Whats I"m Up To

9.24.2002

Well let me try this post again since I wrote it before and didn't finish or save it, sooo in other words a slightly ticked off Yanni. But what else is knew, on to sillier and happier things, as I try to remember what I wrote.

Well normally I'd be updating from the computer lab between classes, but even productivity in that environment has ceased, the reason you ask Quake 3 Arena, Shawn Coblish and I found it while looking through random computers on the HVCC network. Despite the fact that I'm not good at it, I can't goto the lab w/o playing it. I started a game just to practice a bit, and like 7 other people ended up joining, it was pretty fun. After a while I got a little tired of getting killed so I was just spectating thr game, and then I decided to add some bots :-). I amped them up to the hardest level, and set them loose on everybody. It was amazing one of the bots racked up 10 kills in the first minute! But I had to leave for class so I quit the game saying "shit happens" knowng full well since i started the game, as soon as i quit everyone got kicked off. Heh, the game makes you want to be a bastard. I know its wrong but I can't help myself.

As if there wasn't enough distractions in my life I bought a new game last Tuesday which has kept me too busy playing, to write about it. The game is Animal Crossing, a little GameCube game. Its very similar to the Sims except you directly control your person directly. You go hunting, fishing, catching bugs, doing little errand, interacting with the animal residents of the town that you name, paying the loan on your house, buying furniture, and tricking out your house will cool stuff. The game even follows real time, because of the internal clock in the Gamecube, if I want to play at night I have to play at night, morning play in the morning. The consequenses are that certain things happen in town at different parts of the day, if you don't play at certain times you miss things, there are even Holidays. When its Christmas, you get presents, etc. You start the game by naming your character, and your Town. The town is randomly generated, and has fairly unique inhabitants. Well thats enough about that needless to say there's a lot to do, and I can't stop playing. I mean what if I don't play and Nook Store gets that new couch I want. On Sunday it was really creepy it was raining in the morning, then i turned on the game...and it was raining there to, i had to walk away form the controler after that, too wierd!

Oh yeah I'm sort of working at Price Choper now, I'm a clerk in General Merchandise in other words I stock shelves, change price tags, I do all that and come out smelling like womanly shampoo (the isle in my department I've spent the most time in.) It not bad at all, the people I'm working with are really nice. Hopefully there will be nice people working at the new store which isn't finished yet, I'm just training at the current store I'm in. Its very similart to my TrueValue job only its not a pound me in the ass job, and come home ready to shoot myself. Its the part of my TrueValue job that wasn't that bad, only I do it all day! Get this.....the pay is better to

Well I think thats all for now, its taken way too long to write this, damn Animal Crossing. :-P

Yep posting, I do remember saying I'd do that. Infact I remember saying I'd post a lot of stuff, even worthwhile stuff. Whoops, my bad.

Bah like anyne reads this anyway, people are really ticking me off, I know people are busy and shit, but Jesus. People leave AIM on all day I leave them a mesage knowing they are not there, its a sort of implied "hey gimmie a msg back" but most people don't seem to understand that. You know I send a message or e-mail, and silly me assumes the person will actually read it and not just close the window automatically....and be a dick. Seriously it was bad enough in New Paltz when it cost money to call anyone from home or otherwise, but Jesus I'm home now. Christ I don't send messages because it makes me feel good, it means I want to talk.

Hell I'm hard pressed to believe some people are even alive since they never initiate a conversation, or are in a constant state of 'away' with an away message that doesn't mean anything. Silly me, when I go to the mall my message is "at the mall" or something similar, my favorite away message is when people go "......" as if that actually means something.

Bah, people are just annoying me now. All I ask is that I don't have to be the one to start the conversation, or be the first one to call, I feel like I'm the only one working at some of these friendships. And I'm not talking about everyone, just in general. Being in New Paltz was depressing enough at times, don't need this shit while I'm at home among 'friends'.

But again no one reads this anyway.

Well I've begun posting and such, I had all these ideas for what I could post, news, reviews and such.

On Friday I tried doing a bit of Game News stuff but was unhappy with how it came out, and then I began writing a review for Mario Sunshine that I didn't finish, was unhappy with, then i wanted to reorganize and then just gave up. This whole writing thing, whats up with that, beside these little occasional posts and writing HTML or Computer code I havn't written anything substantial in quite a while. Also I just thought its because I don't have a set style for how I want to do that other stuff yet, but hopefully I'll get over that soon. Get past my writers block and such. Woo just wasting time between classes as always, its like the the default time I update my website.

I did update the 'Origin' section a bit, reorganized it and added a lot more actual information about my interests and stuff that was a bit fun to write, it was a way to look back at how long, how, and why I got interested in certain things. Plus I just looked at it and realized it doesn't really say anything about me. Plus I thought that page was kind of confusing, it had my little story about 'The nExt' and it had no explanation. Just trying to get the page to flow better.

Zara reminded me to put up the pictures from Otakon on the site, which I will scan in when i get a chance, but I want to wait till I get Ferro's doubles cause I had him take some pictures before I got my camera, plus I bet his were better, I was kind of dissappointed with mine. I imagined them being a lot niftier then they actually were. But as soon as I get a copy of those i will build the gallery for that, which hopefully the only long part will be scanning, since I should have a program that makes thumbnails for me.

Well thats all for now I suppose, Laters all :-)

The Yanni has returned!! ......finally. My website is a working again, and its meets all my new standards of excelence. (Which means I just posted the new format from my college website over the old one) HostOnce finally heard my demands for justice and gave me my website back again with my spiffy .com name everyone will find my site. Muahahaha.

I got the blog working again, otherwise you couldn't read this. Hopefully I will update regularly but I say that on every post on my LiveJournal also. But here is where I can put all the info I get everyday, stuff about videogames, Anime, even Reviews and such. But it only matters if people love me enough to come to my little website :-( other wise I won't care either.

:-P
