And the Weight Falls Away

Feeling really good right now, for various reasons.

Got a new, really good computer and got it CHEAP. $1600. Yeah, so cheap is a relative term, thats only a PS3, a 360, a Wii, and 5-7 games. Anyway, my faith in PC gaming might be coming back. The fact that I will now be able to play Shadowrun and Halo 2 has taken a big piece out of my desire to get a 360, but Gears is still lurking, and Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata (wait, there's fighting in it! Where'd the music go! WTF! actually i like it better that way) are upping my interest, and then there's bioshock...hmm. Well, I'm happy w/ the PS3 now and Motorstorm is fun as hell. I need to get some of the Devil May Cry games, but I need to work on God of War for now. Oh, and shit--I'm actually gonna be able to play that big ole stack of games that've been waiting on top of my computer for attention.

Went and saw 300 w/ the group and that was a lot of fun especially because it was only part of the group, sans the members that tend to cause issues and distress. Thoroughly kicking myself in the balls once more for my own stupidity last fall which was accutely underscored tonight...we'll just have to see how things go, but just when you think you're done...you're not. At least 8th grade stayed in middle school. Talked to Jenny yesterday, though--that was fun, I guess she was sorta surprised by it though. I'll have to say hi to Rya next time I see her.

Lacrosse practice yesterday as well; didn't die like I did the first time, and I'm not the shittiest player there either, so that's nice.

Oh, back to 300--it was awesome, and the fact that I played God of War right before going to see it had me in the perfect mood. I think that fact that Caryn leaned over at one point and commented "in a weird way, that's really beautiful" in reference to some dude getting diced and blood spewing everywhere really sums up the appeal of the movie. Needless to say, I was squirming in my seat like a little school girl getting a new, fuzzy kitty. Never mind that old Fuzzy is sitting in the other room with a malignant cancer eating away at his face (yes, I love health class). That was part of the metaphor too, in case you were wondering--figure it out.

Let's see...went shopping w/ mom yesterday and..gasp, I got blue jeans...for the first time in, oh, 10 years of so. Only 2 though, in addition to some awesome new converse shoes that aren't the stereotypical piece of crap ones and three shirts--green eggs and ham, nirvana, and a pacman one that is also subtle reference to something...or not so subtle. Kinda like the new clothes, but the jury's still out on the new look.

Umm...on the dating front, things are not so good. In fact, a full retreat due to inclimate weather has been issued, but never mind that. The sun may decide to show up, and if not we can always move somewhere else. Jesus, what's up w/ all these conceits tonite? I'm sorry, it is nearly midnight afterall, and I do have a Brit Lit essay to work on tomorrow.

Got good grades for the quarter, happy a/b that.

So...basically I'm happy b/c everyone hung out together and had a great time. Makes me hate school and actually gives me some motivation for getting my driver's license.

Still no progress w/ writing. My little Halos short story died b/c I had no idea what I was doing with it, though it was nice just to write something different. I don't know that I have the time or the will to write a whole lot any more. Oh well.

I'm leaning toward not doing WCATY this summer, just to have time to play games, write, and hang out w/ my friends. I really like how that plan's sounding, actually. But then again, it really was fun last summer...Ugh...this is gonna be a hard decision.

Night everyone. Egad. This might actually be read by someone, b/c apparently someone actually found this. Dear god this could be trouble.

PS - more DoTS!
