And my voice mirrors, mirrors my torment
This is probably going to be a long winded update.
Ended up missing game night last night. Monster energy drink is to blame. See, Friday night was a bad night for me. Woke up feeling very cranky and grumpy, and got a good dose of loneliness as the night wore on. Didn't talk much to anyone. So, Saturday when I got up for work and was still feeling a bit grumpy, when I stopped at the gas station I picked up two 24oz cans, 'cause they were on sale. I drank both of them that night, which I've never done before.
Needless to say, this kept me up a bit longer than usual once I got home from work. Stayed up until about 11am, playing Guitar Hero III with my roommates. I finally went to bed and slept until about 4pm. 5 hours of sleep, usually enough to hold me over. Wasn't feeling very motivated, so I played around on the computer, waiting for Tony to get a hold of me to tell me what the plans for the night were. About 9pm or so, I fell asleep at the computer. A half hour later my roomies wake me up. Not too long after that, Tony messages me. All is fine and dandy except I keep falling back asleep in my chair. I could not keep myself awake. So, after a bit of dozing, and waking up, and dozing off again, I messaged Tony and let him know what was going on and I wouldn't be coming over. Feeling bad about that, I laid down in bed, at around 10:20pm. I slept until a little after 4am. I've been awake since and am not the least bit tired.
I will never again drink that much of an energy drink in one night. I felt like I had an energy drink hangover and then crashed hardcore from it.
In other news, I'm getting better at the Guitar Hero games. I can now play Medium level decently. Some songs are painful due to the strain on my left hand to get my pinkie finger coordinated with the rest of my hand. Chord switching also gives me problems. I still think playing my bass was a hell of a lot easier than playing these games. Which I've also been tempted to pick up and start playing again. The only problem is I hate practicing it by myself. In and after High School, when I was in a garage band, I got so used to playing with other people. Once that venture fell apart, I couldn't bring myself to keep playing all by my lonesome. Not to mention I was only decent at it, like most things I do, I didn't excel at it. But, if I do take it out of storage and try again, it'll have to be once I get my room all sorted out and after the holiday extravaganzas.
Also, there are a few songs from the games I am now hell bent on getting my hands on. Funny thing is most them are bonus songs. Only 5 currently, but I'm sure the list will grow. Here they are:
The Sword - Freya
Shadows Fall - The Light that Blinds
Killswitch Engage - My Curse
In Flames - Take This Life
Prototype - The Way it Ends
My roommates are very entertaining, especially when they bicker. It seems they enjoy pushing each others buttons. If only they'd let me film their "arguments." High entertainment value right there. Especially when it's over something inconsequential. They both enjoy getting a rise out of the other while I sit back and laugh at both of them. Yes, I am thus far enjoying living here.
I'm stuck on as what to get my nephew for Xmas. The kid has more toys than he knows what to do with, so I'm trying to stay away from those. I got him books last year. I think I might end up doing the same thing this year. Though I won't nearly go to the extent I did last year, as my budget is much tighter. He's the only person I'm buy gifts for this year. Moving and other things have put me on a tighter than usual budget this season, so tough nuggies to everyone else.
I have so much crap I need to do. Finish unpacking, organizing, reorganizing stuff that's staying packed, finish going through music I've been given, organize files on my computer, organize my bookmarks, reacquire bookmarks, back-up bookmarks in a variety of ways, and that's all I can think of just off the top of my head. Laziness, lack of motivation, being easily distracted, being easily entertained, and my work schedule have been putting a damper on these "chores."
Since I'm not sleeping today, I guess I should get my lazy ass away from the computer and do something. Well, gimme five more minutes..
