Things I found amusing or interesting. Mostly amusing.

-This is for buying out some of the best game companies and turning them to mediocrity.
-This is for having some of the worst customer service in the gaming industry.
-This is for deliberately holding back game content for the sole purpose of making customers pay more for it later as DLC.
-This is for strictly enforcing copyrights on content that you did not even create.
-This is for taking the Need for Speed franchise and completely ruining it.
-This is for supporting the S.O.P.A.
-This is for overworking your employees with no benefeits, demolishing any creative talent they have.
-This is for making terms of use that allow you to backstab your customers any time you see fit.
-This is for releasing the same things every year, an increasingly large number being the only difference.
-This is for forcing your customers to stay online to even play several games you publish at all.
-This is for backstabbing Valve, preventing the developers you publish for from releasing their games via Steam for the sole purpose of promoting your own platform.
-This is for overhyping your games and not delivering the content you promised.
-This is for bribing media review organizations to increase the rep of your games.
-This is for monopolizing the entire gaming industry and crushing all that oppose you.

I'm sorry, Electronic Arts. I used to like you, but you had this one coming.
Your days of having hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place are over.

Packing My Bags

 Well, Tuesday night I fly back to Virginia. I hope to be busy with friends and I hope that none of them avoid contacting me in fear that I've not remembered them or don't care anymore. I hope that I still have friends there despite how long I've been gone. I'm always up to hang out with the ones I care about - and I hope they know that. I expect this to be a busy summer, but hopefully a fun one.

 Guildenstern is seeing about getting me permission to go to Sherando the last two days of school there, so that would be nice, though nerve-wracking. I left a lot of people behind, and many of them I know I should not seek out or encourage friendliness with them, but sometimes it's hard to help it. I can't seem to remember the bad with the good in retrospect, and I make too many excuses for the ones who have wronged me and put me through unhealthy romantic relationships and unhealthy friendships as well.

 Living with Doug and Darcy shouldn't be too bad, and I'm looking forward to getting some real space between myself and my parents and this dreadful loneliness. I've been through a lot of things that no one is fully aware of, and probably never will be. Shame is a powerful force.

 But nevermind all that, life should be looking up. I hope to get with my sister this weekend and spend some time with Libby and Kaitlin as well. (Time to watch some Holy Musical B@man!) I sincerely hope to become closer to Brittany and Fawzia again, and maybe the five of us (Brittany, Fawzia, Libby, Kaitlin, Myself) could get together at some point or another. It'd be really, really nice to feel like I have friends again.

 Well.. that was a lot more self pity than I usually throw out there. Sorry about that. :P I'm usually the humor. I guess it's protection, eh?

 Packing is difficult. I can't bring everything I want to. I AM bringing my entire Spyro collection though, no matter what. -.- I'm stubborn about that collection. <3 I don't know how many books I'll be able to bring.. as it is, I'll be lucky to fit the clothes I want to bring with me. Tomorrow is going to be filled with lots and lots of cleaning.

 I was contacted by a dear friend of mine who has decided to start playing Megiddo with a friend of hers and asked me some questions about it. I am tempted to send her the file I have of everything that happened during that mess, but I don't think I will. I hope that place burns in hell. (Slightly amusing what I did there. You'd have to know the story and site to get it though, but it made me chuckle.)

 I watched a good deal of Merlin today, and an episode of Castle as well. I should probably resume packing..

Limbo

That first post was more of a test post. Now that I've gotten my blog about where I want it (but knowing me it'll do a complete 180) time to get down to business. (Sadly, we're not going to defeat any Huns here, but I do hope this isn't too much of a waste of time.)

 I think I want to re-read Julius Caesar. It is, by far, my favourite Shakespearean play. Sir Duckington (The awkward hunting/guard dog we've acquired.) is all sorts of adorkable. It's hot and miserable and there are bugs everywhere. >.>

[Edited that picture in later]

 I'm antsy about still being here in Louisiana.. I hope that I'm able to move out of my parents house in two or three weeks. It all depends on my grades, of course, which makes me extremely nervous and annoyed. Dad's having his anxiety and mom's having her.. whatever-ness. I'm tired and ready to be out of here. Living with Doug and Darcy will definitely be interesting.. I don't know if I'll be here or there in a few weeks or whether my senior year will be at Sherando or Albany.. I just want some sort of finality. I suppose I should feel bad about abandoning them and how that (apparently) makes me a bad person, but honestly, I'm just looking forward to gaining space and distance between myself and them and getting out of Louisiana.

 As usual I'm holed up in my room and alone. My days are spent mostly with TV shows and website surfing, though I've been weaning myself off of the LOTGD RPG games. Next week I think I'll start playing World of Warcraft again. (Nightelves FTW) 

 I miss the Wayside Theater. I absolutely cannot wait to return to Virginia to hang out with Libby, Fawzia, Brittany, and Kristen. I miss having friends that are actually worth a damn. Sherando next year (hopefully) will be nerve-wracking and intense and bittersweet due to all the people I cut myself off of on purpose and have done my best to avoid since. There are some things that have been left unresolved in Virginia and I don't know how all of that will play out. My nerf guns need more ammo.

 There have been a lot of changes in my life the past year, particularly emotional ones. I like to think they're going to end up being for the better. I've gotten much more comfortable with my image and body, and that's a good change.

 As for today specifically? Not much. Messed around with Duck, Jack, and Odette some. Mostly watched Castle. Craving new books to read but no way to get any. >.<

 Well this was a bit more rambling than I expected but the venting felt sort of therapeutic. It's almost 2 AM and I'm kind of out of it and pretty tired and will probably take one look at this when I wake up later and remove it. I think I'll blame it on the soda.

Congratulations! You can read.

Well, now that that's been covered, we can move along. I have a few rules.

1.) If I cannot understand it, and it's not cool technobabble or alienspeak or nerdtalk (Chatspeakers and twelve year olds, I'm looking at you) go away. Just go. You don't want me to pull a Pavi and use your face for my next Halloween costume. (I like to frighten the grammatically aware. It's a bittersweet sort of experience.)
2.) Disagree with me all you want, in fact, I sometimes encourage it. Don't expect your views to change mine.
3.) If I think you're an idiot, I'll call you an idiot. (Excluding the times I use it endearingly)
4.) No stalking. Only I do the stalking. It's just plain creepy when you do it.
5.) Brittany needs to make a blog.
 
I think that covers everything for now.

Things you ought to know:
+ This is all in brail. If you use your tongue on your screen, you can taste the delicious sarcasm dripping from my sentences. I highly recommend that.
+ Starkid? Yes.
+ Whovian? Yes.
+ Disney?  Yes.
+ 90's Kid? Yes.
+ Spyromaniac? Yes.
+ Republican? No.
+ Democrat? No.
+ Nerd? Yes.
+ Address? Cardboard box outside your nearest Starbucks. I leech off of the wifi. Go on, walk up to me. I carry a dagger made from the tooth of a Sand Worm at all times.
+ Ranter? Absolutely.
