For everyone (yes all three of you) who've been wondering why I haven't been updating..... well because!!! So get over it.
Lemme see... what has happened in the last few months or so that I haven't been updating. Um.... yes there were those video games.... oh yeah, and that one game... and ooooohh man that game with the bomb and.... oh the big monster attacking the city game... and work. That's pretty much the sum total of it. Except of course for Charity and I's little trip to New Hampshire. That was last month, right during my birthday (or rather I guess my birthday was right during our vacation). We went up to New Hampshire to see a bunch of relatives of mine. Those trips are so much fun. Nothing but good stuff- joking with my grandmother (a tough old lady who's had her fair share of bar fights), or playing dr. mario, or tetris 2, or various other puzzle games. That's kinda what we do- puzzle games. And let me tell you, you will never see another 80 year old woman who kicks butt at Dr. Mario like my grandmother. My cousin's even better- he's down right uncanny. It used to be no one could touch me at that game, but my cousin (his name is eric) is WAY outta my league- and I'm way outta everyone else's so that just says how good he is. Its a thing of beauty, really. We also ate plenty of fudge up there, made some trips to the beach, and just generally had a good time. My little sister came along too. Ah, the joys of puberty...... I was her best friend as long as I agreed with everything she said and did not beat her at a game. However, if I was foolish enough not to obey these demands I was treated with nothing but contempt and annoyance. Bleh.
I've been playing a ridiculous amount of Unreal Tournament 2003. I think I'm getting pretty good at it. Though something looms in the back of my mind.... I've never quite been "great" at shooter games. I can get good, even downright solid, but the elites will always make short work of me. My ability has only been tested thus far against computer opponents, and I'm hoping when I get a chance to go up against some humans that they don't completely discourage me. But then again.... it is only a game. I should definitely stop playing so much though. Everywhere I go all I can see is stuff I can translocate over or onto, and everything is nothing more than a moving target for my imaginery rocket launcher. Today when charity was home on her break and had the Cosby Show on, I kept wondering how one of the characters, a guidance counselor, would try to dodge from behind the desk if I shot a rocket launcher at it. These are not good signs. Though today has been weird anyway. I woke up at one in the morning and I was unable to go back to sleep. As a result, it is now 5:22 and I'm completely exhuasted- I just had to rouse myself from falling asleep on the couch. I'm wondering if I should skip church tonight cuz I'm so tired. Bleh. I guess I need a quote before I go....
"Let me give you some advice der kid. Don't mess wit da tings dat don't wiggle!" - advice from my grandmother on how to play Dr. Mario. She also said it again to me just after I got married, but anyway...
