Another day, another working week has gone by. Nothing special happened this week and I didn't accomplish anything aside from work, mostly because I remained absolutely glued to my new DS in every free hour I had. I guess this week was dedicated to my periodical addiction to video games. I can go for weeks and weeks without picking up a controller, then suddenly an irrational urge to play games overtakes me and I can do nothing else but obey.
I did blow three hundred and fifty dollars on myself last week and it makes sense for me to get my money's worth out of my shopping spree. I have four puppies in Nintendogs, a golden retriever named Rufus, a beagle named Matty, a siberian husky named Croix, and a daschund named Alucard. Croix is a girl, but I called her that because of the cross-shaped mark on her face. I was originally going to call her Kenshin but the voice recognizer picks up the 'Croy' sound better than the 'Ken-sheen' sound.
Also I'm up to the final chapter in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I love every single character except one in this game. They're all so loveable, but my one exception is that von Karma bloke, he's such a jackass that he actually balances the rest of the cast out in his asshole quotient. Getting this far in the game I'd really like to find a Gumshoe/Edgeworth doujin or something on the net. Come on, the pairing is practically canon. If you don't believe me, then believe that I like to push my yaoi fangirlisms onto poor unwitting fandoms. The game's pretty gay anyway. I say that in a good way, though.
I was supposed to go out and see Spiderman 3 with Chris this evening, but work made him stay in for extra hours. We're gonna be going next friday instead. I want to do another catch-up session with him, and also plan the paint ball date for the 27th. Paint ball's so expensive that we can only afford to do it once a year, so the organising has to be perfect. God, and I'm so out of shape right now... I need to train for a week or two for this, whenever I have the spare time...
Matt directed me to to play Princess Maker 2, that game where you can raise a little girl in any way that you want. Sounds pretty pedophilic to me, but then I played it and I KNOW it's pedophilic now. That didn't stop me from finishing it twice already, once as Homunculus with my kid becoming a magician, and the second time as Pimpalonius with the kid becoming a hooker. It ate up a couple of hours but I was bored, and they say there's like seventy two endings to this game. I'm sure as hell not gonna find them all.
I'm sort of broke this weekend, so I'll probably not go out tomorrow. I might go to a coffee shop or something so I can read the paper in peace without my parents or sister's bugging me, but that's it. I'll just have to find inexpensive ways to entertain myself this weekend. I want to rest, but I should also finish those two pieces of fanfiction left lying on my desktop. I kind of miss being in the creative writing zone. It's a much better feeling than playing video games.
That's another great way of resting, especially as I'm unable to do nothing for any longer than ten minutes. Ooh... you know, I'm really looking forward to seeing Matthew again tomorrow. I talked to him briefly tonight, but it was late and we didn't really talk about anything before he had to go to bed. It might seem a little pathetic written here on this LJ, but right now he's what I'm living my life for. I don't care if it does sound pathetic, because it's true.
Ah well, I should know better than to make long rambling posts late at night. I am quite happy though, right now as I type this, I'm happier than I've been for close to six months. No one particular thing is doing this to me, I guess it must be an amalgam of different things all working together, or fitting together like turning gears. Some are more important than others, but they can't work without each other. Conversely, the removal of any one of those things could stop the happiness altogether. I don't know, I've never had a college education in psychology.
But I am happy right now, and that is good.
