Hello everyone! How's it going? Wooh! I beat GTA IV about two weeks ago, and I am recovering quite well. I was awfully scared there for a while. I stayed up the entire night once during my GTA addiction. That was a bit too much, even for me. As I said though, I beat it, and I am better now. I still have more to complete to get 100% though, but I'm going to take my time. So what now then? GAMING BONANZA TIME!!!!!

This is not a real event, except that I am making it up right now. If it's not copyrighted, yeah I'm copyrighting that now, consider it copyrighted, done! Anyway, what I'm talking about is a massive shopping spree for video games. Maybe you've done it before, well guess what now it's called a GAMING BONANZA. The all caps is essential to the "bonanzaness." There I just made up a word too. I'm going on one! A big one, whether my wallet likes it or not! I don't care. I need to fill this craving for games. So what I would like to do is tell you guys the games I'm thinking about getting, and maybe you could do me a favor and tell me what you think of them (if you have played them). Basically a "Yeah, definitely get it!" or a "It really wasn't that great." (with some explanation)

For the most part right now, I want to buy some games that were released a while ago as opposed to new releases. Hopefully, by the time I finish the older and cheaper games, the new releases' prices will have been reduced. Got to save all the $$$$$ I can if I want to go on a GAMING BONANZA. Some of these games I may already be sold on, but your opinions would really help me out.

?games I'm unsure of getting

$games I'm waiting for the price to drop

Nintendo Wii

No More Heroes, $Mario Kart Wii, $Super Mario Galaxy, $Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bully: Scholarship Edition, $Wii Fit?

Xbox 360

Crackdown?, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion("game of the year edition" worth it?), F.E.A.R.?, Hitman: Blood Money?, Mass Effect?, The Orange Box?, Saints Row?, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, $Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Fight Night: Round 3, Dead Rising, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare(is it worth it if I don't utilize the multiplayer because I hear single player is too short)?

Also, if you have any games that I have not listed that you highly recommend, please share!

Lastly, I would just like to say: "If you have not seen The Dark Knight yet, GO AND SEE IT! I saw it on opening day, and I really liked it. The joker has always been my favorite comic book villian of all time, let alone my favorite villian of any media of all time. Most villians have an agenda or goal (money, power/world domination, revenge, etc.), but not the Joker. That is why I love him. He has no reason to do the things he does, other than for the fun of it, to promote chaos. He's just so cool like that. His style, his lack of sanity, his poor sense of humor; He is simply the best in villiany. The movie was brilliant in my opinion. Lengthy, about 2 1/2 hours. Very, very dark (hey, it isn't call "The Light Night"). Tons of action, amazing action. Twists, turns. Overall, just a darkly fun sort of ride. So please, I would love to have your gaming opinions, and I'll let you know how the GAMING BONANZA turns out!

Why so serious? (see that movie!!!...seriously)

I have GTA IV. I am addicted. Don't try to save me. It's too late. Must go play......

Oh, oh yeah. Right, this thing...

Well you cannot call me a liar...I told you in the last blog (and probably every other one too) that I wouldn't write for a while. And what happened? Exactly that. Honestly though, I didn't think "a while" would be 6 months. So for that, sorry.

So basically I will just let you know what is going on now, rather than explaining the events of the last 6 months, that would not be fun for either of us, believe me! There's this thing called summer, and it's here apparently. I love it! Yay!

I plan on buying and playing so many video games it is practically absurd. Also, in about hmmm 5 days I plan on taking a plunge of sorts. I will be buying an XBox360. Gah!! And why? Three words and a roman numeral. Grand Theft Auto IV. I cannot wait! After I purchase that, I expect my life to wither away into stealing cars and killing people (in virtual reality of course!). In addition to that, I do no even have the energy to type the other games I will be buying. It's a lot.

So I hope all is well with you guys and gals. I plan on being more active now that I have my long-desired free time. So don't be shy, and I won't be either. For old times sake: Stay Classy.

Hey everyone! It's been a while. I'm going to do the consistently accurate and old time favorite excuse of "I've been busy" to explain for my as always more than likened absence from updating this blog of mine. It's the truth though. It's harsh to say but quite honestly in the grand design of my life this blog isn't exactly in the fore-front of my busy mind. Sorry for anyone who has a burning desire for me to blog, allow me to consistently cool it down with my ever-present laziness.

Pressing on...Happy Holidays! That's the politically correct thing for me to say, but in my case Merry Christmas! I'm not going to mash all sorts of the holiday names together to form one ginormous and completely unecessary mega holiday. Also, my birthday was 13 days ago, December 10th, for the mathmatically impaired. It was quite nice. Today, is actually Alison Sudol's birthday, so happy birthday to her, as if she reads this blog of mine, butstill in the very extremely small, unlikely, and insane chance that she does (happy birthday).

So with the holiday season comes...video games. Any slight gamer would know that much. Well in 2 days my brother, who is coming home for Christmas, and I will be recieving such gems for Christmas. He owns an XBox360 and I, a Wii. No PS3's for this family. It was either that or keep the house. I keed the PS3, but seriously I'm not willing to sell a kidney just yet. I know you can live with one, but I'm content with two. Again, I keed. Sony has dropped the price though, but I'm still not gonna get a PS3 anytime soon. I might actually buy a 360 in the near future possibly, but I am still very pleased with my Wii.

Forgive me, I digress...I pretty much already know the games that "Santa" will be giving my brother and I for Christmas, so I can give you a pre-Christmas forecast of the potential games to be recieved. For me: Guitar Hero 3, Manhunt 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Wii Zapper, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. I believe those are the canidates there. My brother: he's bringing his 360 and we'll be playing already released and already owned games: Halo 3, Gears of War, BioShock, etc. But the new-comers are: Assasin's Creed and Tomb Raider Anniversary. I'll let you know the exacts and impressions after the holiday.

So now I must be off to enjoy this wonderful festive season. Aside from the true reason of the holiday season, the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (maybe you've heard of him), it's a time to enjoy other things too: Family, friends, food, presents to give and to recieve, video games, movies, music, clothes, books, etc. Just some time to relax and to have some fun. So whatever holiday you're celbrating enjoy it! Have fun! I'll let you know about the games in my next in-all-likely-hood delayed blog entry. Until then, Stay Classy!

Hey everyone! The title speaks for itself, if the title could actually speak that is...Anyway just wanted to stop by and say hi, oh my, that ryhmes! I haven't been on here for awhile 'cause I've been extraordinarilly (I think that's a word, if not it is now) busy. I'm going to these modeling/acting classes on Saturday's now, which just adds to my already hectic life. I still have basketball conditioning, Fashion Advisory Board stuff, plus school alone is killing my precious time. Bahhh, oh well, I just have not a lot of time to myself now. But I did manage to have time to pick up "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" for my DS about a week ago. Great game! I've really enjoyed it. It keeps the classic Zelda handheld gameplay (actions/dungeons/etc.), and yet the inclusion of the nearly complete stylus control adds a vast sense of originality and creative difference for the ecclectic franchise. So far, with the time I've had to play it, I'm on the beginning of the temple of Courage part, and hopefully I'll have some time to play that later today. I'm very excited actually, I have today off! Three day weekend!!! Yahooooo!!!

Anyway, much, much, much, much, more excitingly.......I recently was blessed and honored with the chance of me meeting my hero!!!!!! The very lovely lady you see at the tippity top of my blog! I got to meet Alison Sudol, talk with her, get autographs and pictures with her, even got to hug her, after attending one of her concerts! It was absolutely amazing! Highlight of my life right there. If you haven'tchecked out "A Fine Frenzy" yet, you are sorely mistaken and unaware of the pure heavenly fantasticness of "A Fine Frenzy". If you can't tell, I'm abig fan, the biggest. How many people in their lives can say that they've met there hero? I can! I'm still in utter amazement of the whole thing. Well anyway, I'm off to enjoy some time off! Watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" last night. Very creative movie. I'll probably just watch another movie today and maybe some old Nip/Tuck episodes (one of my favorite shows, new season starts Oct. 30th, I'm excited but interested to see exactly how the move from Miami to Hollywood will work out...we'll see), play some Zelda, and just relax. Well, I will talk to you "cool cats" later, or maybe you're a hot cat, a luke-warm cat, possibly a moderately temperate cat? Well, whatever temperature of cat, actually you're not even cats at all, what a wierd saying when you think about it.....sorry for that, I guess I'll just say I will talk to you fantastic people later! Yeah, that works.

Stay Classy,

~Paige~
