This whole last week was very crazy. I had mad tests and papers due on Monday tuesday and wednesday then on thursday I waited 12 hours for the raffling of the ps3s at circuit city. Didn't win. All i got were many hours of painful standing along with the cold wet rain running down my face, clothes, etc. Can you imagine prunes? Because that's what my toes looked like.
Had to come into work on friday and that was a pain on my heels. They felt as if with every step my heels were splitting in two, as though I had an axe to each heel and any step on the floor would drive that sucker right into my marrow.
Saturday wasn't much help seeing as though I went out, but at least i had some comfortable sneakers on. Then Later that day I went to the sports authority by my house with my friends, picked up some camping chairs, and took the train to the nintendo store where we camped for the wii. Other then the freezing weather outside during the early morning/late night, It was pretty fun. Played some settlers, some scrabble, talked about mad random shit. It also helped that the store across from where I was sitting was open 24 hours, so if i ever needed to pee or get food or stay warm, then there it was.
What sucked was that my group was, i'm guessing, the 100th or so people on the line to buy it and at 8am is when they were suppose to let us in and at 6am is when the pre-ordered were suppose to pick theirs up. I dunno. I just think nintendo world should have made this more better. The fact that they had waves of preorders just buzzing by when it was 8, 830, 900, 930, 1000 and all in between was really annoying. They packed the stores like sardines while us people who camped to buy it at 8 couldn't get in as quickly as I had hoped. They should have told the preorder folks to come at 6 sharp and circle the other side of the store. I understand that they had over 1000 people coming in, but these people were just getting off the trains and walking into the store like royalty. lol. Sure I suppose I shouldn't be bitching about them since if i have preordered I would have probably done the same, lol, but you know, it just sucks.
I got in at 1015am. So, I was basically on the line for 13 hours. Got me really annoyed as hell, but after i got the Wii I just forgot about it, lol. You know how I am, never one to stay angry for too long. Plus I was just relieved that I could finally go home and get some sleep on a BED, but unfortunately I wasn't able to sleep on my bed. I had all this stuff to do at home and I was at my friend's house after I got the wii for a while, so I didn't get home till 8pm, then did the house thing, didn't sleep until 1230. Was going to wake up at 5 in the morning to study for my Bio test today, but I woke up late. I gotta get some better alarm clocks because I never recalled ever turning them off last night. Either that or my brother's a fucking dick.
Alright, well now that all this videogaming shananigans is over, I suppose I can just enjoy the week since it's turkey week.
