This entire week has been both the best and worst week.
I don't think I can adequately recollect it, except for maybe trying to summarizing it.
Part of it showed me that I haven't spent these past years pencil pushing for naught; and that I actually have some knowledge that would actually benefit people outside my place of work.
Parts of it helped me reaffirm how many amazing, talented, wonderful, caring, hospitable, loving, supportive, funny, brilliant, etc. friends I have.
Parts of it reminded me how much I love LA, thanks in part of the horse-drawn Cinderella-like coach that rode past my house (that's just the tip of the iceberg).
Parts of it also reminded me of how much of a super gamer geek I can really be.
Parts of it further proved I am not the same person to any two people, and that I'm still not even sure who that person is.
Lots of it reminded me how much I miss reading, creating, playing video games, thinking/dreaming up ideas, and even experiment with cooking.
And all of it made me realize that I need to follow my bliss, even if it scares me, it makes me feel vulnerable, I might fail a bit, I'll have to swallow my pride, I have to stand up for myself, I'm better trusting my instincts, and most of all, I just have to close my eyes, hold my breath, and just jump in.

Everyone is this way. This bothered me until someone affirmed that it's abnormal to act the same way with everyone.
I guess so. Perhaps in subtle ways, but it seems as though I'm not even the same person to one person (it was mentioned to me yesterday)
This person must be close to you for those words to have affected you so. If this is true, you know close friends' comments are rarely, if ever, subjective.
The other day I started speaking in iambic pentameter to my parents. I told them this is who I am and I act like this all the time. They said, "alright, coolcat. Keep on the beat, child."
Ok, ms. gamer geek - what's your wii ID, we finally got Mario Kart
Frank, it's just I'm pretty sensitive to those things, particularly right now. It wasn't meant in a bad way, but it made me think, especially since two people in a weekend kind of alluded to something like that.
My sister and I talk about/say some pretty strange things, and it makes my parents wonder sometimes. It's very rare that it dawns on them that some of the stuff they talk about are WAY OUT THERE. Sis and I didn't fall far from the tree.
D, I don't have Mario Kart Wii! Technically, I don't even have a Wii! My sister has it, and even when I'm over, it's all been about basketball over there and by the time it's Mario Kart time, I've already passed out from sitting on the cough and/or need to go home.
I do have Wiimotes to use for now, and a few Gamecube controllers...does that help?
It does, though, we are just one nunchuck short of a set of 4 wiimote/nunchuck combos. the most frustrating thing is our pathetically small tv. Still, you are welcome to come over with your wii mote and have a go.
So I take it that you guys don't like using the Wiieel? I don't particularly like it, either. I hear that using the Gamecube controller is the optimal controller for the game. I just gave my sister another one to use, but I have two more, one being a wireless controller if you want to try.
It sounds like that maybe trying to get 4 people playing at once may prove to be a challenge...could be fun!
