Assorted Heroes Make For a Freaking Good Day

Today was a really awesome day. It was perfect: movies, friends, food, and video games.It started with Transformers. Josh picked me up at 10:10; we got to Robby's house at 10:25. All according to plan (Josh planned out the whole day, with really precise times). However, we spent a half hour at Robby's cause he wasn't ready. He had to put on pants to come to the door. So our plan of seeing Transformers at 11:30 died. We saw it at 12:30 instead. The movie was AMAXING. It was so much more incedible than the first one. I don't want to give much of anything away, but the action is much better than before. You can actually discern between attacks and robots. It's not just a whirl of metal like last time. Plus, there is a ton of humour. I was laughing my ass off at some parts. Seriously, the movie was half comedy, half action. It worked really well. Though there are some parts than made me (and everybody else) go "O_O...ewww". Oh, and there's a new hawty introduced (but not permanently). Isabel Lucas, who plays Alice, aka "the Succubus" to me, is just as hot as Meagan Fox. Dear god, it's astounding. I could feel my body melt into one very rigid form. Those two can destroy any girl's self-esteem just by walkig in the room. How can anyone be beautiful compared to those two? Actually, I know two.

After the movie, we had planned on going to Super Play for bowling/lazer tag, but ravenous hunger won out and we went to McDonalds. And anyone who lives in PSL knows that this afternoon, it was pouring buckets. It had been raining for barely 5 minutes when we got to McDonalds and it was raining crazy hard. Just running to the overhang from Josh's car got us soaked. Of course, Josh had to lock his car and then he ran the long way to the restaurant. Haha, he got his revenge when we left. He pulled up and as we ran to the car, he locked the doors. So we were banging on the windwos, getting soaked until he finally unlocked the doors. I swear he would have fallen out of his seat laughing if he wasn't buckled in and his door closed.

At Tamir's house, I got a cool demonstration of Prototype. It's a really cool game. And after that, we played football. I didn't do half-bad. I got a cut on my elbow when Josh squished me into Tamir's house. I had one moment of athleticness. (I know, I was shocked too). I escaped from between Josh and Tamir, cuaght the ball, escaped Josh's ensuing tackle, and scored. Haha, I know, it couldn't have been me. But it was!

After football, we had awesome pizza. It was so good. And then we settled into Left4Dead. We played every campaign without stopping. It was awesome. Espicially when I decided to have a "Kill Bill" moment, or when Josh got RAPED by the zombies in No Mercy's finale, or when Tamir somehow escaped with his life while everyone else died in a repeat of No Mercy's finale, or when Robby abandoned everyone, got killed, but was brought back to life by Josh who had only 1 hitpoint left and no more incaps left, or when Robby and I tricked Tamir into jumping off a cliff. It was intense. After L4D, we were outside talking when we decided to have an impromptu game of tag in the night streets. I chased Josh all the way down the street but gave up when he ran into a pitch dark section. Kid can run when he thinks somebody is following them.

(I felt this picture applied cause we're so similiar but different. Although there's only 4 of us, if you count a missing Landon, that's 5. =p)

Keep the Darkness at Bay With the Light of Violence

I'm not gonna lie: this picture looked way better on my TV. Everything was blacked out except for the glow from the SMGs. Consequently, did you know that when you go frame by frame through dual-wielding SMGs, they never fire at the same time? Yeah, kinda frustrating when you want them both to be firing but oh well, I think I did alright with just one.

So Alexa and I are on talking terms again. It makes me so happy. She's like my older sister and I care for her like a sister. I still owe her a really good apology. But I've got to wait. I don't want to do it now, when she's expecting it cause it loses some of its value. It's got to come out of the shadows, with a yell and karate kick. But yeah, it's really cool to be talking again. Although...she did bring up the topic of who I'm currently interested in. I barely got out of that one. She knows me really well, and I can bet you the next time she brings it up (there's no way I'm gonna); she'll be able to get the name out of me.

Wednesday is Transformer! Woo! I'm so excited for it. And hopefully, if things work out how I want, I'll be seeing it on Wednesday with Josh, Tamir, and possibly Landon. And then, we'll prolly go to Tamir's house and hang out for the afternoon. *sigh* I'm gonn miss that Jew.

A Plan of Action....Maybe

I'm very satisfied with today. I talked to Alexa for the first time in at least a month and a half. It wasn't anything serious, just some light-hearted banter. Things are still kinda awkward I think. But it's looking up. On a note of coincedence, just last night, I was telling Robby how I haven't talked to her in forever. Funny how things turn out sometimes.

Grr, sometimes I wish life could be more simple though. Sure, talking to Alexa is nice. But she's a friend, and to be frank, it'd be nice to have someone who's more than a friend. I kinda wish I could just go "Hey, I'm interested in you". But I can't do that. Fear of rejection, mainly. I mean, I dunno if she even likes me more than a friend. Plus, I've got a sneaking suspicion that she knows, or has a feeling. Agh, life is...confusing.

Stuck in a Rut....Literally

I've started to get my summertime pattern down. Staying up until 1ish. Waking up at 9:30ish. Playing videogames all day. I'm so grateful I can still do that. Thinking that my 360 was broken was the most horrible feeling ever. It was like my mom and dad died at the same time. (For anybody who's like "No Tim. You don't know what it's like", I was using hyperbole. Jeez.) But it came back and I'm eternally grateful...until the next generation comes out and the 360 gets sold/dumped. Although I think I may just put my 360 up in a closet and show it to my grandchildren. Show them their roots. Haha, I think I'd be an awesome grandpa. Assuming I get married and have kids. And my kids get married and have kids. That's some pretty big ifs if you ask me.

WOO FREAKING HOO!

Today was a really good day. For two reasons. 1. I turned in my WLP. Major relief. No more work for a good while now. Summer has fur sure started. I actually feel a bit sad for Mrs Norris. It took me a couple days to write one paper. She has to spend at least a month looking over 100+ papers. Oh well, that's IB. 2. (and most important) MY 360 LIVESSSS!!! I don't know how, but it's working. It's a like a zombie/Jesus...or a zombie Jesus! And I wouldn't have found out if it wasn't for my kitty's butt. Yeah, one of my kitties sat on my controller and I shoved him off, thinking "Uhg...I don't even want to look over". Eventually I did, but not purposely looking to see if it was working. I just glanced over and 'lo and behold, it was working! I screamed like a little girl and would have started dancing if I didn't have an essay to finish.

I'm also feeling really conflicted. On two things. (Cause I never like to keep things simple and have only one problem). First thing is reviving an old friendship. I kinda wish I could use a Phoenix Down and make everything better, but that won't work. With my 360 back, I sorta feel like maybe it could happen. But I also feel like she prolly doesn't want to talk to me ever again. She told me once that she loved me as a brother...but perhaps those feelings have died. I know I love her. But not as I used to. I feel like she's my lost, older sister. As much as shit as she gave me, she also made me really happy. Friends like that don't come around that often and it rips my heart apart to know that I'm responsible for its destruction. But hopefully it can be reconstructed. I just need to take the initiative, get some courage.

Sometimes It's Like I'm in Quicksand

So yesterday was perhaps the most devastatingly sad day of my life. My 360 got the red ring of death. And yes, the name aptly describes the effect. My 360 is dead, permanently. I have to either send it in to Microsoft or buy a new one. But I don't a new one. My 360 carries an emotional weight very few, if any, 360s have. My 360 represents hope, love, my faith in God. If you knew how I got my 360, you'd understand.

Yesterday was supposed to be a good day too. I got almost all the dogs back from the kennel. Just Mister and Sammy are still out. It was a joyous reuniting, filled with much face-licking and belly rubs. It's so good to have them back. They're prolly the only ones keeping me sane for now. I have a long-term solution. I'm turning to PC gaming for the time being. But I promise you, I will have my 360 back in time for ODST. I'm not missing out on that game.

Also, I feel like a jerk/idiot. I got an IM from someone that I haven't talked to in a while and I ignored it. Didn't even notice it. And I was 2 feet away from my computer. I seriously didn't hear anything. I guess I was too engrossed in the game I was playing. (the 1 vs 100 beta, it's really fun). Maybe I was out of it from the cold (which I still have, yay...). But despite the reason, the fact remains that I missed out on a valuable opputurnity to patch things up. I sent the person a message of apology....nothing. It's like I don't even exist to them. But I'm still hopeful. I really want/need this friendship back. I don't have much left, and it would be great to get something back.

Back From Gainesville....With a Disease

But not a disease that causes my to grow a horn, lol. Seriously though, I managed to pick up a cold in Gainesville. Cause I'm epic. And it's one of those really wears you down colds. Like I've sneezed so hard I could have prolly hit myself in the back of the head with the snot. And the coughing is horrible too. Hopefully, it'll be over soon. I've had it since Friday...and it's almost Tuseday, so it should be over soon.

Anyways, sickness aside, I had a pretty cool half-week. UF is a really cool campus. I get a really good vibe from the place. And I got to stay at a donkey farm. XD I love donkeys. Actually, I just love animals. Dogs rank highest on my list. They've been my companion since I was 6, and I'll have a dog with me on my deathbed. That reminds me, someday I'll have to write about my dog biography.

Ok, I'm going off track. Alrightttt...highlights of Gainesville: took a tour of UF, played an epic game of hide and seek, visited a teaching zoo...got stalked by a peacock. It was WEIRD. Everywhere I looked, there was the same peacock glaring at me from a tree.

OH! I think I've finally figured out my college plan. I'm gonna go tour UCF and see how much I like it there. If it wows me to death (which I doubt), then I'll go there. If it doesn't but it doesnt repulse me, then I'll apply to both UF and UCF and wait until spring to make my decision. If I'm lucky, only one will accept me and I won't have to make a decision. Bam! That's what I like to call some college planning. XD
