  <description>My L button doesn&apos;t work on my DS anymore so I can&apos;t play Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia properly. I think I might get a new one. I&apos;ve also decided that that new Castlevania game will be my last purchase at GameStop. For a while, I&apos;ve grown not to like them. Now, I&apos;m incredibly annoyed. If anything, I&apos;ll get my games at Blockbuster (also where I work), Amazon.com, and some mom-and-pop stores. I just beat Gears of War 2 today so I will be moving on to Call of Duty: World at War (while I still have it for rental). Soon, I will be moving back to South Hadley. Hopefully, it&apos;ll work this time. This time, I don&apos;t have a brother to rack up my cellphone bill like he did the last time. Life is still quite exhausting for me. I&apos;m still surprised I didn&apos;t quit Price Rite yet.</description>

  <title>Shortened</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/6540.html</link>
  <description>My life as of late in short. I have two jobs. I lack sleep. I think Price Rite demoted me to greeter. I picked up smoking because of it. My social life continuously deteriorates. Little to no free time. I really want to be a girl for some reason. END.</description>

  <title>Familiar</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/6247.html</link>
  <description>Yesterday was probably one of the most awesome days I&apos;ve had in a long time. I went to my college to make a payment and to hang out with some of my old friends. Much to my surprise, I was welcomed back by a parade of people in RPG club, including some old high school friends who were starting off their first year and friends who&apos;ve already graduated but can&apos;t leave old memories behind (because they&apos;re sad people ((Bridget, Colleen, Spencer, I love you guys)). I forgot how happy I was in that place. It was one of the only public places I&apos;ve actually ever felt comfortable about myself as a person. We had an awesome time, I played PSP with Jose and Fern, and I played Kirby Super Star with Bridget and Ellis. I talked to Kim a lot. It felt as though I have never left. That place re-instated that nerd/geek pride that I withheld for so long, especially from living with my old roommate. That place knows who I am and what I&apos;m about. I can&apos;t wait to pay off that fucking school so I can come back. I missed them so much. That&apos;s where my true friends were. Well, most of them anyways. And some of my true friends don&apos;t go to HCC (either anymore or not at all), but I&apos;m pretty sure you know what I mean. I wish I stayed longer so I can talk to more people. Right now, I&apos;ll take what I can get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, my arms are fuck sore from weight lifting two days ago.</description>

  <description>I have two jobs. I live with my friend Alan now. I&apos;ve always been in love with one person. I will probably never meet that one person face to face. I have trouble sleeping. So this is what&apos;s it&apos;s like being an adult...</description>

  <title>Narrow Escape 2</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/5813.html</link>
  <description>I really hit the shitter this time. I owe so much money, it&apos;s not even funny. My cell phone bill ramped up to 420 dollars because of my retard brother (who shares my family plan). I know, all of you are going to tell me that I&apos;m stupid for even having him on there. &lt;b&gt;YES, I AM STUPID FOR THAT. THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME OF THE OBVIOUS. YOU GUYS ARE COOL.&lt;/b&gt; I also owe almost 600 dollars to the school. I haven&apos;t payed them because I didn&apos;t have a job for a while. I also never payed off my health insurance for a few months. Because of this, I moved back in with my mom. I&apos;m not happy about that at all. Then again, I would&apos;ve rather moved in with people I knew longer than a few months in my junior year in high school. I liked the feeling of living on my own but it fucking killed my pockets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m still working at this shit job of mine. The only reason why I hate my job is that I&apos;m a fucking cashier at a cheap ass grocery store where people buy groceries with my tax dollars! Yeah, working there has spawned a new pet peeve of mine: FOODSTAMP USERS. Most of them look like they&apos;re living pretty well: expensive cell phones, Bluetooth headsets, PSPs in their children&apos;s hands, expensive brand name clothing, expensive jewelry, the works. And they mean to tell me that they cannot afford food with their own money? I declare bullshit on this. I&apos;ve only worked there since late April and I&apos;ve never been more ashamed of my own race until now. My own race has the pride to stand tall, but they also have the audacity to steal hard working American&apos;s money by not getting a job themselves. The only people who should be shopping between the hours of 8AM through 3PM on a weekday are children on school vacation, old people on retirement, housewives, workers on their days off, and workers on their breaks. I see all of the above and families with their children at 10AM. How is it that no one in the whole family has nothing better to do with his time other than to bag groceries? Granted, food is a necessity to live but food isn&apos;t free. And it shouldn&apos;t be free. We all need to work to live. There shouldn&apos;t be any shortcuts. So that&apos;s what&apos;s been bothering me lately. Also, just in case any of you forgot, I am Puerto Rican. I&apos;m only referring the majority of Puerto Ricans. Not all of them are preening faggots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been playing my 360 a lot lately. Gears of War mostly. I helped my friend, Alan, buy a fucking awesome new gaming PC. He can run most games in the highest settings. It cost only a thousand dollars with a 19 inch HD widescreen monitor included. Guess where we found it? Wal-mart. YES. Motherfucking Wal-mart. Yeah. That actually inspired me to look on Newegg.com to look for a good budget gaming PC. I got most of the specs there and it should be smooth sailing. For everything that I want, it would run me about 1350 dollars. It run almost everything I&apos;d want to run. But that&apos;s only a wishlist. I&apos;d like to dish out that kind of money but (as you all know) I&apos;m in a financial crisis (kind of).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also came up with the weirdest idea I&apos;ve had in a long time. I wonder what it would be like to be a woman. I&apos;m talking body and anatomy. I had this idea saying to myself, &quot;I want to be a woman.&quot; Why did I come up with such a random idea? For one (and possibly retarded) reason: to be a female gamer. Let me explain: female gamers are rare in the gaming community. I&apos;m not talking about your girlfriend who plays Peggle on your computer or plays UNO on your Xbox Live account. I&apos;m talking about girls who play games the guys like to play: Gears of War, Team Fortress 2, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear. I respect women like them. They give it their best and wish to be treated as equals. Instead, they get comments like, &quot;OMG UR RALLY A GURL??!?!!?&quot; and &quot;pics plz?&quot;. They play games to have fun and to get some competition. I want them to be taken seriously as gamers and not just as girl gamers. I feel if I became a woman, I&apos;d understand what they go through to be taken seriously. That&apos;s 95% of my reasoning. The other 5% is straight out curiosity. I&apos;ve been thinking about it for a while so I had to let it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what lack of Internet gets me: a long fucking entry.</description>

  <title>Narrow Escape</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/5498.html</link>
  <description>Well kids, I finally moved out on my own. It&apos;s definitely a different feeling. I&apos;m enjoying myself so far but the place I&apos;m staying at could totally use some improvements. Plus, I need to learn how to cook more because I have to buy my own food now. Fucking wonderful. First step to becoming an adult. WONDERFUL. I realized that I couldn&apos;t stay with my mom much longer or I would grow too dependent on her and that wouldn&apos;t be good for my self esteem. So I moved in with Mike and Anthony in South Hadley. Mike is pretty cool. Anthony&apos;s a dick with a drug problem. Gladly, he hasn&apos;t been home for a few days due to kidney stones. He&apos;s either been at the hospital or his mother&apos;s house. At least he let me borrow a few games for my 360. Whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The weather has been a killer lately. Luckily, every time I had to go to work in that weather, I&apos;ve been given a ride either by luck or by kindness. On the days I don&apos;t get rides, I walk to work. It&apos;s all uphill. No bus goes up where I live. It&apos;s a 30 minute walk from where I live to Price Rite. Gotta make my money somehow. I&apos;ve also been getting some pretty decent paychecks lately. I&apos;m quite happy about that. I guess it&apos;s all the extra hours I&apos;ve been working. I&apos;m glad working there isn&apos;t as bad as it may seem. I actually went to Target to pick up an air conditioner with Mike. I saw the employees there and it made me remember why I hated working there. I went to work the next day with a smile on my face because of that. After that, I felt light headed. Fuck me, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, this will work out and be a good decision in my life. Writing this reminds me of how my mother held on to me and cried on the last day I lived at her house. I really hope I made the right choice.</description>

  <title>Disaterous Delays</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/5268.html</link>
  <description>I totally fucked up on my diet. Ever since I&apos;ve started working, I&apos;ve absolutely no will power to continue. I don&apos;t see my dad that much so I&apos;ve had no motivation to move on. It wouldn&apos;t have been the first time that my diet plan was all talk. It almost makes me wish I didn&apos;t have a job again. I also decided to drop my major in computer networking. Way too fucking business-y for my taste. I&apos;ve yet to decide on what I want to do next. Maybe something more hands on. As of now, my top priority is moving out. My friend Mike Johnson has been talking to me about moving in with him at his place in South Hadley. I&apos;d be paying like 320 a month for rent which includes utilities, free Internet, DVR cable, and a place closer to work. I&apos;d get my own room too which is good. We&apos;ve been hanging out a lot lately. He likes to throw parties quite a bit. Yeah, imagine me with a bunch of preppy white guys drinking with &apos;em. Awkward, yes? But that&apos;s how it&apos;s been for a bit. I&apos;m also looking for a second job. Preferably overnight and close to where I may soon be living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also finally got a 360. Alan&apos;s 360 bricked and it was sent out to repairs. It came back and now it&apos;s mine. I still owe him 200 bucks for it. I gotta make that payment in shifts. I got a gaming plan at Blockbuster so I can rent games all I want for like 22 bucks a month. I think it&apos;s great because I don&apos;t have shit for games on the 360 (save for Gears of War and The Orange Box). I rented GTA4 (which disappointed me), Call of Duty 4 (which is awesome), and currently Assassin&apos;s Creed (which is pretty sweet). I think my next rental will be Bully: Scholarship Edition. I would really fucking love Microsoft Points right about now. Also, people need to stop bitching when I rape them on Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on Xbox Live. Quitting out early is my new pet peeve. The 360 sucks for fighting games though. I hate that fucking D-Pad so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really wanna learn how to play Beatmania IIDX. It looks so much fun. I was really closing to posting my little gaming set up like Bridget did, but I was too lazy. Maybe I&apos;ll do it in my next entry or when I move in to the other apartment. I&apos;m off to play more Assassin&apos;s Creed. Oh, and just in case any of you (for some strange reason) have an Xbox 360 with Xbox Live, send me a friend request. My Gamertag is DESULAZOR. It&apos;s also on my user info as well.</description>

  <title>Unintentional Success</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/5025.html</link>
  <description>I finally have a job now. It&apos;s not the most glamorous job in the world but fuck, it&apos;s something that&apos;ll get me paid. I got a job at Price Rite. Fucking grocery store filled up to my neck with Puerto Ricans (my own kind). Kinda surprised they hired me too. Well, I can&apos;t really complain. I can finally leave my financial woes behind within two months, three months tops. My mind&apos;s a little more at ease now. I start Monday in the afternoon. I do wish it were something I were more familiar with, like a gaming store or the electronics section of some department store. Well, the bright side is that it&apos;s closer to home. Still quite a walk home (because I missed the bus just barely). Regardless, I&apos;m pretty fucking grateful. I think I&apos;ll be able to sleep well for a while. First thing I gotta pay off is school payments, health insurance, cell phone bill payment, then credit card... IN THAT ORDER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I don&apos;t care what any of you fags say, Minami-ke is awesome. Totally addicted to slice of life anime...</description>

  <title>Undeniable</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/4684.html</link>
  <description>Well guys, I came to the realization that I&apos;m depressed. Probably not severely but enough that would be able to cause me to seclude myself from the world by turning off my light and laying on my bed with my eyes open thinking to myself, &quot;Why am I alive?&quot; I&apos;ve been covering up my depressed state by continuously making plans with friends of mine and playing video games. They&apos;re like drugs: they cover up reality until it&apos;s over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am I this way? Because I&apos;ve come to realize that I&apos;ve made many mistakes in my life which were easily preventable but I let my pride get the best of me. I originally intended to get a job so I can go to school. Instead, I just worked there part time and wasted my money on video games. I saved absolutely nothing for myself. The year after, I decided to go to school and work. Later, I got stupid with my money and sold something that I felt so proud of buying because I felt I deserved it with all my hard work and I bought it with my own money, my Wii. Then I quit my job for a seasonal job while managing school. Later, much to my surprise, I got laid off of that seasonal job. I&apos;ve been looking for a job for 3 months now. I still have nothing. I&apos;m paying my bills through fucking credit cards. I&apos;m missing school payments for fucks sake. I&apos;m in a financial crisis. My friends spot me money when I&apos;m short and it makes me feel bad because I know I can&apos;t repay them. I feel greedy as if I&apos;m scraping the bottom of a trash can for cans when they do that. Sometimes, I wonder how they even put up with me. I feel terrible when I ask my family for money too. They&apos;ve supported me through so much and they believed in me. I feel like I&apos;ve failed them. They gave me money for college, I spent it on material things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s really hit me this time. I want to be my own man but I don&apos;t want to grow up. Reality scares me. I want to move on but I&apos;m not sure if I have the courage. I think this is the first time I&apos;ve ever truly felt like this. I don&apos;t count my teenage years because I was an attention whore and a poser. I&apos;m not happy. This is the closest I&apos;ve been to crying since my pre-teen years. I&apos;m seriously considering dropping out of school because I can&apos;t afford it. I need a job and nothing has come my way. I&apos;ve really been trying but I get nothing but rejection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I&apos;ve realized why I tend to use sarcasm in almost everything I say out of my mouth. I think it&apos;s because I&apos;m hiding my own insecurities. I hide the fact that I&apos;m not happy by acting incredibly boisterous and peppy. I&apos;ve been covering up my failures for far too long. One day, I&apos;d like to play a video game, hang out with friends, or even live life without this weight on my shoulders. So for those of you that actually read this entire thing, this is who I am now. This is my true self. This is the side of me that you don&apos;t see. I&apos;m sure some of you have seen me angry, but this me sad. I do have an emotional side. I&apos;m not this cold heartless bastard that make myself to be or attempt to make myself to be. I&apos;m sorry if this entry is too long but I thought it was time that you guys know the truth about me and what&apos;s really going on with my life.</description>

  <title>Week 3 Results</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/4420.html</link>
  <description>I would&apos;ve updated last week but my dad forgot to weigh me. Actually I forgot to remind him. But I have this week&apos;s results as of noon today. Here&apos;s I how I stand:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: 228.6 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;Body Fat: 34.1%&lt;br /&gt;Body Water: 48.1%&lt;br /&gt;Bone Mass: 8.8&lt;br /&gt;Muscle Mass: 72.5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend, I did kinda fill myself with Chinese food and brownies when I was over at Alan&apos;s house. I had a little more junk food last week. My workout routines were minimal because my dad had a tight schedule. I was able to start weight training which is fun. Also, what I think helped when working out was out of the question was DDR day at school. I played a lot of that. I have been drinking more water. Still working on eating healthier. I should start doing somethings on my own without being completely dependent on my father. Still, I wouldn&apos;t be progressing without him. I hope this pace continues because I&apos;m still quite proud of myself for even taking it this far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, Alan&apos;s 360 finally bricked so he&apos;s sending it to Microsoft to get repaired. When it comes back, I&apos;m going to buy it off of him. He&apos;s getting an Elite as a replacement. Looks like my plans still stick Spencer. Sorry, but I do hope you have a Happy Birthday. :3</description>

  <title>Week 1 Results</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/4333.html</link>
  <description>Alright guys, earlier this week I mentioned that I doing this diet thing. Now I have results in excruciating detail thanks to my dad&apos;s incredibly fancy scale. As of noon today this is how I stand:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: 229.2 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;Body Fat: 34.7%&lt;br /&gt;Body Water: 47.3%&lt;br /&gt;Bone Mass: 8.8&lt;br /&gt;Muscle Mass: 70.9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been cutting down on my junk food and replacing it with whatever fruits may be lying around the house. I normally down myself in soda/pop (whatever the tits you may call it) and I&apos;ve been replacing it with water. I normally skip breakfast but I&apos;ve been trying to eat breakfast every morning. Instead of walking at a leisurely pace, I&apos;ve been forcing myself just to walk a bit faster than normal. I worked out twice this week. I&apos;m still feeling quite sore from it. I worked out yesterday but because it was late, I didn&apos;t go out for a walk. Instead, I replaced it with games of DDR in my room at my dad&apos;s house. My dad has been nothing but helpful to me. Hopefully I can get better results next week.</description>

  <title>Inquisitive</title>
  <link>http://alteredtranquil.livejournal.com/3842.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s been a while. Yeah, I know. I&apos;m still jobless but I&apos;m closer to finding a job now. Big Y and Cumberland Farms are the closest things to jobs right now. I&apos;m on my second interview for both. It&apos;s a relief that I feel I&apos;ll be coming into money soon. I can finally pay off my college fees and other bills finally. I&apos;m also thinking about making a community about Hispanic cosplayers. What do you guys think about this idea? Also, if you haven&apos;t yet, check out my other community &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_nintendo_wi_fi&apos; lj:user=&apos;nintendo_wi_fi&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/nintendo_wi_fi/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/nintendo_wi_fi/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;nintendo_wi_fi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I plan on cosplaying next year, I&apos;m going to make myself a promise that I hope to uphold for the next 12 months. I promise myself, that I will lose enough weight to make a great looking Bridget (Guilty Gear) cosplayer. For those of you that are asking why I&apos;m doing this, here are my reasons: I&apos;m 5&apos;6&quot; and 230 pounds, I want to feel confident shirtless, I really want to pull off that cosplay for next year&apos;s Anime Boston, and my dad promised that if I get down to 180 pounds by Christmas time, he&apos;ll take me to Canada to get eye laser surgery, and last but not least, I&apos;m tired of feeling winded running up the stairs. Officially, I started today earlier this morning. I plan on losing weight the honest way: a healthy diet and exercise. I&apos;m not going to starve myself. I will update about this matter further. It&apos;s finally something I decided to take seriously. I&apos;m not only doing this for self esteem, I&apos;m also doing this for my health. Wish me luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDIT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far so good. Had absolutely no junk food today. I drank water. My dad also let me work out with him and is giving me useful advice. After working out. I took a walk with him. My dad is being wicked supportive of this so I&apos;m glad I have his help. That&apos;s just one day down. Now I just have to follow through.</description>

  <description>I changed my mind about just linking my entries from one journal to the next. I&apos;ll just copy and paste my entry so it doesn&apos;t cause any inconvenience and time to any of you. Hell, I know I&apos;d be annoyed if one of my friends links to the same thing on an entry as you&apos;d expect it to be here. If by any crazy chance, if you&apos;re wondering why I&apos;m changing my mind so early on, I have no bloody idea. I just decided to do it. No one complained to me or anything. I just thought I&apos;d make it easier for you guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had fun at Amber&apos;s birthday party. It&apos;s nice seeing a bunch of my old high school friends that are still in high school again. Also, Apollo Justice is awesome. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDIT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just created a Nintendo Wi-Fi friend code sharing community. Why? Because I was bored and have absolutely no friends. Actually I do have friends but if I state I don&apos;t, I tend to get more sympathy from other lonelyfags on the Internet than others. Now that I&apos;ve stated my fraudulent attempt at getting unneeded sympathy, I&apos;m pretty sure most people that have been feeling sympathy for me now officially hate me. If you never felt sympathy for me, I applaud you for seeing through my ploy and only wish you feel sympathy for me when I actually deserve or just give me attention for some awkward reason. That&apos;s actually the reason why I have an incredibly long edit just so you people can read completely unnecessary banter. Well anyways, this the community I was talking about before: &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_nintendo_wi_fi&apos; lj:user=&apos;nintendo_wi_fi&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/nintendo_wi_fi/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/nintendo_wi_fi/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;nintendo_wi_fi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Have friend codes you want to share? Join up. :3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ANOTHER EDIT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got my taxes back! I can finally pay off some stuff I couldn&apos;t do previously! :D</description>

  <description>I has a new journal. &lt;a href=&quot;http://alteredtranquil.insanejournal.com&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;It&apos;s over here&lt;/a&gt;. That&apos;s a just in case you people are actually still interested in my life. I don&apos;t update here anymore (as you can tell). Copying and pasting my entries are not my forte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDIT:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will however post links to my entries and you may comment them either here or there. I should come back here and check on my fellow man. Also, I made a Nintendo DS review journal over at InsaneJournal as well. You may look at it over &lt;a href=&quot;http://desulazorfords.insanejournal.com/&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I&apos;ve written reviews for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Contra 4. I plan on doing Kirby Canvas Curse thanks to the strange (yet expected) request from Bridget. Fucking Chinese food always fucks up my stomach...</description>

  <description>Now that I have absolutely nothing to do, I guess I&apos;ll post here. No, I haven&apos;t been ignoring friends post (even though I barely comment). But I&apos;m here every now and then, seeing what goes on in your lives then poof! I&apos;m gone. Randomly searching the INTERBUTTS for epic lulz ever since 7chan went down. Right now I&apos;m just passing the time with 7chan&apos;s Waka/b/ until they get their normal /b/ up and running again. So yes, I&apos;ve been downright not doing anything important with my life. I haven&apos;t been playing video games as of much. I&apos;ve only been playing my DS. The game that involves you of being an E-LAWYER. Yeah, exactly. That game has killed my way of life. I&apos;m playing nothing but that. My XBOX, PS2, and Wii being used very little due to my Phoenix Wright whoring. And yet I scrounge up enough time to post here. Well, I&apos;m on the last case. I wonder if it&apos;ll take me weeks to finish like the last time. Otherwise, nothing new in life. I hate work, etc.</description>

  <description>I&apos;ve been neglecting you, LJ. I wonder why that is though? Probably too much 7chan.org. Yeah, I&apos;ll blame it on that. Anyways, the important news is that I finally have a Nintendo Wii. That&apos;s right, bitches, a Nintendo Wii. So if you&apos;re reading this entry, then you probably know that I&apos;m posting this through my Wii. I only have Wii Sports for but I still love this goddamn thing. If anything, I&apos;ll be on a computer soon enough. I&apos;m gonna wrap this up because I&apos;m way too far behind on my friends list. I really should sleep but I&apos;ll get it done later.

  <description>Okay, things seemed to have calmed down. Mom&apos;s going about her daily business. I haven&apos;t heard anything about yesterday&apos;s situation from her. She seems to be in high spirits. Maybe because she&apos;s holding a party with her family like a Christmas get together. Even before the party, she didn&apos;t yell at me. She talked to me like a normal human being. Nothing stern or stressed. I took some time to play video games so I could relieve my anger. It calmed me down. Seeing my mom enjoying herself calmed me down. I&apos;m actually enjoying the prescence of my family. Apprently the situation is over. I hope it is, because I&apos;m enjoying this feeling of tranquility. Today is a good day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDIT:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because I&apos;m bored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.testriffic.com/iq/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.testriffic.com/iq/6.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Testriffic IQ test&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description>

  <description>Shit has went down with my mother and Lisa (guard director/friend). Mom goes and addresses situation regarding brother and scheduling. Mom gets out of hand. Lisa comes by. They both get out of hand. Lisa threatens to call cops. Mom leaves with brother (brother voluntarily left). Mom tells me story after I get out of work. I address the situation that mom has talked to. I said things in her defense. No on has a problem with me or my brother, just my mom. Next morning, I tell mom after work, I&apos;m going to school to see the Christmas concert. I talk, I socialize with everyone. I watch the performance. One of the chorus girls puked and I wasn&apos;t there to see it. I still laughed. I had a grand ol&apos; time watching them. I&apos;m proud of them. They made me smile. The smiling went away right after I get home. Mom started yelling at me. She started yelling at me because she thought I betrayed her. Her reason is: I socialized with Lisa like nothing happened. She&apos;s my fucking friend and I will socialize with who I fucking please! Sure, I love my mother, she&apos;s done a lot for me over the years. She&apos;s had her moments, but she&apos;s gone off the bloody deep end this time. Riddle me this: How do &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; become a traitor by choosing to hang out with my friend? Look, I want this situation to be over. Why am I involved in something that was in concern of my brother, mom, and Lisa? Because mom talked to me about it. That is her reason. I made it clear that I said things in her defense. Just because mom and Lisa don&apos;t get along doesn&apos;t mean me and Lisa can&apos;t be friends. I mean, how is she to tell me on what friends I have? If you don&apos;t like them, that&apos;s your own business. Fucking seriously, she&apos;s taking this way too far. I talk with her socially because she&apos;s my friend and I&apos;m sure she wants this to be over as much as I do. Please tell me, how did I betray my mom? I don&apos;t get it. She says I&apos;m ignorant about it. Am I really though? Am I really choosing friends over family? I wanted a peaceful solution. That&apos;s all I ever wanted. I&apos;m not going to turn my back on guard just because mom and them don&apos;t get along though. She has her problems, I have mine. Why am I involved? I feel she might do something drastic.</description>

  <description>Still doing le Phoenix Wright. Almost done with it. Still don&apos;t have my PS2 back from it getting refurbished. I&apos;ll give it till the end of the week to call because this determines if I buy a completely new PS2 or not. Regardless, my DS Lite will keep me busy for a while. I managed to hang out with Alan last night and I slept over his house. We totally rocked out to Guitar Hero. Playing for his first day, he caught on incredibly quickly. I&apos;m proud of him. My sexy man beast... Then we PWNED each other in Dead or Alive 4. We&apos;re pretty much evenly matched in that game. I took the school bus with him so I can go visit all mah friends. Then the school officer kicked me out for not having a legitamite excuse for having a VISTOR&apos;S PASS. And I clearly explained to them that I was there to talk to the music teacher, Ms. Boroweic, not help her record shit. Then I had to prove to him that my backpack was mine because he didn&apos;t want me walking out with someone elses shit. So I show him my previous paychecks that I leave in my backpack. Then again, even if I didn&apos;t have it, I wouldn&apos;t leave it without a fight. I mean, I had all my shit in there: video games, clothes, and paycheck history. So I was escorted out of the building and walked on home. Made myself something to eat. I&apos;ll probably take a nap now. I&apos;ll be back at school in time for guard practice tonight. Then again, the point of me going to school and staying the entire day (without disturbing people) was so I didn&apos;t have to show up early in the morning to hang out with my friends in the library, then go home, then come back (which is what is happening now). Then again, what can I do? Eh, whatever. That&apos;s not stopping me from seeing the guard again. Oh well, a little nap is in order. Still my own fault for reducing my hours of sleep. My mood is getting lighter do to the amusment that is 7chan. :3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDIT:&lt;/b&gt; I got my PS2 back! I&apos;m gonna give it a test run in a bit. If there&apos;s another edit within 20 minutes, there&apos;s something wrong. Hope all goes well! *crosses fingers*</description>

  <description>So I got paid. I would&apos;ve gotten paid more if it weren&apos;t for taxes but it&apos;ll have to do. So what did I do with my money? I bought shit. I bought a VCR/DVD combo thing for the living room in my house, put money away into my brother&apos;s gift that&apos;s on layaway, Final Fantasy IV Advance for the GBA, gift cards for friends (still not done with that), and a Nintendo DS Lite with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. HOLD IT! And my aunt ordered for me Castlevania Double Pack for my GBA so I&apos;m wicked excited about that. So I&apos;ve been playing my DS nonstop ever since I bought it. And right now, I still have enough money to buy Dead Man&apos;s Chest on DVD on the day it comes out. So yeah, my DS makes me happy. :D</description>

  <description>So yesterday has to have been the second worst day of my life. I&apos;ve never been so physically and mentally tired in my life. To show for it, I had a good (close to) 16 hours worth of sleep. 4 PM to 7:45 AM. Not even Monster and free food was good enough to keep me awake throughout the day. I HATE &lt;b&gt;BLACK&lt;/b&gt; FRIDAY. Well at least now I can&apos;t wait to see how my paycheck fares. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and I did it again... I picked up an XBOX game while I still don&apos;t have one... it was on clearance too...</description>

  <description>I&apos;m officially hating my job now. But I know I&apos;m gonna like my paycheck. My hours are murder to labor laws... or for what I can handle. The week of Black Friday is where I&apos;m gonna get murdered the most. That&apos;s next week for those of you that don&apos;t know. But I&apos;m sure most of you knew that already, but for those of you who don&apos;t know what Black Friday is, it is the ultimate shopping craze day after Thanksgiving. I should kill myself right here and now to avoid it but my paycheck... So don&apos;t expect me to update at all during next week or rather be online next week. I&apos;ll be too busy trying to balance sleep and work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So life now... How has it been for me... To be honest, I don&apos;t quite remember. All I remember doing is working, playing Guitar Hero when I couldn&apos;t sleep. Speaking of which, I&apos;m gonna send in my PS2 to get it replaced with a refurbished one from the company so I can play my blue-discs (ICO) and hopefully the rest of my PS1 games. That&apos;s gonna cost me 45 dollars but I won&apos;t have to buy a completely new one so that saves me about 85 dollars. But that&apos;s about it. Nothing important is going on with my life except work work work! I also feel a hint of nausea. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDITS DESU:&lt;/b&gt; I&apos;ve gone against my gaming code of honour: I&apos;m downloading F.E.A.R. for the PC. I promised myself I wouldn&apos;t download and PC games that weren&apos;t porn that I could buy from a store. I feel so ashamed... and aggrivated because it&apos;s a fucking huge download that&apos;ll take days to finish! &amp;gt;:O</description>

  <description>Okay. I&apos;m in quite a financial predicament. Finally my geekiness has a downside. I bought an assload of video games this week. Turns out, I payed more for them than I actually received on my paycheck. o_O; I got Makai Kingdom, Siren, ICO, Guitar Hero (with the guitar), Onimusha 3, Motal Kombat: Armageddon Premium Edition, and the Final Fantasy XII Collector&apos;s Edition Strategy Guide. Along with Ninja Gaiden Black and Shenmue 2. Those are XBOX games. I don&apos;t own any form of an XBOX. So I now owe my dad 206 dollars. I only got paid 196. I need half of my paycheck for the week so I can eat lunch for the two weeks I don&apos;t get paid. I hate getting paid biweekly. So I had to take some of my college savings to pay him off. Then again, it&apos;s my own fault for being so irresponsible with my money. &amp;gt;_&amp;gt; Yay brokeness. That&apos;s the last time I spend my entire paycheck on video games. So I guess the Wii is going to have to wait until after the end of the holiday season. So I&apos;m now banned from buying video games until I get my necessities first. Oh well. I know have Guitar Hero to play for a while to tide me over. :D</description>
