I'm still not really that tired...
I've been awake for the past 39 and a half hours! XD
I suppose an explanation is neccessary... Well, My best friend since 4th grade is heading off for university on saturday, and we're trying to get as much time in together as we can before he heads off. When i got back from summer school yesterday (which is finally over! more on that later) my friend was at my house, apparently he had been waiting for an hour, as i had taken my time coming home. Anyways, we just hung around for awhile and joked around, and we eventually decided that we should accomplish a goal we set for ourselves awhile back. We needed to beat Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (a video game for those of you who aren't as dorky as we are :P) So we headed up to rogers and rented the game. We got to his house and immediately started playing at about 2 p.m. 18 hours later we finished at 8 a.m. the next day! Now for those of you(and I imagine that this is ALL of you) who haven't played a video game for 18 straight hours, let me tell you it's an experience, we're quite proud of ourselves.
While i was playing i realised how much things are going to be different when my friend leaves. We've been such good friends for such a long time...i'm just really going to miss him. Even though he's coming back for christmas, it's going to be tough. I can say with some degree of certainty that i won't be staying up all night just to beat a video game. Expect a certain level of needyness from me after he leaves, i'm going to have a big hole to fill.
In other news, summer school is finally over! Well not quite, i still have my provincial on tuesday, but all classes are over. Taking a course in summer is definitely an experience. I would imagine that university would be something similar to the workload that i had to deal with. All in all though, i enjoyed it, and it's looking like i'll have a nice average booster to send into universities in a few months.
Hmm, I've just hit the 40 hour mark without sleep. I never thought that i'd be able to do this, but once you've passed through the night, it's not terribly difficult to stay awake during the day. I was somewhat drowsy at work (had an 8.5 hour shift today), everyone was suprised that I was still standing considering how long i had gone without sleep. I'm quite proud of myself.
ahh, work. I got promoted! Yes it's very nice, even though the promotion was granted to me because they needed to fill positions, it's still nice. I now have minions at work that can do my bidding. i'm one step closer to world domination ;)
I've started Soloing in guitar. I'm not very good at it :p, but i suppose that will come with time. I still prefer my acoustic guitar over the electric. I just love the idea of me sitting around a campfire with a bunch of friends playing guitar. It's just a very cool thought.
Annual fishing trip w/ my dad and little brother is coming up soon! ahh always a blast. fishing is such a great way to relax. for those of you who have not been fishing recently, stop reading and go now. 'Tis a jolly good time.
Anyways, I'm due at work once again in 10 and a half hours, so i think it's time that i took a very well deserved nap. g'night!
