Woot, new file!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Haha thanks. It doesn't really matter past the point that I just like to keep games that I've beaten for whatever reason. But it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before. haha

Are you dyin' or somethin'? :?
Nope, b-day.
Well, think a lil more positively. You can either age or die. Pretty much the only forks in the road. I'll take aging. Happy B-day~ ;)

Sweet~ I did that job back in the day (though not at Walmart, at a supermarket). It was fun, lotta drunk people to mess with, you get to play stacking and then bowling games, I went surfing in the morning after my shift, and best of all, your title could be "night stocker/stalker". :D

I work at Wal-Mart overnight maintenance, so i work with the overnight stockers every day.

It's a hell of a lot better than fast food. You get benefits and paid vacations after a year too. Quarterly bonuses after you've worked there long enough as well. Evaluation and a raise every year.

Last I remember, all overnight positions are full time too. It's a job you can pretty easily support yourself on.

How enjoyable the job is for you will depend largely on management though. Some managers are just plain dumb/jerks, but that applies anywhere.

I feel bad because I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, I've been trying to avoid talking about it, in the hope I would have a chance to watch it before you mentioned it. Sorry, life got in the way, as the saying goes. I'm gonna try to get up early and watch it tomorrow before work.

Man, take all the time you need and don't rush to see it. If you never see it I won't be a bit upset. I think everyone on the planet would agree that the only person who would be upset of you not watching a Tyler Perry movie would be Tyler Perry (and maybe his Mother).

Well I'm gonna watch it, I want to be able to legitimately criticize Tyler Perry movies. :)

*gazes into crystal ball* You're going to say it had its faults, but overall really enjoyed it and would watch it again.
