Mood

Lost

So a couple people might have been wonderin' what the hell happened to me since Friday since I wasn't on the net since then and a whole lot of you might be like "You were missing?".

Firstly, my grandma was staying the week-end and took the guest room which has the computer in it, so no access for me and yesterday I had school and then work, which pretty much took my entire day.

So, onto the random, good stuff *cracks knuckles*

Had work yesterday and I was dreading it before. If you don't know, I work at Gamestop and was working at one that was sitting in a lot by Pet's Mart. Since there has been a shift in management, I was one of the few chosen to be moved to the store in the mall. I dreaded it before because I wasn't sure of the experience. Y'know... I was so totally wrong dreading it. Know why? Because my manager totally rocks and I get along quite well with the other people (atleast those I've met).

Oh yeah, guess what? Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas came out yesterday. That was fun, especially since it was delayed for hours. Kept answering phones like "Sorry, we won't have it til after 8pm" constantly. By 8pm, the store was PACKED with people just wanting the game and we were still waiting on it. So, one of us gets a good idea to just start ringing up people so they can pay for the game in full and when the game got there, they just give us the store credit slips, get the game and be out the door. Excellent idea and it made everything go so much smoother when the boxes came in. The people getting the game were nice too, which made it so much better. Although I *did* get a call from a mother that was angry because her son can only get $5 for Vice City now. I figure because of San Andreas coming out. That was fun.

I look forward to the Halo 2 launch, whee. William (manager) says if THAT shipment is delayed, he's quitting instantly .

Yesterday morning started out rough. It was going ok, but when I almost got in a terrible car accident on the freeway because of jackasses and traffic, it instantly went downhill. I had brought in my SegaSaturn for the class and I really wanted to show them NiGHTS. Guess what? I put in the disc and my Saturn refused to read it. Seriously sucked, although I was able to show them Astal as a back-up.

Some guy from the school came in and asked if I wanted to sell my Saturn. I said never, since I consider it my baby, being the first game console I owned. Now I just need to figure out why NiGHTS wouldn't run on it, especially since I played it not too long ago.

My classmates are plotting to get a group together to work on a game. We're design students, so we need to get in touch with some programmers. That'll be something fun and I hope we get it off the ground. We're planning something for PC, though we haven't thought of what genre yet because we want to discuss with the group.

I thought the Megaman X controller came out this month, but it's next month. Darn, another month to wait. I look forward to Kingdom Hearts: CoM and Megaman X8 as well.

I finally got Katamai Damacy. I've yet to play it, but I've seen it in action. It makes me wonder what is so fun about rolling around a ball to try and make it bigger and bigger... I wonder who was the one that came up with THAT brilliant idea. Still, I'm one to talk, since I got the game because for some reason I yearned to play it. Goodness, I've been infected.

I did go and finish everything with Megaman X: Command Mission so now everything is unlocked... now what? guess I move onto a new game. Sunday really sucked. I've been lusting after that mascot dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2 and all day I worked on getting all episode completes. I fought all the bosses needed and searched for all the items. Just when I think I got all episode completes, I realize that Mi'hin Highroad never got an Episode Complete. Why? Because when you pin the blame on Rin in his own investigation (even though it's a tough thing to do) you don't get an Episode Complete. Probably because when you expose him for his true intentions, it doesn't make you feel satisfied, especially when he says "Even if another incident occurs with the machina, I intend to cover it up". Dammit. It's not so hard, but the only thing that makes it REALLY sting about going through it all over again is that I have to fight that damn boss that shows up in the Bikanel all over again. It's not that he's a hard boss... it's that it's a LONG FRIGGIN BATTLE because the damn guy has about 333,999 something HP and it takes quite a bit of time to chip away at it. *Groan* Back to the drawing board.

Saturday was my sister's baby shower. It went well and she got lotsa stuff. I also got to see family members and friends I haven't seen in awhile. That was great. Jessica told me to call her and threatened me that if I didn't, she'd break into my house and tickle me to death (I'm really ticklish). I've yet to call her... so I have a deathwish, hee.

After the baby shower, I went and hung out with Matt because he was up here from San Diego this week-end. Had to wait til he got back from his eye appointment because he had broken his glasses this Tuesday and couldn't get them replaced til he came back up here this week-end. When I went over there, I guess he had to have his eyes dilated so he had to wear sunglasses in the house. We had some fun, I showed him the wonders of having everything in Command Mission unlocked and the final boss. We also traded souls in Megaman Battle Network 4 and fought a round against each other. I lost, bah. He then went back home on Sunday. I feel saddened because I miss my friend.

Yesterday my 20" Shadow doll came in the mail. He's huge, but goofy lookin. Now if only I could find a Zero plushie... I'm still waiting on Sonic comic issues #13 and #16, plus the free SiMs game I ordered by mail.

Today I woke up at 10am because Licorice, my kitty, insisted on biting my ear until I finally got up. Y'know, speaking of wake-up calls, it was rather disturbing Friday night at around 3am when my grandma accidently came into my room and grabbed my butt. I led her back to her room and locked my door promptly to avoid that happening again while she was here.

I've got a dentist appointment today, and I think I'll play a little Katamari Damacy before I go.
