Second Life
After months of excitement & anticipation, the New Xbox Experience finally became available to the general public today. I've been looking forward to it since it was first announced (mostly 'cause I already grew bored of the "Blades" dashboard in a short period of 5 months), so as soon as the clock struck 12 last night I began turning on my Xbox intermittently to see if the update was up yet. xD I even went so far as waking up during my sleep (I didn't even have to force myself...I guess I was just that excited xP) twice to check if it was available. At 7, when I woke up for the third time, it was finally there, & I squealed in delight despite not even being fully conscious, lol. I quickly made myMii Avatar & installed Fallout 3 so I could play later. The process took no longer than 10 minutes (I think it was closer to 8) & I have to say it cuts the noise by A LOT. Too bad I only have a 20 HDD, or else I would install all my games onto it just so that I won't have to put up with that friggin' "jet engine" ever again, lol. All in all, I'm liking this update...=) Although I have to say it does look a bit more childish/less hardcore than the one before, possibly a part of Microsoft's attempt to lure the casual gamers. Anyway, here's my new gamercard, complete with my Avatar...it doesn't look TOTALLY like me, I know, but it has the gist. There aren't many choices just yet (especially for clothes), so I did the best I could. I think it already looks pretty good though.

Clapping With One Hand
To me, the worst thing about being single is not having that certain someone who's (more or less) obligated to hang out with you wherever & whenever. Over the summer I've had so many ideas on places to visit, food to eat, movies to watch, etc. etc., yet none of them were realized since I couldn't find anybody who was available for any of it. So to the world (& by that I mean my parents =P) I just seemed like a lazy, lethargic homebody who had nothing better to do but to sleep/eat/game/watch TV/clean/play the occasional tennis/surf the net. I don't wanna sound too depressed about it, because I really wasn't; being an only child & all, I've learnt to entertain myself for the past 25 years, & I've gotten quite good at it. But it certainly didn't help my case with the terrifyingly dramaless life or encouraged me to come up with any more outing plans. If anything, it probably made me less willing to try & have fun with my friends, making this life even duller...it's all a vicious cycle.
It's late & I'm beat...think I'll stop writing before someone leaves me the number to a suicide hotline in my comment box, lol (I really am not that upset...I just like to whine xP). Stay safe & party extra hard on my behalf. ;)
