Blank?


Well it's been a few days since I've actually done a full update about what I've been up to... and although I don't feel like writing that much, I think I'm going to force myself to spit some of it out, just so no one yells at me for not updating enough... not that a lot has been going on, quite the opposite... my days are more or less the same, with last night being an exception, and the updates just wouldn't be different, quite pointless... so, let's see what I can manage to write. It won't be interesting, it'll be random, most likely out of chronilogical order but you bastards won't complain, because... because... bah. That's why. bah. It's hard to write sometimes (now being one of them) and it's hard to get stuff out of me... but I feel I need to.. so bare with me. I'll probably write a bit, then go back and fill in a bit more extra crap to make the paragraphs longer, but you, the innocent reader will never know, as I'll mostly update it once I think it's been udpated to satisfaction! aaaand, here we go.

The last few days (since my last real update pretty much) have been spent playing games. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, which I've got about half way through and am enjoying immensly.. it's got everything I loved about Ocarina of Time (the gameplay, the story) as well as continuity (visiting old Ocarina locations) and tons of hidden things to find and you just never run out of things to do. To anyone that enjoyed Ocarina of Time, I highly recommend the Wind Waker because it's got everything you'd have loved. I've also been playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past on GBA, which I've been playing on an off for about an hour at a time, usually on the bus or while Emily is on the consoles... I'm just finished the second dungeon. Even though I've played through the game (the classic SNES game) a hundered times, it's still fun to play through and find everything all over again... sure, some of the fun of exploring and figuring things out is gone, as I know the whole game off by heart, but there is just something fun about it... I think that's the sign of a good game, if you love playing through it over and over again, regardless of knowing everything already. Also, I played the original The Legend of Zelda for NES and Zelda II: Adventures of Link. Both I haven't got very far in, but were great fun to play, as I remember I used to play them sooooo much as a child. Sooo much Zelda goodness! So, between Zeldas, Emily and I are enjoying playing through Final Fantasy X, which Emily is loving for the first time through, and I'm completely in love with the story AGAIN, along with noticing all the hints and foreshadowing they throw in about characters and story elements. It's awesome.. so awesome.. words cannot describe it's awesomeness. SO AWESOME. This time through the game though, I'm not building up my characters, so each fight and boss fight is a challenge, which is much different than the first time I played through, which I was so built up, that I killed the last boss in one hit from Tidus. aaaand, Emily has been playing through Final Fantasy 6, the greatest game in the history of all games ever... and although she hasn't mentioned anything on her journal about it, she's loving it too... it's fun watching some parts of it, because I know the game so off by heart, I actually know every line of script, and it's just fun seeing it in action again, for the five hundereth and sixty third time. It's fun to watch because I've got the game down to such a science, it's fun seeing someone freshly exposed to the game play through it.. to see when she does things, how she does things, which parties she forms and the such.. yeah, I'm a nerd, but who cares. So... as you can see... lots of gaming. LOTS OF GAMING. So much in fact that both Emily and my own backs are becoming increasingly sore as the days go on from our poor video game posture and the such... hehe. We're such losers... but at least we smile.

So I had my interview at Value Village and it went pretty well.. I was a bit nervous but was pretty much myself, which may or may not be a good thing, who knows. I know they aren't looking for honesty, they're looking for specific answers that everyone knows, which I think is retarded bullshit because everyone knows they're just completely full of shit but they expect the answers anyway. Bah.. the whole fucking system makes me sick. I wish I could be free of it... blah. but anyway, last night I was hanging out with Kate and Dana and they said they were going to go out of their way to talk to the guy about hiring me and try to convince him to do so no matter what, so I feel pretty good about that... *crosses fingers* I fucking need a job dammit. I think I could live with what they'd have me do at Value Village. Stock the racks, do cash, help customers, and just make sure that there aren't stale clothes on the racks or horrible clothing no one would ever want in a million years. I really do hope I get this job, as it would quite litteraly change my life... Although I'm happy with my life right now, I'm not quite happy with my finanical status, as I can't even go out to enjoy 80's night because I can't even get enough cash to cover the $2 cover charge, and there's no way I can afford a drink or anything, so going out just isn't that much of an option, and it would just be much more fun if I didn't have to rely on others to get me in and buy me a shot or two... hopefully things will change soon... I really hope so.

Last night I went to The Rage will my Ally.. who I hadn't seen in forever, so it was nice to hang out... she looked like a princess! We lounged around at The Rage with her friend Richard, who turned out to be a total bore (if you are reading this Richard, I don't want to get high with you, okay?), but Dave showed up (who hit on me quite a bit.. haha, silly Dave) and Kurt showed up. Kurt was quite drunk as he had attended a party beforehand, so when he came up to me and said, "Man, I'm drunk!", I simply replied, "awesome, get me drunk then!" to which he replied with a stare, pointed at me and yelled "TEQUILA!!" and then pointed at Ally too. Then he took us to the bar and bought as all a shot of tequila, haha. Kurt rocks, he's my barbarian. Anyway, the night was a weird one for sure... everyone seemed to be extremely horny and hooking up, everyone left without saying goodbye to anyone, BUT, they played Epicenter AND Dark Angel by VNV Nation, which just totally made my night. It went pretty late, and Ally and I walked to Wendys once it was over, where we proceeded to consume burgers in great haste (as any drunkard would) and then caught a cab to Allys where I quickly fell asleep on the futon/couch contraption, which is always used as my bed there.

I was awaken by a mix of Ally, Kirsten and a dog, and whatever else was going on at the time, but my sleeping pills were still in heavy effect so I couldn't stay awake and Ally just told me to sleep and she'd play Zuma or something, so I didn't put up any resisitence and sorta fell over and slept more. When I woke up again, I awoke to a conversation Kirsten and Amos were having about how Amos should eat a penis, and since I was the only other pesron in the area with a penis, they were calling for my services, to which I quickly declined, as I'm not sure I know where Amos' mouth has been. Anyway, after I laid around becoming full awake, I sat around in Kirstens room hanging out with her and Amos and Ally, just talking about cookies, Amos being a 'fag baby' and various other things. Eventually we ended up watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and Ally had a shower. Once she was ready, we headed to the bus stop about a twenty minute walk away and I was on my way home, ta da!

When I got home, beautiful Emily (as seen below) was playing Final Fantasy 6, so I laid down beside her and ate my pizza and drank my Dr. Pepper... and we've pretty much been doing the same thing for the rest of the night... and I guess that leaves me up to date, as far as what I've been doing goes. I've tried really hard to write as much as I can and it's not 11:32, pretty much a full two hours from when I started writing this shitty update, and I just have to stop or I'm going to start crying because of how pathetic my writing is. Farewell for now all.

I'd like to state for the record that Richard is not my friend.
