Hrm, yeah, so...School's all chipper and whatnot, and the weekend was rather fun. But now I feel like I'm wading through an overwhelming sea of teh Awkwards. Hopefully I can just move past it, 'cause I'd really not like this to turn into a redux of 8th grade...God, but it definitely feels like it already. I hope not. But it still feels like it. Oh well, if nothing else I hope I can be a little more resilient than I was then. But I'm not worrying about that right now; I'm more concerned with getting past what I hope is just a little rough spot. Not even rough, really, just awkward. Or maybe I'm just blowing this all out of proportion.

Happy Birthday to Me
So, yeah....It's odd, the first time since about 5th grade that anyone is even aware that it's my birthday, and it seems that just about everyone that I'm even vaguely friends with knew about it. Nice, really, just not something that I'm used to. I'm certain you can blame Facebook for the vast majority of the awareness and thus the spike since last year. I didn't really need Nikki and Pablo assaulting my hair, but that's a small price to pay. The sign that Katherine made made my day, honestly. Dealing with the 19 (a lot for me) birthday-related wallposts was rather daunting, but whatever.
I made off like a bandit - tons of CDs that I will barely be able to get through by the end of the week, thus it will be a while before I can formulate a full opinion of all of them. The Treble Charger one is decent, and I like the Third Eye Blind CD. Beyond that, I haven't even listened to any of the others, but that'll come. I also scored the AoE III expansion, the Orange Box, World in Conflict, and Personna 3. The last one certainly wins that best box award - it was stuffed with an art book, a CD, and a massive manual in addition to the actual game. I was actually planning on playing it a little, but the internet and the plethora of Call of Duty 4 reviews/Facebook washed out any chance of that. I really ought to be going to bed soon...I like this whole being awake during school thing. Personna 3, interestingly, chews up 67 MB of memory...year, MB, as in megabites - ie, nearly 7x as much memory as a single PS2 memory card holds. I suppose PS2s with harddrives are available in Japan, but anyone in the US who doesn't have a PS3 is basically screwed. So, for this game, at least, I feel like the early adoption paid off. I put in a run as the Japanese on AoE III and enjoyed it, but it's going to take a long time to get a feel for any of the three new civs.
Oh, I suppose I need to scrounge up movie times, seeing as how I somehow didn't get turned down today. That was pretty much the cherry on top of an already excellent day.
