That woman holding up the wii console victoriously this year...

yup, that was me. Got one for $150 ($199 and a free $50 walmart gift card). So I now have wii and wii fit, with a promise to myself that I'm going to work off the holiday weight before I get it. My "Wii fit age" is 20. So apparently I'm as fit as college Junior. I feel like there's really not a difference there and that maybe the wii just wanted to make me feel good about myself, but whatever.

That's all I got on Black Friday though. Bought it with my gambling winnings from midterm. Then took the rest of my winnings ($500) to the casino and doubled it, making my Wii and fit basically free. I lost $30 last night though, playing a private tourney at my mom's friends house, and dropping out before the paying spots.

I get a little annoyed with the bad rep that gambling has. People say it's a waste of money, but really you're just paying for entertainment, so it's no more wasteful than seeing a movie, or a sporting event, plus there's a chance you might win and leave with more than you came with. As long as you don't play for more than you can part with. There are certainly people who gamble unhealthily, and waste away their savings trying to get rich quick, but if that's why you are playing, you need to not play. I play because I enjoy it, and I play in moderation. Other things are just as easy to get "too" into. Like people who play a video game like it's a part time job, or who spend a fortune so they can never miss a sporting game, or go to the movies twice a week. If you can afford the time/money then that's great, but if you can't, then you're just as addicted and just as bad off as a gambling addict.

Yes, in the grand scheme of things, the house always wins, because no matter how many people win, they take far more money out of people's wallets than they put back, but... so does every other business. As long as you're not an idiot, a night at the casino should (at tops) cost you the same as an average "night out." If I were to go to dinner and then the bars or something, I might spend between $30-40 so that's how much I'll take to "the boat." If I win a bunch, then I have more to play with, or I have plenty to leave with. (i.e. I started with $40 at a black jack table and won $100, so I took that hundred to the poker room so I could buy-in a seat at hold 'em and made another $100)

Poker is something I'm good at, and something I enjoy. I feel like that is more than enough reason to play.

On a completely different note: The engagement is facebook official now. hurrah. And for any nay-sayers who think this wont last (you know who you are) I look forward to proving you wrong (not like I haven't before) almost as much as I look forward to walking down the aisle. William and I are perfect for each other. Not only could I spend the rest of my life with him, I could spend the rest of my life with only him. Everyone else could move to the moon, and we'd be just as well. Not to say that I don't love everyone, just that when it comes down to it, he is all I need to be happy, everything else is just a bonus. (ok... I mean, I need oxygen, water, food and all that, but clearly you knew what I meant.)

I really should've done homework over break. This blog is the last thing I'm allowed to do before everything is done. UUUUGH! graduation cannot come soon enough.

D&D is just the first step to joining the occult

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp?ref=nf

Because as you may know, dying in D&D is basically the end of your life.

Also, I love that the parents whose daughter has been shut in her room "for weeks" didn't notice that she wasn't coming out even for food... or the bathroom... and never bothered to break open the door, but then the friend shows up, and it's like, "oh hey, maybe we should go in there and see what's up..."

Funny moment of the day

William's dad is my friend on Skype, and he has his itunes sync'd to it so it shows what he's listening to. I just logged on and he is listening to Poker Face by Lady Gaga. so funny.

Also! P-A-X PAX! I can't wait! rawr.

Also, Also! Wedding Planning is stressful. I need to stop thinking about it and do my damn homework. I'm glad I have Janée *hug*

Can someone do my shit-ton-of homework for me? Please. uuuuuuuuuugh.

I'm suddenly oodles of nervous for no reason... it's concerning. My legs are shaking like I'm about to go on stage at the Fox or something... heart is racing.. what the hell is going on. I hate this!

AHG!

"They always say 'Remember, remember, the 5th of November'...

... and now... you'll never forget." - best line from the whole thing.

I think I've called William, "fiance" over 50 times in the last 14-ish hours. I still can't believe it.

Can't put it on facebook until after T-day break though, so we have a chance to tell our families first.

It feels weirder than I thought it would... being "engaged." I mean, I'm only 21...

Ok, I'm going to giggle for a couple hours now.

Let Dan and Garry kill me last night. Started watching Dexter last night. I pretty much love it. I'm not super into serial killers, or anything, but I'm certainly into this one. Internet TV pretty much makes my life complete.

<3 Fiction.

mmm...brains. I still have mine. >:)

hm, how much do I care what you thought of my costume? not. I don't. Get a life, I mean really. I had a good time, my friends had a good time. If you think we were having a little, "too good" of a time, then I'm sorry you're so uptight. We weren't streaking or having sex on your coffee table, soooo... yeah. I think it was a kick ass night, and I think it's hilarious that **** got so drunk that he stole TruMen's **** and doesn't even remember. That's all I can put though, because... he's embarrassed and asked me not to tell anyone. lol.

Anyway, no harm done.

I don't understand bitchy people. It was fun in high school because everyone was doing it to everyone else, but now you're 20something, and people just think it's annoying.

Like I said though, Halloween was so much fun. Sorry to those I didn't get a chance to see. I only went to two places (Pre-party and the TruMen house) before I was too far gone to be going anywhere else. Wish I'd have made it to the bars though.

Janée! You really need to be in Cantoria again... I'm going crazy without you, and Lisa's missing even more days this year, if you can believe that.

Chao. gotta take a music history test.
