dmxratedA lot's been happening, and I'll just write down as much as I can remember offhand.
Well, during the past week, I've been having these memories of 4th grade swirling around in my head. That year marked my first experiences with Nintendo Power magazine and the time when I got my first permanent video game console (the Super NES). I spoke about it with Dr. Perret last Tuesday, and I also started a thread in the VGMusic forum about Nintendo Power magazine. The thread has pretty much run its course by now, but I might copy it onto this blog soon enough. I've also been watching Ebay auctions for NP volumes 70-79, but most of them have been rather expensive. I should ask myself, am I still feeling so nolstalgic, or am I a bit carried away after these feelings have subsided? In the meantime, though, maybe I could sell those Boys Life and Discover magazines that I still have, to make room and raise money for these back issues.
Last Thursday, it was raining, my umbrella was broken, and I was caught running in the hall. Someone asked me over to some table after I stopped, and asked me why I was running? I told her that I was feeling a bit hyper and couldn't go outside. She then introduced herself as Valerie, and introduced two boys named Jeff and... I don't remember the other boy's name offhand. They then asked me if I was interested in any clubs or activities, but the only one that I had any interest in (even if I hadn't been so bogged down with schoolwork) was bowling on December 10. They asked me other stuff, such as if I had a girlfriend, and I told them that I haven't had any interest in dating. We then exchanged emails, and I wrote my email address twice on the back of a flyer.
I brought it up at dinner that night, and Dad told me that College is about more than just coming to classes and doing assignments. These campus activities are a major part of what makes College a unique time of a person's life. As for "I don't do relationships," he told me that the only reason I don't do relationships is because I live with him and Mom, who do just about everything to keep my life from falling apart, while I'm too busy with the computer and my video games. According to Mom, a better thing to say would've been "I haven't found anyone who I have any interest yet." I said nothing on the contrary, but I personally tend to think not. Mind you, I'd be glad to be their friend, but once you start this game called dating, it might eventually lead to marriage; marriage leads to having kids, and that's something I don't want happening for more reasons than just a matter of how my time is spent. Brian's been through a lot of dates for a number of years, but he'll eventually find someone he truly loves, and if he wants to get married and have kids, that's his choice. I, however, enjoy being a contrast in that manner, as someone who never had a date, doesn't want one, and wishes to remain single for the rest of his life.
Moving on, I found these websites from the External Links section of Wikipedia's article on editing dubbed anime. So far, I've looked at the sites for Digimon, Sailor Moon, and Ojamajo Doremi. So far, only the first episode in the OD site was ever completed, and it's been two years ever since it was. I only looked at the first episode for Sailor Moon, but plenty of episodes for Digimon. Furthermore, I remember seeing a similar website for Card Captor Sakura, which wasn't listed among the links in question. (Now, if only someone would make a respective website for Mon Colle Knights.)
Two days ago, I asked Donna (a supervisor at work) if I could attend one of the desks at the library, instead of shelving books, since I had a whole lot of reading to do by Monday. She instead gave me the options to either do some work or "go home", and was polite enough about it. I opted instead to go home (make that, go read at the student lounge, since I take the bus to and from school on Fridays).
Scott ate dinner with us that night. I asked both him and Marie if they would like to come to bowling night in a few weeks. Both of them agreed, and then Mom asked me how work was. I told her what happened, and then Dad (softly) lectured me about what a job is all about. He told me that I need to show enthusiasm when I'm at my job, not reluctance. I told both Mom and Dad that I only meant to get some lighter work, not leave work altogether, but he continued making his point. He did finish by the time we were done eating, and after we were done, I got the flyer I picked up for Bowling Night, to show to Marie and Scott.
