First Official Day Of the Christmas Break

So, good morning! It's the first official day of the Christmas break today, which is exciting. I forgot to mention that I finally hit $100 on my Google AdSense for my tech blog. It's going to be my first paycheck! Google is shipping out at the end of the month, so I should get it in the middle of January 2010! Oh yeah, I have to spend this Christmas figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't feel that Computer Science is right for me... It's so boring, how could someone do code for the rest of their life?

So, today I'm off to my Uncle Jason's place. Going to be real fun, we're going to play a bunch of StarCraft games. I hope Nikki and her brother don't get bored though, that's my only concern.

Hardcore Gaming Was My Past

It looks like my hardcore gaming days are over. On Saturday, I was thinking about StarCraft II and I was thinking about how much I'd get to play it. With University coming up, I'm definitely not going to be able to play during the school year; if I do, it'll be around 5 hours per week - at the most. Next Summer would be the perfect time to play, but I'm hoping that I can find a job. It's going to be the same thing for the next 3 years of University, which means absolutely no time to play. After school, I'm obviously going to start working and I'll definitely have a lot to do then. Let's just hope I'll be able to squeeze in some StarCraft II in there somewhere. I'm that excited.

I wish I was a kid again.

My Girlfriend Has Potential Part 2

Feb. 17/09: Yesterday, I talked about my girlfriend going all gamer-mode the past couple of days. So, on Sunday she played from about 8 p.m. - 3 a.m. and yesterday she played from 1:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. That's actually quite impressive. 17.5 hours in 2 days. Since i could play an average of 30+ hours in 2 days playing WoW, that's over 1/2 of what i'd play. So, she got off at about 12:00 a.m. last night and she went on to "her second love" Neopets for about 15 minutes. Our (Me, Nikki and ashlee) neopet owns face, pretty much. The stats of the pet are a bit low, but we have 2.6 million (NP) neopoints in the bank plus the 400,000+ NP spent on the neopet home. Oh wait, I'm going off topic, this is supposed to solely be based on my girlfriend's gaming.

Today's July 2 and she's back at it. On a side note, our Neopet account got banned a couple of months ago. You may or may not remember Part 1 of this, but here's the link. For the past week or so, my girlfriend, Nikki, has been playing Harvest Moon again, almost non-stop - if she's awake that is. She usually wakes up at around 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. so at that point I've already been awake for around 4 - 6 hours just tech blogging. There's really nothing to do, but I'd choose this life over the school life.

Anyways, let's get back to the main point, my girlfriend playing Harvest Moon again. So, while finishing up the last season of Dexter today, she played. She's been playing for the past 8 hours straight. She's working out now, but she should go back to playing again when she gets back. We're usually up until around 4 or so. I play Hot Shots Golf Fore / read Angels & Demons, while she plays. It's good because we get to stay up with each other on Skype, something that I love to do.

It'll be our 1 year anniversary in a week and I don't know what to do. Is that bad? Probably. I'll think of something though. I know I don't want anything expensive though - I'm thinking skipping rope - and hopefully she doesn't because, at this point, we both don't have a job. Man, I'm really starting to get pissed off how none of us aren't getting called. She should get called next week though, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Although me - no hope.

Yeah, so we're both "hardcore" gaming again. I know when my true potential will come out - hello Starcraft 2. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I'm playing Starcraft 1 again. If you want to know my account name, message me.
