Wedding Crashers!

So one of my best friends got married this past saturday... actually make that two. These guys look great together, and if I didn't love them as much as I do, I'd totally hate them right now! For Eder and Gaby, thanks for showing me that love can be found, and sometimes in the most unexpected places. But okay, this is kinna cliché, and I really wanna justify the title of this blog post: Wedding Crashers!

Well, the wedding was beautiful, and these kids looked great, but the party? Oh my god, the party was awesome. I had to return home for this, but it was definitely worth it. The food was great. The desert was nice. The music was awesome. The drinks were... well... heh, let's just say that there was a lot of 'em. And the dancing, gosh, that was fantastic. Let's just say that I've had the dancing itch for a while, and I couldn't complain after that night! I arrived home at 6:00 AM, and if only we'd have more people awake, we would've continued until noon!

But what's really interesting, is what happened behind the scenes, heh. I guess I could say this is too much for young ears to hear, but I'll try my best. NOT! If you are one of the people who went to the wedding, and you read this, you'll know why I'm not telling! And if you're not, then you might hear the story sometime. Maybe when my blog starts to suck.

Oh will you look at that... I may have to write it sooner than later.

But guys, congrats. I love ya and wish you the very best.

Burnin' Addiction

In the words of Alexandra Roivas (from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem), this... this can't be happening! I'm becoming addicted again. An unhealthy addiction like the one I used to have (or still do... it's just that I haven't received any dosage for a while) with the Zelda series. Yes, I'm becoming addicted to yet another Nintendo franchise: Fire Emblem.

What is it about Fire Emblem that has me totally infatuated by its strategic sexiness? Is it the blue flame that brought us together? Because of Fire Emblem, everything seems more complicated, yet simpler. In the bathroom, the tiles are not just there to cover up the plain wall... but rather to create a grid; a map of war. A map of strategy. In the darkness, I seek a torch to try and bring shine back into the room... but the fog of war is thick. All I hope is that a fellow Bishop is still in full health so he can dispel the darkness, and bring the light back. No longer is the light switch worthy.

I wait... and watch the ceiling as I frantically search for a Pegasi or a Wyvern that will come aid me in my quest for radiance. I search every corner, like a thief who doesn't need a lockpick to celebrate his success... but with no luck. I desperately looked for a taste of the Fire Emblem in the sandy plains of Begnion, but all I could think of was: "Is my luck percentage high enough?", "Will I find it in this hot, scorching sand?", "Will my movement be reduced?" Sadly, it seems as if my luck wasn't high enough, because finding the Fire Emblem was simply not meant to be. Until a glimmer of hope appeared, and a member of my party -- Jeff, the mercenary -- came to the rescue! He found the Fire Emblem, and parted ways with it so that I could sustain my life. Thank you, dear friend!

And yet, while it seemed like all was back to normality, my addiction grew stronger. So it hit me. Could it be? The man who I trusted... the mercenary who helped me... my partner in the battlefield... wanted nothing more than to have me... distracted in the combat zone? And then I realized that it was true. In the world of Fire Emblem, you can build your army. You have to plan your strategy. But you trust no one.

Oh Fire Emblem, what have you done to me.

OMG I GOT TEH BLOGZ FEVAH

So I finally joined the bloggers' community, even though according to statistics, there are more blog entries than actual readers... guess I'm part of the pathetic group now, huh?

No worries, I'll have my radiant handheld team read it daily to go against nature. It's only fair that they do because they don't see me online until after I'm done with work (with the exception of Jeffie, who is constantly getting stalked on MSN), so this will be their way of showing that they miss me during working hours... OR ELSE.

But seriously, bloggin' seems pretty cool, and after visiting the Nut Hut a couple of times, I decided I had to have one of my own, and I'll try to post frequent updates because well, my life is OH SO interesting, right? RIGHT? sigh.

Fine. Welcome to my blog. Let's just leave it at that.
