A Blast From The Past

     So last night I started playing a game on PS2 I haven't played in forever called "X Squad". I remember I rented it once upon a time from Blockbuster and at the time I thought it was pretty awesome. My mistake was wanting to play on the hardest difficulty as soon as I started it up. This game... is from the year 2000. On the hardest difficulty, you get shot four times and you're done, then you start over again from the very beginning of the mission.. ugh. So I eventually gave up and started over again on the easiest difficulty instead.

     Now I consider myself to be a pretty good gamer... on PC. I'm not so great with controllers and things; they feel weird to me. Plus, this game is so old that there isn't really any sort of way to be awesome at it. So I don't feel ashamed in any way that I'm playing through this game on easy. Who knows... maybe I'll play through it again on harder difficulties later if I figure something out about how to play better... or maybe I'll just play through it the one time because I have it and I'd like to say I've completed it.

     In any case, playing a game I haven't played for so many years really brings me back to my childhood. Apparently I've played much better games than this... but hey, it's a working game and I might as well start finishing some games. I have lots of them and I would really like to find the time to do just a little bit of something for me every once in a while, yet still spend enough time doing all the other activities I need to do. I don't quite know what I entirely need to do yet, but I'm settling in here and figuring things out. I think we're looking pretty good.

It's been so long!

     So I haven't updated my blog in like half a month now. I got so busy planning and taking care of Carley's birthday and searching for a new job that I just haven't really been able to do much of anything like this recently. I'm so sorry to anybody who enjoys reading about my thoughts and activities. I have missed doing this as of late.

     Carley's birthday was a huge success! She absolutely loved it! It makes me so happy to know that this most important birthday of hers went well. We stayed at a hotel and did all sorts of fun activities including somewhere around ten games of Laser Quest each. We're now members seeing as we find it so much fun that we would love to go quite a bit more often if possible.

     Following the success of the birthday, I spent the next little while figuring out and executing on a plan we made for myself to move back in with Carley. Seeing as we've been just a little bit short on funds recently, we figured it would be a good idea to move in together again. It'll be a great way to save money and a huge load of stress off of the both of us which can only help to move our relationship in the right direction.

     I've been learning a lot about Carley including how to handle her and help her when she's feeling stressed. We've also learned how to communicate much better than before. Things are looking pretty good. Obviously we're still a little bit stressed at the moment, but that should go away once the last of the moving is done. I have my little computer space all set up as evidenced by the fact that I'm sitting here using it. All we have left to do is get things into our storage space.

     Go out and be awesome everybody! ^_^
