It's really been too long

I don't really update that much anymore. I got an AIM message from Tina asking what happened to my site, and I checked it out... It's been so long since I updated, that my site had nothing on the front page. Well, now it does.

I just got back from watching 28 Days Later, and it was a really good movie. Everybody says it's a "zombie flick", which is true, but they add a new twist to the zombies... Most zombies are portrayed as stumbling, slow, dumb creatures. They were never really threatening, because they moved like a 90 year-old crippled man. In 28 days later, the zombies sprint around really fast, and it makes it scarier because outrunning the zombies on foot isn't really an option.

This is pretty old news, but a few days after my birthday (June 15), my friends threw me a surprise party at Chuck E Cheese's, and I think it was the coolest thing that anybody has ever done for me. It was really cool and I hope everybody that was involved knows that I really enjoyed it and it really meant a lot to me.

I reactivated my Asheron's Call account YET AGAIN, and I put a nice chunk of time into it since then. The AC binge has died down slightly over the past week, but it's mainly because I found another MMORPG, that is in beta testing but is an *extremely* good game and worth playing. Even if it IS gonna be over in 11 days. Too bad it's all in CHINESE and I can't understand a DAMN THING. Please come out in the US.

Let's see... what else...

My NWN mod has been put on hold, maybe forever, maybe not. I haven't been playing NWN much, and I don't feel like I am really qualified to make a module yet, because I don't have enough knowledge of the later levels of the game to make stronger monsters balanced... I need to know the mechanics of the game before I start adding to it... I might buy Shadows of Undrentide once I get some money. I'm probably gonna start working at Admiral a few days, so I just might have money again. I promised myself I'd start saving up for a new computer though, so I might have to just stick with the entertainment of Asheron's Call and illegally downloaded games until I have enough money to buy a new comp. After that, I'll buy whatever I want... I just need a new comp.

I really wanna make it back to the LAN sometime... As long as I have a decent spot to set up in, and there's not too many people. I get really uncomfortable when I'm around a lot of people for long periods of time. Especially when there's people that I don't really know. I know I could just introduce myself to them and I would technically "know" them, but I have trouble talking to people that I haven't been around a whole lot. I've had the same problem with all of my friends... every single one of you, even though you may not know it, when I first met you, I was probably pretty uncomfortable around you. But after being around you guys for a while, I got comfortable. There's kind of that process with everybody I meet. If there's people around that I don't know, chances are that I won't talk nearly as much, if at all. I'm always afraid that I'll say something that somebody could take offensively, even if it wasn't meant to be. So, I just stay quiet.

Which is probably why I was pretty quiet for a lot of the time I was at the last LAN (or current lan, for people that are there). Lots of people around I didn't really know.
