Most of my gaming experience comes from Atari and Super Nintendo. I like the bouncy games. Mario and such. Cute pixelated goodness and isn't "cute" against some sort of gamer code of honor?

And despite my nickname online, I have never once, ever, played the game Halo. I'm not even sure what the game is about. I think guns are involved. I know it isn't bouncy. Boys like it. Um... yeah.

But every once in a while I get on a game kick and I like to share the fun. The new game is... Rock, Paper, Scissors or... Ro-Sham-Bo Fu . I am like a god damned ninja at this game. Really! I rarely lose and now people won't play with me because of how awesome I am.

The best part is that I get paid to play the game. Every time I win, I get some change... real change. Sure, pennies don't sound like much but if you rule like me, soon you're cashing out at $20.00. Yeah, yeah. Don't believe me? Try it. You'll like it!

And if Ro-Sham-Bo Fu isn't your thing, there's also Hi-Lo and Gold Rush, though I'm not very good at either one of those. They both take some sort of actual skill, which I don't have.

All three games are offered by a place called Moola (such a cute name) which is still in Beta mode. It's an invite only place but I have 99 invites left! All you have to do is clicky-do and you'll automatically use up one of my invites. Just pop in your email and you're in! And then you can play with me! Because games just aren't as fun when no one you know plays with you.

So join, play, make moooooola!

So... how are you?

There are lots of things that bring happiness into my life. Andrew, Pixi, Bean, candy, Pee Wee Herman, Muppets, Animal Crossing, furry creatures and... Neil Cicierega. He gained much of his popularity when he started posting videos of his Potter Puppet Pals, which I adore, but that isn't the only reason I adore him.

See, Neil is much younger than me but he still reminds me of when I was 5 years old. He has this... Pinwheel quality to him and I love it. Let us not forget that he's incredibly adorable too.

We have baby bunnies living in our front lawn. They were almost hacked up by the lawn mower so they had to be moved.

This one is named Blinkee (by Bean) because he was so calm and just blinked at her while she talked directly to his tiny face.

What was the last great epiphany you had?

That I really, really, REALLY dislike chat rooms. People just don't seem to get my humor and assume far too much about me. I suppose I come off as abrasive in type when that is the furthest thing from my intentions. When I actually am being abrasive and mean, people think it's sarcasm and funny.

*sigh*

Oh well.

Chat rooms. Hate them.

Pixi had her first ever adventure outside in the grass yesterday. She smiled. She ate clovers. She walked all kinds of funny. She had fun.

I realized I probably worry about this little creature too much. She's a little over six months old and still looks too small to me. If she sleeps too much I worry that she's sick. I worry that she doesn't eat enough. I feel her belly constantly for lumps of any kind. I'm always checking her butt to make sure it's clean and dry.

Then yesterday I watched her and Bean play outside in the sun together and realized I have nothing to worry about. She's the happiest and most loved (and most spoiled) hamster I've ever seen. I appreciate the little creature.

What have you lost that you wish you still had?

First... wtf??

Sunday, the 6th, was Bean's 14th birthday. I got her this awesome necklace made by StOOpidgErl, aka Kim, who I totally love. She's amazing. Really. Go look and buy up all her things. And if you do, tell her I sent you so she'll be my best friend.

I also got two necklaces made by Kim. One says "Whore". The other says "Eat Me". Can you see why I love her? Of course you can.

I've yet to take a proper photo of the child as a 14 year old. This one will do for now. It's a self portrait of... well... herself.
