[Music: The Beatles - Hard Day's Night]
a. I'm not sure if that's the name of the song, but it works
b. Does singing the first few lines of the song count as listening? I'm too scared to log on to Freewire. OD2 has informed me of security holes in both Freewire and WinMX.

Well, It's been a long week, and I'm going to sum it all up.

Sunday: I saw the Scorprion King. I didn't really like it a whole lot. In fact, it was very cliche and was just plain... boring. Too much sexual innuendo for me also. The plot wasn't too great either. But oh well. Afterwards, I went to Toys R Us and got Super Mario World Advance and Golden Sun and 6 GBA cases. I began SMWA. Dang, that game is FUUUN! Golden Sun is actually a dissapointment. For one, the graphics are well done, but they aren't my style. I haven't played it very much, but it does seem to start out bland. Oh well.

Monday: This was an average day almost. In gym, I began running the Heart Smart (10 laps in 30 minutes, which is equal to 2.5 miles). I was actually AHEAD OF EVERYONE for about the first 4 or 5 laps. That's just plain freaky, in my opinion. Then my friends began passing me. I ran ahead, then all of a sudden began getting REALLY short of breath and nausiues (I don't know how to spell it), and I went to the nurse. I rested up and went back to gym, where I had a normal day.
And Little did I know this yet, but later that night, 3 of my German teacher's friend's had died. They were driving in a car. A drunk driver had a head on collision with his 3 friend's, whom all died. The drunk driver lived (I KNOW there is SOME scientific explanation for this). I'll be sure to keep my German teacher in my prayers.

Tuesday: Very good day. I got myself a GBA carrying case with Justin's $10 Best Buy Card. I now bring my GBA tos chool every day, thanks to Super Mario World Advance, which I finished with 100% EARLY that morning. Golden Sun is STILL not that great. At CRASH that evening, I discussed a bit of irony with Olivia. Yes, everything I said was ironic. I don't feel like talking about it now.

Wednesday: I got my confirmation verse. It's 2nd Corinthians 2: 15-16. I'm still deciding which version of the bible to use though. I still need to write an essay about it also.

Thursday: My family birthday party. Got FFX player's guide (Biggest guide I've ever seen...), Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (PS2), 2x Gravis GamePad Pro USB, a miniature camera, some clothes, and a GBA to GameCube link cable. Yay.

Now... For general rants.

Today in Language Arts, Mrs. Kelley took away my camera, and erased the pictures. She was angry about how I could be intruding on people's personal privacy, even when I didn't take pictures of anybody unless they said I could. I won't get it back till Monday either. Ugh! I can't stand her! The class itself, the students, the teacher, the general feeling of the class, the concepts, the education, all of that is TERRIBLE in Mrs. Kelley's LA class. Absolutely Horrendous! I wish I could just forget all about it because it's not doing anything for me except add on to my pressure level. Oh well...

well, onto gaming.

This past week, I have realized that Final Fantasy III is the best Final Fantasy, in my opinion. I'm currently working on uncursing the shield on the Solitary Islands. I hope to achieve the status of Godhood before I beat the final boss. I suggest you all download a ROM of this game or buy it from eBay, eitehr the SNES game, or just get Anthologies, and play those. They are FUUN! In fact, I like FF3 more than FF8 (I never thought it would happen though :-P)

Final fantasy X is also very fun indeed. Judging from the size of the player's guide, I'm going to be spending a loooong time before I achieve Godhood.* Yes, that's right. I'm going to get every item and make every character know everything they possibly can with maxed out stats. It's a loooong journey, but I can do it.

Now, I have compiled a list of my favorite games ever. It's a top 10 list.

1. Super Metroid
-This game has more replay value than I could ever imagine possible. The only reason I don't play it a lot anymore is pure laziness. This game is AWESOME!
2. Final Fantasy III
-This game just plain kicks. It has some sort of appeal to it that makes me want to huggle it so. It also has the best soundtrack on the face of the planet.
3. Super Mario World
-I've recenbtly realized this is one of the best adventure games on the face of the planet. Oh this game rocks so much and I could play it over and over and still not have enough. The soundtrack also rocks.
4. Final Fantasy X
-This game just has so much, and is so innovative and also has one of the most addictive stat systems ever. I love this game.
5. Chrono Trigger
-You're probably thinking "ARE YOU CRAZY!? Number 5!?" The answer is yes, I am. This game is just plain awesome, and is one of the most innovative games of it's time. It is also very interesting.
6. Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
-This game is one of my favorite RPG/Adventure games. I'll play this again soon.
7. Mega Man Battle Network
-Very nice battle system, addictive attacks (meaning it's addictive to get every code for every chip), and also a Mega Man game. What's not to like?
8. Mega Man X
-I just love this game. i don't know why, but I do.
9. Kirby's Super Star
-See #8
10. Not really sure...

Well, I wa sgoing to post more originally...At least I think I was, but... I'll do more tomorrow.


Anyways, I have nothing else for you. It's been a great week, no matter how much crap happens. I amde the best of it. ANyways, It's time for pizza.

April 23rd, 2002

Mornin'. I'm posting from school. I really have nothing to say for now, except I probably won't be updating this a whole lot.

Oh yes, on Sunday I spent my $50 at Toys' R Us and got me Super Mario Advance 2 and Golden Sun. I've been playing Super Mario World all night and have it beaten perfectly. All the dragon coins and goals cleared. Yay Ra!

Not much to say now though. I'll try and continue this update later on. Class is about to start, so I need to go.
