Here I am, sitting in my Donnie Darko costume (grey pullover, stupid cheesy 80's black jumpsuit type thing with bones on the front so it looks like I'm some sort of retarded skeleton, only not), waiting for Cici to put her costume on so we can take her siblings and their friend trick-or-treating. I never really liked halloween that much, because I'm not really a big fan of candy. I am a big fan of dressing up though. Me likey. I wonder if anyone will even get the Donnie Darko thing. Very doubtful.
Cici is going as a punk-rock chick. I actually know people who dress like her costume on a daily basis though, so it just seems like she went through an overnight identity crisis to me. It's all good though.
Change of subject time. I have a ton of video game consoles (mostly oldschool). For example, I have an oldschool Gameboy, Nintendo (NES), Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, PSone, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Gamecube, and a few other things I'm forgetting. Anyway, Cici's brother and sister have been bugging the absolute HELL out of me to unpack the Gamecube and hook it up so they can play some games. These kids are crazy about it. It's annoying at times, but it has its advantages too. For example;
All I have to do is hide it somewhere that they won't find it before I go to bed and I'm guaranteed to be woken up at 8am on the dot by them begging me to play the Gamecube. Now, the standard alarm clock won't wake me up sometimes, because I could sleep through a god damn war sometimes. These kids, however, will do everything in their power to wake me up, and believe me, they'll wake me up somehow. So that's one positive thing.
It could also be used to get them to leave cici and me the hell alone. "Leave us alone or you can't play the Gamecube anymore." They instantly go from annoying to disciplined. Pretty professional really.
If I were truly evil, I could get all sorts of things done for me. I could have them clean my room, make up my bed, possibly even roll a red carpet out for me wherever I tread, but I won't do that because I am not an asshole. Just kidding, we all know that I am.
Today, I got them hooked on the Dreamcast (because I have mastered the art f downloading and burning games for it). I have about 22 legal games for the Dreamcast, and about 78 burned games. Mwahahaha. so that means more favors coming our way.
Anyway, they're yelling at us to take them trick-or-treating now (it's 6 fucking 30), so I kind of have to go. Donnie Darko over and out. Bitches.
