I'm a Gamer!

So Christmas is done. I'm honestly not sad about it. I'm actually a little bit glad. Not that I didn't have a good Holiday - I had a great one with my family and we spent lots of time with each other. It's just that there are so many movies and songs depicting the magic of Christmas, and I just don't feel it anymore. And that's not why I don't like it very much. I don't like it because I feel guilty that I DON'T feel that magic of the season. I try too hard to find that Christmas spirit that I end up exhausted. And drunk.

Anyway, I did get some lovely gifts, including gorgeous boots that I've wanted for a while and a Wii! So on boxing day, JL and I went out and purchased some new games for our recently acquired gaming stations (she received an xBox Kinect). We went out at 530am with JL's Dad, who was privy to our shrieks of laughter as we tried to entertain ourselves while waiting in line in the cold. We also tried to make friends with the others in line, but they didn't seem to want to be friends with us. Which is just rude and wrong because we are fun.

I bought the normal "girl" games like Super Mario Brothers and Glee Karaoke (girl games or little boy games...I'd like to not focus too much on what my choices say about me), but I also purchased SpyGames and Call of Duty. Why? Because they sounded really cool. And also because I want to a) be a spy and b) join the military. The games seemed like a good way to fulfill these goals.

I have yet to play SpyGames. But I did play Call of Duty. And...I sucked. I threw grenades at everything, ran INTO my fellow soldiers, and it took me 10 minutes to find the supply crate. It was embarrassing. And I was by myself. The men in the game - and this wasn't even online - were chirping me. Which I found to be very rude. They don't KNOW me. And I'm new!

I played it for 10 minutes and went back to Mario. It was too hard (that's what she said). I think I need lessons.

I also bought The Sims so I could create another life for myself. We don't need to talk anymore about that.

Love,

Bella
