I am a major procrastinator.

Maybe I should write a blog about it. Nah, I'll do that later.

Yesh. Tagged by GamerJM, thanks bud

1. My name is Stephen and I was born in '93, the year the Jays won the World Series.
2. The only family I have in all of North America is an aunt and uncle in Vancouver. Otherwise, I have cousins in England, and all my grandparents and other cousins live in South Africa, where my parents were born.
3. Hockey, baseball, and golf are my favourite sports. I've played all three since I was six years old, but I'm not that great.
4. I've travelled extensively, from the Caribbean to Europe to South Africa. The only continents I haven't been to are Asia and Antarctica.
5. My major hobbies are video games and reading. My favourite books are the Discworld series, the Lord of the Rings, and the Bartimaeus Trilogy. I also like to write, and am working on-and-off on a book.
6. I go to a university prep school on Vancouver Island, and plan to attend university either in the eastern US or England. We'll see what happens.
7. I've had very little time to game since I started at the above school. it kinda sucks, but of course, it's worth it
8. I'm a mod at the Pokemon RP Midamis Region, which features an incredible Fakedex by Neoriceisgood
9. My favourite video games are Mass Effect, Fire Emblem, and Halo. I can't wait for Mass Effect 2.
10. I'm sad right now because the Vancouver Canucks just lost to the Detroit Red Wings.

I'll let you know who I tag.

I've got some interesting news, a bit different than my recent "wah, I can't play games!" blogs.

Yes, I've been infected with H1N1 and sent home from school. My dad drove all the way from our house and back to pick me up, a round trip of 16 hours, and I was able to sleep in my own bed last night.

I'm really glad that I'll be able to recover at home. It's much better for a variety of reasons. For example, you don't have to buy your own drinks, and the food is much, much better. I feel pretty terrible. I have a really bad headache, an awful cough, and my sinuses are all blocked, but supposedly the flu only lasts for four or five days at most and hopefully I'll be back to normal in no time. For now, I'm just happy to be home.

Hey guys. Just a quick update here, I have Jazz Band rehearsal in ten minutes.

Only one thing to talk about. I took advantage of this week's Steam deal: Civilization IV: Complete Edition for only $20. If bought seperately, the games would be $80. Normally the package is $40. I've been waiting for a sale like this, and have wanted the game for a long time, so I'm pretty excited about finally getting it.

The kicker is that I won't be able to play for two weeks. Steam is blocked by the Proxy server here (I boguht the game online), so I can't update Steam or download the game. I'll have to wait until mid-term break to download the game and set my Steam settings to play offline, but I think it's worth the wait.

That's all folks.

I've said some bad things about GameSpot's Greatest Video Game Hero competition. Yes, it hasn't been all that legitimate. But all that doesn't matter anymore.

Gordon is beating Mario in the finals.

Woot!

And this made it all the more sweet:
