We ♥ Katamari!
Monday, January 16th, 2006So a while back I heard all the rage about the Katamari Damacy game. And since I heard it was silly and addictive, I had to go get it. But I didn’t have a PS2. My roomate told me at the time that I could get the game and use his PS2, since he kept it in the living room anyway. He even went with me to the game store to trade in some old GameCube games and buy it. We came home, and I started playing, and played for 3 hrs straight without noticing it. Rob came out to the living room and asked me if I was going to bed soon. I asked him what he meant, cause it was early still. Then he told me it was 2am. :[
The next day my roomate took his PS2 into his room, never to be seen again. That was about seven months ago or so. I knew I wasn’t going to buy a PS2, especially since the PS3 is supposedly on it’s way, so I gave Katamari Damacy to a friend of mine who I thought would enjoy it. That was last weekend. This weekend another friend of mine who I haven’t seen since before Christmas came over. He gave Rob and I one of his old PS2’s, since I had told him that I owned Katamari Damacy and had no system to play it on. Ha. Too bad I didn’t have any games for it. So we went out to the game store, and I had to pick if I wanted to buy Katamari Damacy again, or if I wanted to buy it’s sequel, We ♥ Katamari! I went with the sequel. This is probably the only time you’ll ever hear of me skipping to the second of something without finishing the first. Anyway, this was worth it, it’s got 2 player mode, so Rob and I can both play together. Technically, I beat it already, having rolled up the sun and getting all the parts to the story line movie clips, but Rob pointed out, there’s crazy replay value here, I haven’t even gotten the best I could have on all the boards, and haven’t even played some of them at all yet. Not to mention I haven’t gotten all of the characters or gifts yet. I think that We ♥ Katamari! was a good choice. If you get a chance to play it, please do so, you’ll like it!

This morning (afternoon really, but it was right after I woke up), I was cranky. I didn’t know it, until I tried to play WoW and nearly bit Rob’s head off. Apparrently, I have some issues that begin with how most of the friends I’ve made in life have altogether stopped calling me or even wanting to hang out with me or contact me in any way, leaving me feeling very worthless and expendable, and ending with me not wanting to group in WoW because I’ve conditioned myself to not work together with or rely on people, and to do things on my own wherever possible. It may sound absolutely asinine to you, but it makes perfectly logical sense in my head.
The fact that it makes sense to me doesn’t make me any less sad about the fact that I can’t make (or haven’t made) friends. It makes me wonder if I’m completely not worth knowing for an extended period of time, or if people around here are just really flaky.
And it’s funny, since that happened this morning, one of my friends from high school who has been pretty much ignoring me and denying my attempts to hang out with her, called me tonight wanting to know if I could hang out because she was bored. But on the phone she actually told me that she called me only after she had called every other one of her friends that she could think of, and she also called her dad to hang out before she called me. Let me tell you how great THAT felt. :[

Tomorrow is day 1 of the last 10 days of employment for this stupid company. It’s only a half day, and I’m pretty sure I won’t lose my mind. Speaking of which, I should be getting to bed!!
