Hear ye! Hear ye! His Royal Highness Prince Aidan McKenzie hath written another blog! Read its contents with due haste or suffer the consequences! 
(And there *will* be consequences, perhaps involving terse messages, llamas,and ALL CAPS).
So. Homecoming is next week.
Normally, I wouldn't waste my time talking about it, cuz I hate school dances (or anything that requires me to dress up and/or wear a tie). But Courtney is very excited about all this, so I'm stuck going. 
Of course... there is an upside to this whole situation that has caused my EGO TO GROW EVEN BIGGER! Every year, each cIass votes for its own Homecoming King/Queen. The finalists are called the Homecoming Court and the winners are revealed at the dance. And this year, I made the cut! 
Of course, if I win, I won't actually be the king... cuz only seniors get that title. So as a junior, I'd be Prince Aidan. Of course, I doubt I'll win cuz I'm not a football player, but it's still enough to give my ego a huge boost 
But yeah... enough about that.
Well.........On to something that is actually exciting! 
If you read my last blog, then you know that my Xbox 360 took a giant crap. Not the Red Ring of Death. Apparently this one was called the "Open Tray Error." Every time I put a disc into the drive, my 360 would say "Reading Disc,"make a whole bunch of strange noises and then just say "Open Tray" as if there was no disc in there.
Well... I finally took my 360 back to Best Buy! And not only was I able to get a brand new Xbox 360 free of charge... because of the price cuts on the 360 since I got mine last year, I was actually able to upgrade to the Elite system! Of course... ... This means that my consoles aren't color coordinated any more I almost didn't go for the Elite for that reason, but I ultimately caved in for that 120 GB of storage space.
Maybe I'll paint it?
I also got Halo 3: ODST (Finally! A multiplayer 360 game that isn't Fable II!).And Kingdom Hearts: 358/2. I haven't really played either one cuz I've been spending all of my gaming time with that wretched, evil abomination of a game...Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. 
I finally, *FINALLY* got all the way to the final boss yesterday!......Of course,I almost threw my DS across the room during that final battle due to the AI's incredible stupidity. There I am, hacking away at the boss. I get hit and am thrown across the room. Meanwhile, my "partner" is just standing there, NEXT to the boss, not doing anything except taking hits. And there I am, just laying on the floor, also taking hits, because once you're knocked down, you tend to stay down for an unreasonable amount of time, unable to do anything while enemies continue to beat the s*** out of you. So I died. Again. And again. And again. Until finally, I said... F*** THIS And I shut the game off, pretended that I beat it, and watched the ending on YouTube. 
So now I'm *finally* playing Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story! And it's AWESOME! I'm not very far into it, but just seeing Fawful go on about watching his enemies "fold like napkins that are crying" was enough to make me forget all about Echoes of Time!
Fawful is the best villian. EVER.
In other news... I don't like dogs 
I'm *still* taking care of my Aunt's dog while she's on vacation. I don't know what it is, but there is just something about those beasts that doesn't sit right with me I think it might have something to do with the fact that you like, have to hunt for their s*** in the yard. I mean, with Jade, it's almost always in the litter box, and when it's not, its always on my BED cuz the litter box is dirty. But dogs, man... they just drop a deuce at random anywhere in the yard and you have to go searching all over like some sort of treasure hunter to find it. Not my sort of thing. 
Then again, dogs are *always* happy to see you. No matter what. Jade, on the other hand, gets the grumblies all the time and doesn't want to see anyone. And yes, I just used the word "grumblies." Yeah. Have a kid. See what it does to your vocabulary
And here's a completely random pic of my shoes. Why?... Heh... why not?

. Well I'm glad you finally have moved on to Bowser's Inside Story, because it's awesome! My only beef with the game is... oh wait, Fawful lacks beef. Fawful is beefless . I actually think it's pretty darned close to perfect. Although just barely below Superstar Saga. Well I hope you keep enjoying it!
Your opening for the blog kinda reminded me of Greyfield. XD
You're my third friend to get ODST! This is obviously a sign we should all get online and Firefight the night away!
hope you win though and cool 360 I actually like the color black over white and 120 gb cant hurt either.
Congrats on the 360 upgrade and 120 GB hard drive. Having a larger hard drive is a serious convenience, especially when you need to install games.
Hahaha, I can't believe you just stopped playing Final Fantasy, but I can't say that I wouldn't of have done the same thing myself. Devil Survivor got way too hard in the end, and after attempting to beat the final bosss 15 times, looking up strategies online, and busting the front of my forehead against the wall, I just gave up on the freakin' game. You're suppose to enjoy games right? Not force yourself to endure its painful agonizing suffering. But now I feel guilty, in my head I say that I've finished every game in my collection, but in my heart I know that there's that one game that I truly never finished. Hahahahaha!!!
And good luck , I guess , with your delusions of grandeur. Make sure you're titled, "Prince(ss) Aidan, of Ponyland," or something like that. We have to actually submit a lot of paperwork in order to be Homecoming whatever...no nominations at my school. So typical. And taking care of dogs is no fun. People say that a "dog is man's best friend" but we all know that's a lie. Cats, F.T.W.
I can't wait for us to go to Homecoming! It will be quite fun, I'm sure of it!
Go AIDAN!!! You'll now have a new title: Prince aidan.
Aidan, do not read the rest of my post:
To everyone else, I did actually read it. I'm just trying to see if he will follow through on his threats.
I definitely wouldn't let you get attacked by any llamas. And I'm making good progress with Bowser's Inside Story. Just met up with some of Bowser's minions for the first time. I love the Goomba in his pajamas @Desulated: I had no idea Greyfield threatened people with llamas.
@Ultimate_Hero: At my school the freshmen are Lord/Lady. I think. So good luck to both of us I guess! And considering how much I disliked Ring of Fates, I should have known Echoes of Time would be horrible
@Marrium1: There's nothing wrong with running shoes. I got a pair of those, too. You know, cuz I am a runner. Really! Anyway, I think I'll just get back to playing that totally awesome freaking sweet Bowser's Inside Story that you do not have @AlmightyMax: Bowser's Inside Story drizzles win on a sandwich of doom! It gives me chortles! And we'll definitely have to play ODST one of these days. But not until I have a chance to play it and get enough skill to suck at the game. Instead of my current skill level... I stink so badly, I make skunks smell like a bed of roses. My gameplay, that is. Not me personally. I think I smell pretty okay.
@reo-117: Thanks man. I hope I win too, but I'm not really expecting to.
Oh well. The new 360 is awesome though! Well, actually it's the same experience as the old one, just without the disc tray errors.
The extra hard drive space is definitely gonna come in handy. My old 20 GB drive was pretty much full at the time of my old 360's demise.@red0584: If your shoes are better than mine, that's a mighty accomplishment, dude, cuz it's almost impossible to be kewler than me
@twilightlullaby: I can't believe I haven't talked to you all week. You're probably just avoiding me so I can't casually mention my royal status every five minutes. But you're totally right, man, dear sweet fluffy little baby kitties FTW!
@nintendo-naut: It's not OCD.
Unless I really do paint my 360 white. No plans on doing that. Yet.@Courtney817: Homecoming... fun?
@hank101: Bowser's Inside Story is really worth checking out! 360's are great too. Just get the warranty @Paul_GameFury: YOU ARE UGLY AND YOUR FEET STINK LIKE A LLAMA.
Yeah. Yeah. What do you think about that? Huh? I bet your wishing you read the whole thing now, huh? ... @megamannt123: Homecoming is the only dance that I do. I have better things to do the rest of the time, like... vacuum. And sharpen pencils
I got all the way to the final boss...... and "circumvented" him to see the ending. Technically, I experienced the entire game. Yes, you do feel kinda bad about doing that at first. But after a while, you can rationalize the lies away and actually believe that you beat the game. There are days when I think back to my time spent with Valkyrie Profile II, and for a moment, I truly do believe that I beat the game Given enough time, you'll feel the same way about Devil Survivor.
