Excessive

I'm alone and attempting to pass the time, and I can't seem to get into SSX On Tour, as all the events and shreds that I have left to do are either Pro-Master or Legend (the two hardest difficulties) so I just end up trying them and getting really frustrating and having less fun than if I was just stabbing myself in the stomach, so I tend not to play as much lately. To pass the time, I made supper and watched an episode of the 1987 series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the cartoon) and I ended up watching a couple of those.

I haven't been this upset inside for a very long time. Although I've been doing alright at getting myself to feel okay, usually at that point something else happens that makes me sink right back down.

blah blah blah, worst day ever.

I've decided that today is going to be a good day. I've also decided I'm going to play a lot of games... specifically I want to play through Halo and Halo 2 again because it's been a long time since I've done that, and I've asked Michelle if she'd like to play through it co-op with me, and she said yeah, so that'll be what I'm doing.

So I finally got around to completing all 18 holes of Monkey Golf 2 without getting bored halfway through and stopping, and I got the number one high score with... 94 or something.. I don't remember at the moment.

I've owned the Super Monkey Ball for years, it was one of the first games I picked up for my Gamecube back when I had first got it, and Emily and I picked up Super Monkey Ball 2 shortly after we had moved in together (because we saw 'Monkey Tennis' on the back of the case and decided to buy it based just on that) and while I don't obsess over the games, or even really think of them that much, it just sort of occurred to me the other day that Super Monkey Ball is one of the only games that I actually go back to and play on a frequent basis. A lot of games you simply play and then shelf, rarely going back to them once you've had your time with it (like a prostitute), but every few months I throw in Super Monkey Ball 2 to play around in challenge mode, or trick one of my friends into playing Monkey Tennis with me. It wasn't until last night when I really noticed how it's one of my most played games, and yet I've never really 'got into it' in the sense of dedicating time to actually get skilled at the game. I could easily complete the Beginner level (10 levels) but the farthest I had ever gotten in Advanced (30 levels) was level 13, and Expert had always just been a joke because it was so impossibly difficult. I kinda just sat down last night and decided that I was going to be good at the game, so I played for a long time, and learned the levels, and how you complete them, and now I can get through Advanced without losing a life! My recent dive into Super Monkey Ball has only further reinforced my intention of picking up Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz at the same time as a Wii, simply because I know that it will keep me entertained over an extremely long period of time.

I woke up around 11am, and spent the day playing a bit of Super Monkey Ball 2 and SSX On Tour, but the majority of the day was just spent in front of the computer not doing anything specific.

I overslept a bit today... I had a bit of trouble falling asleep last night for whatever reason. I ended up playing a bit of SSX On Tour and then watching Conan and eventually attempting to sleep to music at around 6:00am.

Alright well, Ally did a survey and I haven't done one in probably a year and a half, so I figured I might as well since they're fun to do and some people enjoy reading them because you get tons of information with only having to read a tiny bit of things, so here:

Yesterday was the first snow of 2006/2007... I think.. the first one I noticed anyway, so that's good enough for me.
