It would help me out immensely with my paper. The more data I can gather the better!

Thank you for anyone that took my survey before! I really appreciate it!!

And looking through the mounds of information out there on the internet is nothing compared to being able to see the plan old data in front of me so if you all would be willing to answer in a few questions in the for of a comment or by taking my survey at SurveyMonkey it would help me immensely on my paper!

SIMPLY REBLOG AND YOU CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Hey there, my name is Shayla and I’ve been gaming for as long as I can remember. I’ve been lucky enough to grow in a stable household and I’ve never had to deal with a life altering illness, but I know first hand how important video games can be. Gaming can offer an escape from our daily lives and a chance to unwind. People my age and older benefit from it- now imagine how important it is for children who are suffering from illnesses of all kinds to have distraction and a chance to have fun in their lives. That’s why I want to donate to Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity.
ABOUT CHILD’S PLAY
“Since 2003, we’ve set up and organized Child’s Play, a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 70 hospitals worldwide. Over the years, you as a community have answered the call and come together to raise millions of dollars.Child’s Play works in two ways. With the help of hospital staff, we set up gift wish lists full of video games, toys, books, and other fun stuff for kids. By clicking on a hospital location on our map, you can view that hospital’s wish list and send a gift.
Child’s Play also receives cash donations throughout the year. With those cash donations, we purchase new consoles, peripherals, games, and more for hospitals and therapy facilities. These donations allow for children to enjoy age-appropriate entertainment, interact with their peers, friends, and family, and can provide vital distraction from an otherwise generally unpleasant experience.
-Child’s Play.”
ABOUT MY FUNDRAISER
- For every re-blog of this post, I will donate 20 cents to the Child’s Play charity! The deadline I’m setting is February 19th so on that day, I’ll do the math and figure out how much I’ll be donating to them.
- I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANY MONEY. All I want is for people to reblog this post and spread the word! The number of reblogs will decide how much I donate to Child’s Play. I don’t want your money. Just your awareness and kindness.
- I don’t know how successful this will wind up being, but you have my word that every reblog WILL act as money towards Child’s Play. Even if I have to set a certain amount of money out of my pay cheques and do so for years, I’ll do it and that’s a promise!
THE BREAKDOWN
1 reblog = 20 cents
10 reblogs = 2 dollars
50 reblogs = 10 dollars
100 reblogs = 20 dollars

Kids today...
So my step-son is 10 and a total gamer! Personally, never being a gamer myself, it drives me nuts and I think it corrupts our youth. He was flabergasted when I told him I never played video games in my life. He asked me what I did for fun as a kid; I told him I played board games, read books, used my imagination and played outside. His response was priceless.
“I like to play outside too!!! I sometimes take my Pokemon cards and DS outside when I play!!!”
FOR SERIOUSLY?!?
That’s my nephew! xD
GAME OVER
So with school ,work and moving I haven’t been able to play on the 360 for around 3 weeks. (Playing NES, DS and working with UDK&UT3 at my apartment and school.) Very excitedly I put in Portal 2 which I was approximately half way through only to find that all of my game data had been saved over so I was right at square one… I’m not sure which one did it but either my niece or nephew is in a crap load of trouble since neither us even aloud to touch the 360 since they broke one my controllers while fighting over it! I ending up having to spend $40 to buy a new freaking controller… and now they did this… Its GAME OVER for whichever one I find out did it… GAME FREAKIN OVER…
Can I visit your dreams?
Sure! If you find me in them maybe we can hang out and grab a spot of tea… Maybe even on the ceiling! :D
Oh and by the way you should totally listen to the song NINJA OF LOVE by FREEZEPOP! Your name made me think of it!
