final fantasies
So, livejournal community, it has come to this.
Nah, I'm just kidding about that intro. There's no problem. I just beat Final Fantasy (the first one for NES, remember that? no, you don't) for the first time. It took me...like 15 years to do it. But I did it. And the ending sucked. Turns out I was the light warrior all the time.
At any rate, I am a failure at playing guitar hero on the hard setting. And I don't think I'll ever not be a failure at it. But at least I'll always have mediocrity to be proud of.
Here's an amusing anecdote to end with, today I got some free CD's from my work. When I got off work, I texted Nikol to see if she was bringing Andrew to my house this evening, as we always hang out on sundays, but she's been bringing Andrew lately, so I wasn't sure how many cornish hens I had to cook for dinner, but she didn't answer my text. So I drove to sports authority where she works to inquire in person. No, she wasn't bringing Andrew, but that's not the point. Chris Brady happened to be in the camera room, watching Nikol and I chatting at the front register and called Nikol on the phone next to her area to tell her to send me into the camera room so he could say hi. So I go in there, and he's sitting in a chair, facing away from me, watching the security cameras. He could control them with a keypad, so he could move them all around and zoom in and all that stuff. I pointed out to him how creepy it all was, but he already knew. I went back out to Nikol's station, and told her about how we had been watching her on the cameras, and she said "yeah, I figured, I never do anything embarassing because I know someone's always watching." So anyway, I was chatting with Nikol, and Chris came out to do something. Just as he did, I suddenly remembered that I had told Nikol that I was going to rent this movie called Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy. Being that I had to drive so far to rent it, I freaked out, high-fived her about it, and ran out of the store while she and Chris watched. I turned my car the wrong way when I was trying to get out of the parking lot, giving Chris just enough time to have come outside to flag me down as I passed. So I roll down my window, and he says to me, he says "the funniest thing about you running out of the store like that is that you set off the alarm when you ran out." Naturally I was like "holy shit, I didn't take anything" and he was like "yeah I know, I wasn't coming after you, I just thought it was funny." Then I remembered the free cd's that I had gotten from work, and how they set off the alarm there when I left too.
So, I ran out of the store all the way to my car, having set off the alarm. Hahah....the end.
