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.
