:) Had a good weekend helping my parents move. Weird to see the house I spent the last 5 years in empty; even weirder I don't feel that sentimental about it. I hate lifting since it reminds me of my first job. I was fed well though and that's more than enough payment for me. It felt good to not be hungry. :lol:

:? On the subject of girls. Seems I'm just late when it came to becoming girl crazy because it's certainly driving me nuts now. Even worse is being crazy about one but being so dense I'm not sure what to do. I have no fear but 0 knowledge of the game and 0 skill at reading signals; so I'm not sure if I'm on the ball or completely misinterpreting everything and about to make a fool of myself. Still, gonna ask her if she might want to go with me to see Gravity this weekend (after all, I do have a gift card that's about to expire) or something. We shall see after Wednesday!

You will do much better if you keep it that way. There is no such thing as "the game", and people who claim to have knowledge of "the game" are: (1) delusional; and (2) douchebags.

(Unless...of course...by "the game", you mean "Ms. Pac Man"...If that is the case, then you should definitely acquire some knowledge of "the game" ASAP because people who have knowledge of Ms. Pac Man are: (1) awesome; and (2) awesome.)

.....

Relax. Stop worrying so much. Be yourself. Be polite. Be respectful. Be sincere. Have a lot of fun. Make sure that companion is having a lot of fun.

If you follow these simple rules - which you should be following whenever you meet anyone socially - then you will be fine.

Double post; so, I will make the most of it...

:) Played through Portal yesterday!

:( ...but I feel guilty about it because I am getting ready for a trial and have a ton of work ahead of me. (I have been working way, way too much recently, however, and the short break <hopefully> cleared my head a bit.)

I played through Portal for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I freaking loved the game. I didn't become attached to the companion cube though, I did what the test told me to do as Jinx watched me in horror. It was fun. :lol:

When my school money drops and I get my new computer, I am so getting Portal 2. It might be my Christmas present to myself if circumstances permit.

I didn't have feelings for the companion cube either...GLaDOS, on the other hand...well...I felt bad for breaking her heart... :lol:

EDIT: GlaDOS has so many great lines in that game...I think I am going to look up the script.

Spent some time looking for a little suitcase all in one player for her since she doesn't have room for, nor needs a big player or any fancy components. The other month I picked up an old GE Wildcat player for cheap off of CL. It wasn't working and ended up being much dirtier than I initially thought. Much cleaning, a new power cord, and a new needle and it's working pretty good. :mrgreen:

I think I'll just hold on until Christmas at this point, but I know she'll be super happy and will be able to play her stack of records now.

That is very cool, you picked a good unit that looks easy for her to play!

I've gotten the song from the ending stuck in my head a few times. Her lines were brilliant. The way they went about playing to your emotions made the experience so much better for me. The only thing I didn't like was that the game didn't really have much of a story line to it, but I was told that it addresses that in the second one. I don't want to look it up in case of spoilers.

When I finished the game, I made cupcakes. I had to.
