Oh, the irony..
I finally remembered my Hexidecimal font color without looking at a sticky note. Cool.

Anyway, I turned in my I-Search project on Friday, which was three times longer than anyone else's. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten them back yet. My teacher might never return them to us, heh.. She stalls with these things.

And yet I can't help but think that I've talked about that before.

Anyway, this weekend was dull. I sat around on Saturday, doing nothing in particular. Later in the day I ended up playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on hard mode, and all I have to say is "..I don't even want to look at Extreme." I mean, I spent two hours trying to get through the first room, and they only give you a frickin' Socom to ward off twenty guards when you first meet Meryl. It's insane, and I've given up on it already. Heh.. For now.

I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and heavy congestion.. I was in a fairly poor mood all day, yelling at my brother (more than usual) for making his stupid little joke comments about the guards in Metal Gear over and over and over.. And over and over. Seriously, people are so predictable. Maybe that's why I don't talk to family anymore in mundane situations- I know what they're going to say.

For example, we got Panda Express last night. I could have mapped out everything my mother said during that hour beforehand with an accuracy rating of 80% or so.

"Mmmm, it smells so good!"
"Do you want my drink, Nick?"
"Ooh! This shrimp is so spicy!!"
"Mmm, this is good."
"Ah-- I need more water."
"Mmm, this is so good!"
"Yes, Jake, you can have my fortune cookie."
"What's with that look on your face, Nick? You're always so depressed.."

I mean, maybe it just means I know people, but if that's a case, then I don't want to. It makes the intrigue of getting to know somebody seem so irrelevant.

Like everything else in my dull existence.

Anyway, I plan on reserving Snake Eater soon. I want to be the first on my block to have it! ..Well, actually, I'll probably be the only person on my block to have it, ever. Nobody around here has a PS2, I think. Either way, my fanboy senses tell me to go to Gamestop and reserve it. Right now.

Hmm, I wonder why..

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow is coming to PlayStation 2 on the twentieth of June, and I cannot wait. I don't know how I'll get the money for it.. Heh, I'll probably just do Blockbuster's unlimited game rental thing and rent it for for a while.

I wrote my entire speech yesterday, but ended up getting out of school today for this sore throat.. Honestly, by noon, everything was completely tolerable, but I still feel so tired. Oh well, there's only six more days of school, so I can sleep all I want after next Tuesday.. After writing depressing poetry about moving across the country.

However, out of the blue today, my mom said she had "this funny feeling" that we aren't moving to Pittsburgh after all. I don't know what to believe anymore, heh.. I was just coming to terms with moving, and this comes up. And now I'm not sure if I want to stay in this godforsaken valley. "Either way, we're moving this summer, whether it's to the west side or out of the state." I don't really care anymore. Nothing seems important.

Well, I bet I sound like an ass right now. *laughs* Later.

Oh, also: Check out my new wallpaper and OB avatar. I got bored on Saturday and had nothing to do.
