I spent an hour in the middle of the night writing about what's happened with that girl Jessica, and how it's now over and it's my fault for letting it go as far as it did, and then I realized that it really shouldn't be published, since nothing good could possibly come of it and it would violate my policy of posting on girls/relationships/emo crap. I've definitely picked up a big, big lesson from this, and if I could put it into a sentence I would. Maybe I'll turn it into a set of romantic axioms or something.
Speaking of embracing my inner nerd, I've learned to *love* singledom. Why, do you ask? My gaming life is about to go berzerk. Here are the games in which I have very little progress or haven't even started, all of which require being played:
-Doom3
-Half-Life 2 (haven't started, don't spoil anything pls)
-Halo 2 (played about one mission on co-op)
-GTA San Andreas (still in Los Santos, maybe 1/2 or 2/3 through the missions before 'leaving' the island) More importantly, I'm an Xbox Live *freak* for Halo 2. I'm still playing as a guest all the time, but my pseudo-clan formed with my friends (we play nothing but Training Ground games) is one of my favorite activities. This may be my next big part of my gaming life - and considering I've asked for my own box for my birthday, it's pretty damn likely. Either way, once I get done with finals, I've got my work cut out for me for the Christmas break. 5 weeks, 4 games, 0 girls and tons of friends - damn, that just sounds awesome. This Thanksgiving is going to be a much-needed prelude to the festivities and a much-needed break from this silly life I'm living on campus. I need a few days in the land of familiarity to get my bearings straight again. I'm bringing home probably very little for gaming (at most a PS2 + GTA:SA) and planning to spend just about all of my time and energy on seeing as many people as I can. Most of the A-town crowd gets in Tuesday night, so we'll play it by ear for getting any festivities underway that night, but I could definitely stand to make a Starbucks/Friday's run and do some philosophizing over tasty beverages and loads of breadsticks. We're just two nights away - praise jebus.
