Alright. I’ve taken a brief reprieve from studying psychology to return back to the blogosphere and make an update that does not make me sound completely psychotic. To that end, I bumped into Liam, King of Beards, today in the MC. He had just been liberated from Calculus, while I was heading to that dungeon of derivation.
We talked about getting together at KO for a relaxing night of non-obsessive school work. I think this is mainly for my benefit, because ever since my last post, some people have been treating me like a deranged, suicidal mental patient.
But so what if I am?
The problem with going to KO is that I - quite literally - have no money. As I mentioned in my more hysterical post below, I have literally zero dollars to my name. This makes it very difficult to purchase gigglewater at the local speakeasy. It seems I will have to collect from Blake in order to fully take-in a night of casual drinking.
Although, I am sorely tempted to keep my money away from alcohol and devote it to something more tangible, like a new Nintendo DS game or a Christmas gift for my girlfriend (quite possibly the wiser choice). Children of Mana just came out, and I really want to buy it and go back to my days of gathering Mana spirits to save the world and restore the Mana Tree, and slashing and destroying enemies with my party of Kevin, Hawkeye and Riesz. Please note: I did not name them. The available characters are Kevin, Hawkeye, Riesz, Angela, Charlotte and Duran.
Children of Mana, Final Fantasy III, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Star Fox are all out, and I desperately want them. My problem is that I lack the following: 1. Time to play the games 2. Money to purchase the games
As such, I am left to debate whether I should request them for Christmas from my parents, or if it would be wiser to get something helpful to university. However, I have access to everything I need (for the most part), so I should be already in that respect. Besides, I need to have some way of kicking back.
In an effort to kick back, I had fully intended to go to that Don’t Study event today hosted by UW Gamers. However, I refused to go until I finished studying for Psychology, which only recently wrapped up. The event ended at 10PM, so…I missed it. Oh well.
As a final point of interest, I just got back from getting a bite to eat. I’m disturbed by the service. First of all, the woman who prepared my food, we shall call her Lupe, added the condiments, added the meat, and then walked away to refill the ranch dressing container in the back. So, I’m standing there at the counter, awkwardly, with a line forming behind me and no one manning the counter. Finally, another person comes out, wraps my wrap, and sends me on my way.
The more disturbing part of this whole ordeal is the man we shall call Raccoon Eyes. I see him working often. And usually, he appears to be affected by some sort of malady. While I was there today, he turned to talk to a fellow employee and openly coughed on the area where they prepare the French fries.
Ugh…I’m hesitant to eat from the Grill in the future…
Oh, as a final note, I joined Facebook and added myself to the St. Michael’s group. It was interesting. Within a short time span of signing up, Nicole H@milton added me as one of her friends. This surprised me, since I haven’t seen Nicole Hamilton since I went to see League of Extraordinary Gentleman about four years ago on Andrew’s birthday, and even then - she didn’t recognize me.
Also, at the time, she had blue hair…like Marge Simpson, without the up-do.
Furthermore, such old acquaintances as R@chel Kyle, @ndrew @d@ir, and a few others are present on Facebook. It is interesting to see that everyone is still alive and kicking.
