Just wanted to say hi since I haven't posted in awhile. I just came back from a trip to the East Coast and several Asian countries. I bought lots of gaming stuff while I was in Japan and Hong Kong since I won't be there again for a long time. I got an Ice Blue DS, Blue PSP and a couple of PS3/PSP/NDS games. The 360 games were super cheap but I didn't get any since they won't play on a US machine. For example, Forza 2 only costs $35 in Hong Kong!
My trip almost got ruined though by a scam retailer in HK. I fully pre-paid for a Virtua Stick High Grade which I was supposed to get the next day. Instead the guy tried to pass off the Hori Fighting Stick 3 as a VS:HG. I had to restrain myself from kicking his ass. He pretended it was a mistake even though it was obvious that he knew what a VS:HG is. After much bargaining, I finally forced him to give me the PS3 Gaiden to make up for the price difference. In the end, I wasn't able to obtain a VS:HG , which was one of my most wanted items,since I had to come back to the States.
Still, it was a really fun trip and it was especially enjoyable because it will be my last vacation for a very long time. I hope that everyone else is having a fun summer.

I'm on summer vacation, I don't go back to work until August 20th. I still get paid, though. :D
Summer has been pretty awesome so far.
-
Pretty bad.

It was great until two weeks ago when the gf went off to Europe for 7 weeks, and my best friend went off to work on a cruise ship.
Now I'm in my small rural town with almost no friends around and little to do. No job either atm.
-
i graduated school a long time ago. so i can summarize my summer in one word: work.
-

got a ton of exams and hefty homework loads for a few weeks... yay
also, wtf man I'm feeling this with you, what a goddamn asscumer this guy was... this shit's like an holy relic of gaming, when one's laid his filthy hands on a Virtua Stick, he wouldn't ever consider making hands contact with any other stick
-
It's nice right now because we're having near-record LOW temperatures in my area. Woohoo!
-
pretty horrible, I have nothing to do. I went to a pool hall and learned what that extra stick with the weird tip does. The one that's mean to help you line up long shots.
-
I moving away from alaska, so good. First a short stay in california and from there who knows...
-
I've been working. And school starts in a week. Year round school. So once that starts up I'll be working full time AND going to school. Yay me.
-
Don't go to california if you're not going to be in the bay area. It's pretty crappy in L.A. and everything else is a farm. With lots of cows.
-
I've been working. Sucks to be me. :(
-
It's horrible. This is my first time doing retail. :-\

It's good, better than the last few ones at least. Lots of partying in people's backyards and stuff. Gonna see Armin a week from Fri, and Tiesto the week after, which is gonna be awesome.
-
Summer while working a job means it's hot out when you go to work. But as for events that are happening during this time I'm going to see Necrophagist in NYC on Sunday :hyper and I'll be seeing Muse on Aug 6th with mah woman and I'll be able to meet mupupu and cajolejuice. :-* Then the week after that I'll be on vacation in Cape Cod with the family. I'm also going to try and find more concerts to go to with my best friend from high school.
-

Terrible. I am very sad because I have finally realised I donīt like single player games anymore. I am sick of them. I have bought a few critically acclaimed titles and I have hated them all.
My 360 is doomed.
I hate my job.
I am still virgin.
I caught a cold yesterday.
I want to commit suicide. I canīt take this shit anymore.

Wha? San Francisco makes California worth going to, and Sacramento isn't so bad either.

Mines just really starting today. I'm fucking happy as hell. :D

You said you'd enjoy your last summer for me! It better be going well, or else >:(

But that's the thing. I don't want it to end :-\

A mismash of work, school, shitting blood and chicks drama.

Not bad. I've been going to gym everyday after work, swimming and lifting weights. My goal is to lose 20 pounds. I've lost 5 so far. I've been gaming but not too much. I've been playing Stardust HD, Super Paper Mario, and Crackdown of late. I actually took a couple months off culinary school, which I was going to part time in the weekends. Working full-time and going to school part-time really kills your social life, but I only have one more year to go. I needed to have my summer weekends. I'm looking forward to cooking more, checking out more restaurants, cycling, going the beach, and chilling with friends. I'm on vacation next week too. Woo hoo. Summer is so awesome.
-
Bz?! EVERYONE SOUNDS LIKE BZ!
-
pretty bad. the people i regularly hang out with are on vacation and i have some school stuff left to do :'(
MAF, STOP CHANGING NAMES :maf

shitting blood
Wait what?

shitting blood
Wait what?
he made a thread about it, it was hilarious.
-

bay area includes san francisco and sacramento.
-
Sure, if Sacramento weren't a giant valley.
-
well it's in driving distance. A really long, boring drive but it's possible to drive there. I think it takes 3 hours to get from fremont to sacramento by BART.
-
every week is 4 days of cramming chemistry, and 2 days of the super-stress job. my one day feels so weird sometimes that i start working on other things when it comes around... just because it feels weird NOT to work.
or I play Phantasy Star Universe lately..

I graduated high school and didnt keep any friends after graduation; I'll never talk to them again and I can't say I'm upset. Sure I don't hang out with anyone, but I work Friday + Saturdays answering phones at a train station here in NH, with hot girls in the room talking about how they have sex all the time, and it's the greatest thing in the world. Plus, everytime I come close to saving enough money for a MacBook I blow it on DVD's or games. That sucks. But regardless, no sex, I contemplated a escort but eh I can wait. I start college in September and this has been one of the best most relaxing summers in a while. NO motivation to do anything, don't have to put up with "friends" and it's just awesome.

If Jerry and Kramer didnt look so out of place I would totaly get that printed and hang it on my wall.
-
Oh and i'm also writing a movie script. It's cool.
-
that shit is awesome
-
Yeah they did a PRISTINE job on George + Elaine, not so much Kramer and Jerry :(. Jerry's head is too big and Kramer as C3PO....eh
-
What the heck is George supposed to be sitting on?

A junkyard R2D2

Well I kept no close friends. I was a nice dude in HS so everyone who wasn't pre-judgemental and talked to me was a "friend". I had a rough high school; I was out my freshmen year with a serious illness, by first best friend moved in sohpmore year then my other best friend moved Junior year, so all I had were these "friends" and no "best friends". Neither of the prior two best friends talk to me anymore, which just sucks ass. One's just gone into oblivion and skipped my Graduation Party, and the other moved to South/North Carolina, lost alot of weight and his glasses and got interested in girls and drugs and alchohol and just forgot about me. It's like that saying in Clerks 2, "If I had known that you'd ditch me in ten years, I wouldn't have even bothered with your ass in the first place." Too true.
I have one person I consider a best friend but I don't like, hang out with him or anything. He got me a job at the place we work though so! Although I think he's still mad I stole his Computer Programming school award away from him on Awards Night :lol
-
Alright I guess. The GF and I moved into our own place after living with my rents for a bit (we used to be long distance so it was that or barely ever see each other, so yeah) and we're considering going on vacay somewheres semi close but haven't got much of an idea about where to go.

Summer doesn't mean shit when you're working. Plus summer vacation hasn't started here yet...not that it matters when it does, since teachers still have to go to school, and sit and bake in the air conditioner-devoid teachers' room. Yay. Ichirou knows what's up; you feel my pain, right man?
At least the weather hasn't been that hot. I'm not sweating like mad like last year.
Getting married saturday :o :o but she won't be moving in until the end of the month, so nothing's really going to be any different until then.

Sucks to be you, dude. They turned on the air conditioning in the teachers' room at my base school starting last Tuesday. :)
