Behold! A random update full of ...things. Mostly shiny things!
My tax refund! Which covers the money I lost to car repairs and then some. Now I just need to worry about deposit-money and moving expenses, and assuming I ever work up the nerve, I'll be able to move! <3
...I did spend a little of that on a new external hard drive, though. I keep my writing and photos on that, as well as my music collection - the low grinding noise the old one had been making since its little accident was freaking me out. o.o I mean. My writing. Suppose it had died and there was a surge in the electricity and my computer died too! Unlikely? Yes. But I don't care, I feel better now anyway. ;)
I finally got my refund for the defective dvd/vcr combo of last year. A few weeks ago, actually, and I cashed the check and have been sitting on said cash since. I just couldn't work up any enthusiasm for buying another one. Well, I finally got myself out to the mall area today, stopped in Michael's for much oohing and aahing and a little actual shopping in the crafts section (wheee!) and then to Best Buy?
And started feeling really uphappy. I mean it went from meh to wondering why I'd bothered to come out. So I stopped, and looked at the selection and thought, okay, why am I even doing this? Well, because I feel like I ought to. How much am I going to use this if I buy it? Hardly ever. Waste of money, of which there is not a lot because I am not even touching the refund. ...and what would I rather have?
A DS. And a Wii and an X-Box and every single game I've ever wanted to play, right? ^^; But a DS I can get. And if I wait and check out Game Stop, I might get a used one and thus also have the money for my first game for said DS. And I felt so much better! And tomorrow, presuming that I both get up on time to go out and actually find what I want at Game Stop, I will feel even happier! Yes. That is the plan. Because, you know, I can think of 4 or 5 games off the top of my head that I want for the DS. I drool at them every day when I pass through the electronics section at work! And if I can't find a copy of that FF I cannot remember the number of it but it's the one with Kain and Cecil and Rosa - if I don't find it at Game Stop I have seen it at work. Yes.
And then I'll have to proritize on the other games, though currently that new Zelda one and The World Ends With You are tying. I mean. Zelda! I miss Zelda so much.
...I have this feeling I was going to say something else? But drooling over games has distracted me. XD
ETA: Oh wait, I remember one thing - I passed through the Wii games while I was there, and found this Magnificent Thing which I will someday own? A mystery sort of game played from the point of view of either a tarantula or a scorpion, your choice.
A Tarantula or a Scorpion! How awesome is that? :D I don't even care what the game is about, really, I just want to play as the tarantula. XD

1. Yah, that one looked interesting...once you get past the being an arachnid thing, or if you *enjoy* arachnids (IT'S SPIDER SEASON, apparently, along with the burgeoning plant!sex >.<)
2. I think it's Four? Or Three? I think they actually managed to put most of the older FFs on GameBoy Advance cartridges now? And there's the old Zelda games and sparkly new ones and so much Pokemon!!!!!! and--be sure to get a DS Lite, so you can play DS *and* GBA games? The new DS will not have the GBA slot any more. twits =p
3. (well, sorta goes with 2, now that I think about it? But hey^^) Yep, yep, GameStop will give good deals on the DS Lite *and* the games, and if you happen to have a shop near you called Game Over? Look in there, too--they've got one around here now, and it's giving GameStop a run for its money--so many older games, and systems, and nods to the newbies, too! Beaucoup GBA/DS games! I think I saw a *Nomad* in there, man!^^
ohh, yeah, I remember why I separated this one now: ooooh, Michael's!*_*
shiny-shopping is good =D
*squish* (and general yays to car-fixing, and saving for moving...ewww, moving...but, have you decided where you want to go? Or were you going to find a place in Florida first, then hop to Chicago?)

2. It's Four! IV! And shiny and mine now. <3 And, your advice was noted and I made sure I got a Lite. :)
3. I'm thinking about a place here for now? Job security, man. x.x Also the whole thing is making me horribly nervous, I've never done this by myself before, so. Best to start small?
