I'm doing really damn good. Of course, Grandpa is left, and he's always hard to shop for... Also, if I'm going to write a Chrissymas poem and send them to my online friends, that should probably occur at some point soon.

So I joined Toastyfrog's Talking Time Forums. I dunno why. I didn't post anything. I guess it's because, mostly, he made them because he was enjoying the comment banter on his blog and... well... I was really enjoying the comment banter on his blog. I wanna join in, but it's not the kind of group I fit with. So I'll just keep reading and enjoying. And if I ever end up with something to say, well, hell, I'm prepared.
Also, there is a guy on the forums named "Lumber Baron" and I just have to say that's an awesome name.

I helped at yet another Notre Dame Scholar Bowl Tourney today. It's always fun, mostly because I take that sorta "serious fun" approach where I'm serious about the rules but trying to be as entertaining as possible. People seem to respond to it, in general. When I want to be, I'm a really good public-type person. Heh, I want to be that person all the time, in some ways, but in alot of ways I'm happy with who I am... well, you know, besides the not being transitioned and having no parental support thing. Other than that, pretty damn happy. Yep. Wow, that went like... over to the left very quickly.

So I gave Bard a chance in FFIII in another mini dungeon and it went badly. I think I picked the wrong harp, maybe? Because when the guide was talking about it he was all like "Sing = Protect!" and Protect is a pretty pricey high level spell in that game, so I thought that would be nice... but all I was doing was 70 damage to all enemies... which, considering when he was a Monk (Please note earlier that this was in one of those stupid Mini dungeons! I would never abandon Monk otherwise, it's too awesome, but like all physical stuff Monk does nothing in the minidungeon) he was hitting for something like 1800 to 2000? Yeah. Unfortunate.

Sooo much talk about the Wii, and I feel like I'm missing out. And yet, I know I'm not. Most of the talk is from Toastyfrog and stuff, and he's all Retrogamer type guy talking about the Virtual Console... and besides Bomberman '93, which I would pick up for the multiplayer potential (can having classic Bomberman multiplayer constantly at your fingertips be a bad thing?), there's nothing on the Virtual Console I would get right now. Zelda would be fun to play, but I have enough to play with FFIII and NWN2 to hopefully last me until Chrissymas, where I'm sure I'll have too many games to handle. I know in my heart waiting until Feburary or March is the right choice, but I hate feeling left out. Honestly, though, I've been feeling this way about the 360 for awhile now, since about the time Dead Rising came out and they announced Catan and it's friends for the XBLA, and I've managed to resist. I'll be okay, I'm sure. I would like to try it, though, just to see how the motion control responds and such. I really need to just invade Droid's house.

I'll leave you with a stupid and untitled Nanofic I wrote the other day while sitting around, waiting for class to start.

One day, frustrated, I wished I would just die.
It was a bad day to find a genie.
