:x Last 3 out of 4 craigslist sellers I've emailed simply haven't responded. If you've already sold it, tell me. If you don't like my offer, tell me. But don't just ignore me! :x

Not yet. And most likely I'll be busy with cooking and or playing badminton.

Smile: Beat Starfox again and after some time on the END screen it repeats the theme, which has to be some easter egg.

Slightly Mad: neighborhood water line broke, no water for 8 hours

Smile: water fixed

Mad: pressure caused a pipe near my house to burst

Smile: worker comes to fix this secondary issue & I still have running water. No worries.

Smile more: crazy neighbor decides to freak out on repair man who then stands up for himself & makes my neighbor look like a moron.

Running water, both lines fixed, neighbor is a jackass... eventful Sunday :)

:evil: my house still has no power. It's been 48 hours. There's houses across the street with power for fucks sake. All I want to do is my laundry and clean my room. It's what I planned on doing this weekend and now I'm screwed and can't do anything.

:cry:

Currently creeped out. Over the past few weeks I have picked up quite a few Atari 2600 games and in that time period weird things have also started occasionally happening around my house. Most specifically around the games lol. About two weeks ago after picking up 4 or 5 games I put them in my closet with the rest of my Atari collection in their nice little cardboard trays :P. That same night while my mom and I were watching TV we started hearing weird noises from the closet kind of sounded like a animal running around inside and I made the joke that I probably had a dead kids atari games. Of course there was nothing in there and I just blew it off as regular house noises occasionally the house does make weird sounds. Although this noise lasted a solid 10 minutes and stopped after i opened the door :P.

So over the past few days there have been multiple cases where my mom or myself have heard someone calling us from across the house and mistakenly hollered back at one another :P. The usual "what did you want I heard you call me" crap. Nothing to exciting but enough to spook my mom a bit.

Well none of that has really bothered me up until tonight :P. About 20 minutes ago around 12:30 am I was finishing packaging some stuff I sold so I was walking back and forth from the kitchen to my computer room to print labels. Well as I came out of the computer room I heard someone loudly whisper my name and felt the always lovely sensation you get when someone is right behind you. So I turned around expecting it to be my mom who had just gone to bed and told me not to stay up to much later but.... nobody was there.

Part of me finds it cool that my Atari collection may be haunted, but another part of me is kind of pissed that I made the dead kid joke and possibly pissed it off lol.

Now taking bets on how long it takes Fragems to discover the speakers I've hidden in his house.

:D Having fun watching all the Harry Potter films with the family. We never watch movies together, so this is a nice to finally get to sit down and share one of my favorite ways to pass time.

:( Missed work yesterday. I felt absolutely dreadful, and I'm sure the lack of sleep didn't help. So sick of all the laughter and loud music coming from the pool. Bah humbug.

:D Only a few days left until Vacation. We're taking my daughter to the Zoo, Aquarium and Insectarium for the first time. Can't wait to see how excited she gets when she gets to see all these things in real life.

I went with my sister and her 2 kids to the aquarium a year ago. It is interesting, but probably only worth going once. Though I am sure I will take my daughter at some point when she is older.

Avoid the restaurant, it is overpriced and I hear the food isn't all that good either.
