I'm really starting to get tired of being wrong about everything all the time.

7:41 pm - Halloween
No, it's not halloween yet, just figured it'd make a good title.

I haven't been up too much, still deciding what i'll be for the senior munch dress-up. That's pretty much it...Oh, CoV is awesome and I was playing the stress test, but that didn't even sate my hunger for the jawesome game that is City of Villains. So I pre-order this bad-ass from Gamestop in person assuming they'll mail a bonus disk that will let me into the beta. I was wrong, though, You have to go into the shop to get it. Garrett was kind enough to take me to Gamestop and we got the bonus disk and DragonBall Z Tenkaichi (Which is hard as fuck.) Unfortunately, having filled out everything that needed be, I still have yet to receive the Beta email allowing me to actually play the game. So i'll keep my fingers crossed on that one.

Kthxbi peoples.

P.S: Tenkaichi is really pissing me off, between the unorthodox system and ultra hard opponents, I think this game is too good for me.

10:05 pm - MMORPG
Alright.

My WoW account died for some time, unfortunately it died right before one of those big patch updates releases and sends players rushing from all accounts to play. Yeah, I was one of those idiots, I took Garrett's credit card and charged nineteen dollars. Now, that may not seem like much to me, but apparently when I get older I'll have to pinch every penny if I plan to get anywhere in live (Yet another reason I fear getting older.)

So I log onto WoW to try out the new Battlegrounds (After taking a beat down and aggrivated yelling from Garrett.) thinking it'll be a fun time between the horde and the alliance. WRONG. If we actually spoke rather than typing online, it would have been an orgy of screaming morons, "GO THIS WAY NO OVER TAKE THE MINE STUPID LOL STUPID GROUP." Of course, this wouldn't stop me just because it was my first game, No, not at all. So I try again, this time with a group that's been thought out, our strategy seemed solid, it took an hour to form the group. We lost in less then six minutes.

So, after that I just walked around Ironforge, trying to get groups to places that were "Inferior" to battlegrounds and other dungeons. Of course, I would gather about nine people and the last person would never be found, thus, dooming the entire group. After about six of these groups, Chase came in my room saying something about what I was doing and why I was pissed, and now I figured out why. I hate WoW, but like my Mother said, "It's part of being Bi-polar." So basically, my hate for this game might not even be real, in fact, this whole journal could just be a part of me being BiPolar.

I hate WoW, I keep trying to get it away and it keeps pulling me back in costing the money of my family and the good time of myself.

You win this time, MMORPG.

P.S: What really sucks, is that I'm still playing it right now. Damn you WoW!

4:38 pm - OH SHI-
Hey D00ds. I don't update this much, I probably won't update it for like, a year, after I make this update. So yeah, Senior year feels pretty good, Five periods is fun stuff which I've embraced quickly, I got Mr. Gitthens for English this year, anyone else get this ancient guy? He's pretty cool, Chase calls him angsty, but we all know Chase doesn't say anything positive, atleast not while people are watching.

My art hasn't progressed much, I still revere a large print of Distorted's head as my greatest piece ever made, but that was done last school year, on the last day of school even. At registration for Senior year I asked to get the class drawing. You'd think that a class called drawing would just be drawing, right? Wrong. It's just exploration art all over again, given a fancy name to confuse me, so I arrive there first, on the first day and my art teacher asks me to be his aid. Now, if you become an aid for art, you happen to get the credit for the art class only by hanging up pictures and making attendance trips to the office, to many this is a blessed position because art can be taken instead of a language at foothill, and people would rather draw a pretty picture than take a class with excessive homework and tests. So, yeah, I accepted it but unfortunately I sacrificed the chance to improve my art skills. This is bad, because I don't know what the hell i'm doing once I get out of Highschool, I keep making statements like, "I'll go to art college" but imagine what that would be like? Surrounded by artists that have been drawing or painting their entire lives while I've only started...What was it, Freshmen year? I think i'm either a poser, or I've too little to do.

Speaking of too little to do, my World of Warcraft account recently died, so Chase really did cut the payment off after all. It doesn't mean much, just means there's an MMO that didn't swallow my grades, and soon after Chase gave me Fable which is currently eating my time now, I'm worried as to what I'll do once I get bored of Fable. WoW was fun, and I feel guilty because I know Chase and Garrett would have appreciated it more if they played for a little while longer, Why? Well, for one, Chase decided to become a Warlock and for those unfortunate people that have played as one of these mage rejects, knows that it takes much longer to get somewhere as a Warlock then say...a Rogue. Secondly, Garrett decided to be a Paladin, nothing wrong with paladins, they're gods, but they're also the best PvE class, which means they could solo the entire game without any contact at all. Third; end game content, yeah, I know, WoW sucks when you get to sixty, but unlike CoH, you can do stuff. When you hit fifty in City of heroes, it's nearly over, all that's left is power leveling another weird alien character that looks like flying sperm. Finally, what I think would have helped Chase and Garrett continue playing WoW, was if I wasn't so god damn retarded, when I transfered over from CoH to WoW, I didn't know a damn thing, and I hate reading gaming manuals therefore I didn't know how to play at all, which made the game play for Chase and Garrett very annoying and uncomfortable.

At the moment, Fable had dulled me, so I'll bug Chase for a little while.

P.S: I really want to make a Henshin Squad game, or cartoon, or both.

Trying to work on my Flash MX skills. Wish me luck.

Golden Eye Rogue Agent isn't that cool, at all.

Prince of Persia 2 was highly appreciated.

And finally, World of Warcraft is good. Though I still miss the days of the Henshin Squad.

Yep.

6:14 pm - Stuff
Not even December but I was hanging up christmas decorations for school today. It's not that I hate the whole Christmas commercializm thing, I actually like it, but I don't think people should go so overboard. As far as recent stuff goes I've been finding a lot of music online that i've been searching for, this includes the Budokai soundtrack, The Metal gear Solid 3 soundtrack and several others. I've been getting Chest pains recently, mostly when I wake up in the morning, I don't sleep in an odd position or anything I just wake up feeling like crap, which sucks because it doesn't leave me time to eat anything which really messes me up in earlier classes. (Fruity Pebbles/Coco Pebbles are the best Wake-me-ups.)

3:19 am - We Don't Go To Ravenholm
No we don't, but we DO play Half Life 2.

Half life 2 is probably the greatest sequel i've played in this month/months of sequels, despite not having played Halo 2, which I heard has a crappy ending from the critics over at Machall. I enjoyed nearly everything about Half Life 2 aside from the fact it ended short, but then Chase reminded me that there will be five million mods coming out, some I will hate, most I will enjoy. For those of you wondering what to look forward to in Half life 2, well, i'll make a list.

1. Awesome with a J (That would be Jawesome) graphics.
2. The most adorable and friendly head crab you'll ever meet, Lamar (If that's how you spell it.)
3. Vorgonauts swearing at eachother.
4. And finally, A gravity gun that allows you to pick up saw blades and cut zombies in half.

The list COULD go on, but you don't want me to rant forward.

Today (Yesterday) is (was) Thankgiving, it was good but it didn't really have the Holiday cheer that my father brings, not too much celebration, but it WAS annoying baby cousinless, so huzzah!

The best part of this day would probably be the fact that I found the entire Dragon Ball Z Budokai soundtrack, that, and i've realized that the graphics on Budokai 3 are so perfect, that it almost looks like the anime.
