Frustrating couple of days

Hi all. The last few days have been really frustrating and emotionally tiring. My PSP which I've only had for a month suddenly developed at least a hundred stuck pixels all over the screen, it's really frustrating and detracts from the gaming experience to say the least. I called Sony today and since it's under warranty they'll repair or replace it for free which is the good news. My conversation with them was fun, they basically told me to change the brightness of the screen, which of course did jack shit. If running an RGB video on repeat for 14 hours to unstick the pixels didn't help, I don't think adjusting the brightness will. Buuut at least they're gonna send me a shipping label so I can have it repaired. Then I couldn't get service on my cell phone so I had to call T-Mobile. The woman there was helpful at least and told me that the tower in my area is down so it might be awhile until service comes back up. Spending my day off making support calls is always fun.

Then the really sad news is that my mom went to visit her cats, which have been staying at her boyfriend's house while she gets ready to sell her house. She said that one of the cats had something wrong with her mouth and hadn't been eating, she was so thin and weak that my mom thought she was going to die in my mom's arms. My mom fed her and she seems to be doing a bit better but she's not out of danger yet. How much of an idiot does my mom's boyfriend (well technically ex, now, but I won't get into that) have to be to be taking care of a cat for a month and not notice that it's starving to death and can't even walk? Ridiculous...

Eh, I guess that's enough for today, I don't like being depressing in blog posts >.< Just wanted to explain why I hadn't been on much. I'll check out my followers' blogs later today after I clean my room and do some other errands and I hope you guys are all having a really fantastic day. ^.^

Hi guys

Hi guys! Just got done work for the day and now I'm deciding what to do with myself. As far as games go I got sucked back into Persona 3 >.< I don't know what it is about that game but every time I go back to it, even 2 years later, I have as much fun as I did the first time I played it. I also ordered DJ MAX Fever for my PSP, yeah I know that DJ MAX Portable 3 is coming out in a month or so buuuut I never buy games when they first come out, I wait until the prices drop and I can find a decent used copy that isn't very expensive. So that's what I'm up to game-wise, nothing too exciting here. Hope you guys are having a good Monday :)

Hi guys, haven't posted in a couple of days cause work has been busy and stressful. I'm hoping all the problems settle down soon, just trying to keep a good outlook in the meantime. Time to relax and see what all my followers are up to :) Hope you guys are having a good weekend.

Thank you guys

Morning everyone. Thank you guys for your kind comments on my last entry, I feel better now. I'm just trying to get a 2nd job so that I can make it on my own. It's the last time I'll be making a drawn out rant like that so don't worry if you didn't like reading it.

For today I'm just going to hang out with friends and enjoy my day off, possibly play some Disgaea too. Hope you guys are having an awesome day whatever you're doing ^^

Random drama post, yaay

Okay so..a few people commented on my last entry and said that I should write about the drama I'm going through and while I didn't really plan to do so (I'm a pretty private person and I hate feeling like I'm complaining too much) I didn't really have anything else to write about and if this somehow entertains you guys, well, all the better haha.

I was really pissed the day before yesterday, because two of my dad's "friends" needed a ride home so my dad encouraged my brother to give them a ride home. Unbeknownst to either my brother or my dad, these "friends" decided they wanted to get some drugs so they made my brother stop at a 7-11 and all of a sudden he was caught up in the middle of a drug deal. My brother is 20 and on the dean's list at our local community college, and the assistant manager at a nearby grocery store. He's never touched drugs and doesn't even drink and it pisses me off so unfuckingbelievably much that his whole life and future was put at stake because these asshole friends of my dad's wanted to shoot up. Sorry for the language, but...ugh. If anything had gone wrong his life would have been completely wrecked. There are no words for how much I now despise these people that did that to my brother.

So that was the other day and then today these scumbags had the nerve to come over to our house again and sit at our patio table like nothing was wrong. I was sleeping and missed all the drama but apparently my mom was brandishing a wine bottle in the one guy's face and threatening to bash his head open/cut his throat with the bottle. LOL and then my dad got pissed at her because "you stole my chance to deal with them, this is MY house." Then they started screaming at each other and I ended up having a fight with both of them because they tried to drag me into it.

TL;DR version: My parents suck, drug addicts who drag innocent people into their shit suck, and I really need to get my own place. Oh, and sorry for the depressing post. Hopefully this entertained somebody? XD

And the drama continues...

Hey guys. The drama is just never ending these days and that's why I'm posting so late. Hopefully it settles down soon. I haven't had much time for games but I'm thinking of trying out Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep on my PSP. If anybody's already gotten the chance to play it please let me know how it is :)  Anyway hope you guys had a good day and hopefully I can blog normally again soon.

Back

Hi guys, my cousins are gone and so I'll be back to making a new post everyday. Not much to say today, just got home from work and I think I'll play Disgaea for a bit. Hope you guys are having a good Saturday :)

Busy day

Hi guys, it's been a really busy day here. I only just now got in and got settled down. My cousins are coming tomorrow so I probably won't be online much, I'll catch up with everyone when things are back to normal ^^ Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend!

100 followers!

Hi guys, just got home from work and I noticed that I hit 100 followers. Thanks so much to everyone who followed, I'll do my best to return all the support and comments given. For today I'm just gonna see what everyone's up to and then enjoy the rest of my day. See you guys later!

Lazy day

Hey guys! I noticed that I'm almost to a hundred followers, thanks so much everyone for all the support, means a lot :)

Today's my second day in a row off from work, I'm getting so spoiled haha. I'm just gonna play Disgaea I think. For anyone who hasn't tried it yet and wants to, I would definitely recommend it. It starts out slow and there's a lot of grinding for the first few levels or so, but then once you're powerful enough to start transmigrating (basically restarting your character to level 1, but they get progressively stronger each time you do that) leveling is a LOT quicker. And since your characters have a level cap of 9999 you can get a lot of playtime out of it. Apparently it has great replay value too, one of my friends has played it 14 times. I'm officially a Disgaea addict now.

Hope everyone's having a great day, see you guys tomorrow.

Cleaning the house

Hey guys, don't have much to say today. I have to get the house ready because my dad told me that my cousins and aunt from Maine whom I've never met are coming down on Friday to go to a funeral and they're going to stay at our house. So today I get to vacuum and clean and make everything look spotless, yay -.- Just going to check out my followers' blogs and then get started on that I guess. See you guys later!

Work sucks

Title says it all I think, had a crappy day at work today. Everything took longer than usual and there were tons of headaches. But at least I have the next 2 days off and I can spam Disgaea. There's so much I haven't found out about the game yet, like how people get super high leveled (one guide was talking about being level 2000, my main character is only level 7 o.o) But yeah looking forward to having the next 2 days off. Hope you guys are having a good day.

First impressions of Disgaea

Hey guys! So I got to spend some time with Disgaea yesterday. I thought the battle system was pretty good although it took me some getting used to. Laharl and Etna have a quirky kind of relationship but I like hearing them bicker and listening to her flatter him. And Prinnys are sooooooo freaking cute, I want one as a pet (I'm totally sounding like Tear from Tales of the Abyss right now >.< haha)

I haven't been able to get that far into it because of work, so I'm just going to spend a bit of time on here seeing what everyone's up to and then I'm gonna play some more. Hope you guys are having a great day!

Also if you guys don't have your links to your blogs in your profile I can't comment you back and all that good stuff. There's a bunch of people I have added who don't have links that I can easily access from my followers page.

Disgaea

Hey guys, hope everyone's doing good. Short blog today, I just got home from work and I'm going to go play Disgaea on my PSP. I'm sure I'll have lots of comments about that after I get into the story a bit. See you guys tomorrow.

Finally home

Hey guys. Work today was long and frustrating so I don't really have much to say. My copy of Disgaea was waiting for me when I got home and I probably won't get to it tonight, but I'll probably be talking about that a bit after I get started. For today I'm just going to check out what my followers are up to and then try to relax and unwind. Hope everyone is having a great day so far.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Hi guys, thanks so much for all your recommendations yesterday! I'm going to be looking more into all of them and once I get paid on Saturday I'll have some money to actually do something about it XD In the meantime I got Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness for my PSP. One of the commenters from yesterday recommended Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? and it reminded me that I never played the original Disgaea even though I've had it on my games to try list for a long time. Apparently, this PSP port is the same as the original with extra features and it had great reviews on Amazon so I'm sure I'll be very happy with it. It should get to my house tomorrow (ilu, free trial of amazon prime <3).

Also, I really want a PS3 now :< Maybe I should treat myself for Christmas...haha.

One more thing to share with you guys today. I have a hunch that a lot of you are like me and want to make money online however you can. Awhile back I found a really neat site that lets you take surveys (and by surveys I don't mean those hideous 15 page long scam jobs that make you do a billion side offers to finish.) These surveys are 3 questions long and extremely straightforward. The questions are stuff like "What kind of pet do you have?" and very easy questions like that. You get a prize for each survey you answer, it can either be cash or tickets into their lottery drawing for one $50 winner everyday. You can do 5 surveys every 3 hours so it's not very time intensive either. The really cool part about it is, if you sign people up under you, you get 100% of all their earnings. So if I'm signed up under you and I win 3 cents for answering a survey, that 3 cents gets added into your account at the same time it goes into mine. You also win your referrals' lottery tickets that they were awarded so you have more chances to win the daily lottery drawing. If you guys are interested, sign up here: Instant Cash Sweepstakes

Okay that's all I have for today, I'm gonna go enjoy the rest of my day off and see what my followers are up to. Sleeping in rocks XD

Game recommendations

Hi everyone, posting kinda late today thanks to being trapped at work all day. I'm about to make the rounds and see what my followers are up to, but first I had a quick question for you guys. I'm looking for new games to play now that I'm finally done with my 4 playthroughs of Persona 3 Portable (what can I say, I'm a huge Persona nerd.) The systems I have are PSP, DS, PS2, and Xbox 360. I generally lean toward RPGs but I'm open to any recommendations so if you guys have some please let me know so I have something new to che ck out.

That's all I got for today, see you guys tomorrow :)

Anyway, hope my followers and everyone reading has a great Labor Day.
