Hi there! I love polka dots, jelly, and Greek mythology. And I would like to add that A Midsummer's Night Dream is the best play ever written. That is all.

iCarly

A great TV show that's seriously funny (is that oxymoronic?). Airs on YTV every Friday at 6 pm. Even if you don't have cable, you can still watch Season 1 and 2 on Netflix (you can get a 30-day free trial, but be sure to cancel it on time if you don't want it anymore, because it automaticall starts charging once you pass 30 days). You can also check out their website at:
iCarly.com
Even more humour!

Cool Tools For Schools

I know the title sounds kind of lame, but that's what it's called and it's the ultimate presentation map! It includes about a bazillion links to other websites that you can use to create interactive, awesome, great-looking, amazing presentations! Although some of you may think it's boring because it's "educational", but it's actually really fun browsing all the tools. And what's wrong with learning? Nothing. If you're still doubting, just go and check it out yourself! Here's the link:
http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/
Just click on one of the categories on the leftmost side of the webpage.
What are you waiting for? Be sure to reccomend it to your teachers, friends, classmates, etc. But try it yourself first!

Google Pacman

Google Pacman is absolutely awesome!!! Go to http://www.google.com/pacman/ and play! If you don't know how, you have three options:
1) Don't play.
2) Figure it out yourself.
3) Read the following instructions.
You may have noticed the options are listed in order of how smart the idea is. So, 3) is the smartest option to take. Now for the instructions:
You control PacMan (the yellow circle with a piece missing as its mouth - that's where it eats stuff, of course) with the arrow keys. The dots all along the way are 'food' that increases your points. Avoid the weird colourful ghost/jellyfish stuff as they make you lose lives, but once in a while when you eat a large flashing dot the colourful ghost/jellyfish stuff will turn blue, and that's when you do eat them, because you'll get more points. Once it's game over, click Insert Coin to play again. It's completely free!

                        Watch this video example of a random guy playing PacMan!
Note that at 0:54 he pauses and waits for the right moment to eat the big dot.

Update

Just to let you know, there will be two categories of games here: one being a recommended game, and the other being a lame/overly-violent/boring game that you shouldn't play if you don't want to waste your time. How do you know which games are good and which ones are bad? If you read it, you'll find out. But if you're in a hurry to find a good game fast, or just plain lazy, just look at the labels of each post. If it's labeled "Good", then it's good. If it's "Bad", well, you get the point. But even if you are hurried, you should probably still read the game description to see what it's about. It's at the bottom of the post.

Bloons Tower Defense

A real awesome game involving bloons (balloons) and monkeys (shooters). How to play: Buy monkeys and other weapons to defend the tower from invading bloons. If you lose all your lives (decreases each time a bloon manages to get past all defences), you lose. There are 4 Bloons Tower Defense games. Here they are:
