Hi, everyone! Sorry I haven't been on here... I've been über busy lately with school, family, and stuff. I'll probably be gone for the rest of this week as well, if not longer. I'll be back, though!

I'm slowly getting better at bowling. Being on the team is really fun, but it's time-consuming. There's a match after school today...I hope our team does well!

In other news, I just found out I have depression. For those who don't know, it's an illness that makes you feel sad a lot and lose interest in things (to sum it up). I try to be cheerful despite this, though. I always try to keep a happy tone in my blogs, at least. ^_^

Well, see ya later! I promise I'll come back on when I have more free time!

Random Fact: The average person has about 1,460 dreams a year. (If that's the case, I definitely don't remember most of them. )

I ignored my alarm clock this morning,continued sleeping,and went to school an hour late. Man, that extra bit of sleep sure felt good. It was nice and refreshing, even though missing school isn't exactly a good thing. ^_^;

I bought eleven new manga books! Whoo! Now I've got about 140 in my collection... Dang, that's a lot. Also, I bought Final Fantasy X. Such a fun game! RPGs are the best.

But I've got to stop buying stuff for myself! Time to save up for Christmas shopping. I've got lots of friends and family to buy gifts for. I'm even gonna draw a Christmas card for all my friends here on tv.com/gamespot. (I'll put that up in a future blog near Christmas time. I haven't started drawing it yet...)

Random Fact: From Pokémon, Ekans is 'snake' spelled backwards. Its evolved form, Arbok, is 'cobra' spelled backwards. (But you change the 'c' to a 'k'.)

So there I was--in my room playing Kingdom Hearts. I was battling all-out against the hardest boss in the entire game, Sephiroth. I had him down to his last life bar...his health was slipping...just a few more seconds and I'd win...O_O;; I was concentrating really hard, focusing completely on the screen, one single goal in my mind...WHAM! My bedroom door swung open. I looked up to see who had the nerve to invade my room at this crucial moment--it was my dad. I looked back to the tv screen and saw the GAME OVER picture, meaning I'D LOST AGAINST SEPHIROTH. AGAIN.

My dad had ruined everything. I looked up to him, wondering what could possibly have been so important as to wreck my battle against Sephiroth, and you know what he said? He said, "Oh, hey. How do you spell 'pretty'?" *twitch* *twitch*

This actually happened to me a while ago. It still frustrates me when I think about it, though... It took me about five more tries to beat Sephiroth after that. Gah!! X( Anyway, for school I had to give a speech on something that makes me mad, and that's part of the speech I gave. I got an A on it, 'cause apparently I'm really good at talking in front of an audience.

Random Fact: President Bush is sending a turkey to Disney World in a first c.lass plane. This turkey will be the grand marshal of "Disney's Thanskgiving Day Parade." It is an American tradition to give "pardons" to turkeys on Thanksgiving... (For more information, click here.) Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
