Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I had to postpone signing up for college until today, and I didn't quite get everything I wanted done last week.

I still need to:

Make root beer
Get programs installed
Sell Yugioh stuff on eBay.
Finish some of the books/games I have within the next 2 weeks
Spend my iTunes card


I finished Hotel Dusk and Bastion both today. Hotel Dusk is gonna have some great replay value when I clear up some other titles of mine. Bastion is something that even though I knew what I was going to do for the ending, still managed to be a very tense moment (I see it as the mark of a good game).

Lately I've been wanting to just have a bunch of white chocolate. I figure later this week while doing some other stuff I can sneak down to the store and get myself some. I should probably wait though until my new year's resolution to do more ab and leg exercises kicks in.

There's a kit that's sold at a puzzle store near my house. There are also kits for ginger ale and some other soda, but root beer is my favorite.

You essentially just mix syrup, sugar, water, and yeast into 2 gallons, then let it ferment for 10 days. I think after that the yeast needs to be strained out, but I'm not entirely sure.

At any rate, there's already some empty 2 liter soda bottles to fill with the stuff, so hopefully it works out. If it does, I may get more kits and try different sugars.

So I finally got signed up for my classes for college, and I start on Monday.

This weekend I need to:

Get security updates and iTunes on my computer
Get the psychology book I'll be using for class
Clean out my closet
Get some other stuff put away for when grandma stays the week 2 weeks from now.


I'm set to go bowling this weekend. Hopefully this next time isn't so crowded or noisy and I can get a score over 145 (my highest).

I don't need to throw EVERYTHING away, but I definitely have a huge number of old shirts I could stand to toss out.

The only other stuff in my closet aside from clothes is old shoes, spare sheets, some empty boxes, and a metal detector I've never used.

I asked for one a lot as a kid, but I've never had a decent backyard to do any digging in. Every time my family goes to the beach though, I end up forgetting it at home.

If I were to remember it some time, I'd probably just spend all my time digging at the beach for some cool trinkets to keep or sell.

So I was able to get a lot of stuff cleared out of my closet, but for some reason Kevin insists I need about 30 non-pajama t-shirts mad

The stuff that was cleared out (all 20-30 old shirts) were donated, and with the new space I can sort out my shirts by what they would be worn for.


Tomorrow I need to stop by campus and pick up my psychology textbook, so I'm planning on building my day around that. I figure I'll wake up early, clean some trash out of my room, get breakfast, stop by campus early, then walk over to the mall to hang out for a bit. I need to clean a few things in my room still before grandma comes over next week (because apparently she snoops eek ). It shouldn't take me that long, and all I plan on changing is putting away the old Yugioh stuff that isn't getting sold (so she won't think I still play and get me cards any time soon), and put up the lord's prayer cross she got me 2-3 Christmases ago so she doesn't think I threw it away.

It'll be cool to be in charge of Marisa (my kid sister) while grandma's over, but so long as nothing goes wrong for the week I should be fine. cool

So I cleaned my room a little today and now it feels a bit emptier... ninja

In all seriousness though I'm glad I got some of this stuff done. I was sick of having a few parts of my room so crowded with things and stuff, and now I have more room for new stuff.

I figure I need to beat the 5 games I have on standby now before getting anything new. I have:

Megaman Zero Collection
Professor Layton Mask of Miracles
Cave Story
Shadow of the Colossus
Fallout 3

I also bought Portal but for some reason my controller won't work with that, so I need to either figure it out or get it on a different system. If I do that though I'll probably end up getting Saints Row 2 from PSN instead of Steam, just because I heard it wasn't good with a controller on Steam (and I don't want to waste $15 on it if it won't work).

Tomorrow grandma is coming over to spend the next week at this place. It'll be nice, but I can't imagine why she'd need to be here at all even, unless she specifically asked to be here.

I also start college this next week. My Monday afternoon is crowded, but that should be alright only as the first day. After that I get Tuesday and Thursday off, with only 1 class for Wednesday and Friday.

So recently I've been playing a surreal RPG called OFF. It's free to play and very interesting.

Meanwhile, my grandma is leaving Sunday and I need to study for my psych class tomorrow (and also do an online survey for introduction).
