i want to say i'm a weird guy, bt i'm totally not. i think it's sort of neat though how i have a video game that i play for everything i do. examples:
when i'm going to the bathroom i usually bring my gameboy with pokemon ruby. because really, i've got to catch them all
too much information? then fuck off.
when i'm in the mood for some killing, which is usually right after work (i enjoy my job thoroughly, so it's not really obvious as to WHY i want to kill things), i usually play some counter strike, or day of defeat. they're online multiplayer games, so i get to "kill" real people. much nicer than just killing lines of code. anyways, when i'm waiting for room to load, or when the admin's are changing the level, i look to my pda for some solitaire. it's fast, and you don't really have to invest much emotion into the game. pokemon would be a bad idea, since i'd want to wait until the next save, and would be getting destroyed in cs, or dod since it's in real time. with solitaire i just don't give a shit and can turn it off at any moment. unless i'm on a run. but that doesn't happen often
when i'm sleepy at night i either play some xbox or gameboy. anything usually goes for the xbox, but lately i've been favoring forza motorsport. more about how much i love cars later, though. as for the gameboy, instead of pokemon, i usually reach for something a little more repetetive than pokemon, which would be one rung up from it: final fantasy 2. i can't seem to figure out where to go at this point of the game. i've got the dragoon pendant thingy, and i don't know where to go at all. but worry not: in a final fantasy game, you can spend weeks hapilly leveling up, and since in final fantasy 2 there are no clear cut "levels" to succeed, i really don't know how well i'm doing, and literally loose track of fights until i fall asleep to the music of the game. it's pretty fulfilling if you ask me.
my ps2 hasn't been getting much use as of late, which is a shame. it's always really been my favorite system of the 4 (xbox, dreamcast, gamecube, ps2), and i remember a time that i would literally (and figuratively) spit on the other three systems. then i bought a dreamcast. theni bought a gamecube. then the xbox. all the other systems had shoddy reasons to get them. all three latter ones were second hand.
i WOULD usually second guess this post right now by saying something like "this sounds like a shitty update", but it's not like i've got this throng of fans, and i really shouldn't/wouldn't count on that either. sometimes i wonder if there are some people that either don't have lj accounts, or do, but aren't on my friend's list, but read once and a while anyways. or even once. oh, if i were only the third person omnipotent... it would be pretty alright. i think, for now, i'll leave it at this. if you guys were waiting for the big love interest thing: she doesn't want to date me at all. which is utterly ridiculous. i can understand if she doesn't want to date anyone, but in a nutshell (as i read/hear it) she basically unsaid everything she did say to me. everything that i was holding onto as good reasons to stick it out. turns out things didn't go as planned at all. two things i hate more than anything? illogical reasons, and breaking of plans. take notes.
so yeah, i won't dwell, because if i don't laugh, i'll cry. maybe.
who wants to go snowboarding at blue mountain with me on the 20-23 of december? it'll be tons of fun!
