really believe that repeating 'plz' is going to make us submit to your every wish? No of course not. & lastly why should watching the previous episodes effect our judgment, we are judging this submission, and your past submission(s) was already dealt with.

So to sum up; pleading doesn't work.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this community thrives on its users and people thrive on constructive criticism. I'm sick of seeing on replies to flash reviews things like:

What do you know? You don't even have any flash submissions

Perhaps this is because the user does not know anything about flash; and what have we all got? An opinion. Also, even if the reviewer were to submit something to NG' if they don't know anything about flash why would they? It would be awful, which brings me onto my next point:

When you submit a flash to NG your basically saying 'Please look at my work; where can I improve'
So why do people slate others for giving them what they want? So a person thought your flash was awful, the most logical statement to go along side this would be that your flash probably was awful.

Whether or not a reviewer has made a flash themselves does not effect the persons vote, or opinion which is what you (the flash submitters) are asking for, so lighten up.
