Games, Cars, Apartments, and Sophisticated Insults

Alright, let's see if I can arrange my thoughts well enough that I appear to have some semblence of structure today. First off, don't go outside or the air will kill you. That is all. Secondly, random reminder if Suey happens to be reading this--remember, I want some pie and that bracelet for Christmas!


Moving on...


I went on Steam today and played Medal of Honor for a solid hour, then discovered during my perusing of the Steam store that Fallout 3 was only 20 bucks. Naturally such a deal couldn't be allowed to pass by, so I bought it. I know I know, call me a late bloomer. But yes, I just BARELY bought Fallout 3, now that the novelty has completely worn off and avid gamers have moved on to Fallout New Vegas. Oh well. The download time said 6 hours, so I thought to myself "crap that's a long time, especially considering it's already 10pm and I'm kinda tired. I'll just play some Bad Company 2 while I wait, that'll make it go by faster." So I open up BC2 intending to play the single player mode to avoid the inexorable horrific lag I would be sure to experience online due to the downloading of an entire game. That bandwidth is GONE. So, I elected to play single player for awhile. I had barely opened the game when a window popped up saying that I have to install an update before I can play the game. I moaned and groaned and huffed and I puffed, but the window could not be blown down, so I clicked "install."


Naturally, I had to temporarily suspend Fallout's download in favor of getting this other one out of the way so I could continue downloading Fallout and enjoy my BC2 in peace. Woe is me! For it's now a half hour later, and this (bleep) update isn't even a 10th finished. What am I updating, BC2's around the whole world??


So, naturally once again, I did the only rational thing I could do. I called my bestie Suey to say goodnight, got a Pepsi, played some Disciple music, and decided to update my blog. It's occurred to me that I only update my blog when I'm bored or have nothing better to do...and I update my blog a lot. Note to self, get a life.


Sales pitch of the evening, go listen to John Farnham's "You're the Voice." That song is simply unparalleled in its scale of epic proportioning.


Random insult of the evening, "You're a sophisticated retterition inebriated by your own verbosity!" Say this rapidly, and the receiver of the insult will be so flabbergasted at your fluid word usage that he won't have anything to come back with. It gets even more funny when you understand what it actually means :P good luck with that, I had to ask for help to figure it out myself. Poor me.


I NEED A CAR. And I need to go to school. Car, and school. Car, and school, and moving out to be exact. Step 1 on my list of current priorities is get a plausible form of transportation. Step 2 on the very same list is to register for/and complete a semester of school. Step 3 on, quite coincidentally, that exact list (bad attempt at humor), is move out with some friends in the summer. These friends include but are not yet set in stone Travis, Derek, Dimas, and Roseman. In a 2 or 3 room apartment, splitting the bill wouldn't be half bad so long as everyone has their own transportation and possesses the ability to pay their share. I sincerely hope that none of them are allergic to cats... because I'm taking my Koshka with me. He wouldn't last a day without me :) the poor lazy thing. But, admittedly, I sometimes wonder how many days I would last without him as well... I'm quite fond of him. Also on my list of priorities, somewhere in the mix, is finding a second job (note, not a new job but an ADDITIONAL job) to help foot the bills. Perhaps a graveyard shift somewhere at a Walmart or something, or a morning shift at...something... I don't know. I'll figure it out.


I'd like to briefly address a small thing that gives me pause; some people have mentioned that lately I seem more solemn, quiet, serious, reserved, mistrusting, etc. I'm not quite sure if this is true or not, but I do find myself texting a lot less if that counts, and I don't exactly tell everyone what's deep in my mind anymore...due to my own reasons including but not limited to bad past experiences. Anyways, if you've noticed anything like this worry not, the world isn't coming to an end. I'm completely normal :P


I think that's about all I've got, soooo until next time... Go go gadget download.
