Random thoughts on the day...
First off, Happy Birthday Amber, have fun in Vegas.
Secondly, I've been playing a lot of FF12 lately. A lot of it. I'm nowhere near where I was when I restarted, but I'm also WAY better equipped and I'm WAY more organized. So, I'm kicking WAY more tail. It's kinda cool. I'm currently around level 18, in a level 12 or 14 dungeon. Though, there's some really hard Hunts coming up soon, and I'm wanting to take them all on. I'm also filthy stinking rich.
Thirdly, a question to those that I've yet to bring this up to. Does it mean that I'm a hopeless Geek when I worry more about my FF games than I do about the girl that I let borrow them? Just a thought. The story behind this goes like this. Girl from church still has my games, which, it's no problem. She mentioned last week that she liked 8, but was going to give me back 7 because it wasn't appropriate for her little sister, which is understandable considering where she's coming from. Now, I was going to offer her the FF8 Strat Guide today, well, offer today and bring next week, so that she can look through and make sure it's fine for her sister. Which, her biggest problem was the cursing, and I don't remember much cursing in 8. 8 is more of a love story, that, and Squall's too quiet to curse and Seifer probably couldn't pronounce his name if someone didn't tell him how. I did like 8's story though, call me crazy but any love story with Bahamut and Eden is awesome. And the battle system R@WK3D! But yea, anyways, she said she liked that one, so I thought I'd be nice and offer the strat guide. I get to church this morning and we talk for just a few minutes, if that, and the game's aren't brought up. I meant to find her after the sermon, but she dissapeared on me. So, it's about then that I stopped worrying about the strat guide and started worrying about FF7, I wondered if she had it. Then, I remembered that she is acting in a play at her school tonight, and that one of the other guys from church was going with a group from his school. I thought about asking him if he'd stop by my place and pick me up, and I'd ask her there. Yea, I'm hopelessly in love with my games, heh. I'm weird, and in retrospect, I probably would've found some way of messing up even that.
So, moving on...
Fourthly, I've been playing a forum game, called DClone. Schwerman got me started on it a while back. I've been trying to catch up with him for the past month or so. Catch up meaning, beat him in Gold and trophies. Last night I took another Trophy from him, in one of the more popular games on DClone right now, one that everyone's playing. I also managed to get 145,000 Gold, he's got 193,000 Gold. So, I'm happy about that. Tonight I'm gonna targer one of his other trophies and take that from him too. I've got my eyes set on one specific game...
Lastly, tomorrow I leave with ROTC again, for the last time. But, not as a cadet, as a Senior. Tomorrow starts the end of my time in JROTC. After this trip I've got to turn in all my uniforms, and then I'm done. Strange thing is, I don't feel sad. I thought that I'd be sad when this day came. But, I've had such a wonderful time while I was in, that I've nothing to be sad about. I know that I've made a difference in the unit. I've left a mark that's going to be there a while after I'm gone. I guess that's why I'm not sad, because I know that they'll remember me once I'm gone. It almost seems frivilous, to want to be remembered at a place you'll barely go back to after you leave it. But, it makes me feel better knowing that they'll be thinking about me, they'll be telling stories about things that happend to me, or that I was involved in, well after I'm gone from there. It also seems kinda selfish.
I'm gonna end this here. I need to find something to do for 2 hours. DClone's not bad, but even that gets boring after a while.
