My Life in Video Games

Growing up, I was a PC gamer. There's a picture of me when I was two playing on a computer. My dad took me to work with him, where I would play Putt Putt and Sesame Street games on the computers. Yes, I was a quite nerdy child.

When I was six, my sister and I got two Nintendo Gameboy Advance's and a Nintendo GameCube for Christmas. We each got one game with our Gameboys, mine being Rayman Advance and hers being Lady Sia. Since I liked the indigo Gameboy and Lady Sia, and she liked the fuchsia Gameboy and Rayman, we switched our games and Gameboys. We still both have the games and the Gameboys. We got two games with our GameCube, Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race Blue Storm. My dad sold Luigi's Mansion, but I still have Wave Race Blue Storm. (Which is a great game. If you can find it, check it out.) I have bought and traded probably at least 30 GameCube games since I got the GameCube for Christmas when I was six.

When I was seven, I got my own computer. I was probably jumping around screaming in joy. I remember coming home from my grandparents for two weeks, and seeing a desk and PC in my room. I've had PC's ever since, but now since my last PC crashed, I've been leaning more towards netbooks and laptops.

Then in 2002, Kingdom Hearts was released. And I wanted it SO badly. I begged my parents for years, which led to them buying Chain of Memories for me before getting Kingdom Hearts. I didn't get Kingdom Hearts until 2006, when I got a PlayStation 2 with my Christmas money. That year, I bought Shamu's Deep Sea Adventure (I was eleven, give me a break), Kingdom Hearts and Need For Speed Underground 2. Later on, I bought Kingdom Hearts II, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, The Sims Castaway, Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary. (Yes, I bought, played and finished two Tomb Raider games. And not because of Lara Croft's severely disproportional body. They're good games.) I still have these games, and several more that I have lost over the years.

Then a few years ago, I got a Wii. I got Wii Games and Wii Sports with it. I haven't used it much, but I still use it for GameCube games since my GameCube died. (My sister spilled something on it and it hasn't worked since.)

I'm still a huge PC gamer, look at my cabinets and shelves of video games if you don't believe me. I have hundreds of PC games, about 20 PS2 games, around 20 Wii games and over 30 GameCube games. When you add these all together, I'm a pretty huge video game nerd. Quite a few of the PC games are actually my dad's from as long ago as Windows 95 (and maybe earlier), and quite a few are mine, mainly mystery games, The Sims and any MMORPG, or most RPG's for that matter. I think the only games I don't have are first-person-shooters (FPS), and that's because I'm saving up for an Xbox 360 so I can play on Xbox Live with my friends.

Ever since I've had more guy friends, I've become more geeky. This is either a good thing or a bad thing.

Garbage, Prescriptions and Loft Beds

When I woke up, my cat had taken over the majority of my twin-sized bed. And when I went downstairs (it was about noon) I heard "WOOHOO!! SHE"S UP!!!" And I walked in the opposite direction of where the sound was coming from.
Then my dad came home and told me to empty out the car, and take out the garbage. By then I had only been awake for ten minutes. And telling a half-awake fifteen-year-old to do chores after only being awake ten minutes is like telling a llama to roller skate. Nearly impossible.
So I did the chores and went to my corner. My "corner" is the corner of the home office/living room in my house. Also known as where I spend my life.
My mom got excited every time the phone rang, thinking it was the doctor's office giving details about her mother's prescriptions. Because we were confused about how many pills to give her each day. So they finally called to say that she should take 3 of these kind,  of these kind, 2 of these kind and 1 with every meal. Which I would easily confuse me.
And while they were gone, I was looking at furniture on ikea.com. I always wanted a loft bed, so I can fit more crap in my room. And play DDR at 2 am. So my PS2 can actually be used. And I realized that I do have space for a loft bed in my room. My only problem is that the website does not tell you the weight limit for the bed. Because my dad told me it was 100 pounds. Which is my problem. I am 5' 4" and weigh about 110 pounds. So I don't think I can own a loft bed. But there's the little voice in my head that says my dad is wrong. And I guess the reason they don't put the weight limit is not to insult people.
BUT I NEED TO KNOW.
