Song I'm Listening To: Still Alive from Mirror's Edge (No cake here, folks...)
XXX
So...I was supposed to buy Portal (the first one) today. Unfortunately GameStop didn't have a used copy, and only had the copy that came in a bundle with that sequel to that other game I don't really feel like buying. I didn't really feel like buying a game I didn't want just to get one I did. I'd be spending money on something I didn't want. I just wanted Portal, damn it! So I decided to buy Mirror's Edge (my second choice) for thirteen bucks for the X Box 360. Then I found a copy of Final Fantasy XII (I bought 13 a few weeks ago. It's great!) under the play station 2 titles for ten bucks. I decided to get both with my twenty dollars I had, and just give my dad four bucks later. I'm so fucking happy!!!! :)
The second I got home I immediately popped Mirror's Edge into the 360. I got about half way through the training part of the game (before the story actually starts) (Actually, I can't really decipher what half way through is, since I've never played the game before. I had to jump from one metal pipe to another. That's all I know), and the game decides to freeze up. I restarted the game twice, and it kept freezing at the same point each time! Needless to say I got rather agitated.
So I decided to wait till my dad got home so I could ask him for help. In case we needed to exchange the game or something. I decided to try playing FFXII instead. Then I remembered that my dad's PS2 lacks a memory card. The one we stole from my mum's house has a memory card, but I have no clue where it is. So I have to wait till my dad's done at our neighbour's house before I can play the game.
So anyway...this is why I hate buying used games. Unfortunately, however, It's nearly impossible to find a new copy of the old final fantasy games (I consider FFXII old, since it came out about four years ago) and even harder to find a new copy of Mirror's Edge (or, at least our local GameStop doesn't seem to have one...). I just home that FFXII works fine. The store only had one copy. Most of my games are new, except for Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. But it works just fine. DS games are harder to screw up. But used games are often cheaper, and I hardly ever have any money. I managed to get two used games today, rather than not even being able to afford one new game.
Today I had therapy. We talked about my mum today, like usual. We also talked about my plans for the future. Seeing as my dreams were crushed several years ago when I found out that "ice cream taste tester" is not appropriate job, and even more recently when I found out that "professional geeks" only exist in my brain, I decided to start thinking of good careers. The medical field would be nice...like a nurse practitioner or something. But I'd love to be a psychologist. That'd be amazing :)
My medication has been changed again. I've been put back on risperdal, and my dose of trileptal has been upped. I saw a different doctor today, and she says that I should be on both a mood stabilizer as well as an ant-psychotic rather than one or the other. I need both to balance everything out. Hopefully I should see some change over the next several weeks.
Well, that's my day. I just realized how long summer is, and I'm not even half way through it yet. I've got a looong way to go. So I'm going to use that time to rewrite Monster (the book that I LOST) and play video games. And I plan to do all that without getting fat. Sounds to me like the perfect summer.
Peace, love, and video games,
