I am really bored at work right now. I decided to make this topic for people to post stories so others can read them when they are bored too. I will post my story about traffic court this morning.
8:00 AM
Mom and I head off to court. She is mad because I kept telling her you cannot read newspapers in court (proved right later). Anyway we get there and get settled in. She asks me every 10 minutes if she should go up with me and I keep telling her no. She even writes it down for me to read and I say no. After the DUI people go and some other random lawyer cases, they call the driving schoolers up. I did not go up with them because I got a ticket last year. About 10 more minutes later they call me up. The judge asked me if I went 45 in a 62 zone and I correct him that it was 62 in a 45 zone lol. He asked me why I did not go up with driving school and I inform him that the law said I can't go again for a few years after a previous offense. He corrects me in that there are no laws and that it is his disgression. He then asked the cop if everything was fine and the cop said yes so he gave me driving school again! Good times this morning.

I AM SO VERY PISSED! I was playing FE a few mins ago and at the VERY LAST BOSS. Then it attacks Hector twice, so he died. Game Over. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! That stupid bastard always only attacked once when it was its turn... and it only had 3 HP left too. ARRRRHGHGHGHGHGHGH! 3 HP from beating the game. I swear this must be the most frustrating game in history.

I was testing out my hard mode for Fire Emblem 4, since I modified it just a bit to make the game a bit more difficult. Anyway, I've died on the second chapter because I increased the stats for Warriors. They were so strong. Oy oy. Oh yeah, my friend was playing my file and he killed Florina. Then he said it's okay, I didn't save it. Then I told him it saves automatically and he's like, oh f*ck, I'm dead. ;D

You should beat up your friend . I was playing Initial D at the Arcade and my buddy screwed with my shifter and f*ed up my run. He then left and I did it again and got a new record ;D It still pissed me off when I told him not to touch it!

I can't believe how hard Caesar III is. Never played Fire Emblem, but Caesar III is the most frustrating game ever. What you do in the first 5 minutes of the game can screw you forever. Still, I absolutely love it, it's hard in a good way, but it can give you quite a few headaches.
Otherwise, I am dead tired because work sucks and I hate waking up before 9am.

About 5 days ago, my mother finally decided to take my performa away to goodwill. So, she went into my room, and found the beige computer sitting on the floor. (it was on the floor because it is too big to fit on my desk.) She then lifted it aboout an inch above the floor, and set it back down. The performa weighs over 50 lbs. She picked it up again and staggered to the living room where she set it down on the floor. Then she picked it up again, suddenly realizing how dumb it was to have put it on the floor rather than the couch, walked to the front door where the keyboard and mouse fell at her feet from the top of the monitor. I had to disconnect them from the monitor, open the door for her, and follow her to the car with the mouse and keyboard. We then placed the performa in the trunk. I took my last look at the ancient piece of plastic and went back into the house. Yesterday, i found the performa still in the trunk. It turns out that goodwill wouldn't take it because it was too old. ;D So i still have a slight chance of keeping it...

Well once I went up to Vermont and we took a ride on the Alpine slides down a mountain. Well, after that, me and Kamon had such a blast that we went up there to go again. Kamon went infront of me and next thing I heard there was a scream. I rode down the slide quick and saw that Kamon's board flipped on a turn and the sharp bottom of it hit him right above the eye. Blood all over the place. His eye was so swollen that he couldn't even open it. We were going to go to Lake George, New York from there but we just headed back home because of the injury

Good for you, but I was talking about ME. So I realized that after so many weeks of work, I really have only done an average of 2 hours of work per day. Which means that unless I hurry up and finish this project, I'm screwed and I may not get a job here again. Man, how did I screw that one up? Oh yeah, the internet. New Axis & Allies game is soon to arrive at my house, can't wait to play it!

New Axis & Allies game is soon to arrive at my house, can't wait to play it! I'm sure it will help you finish your project even faster! Okay here is my "vacation story" I promised you. My family wanted to go on a trip someplace not too expensive, and only wanted to stay there for a while. They chose Tennesee. Keep in mind that by "my family" I am excluding myself, as I hate traveling and was having a great time here in Atlanta. Anyways, we're in tennesee and they decide to drive all the way from our hotel (in Gatlinburg) all the way to Knoxville. It was a long drive, I think somthing like 20-40 miles. On our way driving there, we look next to us at all the cars coming back from Knoxville...there are tons of them, and they're all stuck in an Atlanta-style traffic jam. Seeing as my mom and dad came here to take a break from that bullshit, they decided they would take the country roads back home which were a lot longer, but would have less traffic. Anyways, after visiting Knoxville and driving back we got on the country roads and realize one thing...WE FORGOT THE FUCKING MAP! So here we are lost in the middle of nowhere, 40 miles from our destination. fuck. We keep driving aimlessly until we finally find a gas station. My dad stops the car, gets out and goes inside to see if someone there can give him directions. About five minutes later, a shitty aqua blue car pulls up to the gas station and out of it comes this guy that I swear to God, looked just like that old comedian Gallager(he will henceforth be known as that). He comes inside the gas station and 5 minutes after that my sister, my mother and I all start entertaining ourselves by making jokes about my dad being captured by Gallager, and put in a Pulp Fiction like situation. Then to minutes later the jokes arn't so funny anymore as we're starting to worry if something hasn't actually happened to my dad.... I'm tired of typing, part 2 is coming soon.
