I wish my friend didn’t work so much. I want her to have fun too. 
We had softball practice today. I’m working on being more aggressive, which translates to running after the ball and screaming at it when I go in for a catch. It works sometimes, but not all. Not most, actually. I’m trying, I swear!
I vowed to be better than last year at the very least. I was told that my glove is too stiff and that I should run it over a couple times with my car, oil it up and tie a softball inside the pocket. I need some oil.
I also made a video game wall of geekdom at work today. We won’t win the department decorating contest, but at least it’s something to show!

Pure win. If anyone can point me to an mp3 version of the song, please do. The Four Fiends singing techno is just… AWESOME.

I’ve been horrible about posting lately only because I’ve been writing fiction and talking with friends. Maybe it’s sad but I look forward to the nights where I can curl up with my laptop and sit on AIM, catching up with friends and family. Plus I can do it in the comfort of my own pajamas which is always a plus.
I’ve started recording Let’s Play videos. I’m uploading one right now. It’s pretty big so it’ll take awhile I’m sure, but it’s okay. Not like I’m going anywhere soon.
I haven’t come across any girl Let’s Plays, which kind of saddens me. Kind of. My sister and I are going to do joint ones. We have Super Metroid and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past lined up for that. I started Radical Dreamers on my own. Scousin, DeceasedCrab and UltraJMan have all inspired me to do this. To branch out and do my own thing. These guys are pure gold. Fricken shiny, raw, glittering gold. I hope to be like them, even if it’s just a little bit. We’ll see.
A friend of mine went on a date tonight. I hope all goes well for her. She so deserves it.

Watching the scene in Valkyrie Profile where Lenneth is frantically searching for Lucian’s earring in the Weeping Lily Meadow while Arngrim, Mystina and Lezard just look on, it makes me cry. Yeah, I’m one of those saps who cries when she plays video games. I’ve always been hyper-emotional. To lose something from someone that meant so much after it’s already too late…
I lost something too. I lost all the emails she sent me. I deleted them in hopes to make the healing quicker, but the only thing it’s done is spur regret. I’ll never get them back, and it feels like I have nothing.
I don’t even have an earring.
But it didn’t matter in the end. Lenneth found Lucian, even when she lost the earring. I’m just stuck on the sidelines watching love bloom all over again, wishing and hoping that my happy ending will come too. And though a lot of people say happy endings are overrated and not true to 90% of the lives we live, it doesn’t stop me from wanting one.
Instead, I’m… I’m the dorky guy in glasses chasing after a goddess who will never come to love me and only me.
If there were something like the Weeping Lily Meadow right in here in my town, I would dive head first into it, never looking back.
