So….it’s 4:30AM, I slept 13-15 hours today, and now I can’t sleep.

I’ve been depressed as shit for the past few weeks because I ended it with the ex. It sucks to go to school 200 miles away and completely realize that a relationship is never going to work out while i’m in school. It took this shitty situation for me to realize this.

So I just checked movie times, and Clerks 2 isn’t in theatres anymore. Argh. But hey, I just broke 10,000 songs on iTunes. That’s sort of impressive. 90,000 more to go. :) Now if only I could get my iBook back from the shop…

103:29 hours until I can move into my apartment and get back to school. I really need to get back to the U of Maryland get to some football games, drink lots of intoxicating substances, and hopefully meet someone of the opposite sex to get my mind off the ex.

I’ll be at the Mets game in a luxury suite Thursday despite being a Yankees fan. And I have no clue where the hell I’m going with all this.

So I can’t sleep, and am contemplating what game I should whip out and start playing: GW: Factions or ES: Oblivion. All summer i’ve either been working, with the ex, or since finishing work and ending it with her, been going out all the time. Now I’m home, and want to play games, but it’s been so long since I’ve done that, that I really can’t get into playing anything. I haven’t played my 360 since I packed up from school in the middle of May. It’s really a stagnant time for games, IMO, and I can’t think of anything that I want to play. Hell, I have Suikoden V sitting here; the 5th game of my favorite series ever, and I can’t even convince myself to pop that in. What’s wrong with me.. grrr

It’s been a great summer… July was one of the best months of my life, and August was a great/extremely terrible month. I haven’t decided yet. All I know is that I now need College Park back in my life. Sorry for being all over the place, but heh…oh well. I just wanted to type all this stuff for the sake of typing it.

So I sit here, 6:51AM thinking to myself: why am I about to pull an all nighter? Is it to get a bacon egg and cheese from the bagel store in a few hours? No, but that helps. Perhaps it’s because I can’t sleep? A likely scenario and although true, that’s not the reason either. Maybe I want to laugh at my brother as he leaves for H.S. and I’m home doing nothing until my internship starts next week? Nope. It’s because Guild Wars: Factions owns my life.

I’ve put some 35+ hours into the game over the last 13 days; it may not sound like alot, but consider this… I had finals last week which required me to pull 4 all nighters over the span of 6 days and usually included some 13-14 hours of studying a day. It may be the reason I can’t sleep as well, but even on those days of buttloads of studying, I managed to get an hour or two of Factions in. I’m currently rocking a maxed out Monk and a lvl 14 Warrior, though I’m sure by the end of the week I’ll be at the point where I’ll just want to sell my account and start a new one. (I sold my Guild Wars: Prophecies account which had a Necro and a Monk for $160 on eBay, and necros aren’t popular.) The market isn’t as large as, say, WoW, but I find it much more fun and consequently, a better investment.

I just hope I’ll find some time for Suikoden V, We Love Katamari and Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War over the summer, as well as some reading and a job…I might as well not sleep for the next 3 months. Oh, and I’ll have to get some Playstation 3 preorders in somewhere along the way…after the 360 debacle, i’m not missing out on so much potential profit this time around. And for all the 24 fans out there…the next 8 months of my life will be just as miserable as yours, I promise. We can sit and hate the Chinese together.
