Well Christmas has come and past. A lot of great stuff has happened, and a lot of not so great stuff as well. Well a lot more bad stuff than good stuff. But I'll focus on the happy stuff.

Video Games: Games, games, games. I love video games. And it's not even just playing them. Call me a nerd or a geek or whatever, but I've always been fascinated by how video games work. Unless I get a major swing in interests in the next 2 years, I'm even going to a apply for Champlain College for their video game programming course. But that's still a bit off, and while I'm having fun dabbling in RPGMaker, right now I just want to be able to enjoy playing my new games. Right now I'm working on 3 games. Dragon Quest VIII (PS2), Conker: Live and Reloaded (X-Box), and Metroid Prime (GC) are the three I'm playing right now. Also need to get Metroid Prime 2 once I've beaten the first one. Need to beat them both before Corruption comes out. I want to finish up the last of my games before the string of awesome Wii games coming out this year starts (so freaking stoked for the new Fire Emblem).

Music: Got a bunch of new CDs recently. Namely Bon Jovi's "Keep the Faith", Motley Crue's "Red, White, and Crue", Journey's Greatest Hits, and Nintendo's Twilight Princess Soundtrack (what can I say, I'm a Zelda freak). I love my music. I listen to music near constantly. Even when I'm playing video games, I usually just mute the volume and put on a CD. Although it recently crossed my mind that for all my love of music, it seemed odd that I've never been to a concert. So I did a bit searching and found an awesome concert near where I live (sort of). Breaking Benjamin, Nickelback, and Three Days Grace. I'm praying I'll be able to go. The only problem is that it's on a Wednesday at 7, and it's like two hours away from where I live, so that could definitely screw things up. Oh well. Here's hoping it works out in the end.

Books: Finally gotten back into the habit of reading on a near daily basis. Just finished up the second and third book in the Demonata series (awesome series). And of course there was City of the Lost (if you haven't gotten it yet, you definitely should, it's such an awesome book). Also reading some short stories by Ambrose Bierce for an English project on writing styles. After I'm done with that though I'm planning on raiding my Dad's book shelf. Been meaning to read Sherlock Holmes and The Silmarillion for a while now.

School: Just dealt with Mid-Terms. Actually kinda liked having Mid-Terms. There were all fairly easy (except for the social studies one :annoyed2:) and I got to go home at like 11:30 everyday so that was nice. And I'm now done with Gym class for the rest of my life. YES!!!! My legs are still a bit sore from the exam though (18 minutes of continuous running + pathetic physical condition = pain). Hope I did good on the exams. Dad's been motivating me with the promise of white chocolate Lindoor's, and a driver's license. Man I want that driver's license.

And in a completely random bit of news my hair is finally long enough for a ponytail. Woot!

Current Progress:

Dungeon: Final Dungeon

Event: Staring at the boss door.
