I haven't played Pokemon since June 28. That's nearly 3 weeks without it! O_0
But I'm really into some other games right now, like Sigma Star Saga. Actually only Sigma Star Saga.
Hangings out have not happened as much as they must. I declare: More frisbee! More Gears of War! More Super Smash Brothers! More movies! Some Whirly Ball!!

Very entertaining:

IT'S NOT THAT TIME AGAIN!

All right, just forget about that last post until I can think of some funny ones.
Dammit.

blitzmoose9 (5:57:18 PM): i could
blitzmoose9 (5:57:20 PM): i should
blitzmoose9 (5:57:27 PM): but probably i could not
blitzmoose9 (5:57:46 PM): because my father does not like me to have fun on days where he has to do stock trading
blitzmoose9 (5:58:04 PM): if my father can't have fun, everyone should have to suffer no matter what

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

You know you're a gamer when... Part II

-Your mom tells you that you need to have "female interaction" this summer.
-As you see someone run by, you think to yourself, "man that guy has good AGL!"
-You get overcharged for something at a store and yell "Hax!"
-The biggest crisis for the day is deciding which game to play
-Whenever you meet someone named Zelda, you think, "how unoriginal."
-No one gets most of your jokes.
-When people do get your jokes, they laugh nervously and look at you as if you were an alien.
-You pledge to get out and do something this summer, this year, this month...and wake up in front of a PC in a darkened room in the middle of the night.
-You play games day and night, but still manage not to have any [game].

I'll try to replace the crappy ones with good ones later (maybe I should just make a new list...)
