Goblet of Fire

Just a few updates on life in general. Not a large bit of excitement has happened lately, but there are a few key points of interest.

- I got to play an XBOX 360 for a fairly decent ammount of time this weekend. Played Perfect Dark Zero for about 30 minutes. I also watched my Assistant Manager play King Kong and Madden '06. It made me realize the integrity of the system and actually excited me. Though since we are preordered up through sometime next year, I shrugged it off. Then low and behold. We got an extra Core Unit in and every suggested I drop some trades on it, get the system, a memory card, and Perfect Dark Zero. So in my excitement I traded in my Nintendo DS all three games, Radiata Stories, and Soul Calibur III, along with some miscellanious DVDs I don't watch anymore. SO! Come Nov. 22nd (Tuesday), I shall own an XBOX 360.

- Xerox. I'm getting...rather aggitated with working there. 3 months of going in nearly every day doing the same repetitious task over and over again. I find its not something i'm entirely capable of. After this week i'm thinking of calling and maybe requesting I only work 2 or 3 days (actually nights-into-mornings...) there and let EB know i'm available for the holidays as they need to use me. As they told me it would be nice to give me 40 hours. My love for my EB job has really been rekindled thanks to Xerox. Xerox has made me appreciate my DAY TIME and SOCIAL job at EB Games...I really wish I knew what to do. Advice would be extremely welcome...

- Sunday afternoon I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I was sooo excited driving up there that i'd ramble about it, or anything in general and didn't make much sense. So my impressions of the movie are a bit weak, though I still greatly enjoyed it. It just was missing soooo much from the book. Least I think it was, maybe i'm just cloudy minded. Though it was so fast-paced that I found myself filling in parts of the movie with parts of the book, in my mind. Just so I felt more comfortable. Hermione was a bit RAWR, but like many have said. She's at a very big stage in her existence as a female. She still has my love :3

- The viewing of Goblet of Fire was great and all. But I brought Amy with me, who wanted to see it as well. She was flirty, quite a great deal. But when I was on the way to her house to pick her up, I stopped at a gas station to gather my thoughts. The whole thing was ordained as a date, yet now I felt I didn't want it to be. I felt I wanted it to just be two friends hanging out. So I finally realized I desired only that from her, that I don't care to be anything more. I also though maybe my mind would change once we were face to face. However it didn't. All her flirting put a slanted smile on my face, though i'd try to give her a bit of a hassle here and there just to seem responsive. Its really hard to know how to act when realize you like someone as a person, as a friend, and not what you had originally thought. This is the first time such a thing has happened to me. Maybe i've grown up some...Ontop of that once we got back from the movies she wanted me to watch the rest of 'Contact' with her. So I sort of reluctantly did. Then her psychotic ex came hammering on the door. Throwing insults at me blah,blah,blah, etc. Wish he knew it was just a friend thing, because these days I don't want anything else from her. @_@; Sigh.

- Time to read Order of the Phoenix! I've put it off for too long and I must have the last two finished before the next book/movie comes out. Just seems silly to not have them read even by now.

So thats that, for now. Very confused (about life), desireful of something different (than Xerox), and eager for new things (books and XBOX 360).
