For those of you who are bored enough to care...
Okay, so it seems like I've had a fair amount of free time lately, so I'll be making more frequent posts... Or at least I'll be reading a lot more posts since I really don't post all that often....you get the point (I hope). Anyways, I guess I should talk about some videogames here since I really haven't said much about that lately... Umm... Oblivion for the 360 is reaaalllllyyyyyyyy (emphasis on the yyyy) fun. I hope it'll hold me over for quite some time since I have to ration my videogame spending because I want to save up for a Wii... And without a job, that's kind of hard. Umm....I bought a PSP recently, along with Me and My Katamari and Daxter. Katamari is pretty fun, but I'm starting to get tired of it, and Daxter is moving along kinda slowly, so I'm sort of starting to regret the purchase. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now. I've been trying to convince my parents to buy my younger brother a DS Lite so that he'll stop using mine...it gets really annoying haveing to clean off the screen all the time. My dad's begining to realize how outdated our PC is (he's thinks that just because he updated it 3 years ago it's still top of the line), so I sense an upgrade in my future. I think that pretty much covers everything going on right now, so I guess I'll wrap this up now. Oh, if you have an iPod, you should subscribe to The Hotspot podcast...for a while there it was my only source for videogame news, and it was pretty substantial... Who knew that in an hour you could get most of the details about what's going on? So yeah. Goodbye, now.
I'm alive!
I'm just making this post because I have a little free time right now and to let you all know that I haven't ceased to exist - yet. Also, in my last post I said that I'll probably be able to be on more around May 6th... Well, that's going to have to be moved up until further notice. I've been roped into helping with 5 short plays at my school, so those'll keep me pretty busy. I've been really out of the loop for quite some time now, so if there are any must-have games that aren't for the PSP/PS2, just post a reply and I'll try and check back in a few weeks.
Busy busy bumblebee
Some of you might have noticed that I haven't been posting much lately... Basically we just finished up our winter play this weekend, so I've been staying at school until 6:00 every day for the past couple of weeks. Now we've started Beauty and the Beast and I'm ACC for Paint Crew, so I'm going to be pretty busy with that... Don't expect me to be on much until after May 5th...
Help! (PowerPoint)
I'm doing a project for school and I need to add a song that will play throughout the entire thing and not start over. Anyone know how? Thanks in advance!
Oh, and the projects due on Wednesday (1/11), so I need help soon!

I Love Christmas!
I got an Xbox 360 + King Kong + A subscription to GameFly today! I'm so freaking happy! I've played Kong for a little while and I have to say, it's not all it's cracked up to be... Hopefully it'll get more fun as I progress. \
I also got a several gift certificates, so I'll have to get a ride over to Best Buy/CompUSA and load up on stuff for the 360 (controllers, face plate, etc.)
Well, that's about it. I pretty much just posted to gloat about getting a 360.. I love my mummy!

Funny Letter
Haha...I was just playing Animal Crossing and one of the animals showed me this hilarios letter that they recieved...
"Dearest Peanut,
Your shins are like the finest stalks of celery, slathered generously with peanut butter and raisins.
Your Secret Admirer"
Yeah... I just thought I'd share it with ya'll...

Catch Up
Yeah, I kinda neglected my blog...
Anyways a little catch up on my games, etc. Item one on the agenda: Mario Kart.
I bought Mario Kart on the day it came out and it is awesome! A couple days ago when I was coming home from Williamsburg from a MUN Conference, I stared playing the only other kid on the bus who had a DS... I beat him in 3/3 Shine Runners battles and 9/9 races... Yeah, that was fun. I don't even know his name...heehee!
Next up, Xbox 360...
My wonderful mother went to 3 stores yesterday at midnight and was able to get on the waiting list at Wal-Mart... Numero cinco. Not bad, if you ask me. Unfortunately, she was in Florida visiting my grandmother, so my grandmother will have to be the one who picks it up and mails it to me. Oh well, at least I'll have a 360 before Christmas. As far as games for the 360 go, I really want Gun and Condemned... I don't like any of the sports or racing games, so that really narrows down my options. Why did they have to delay Oblivion? That looks awesome. Ah well... I can gloat to my brother now. I bet he wishes he hadn't gone off to college now since I'm going to be the one with the 360 and he's the one who is the Microsoft fanboy in our family.
Anything else that I want to talk about? Hmm...maybe a little ranting. Yeah...I'll do that.
Why can't people spell correctly? Why can't they use correct grammar? And when will those freaking abbreviations stop? i dont thnk nebody wil wnt 2 reed wat u hav 2 say if u type lyk ths do u no its dum and makes u luk lyk stupid we i gues ppl dnt cair if othr ppl hav lowe oppions of them Do you see how freaking stupid that is? It's so annyoing! You can't even tell where one sentace ends and the other begins because some idiots don't use freaking punctuation! I mean, come on! The sterotype for gamers is, simply put, they are all nerds. And what are nerds? Smart people who can spell, use correct grammar, and puncuate! Not idiots who failed 3rd grade english! GAH! So annoying!
I think that's enough ranting about how stupid people can be for now...
I can't wait for Animal Crossing DS! Or Christmas, for that matter... Or the 360... Or the Revolution... The one thing I can wait for is the PS3. Can't Sony at least come up with a catchy name? I mean, you have Xbox 360, Nintendo Revolution... and then PlayStation 3. Stupid.
Well, I think that's all I want to say for now. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with my blogging now and not have to make really long posts every six months...
Woo hoo! We sold our house!
Yeah, we finally found someone to buy our house. I get to move back to Virignia sometime in late August! And...no more constantly keeping the house clean!!!!!
Opening Night was Great!
We put on our first performance of Bye Bye Birdie last night, and it went great! We sold out, noone forgot any lines, and everybody was right on cue! I can only hope that tonight goes as well....
Opening Night's Coming!
Well, after 5 months of practice, we're finally going to perform Bye Bye Birdie! And yet, after all this time, I think that it wouldn't have mattered one bit to anyone if I had quit...oh well...it's kinda too late now...
Too...much...work!
I haven't been able to get online for about a week now and it's getting very annoying! My slavedriver of a mother is making me pack up most of our junk (with my brother helping out at little as possible) in order to get ready for putting our house on the market. I have to make this entry short because I'm only in the computer room to grab a garbage can to bring down to the basement, and my mom will start wondering where I've gotten off to. So with that said, talk to ya'll in a few weeks!
Why?
Why are there 25 highschools in the area that I'm moving to? And why did my mom decide that I have to research each one and decide which one to go to? GAH! I guess I should get started now...
Another Snowday...
Well, today we're having our 5th snowday this year. I kinda don't like having all of these snowdays because we already get out late enough. Now we'll be getting out of school sometime around June 28th. There are some schools around here who are completely getting rid of Spring break in order to let us out at the scheduled June 21st, but I rrrreeeeaaallllyyyy don't want to have to do that....ugh...
The Letter Z?
I have to make an Anne Frank alphabet book and I'm stuck on the letter z. It can have to do with Anne Frank, the Holocaust, etc... Can anyone help??
GAH! Stupid Internet!!!!
My internet's been acting up a lot lately, and it's been switching on and off all day. I can get maybe 15 minutes of online time before it goes off and I have to power cycle the modem then wait several minutes for it to come back. Neither my dad nor my brother can figure out what the problem is (we even tried a brand-spankin'-new modem). This is driving me crazy and I might just have to start going to the library and suffering through nightmarishly slow internet if this gets any worse.
Stupid Merge!
As most of you know, they have merged the DS and the GBA forums. This ticked me off, along with several other people. Our solution? We asked around for someone to make a forum and MrCHUPON gladly agreed to create one for us. If you wanna join, go to http://forums.gamespot.com/gamespot/show_topics.php?board=909103682 and post on the join list.!
Yey!
I finally found my WarioWare Inc. game...it was under my desk where the drawers were. I've been looking for it for about 1/2 a year, so this is a pretty big find. Unfortunately, WarioWare Touched! comes out on Monday...oh well.
On another note, I have to read the book Stargirl for English class. It doesn't seem too bad so far, but I don't exactly have high hopes. Has anyone else read it? If so, how is it?

Weird commercial...
Have you ever seen the commercial for Zelda: The Minish Cap? It's really creepy. The guy is just standing there, not blinking and not even moving his fingers while he begins to shrink and the surroundings change and he goes into a forest. You kinda have to see it to realize how creepy it is...
Ughhhh...
I think I'm sick again. I woke up this morning with a huge headache, and have had a runny/stuffy nose all day. I would have stayed home, but I had a big test in Social Studies that I didn't feel like having to make up. Unfortunately, I have Social Studies last, so I had to survive the entire day. I guess I'll go take another aspirin or something now...
Snow days and today
Well, Mon., Tue., and Wed. were all snowdays. We broke the record for snowfall in one month for the Boston area as of yesterday. I had to go back to school today, and it was extremely boring. Everything we were supposed to do was all messed up and people were pretty confused (although, I don't know why). I had play practice for Bye, Bye Birdie today - only our second (it was supposed to be the 4th) and found out that I also get to be in "Telephone Hour." Basically, I feel pretty unneeded. 8th graders are supposed to have the major roles, while the 6th graders have the small ones. Naturally, this year we get a new theater teacher and she doesn't do things that way, so I have 1 line and a bunch of 6th graders actually have characters with names (I'm the amazing "Girl's Voice"). Yeah...well, I'm done now....
