of kitties, waterfalls, pixies, fluffy little bunnies and first-person shooter games

As my sister has already said on Preteen English Major, yesterday we (including Salty who is still staying with us :D) went to visit my dad's parents in Benton, PA. Which is the coolest little town ever. So there. We had to get up at an ungodly hour so I dozed/slept for most of the trip, but I got plenty of rest there because when I'm in Benton my muscles automatically vanish and my brain goes to auto-pilot - my stress level goes into negative numbers. So Benton pretty much is the most therapeutic place in the world for me. We basically just hung out, went to the waterfall and the park, chilled with all the kitties... Added bonus: my amazing badass Aunt Margaret stopped by for a while which made my day, I LOVE HER. Only downside of the trip was that we drove past The House and saw how the people who now own it are fixing it up and making it all beautiful and I'm dying of envy :( Ho hum.

Anywho, yesterday, after we got home, we stopped at Salty's house and got his family's old X-Box so we've been playing Halo 2 practically nonstop. I suck. I'm marginally better than my sister but compared to Salty (who says he isn't that good, HE LIES) I'm horrendous. But go figure, I still like it. I like doing campaigns with Salty cuz he just goes running into the battle, guns ablazin', and I just hang back as "backup"...ish. Just can't get control of that run-away-from-trouble self-preservation instinct XD

Tomorrow I have to go for my evaluation cuz my sister got sick so we had to reschedule. Salty and I are hyper cuz he can get his camcorder while we're there. YouTube is about to get a million times more epic.

  1. Do you want to know a Fail prof plan that always works in shooter games?

  2. Yeah, I'd like one, too, if it helps me save myself...

  3. Okay a Fail prof plan is (you ready for this?):b The Front Door assault! Get to a safe spot lock and load, Jump up and shot any thing that moves. Don't worry about getting a perfect aim. Moving your gun back and forth is bound to shot something! And when your life is low RUN like the wind because at that point you WILL die.

  4. Oh and get your back to a wall. You won't get shot in the back than.

  5. yah the problem is that fnudge and i both prefer this strategy which usually leads to us camping on opposite sides of the map (or in some cases on opposite sides of a pillar) waiting for the other person to move XD it's quite funny actually....
