Has It Really Been 7 Months?
My word, have I been too busy or just too lazy to update this? I don't even know where to start to explain my situation. I would love to use that ole Phoenix rising from the ashes of long ago, but for me the bird would be rising from a bunch of dust and not ashes (there's a difference).

So, my first semester of college is almost done. I have about a week left and I am ready for the long Winter Holiday Break. Most excited to finish up my Math and English classes. The first I have to wake up at 7:30 AM for and the latter is just too much writing for my taste. Writing that I really have no interest in typing out, researching up on, and meeting a week's deadline. I'd like to think that has part of why I've stayed away from a blog for so long. If I can update this thing, I can crank out a paper. Weak logic. Now that it's almost done, I'm fine with this. Maybe. Who knows.

Been putting more hours in at GameStop as well. Holiday hours are killer. Literally. I'm just glad we haven't had any rude customers. Mainly uninformed customers, but that is certainly fine with me. And if you're wondering, yes. We receive on [a rough] average of about 40-50 questions to whether we have the Wii in stock, when we'll be getting it in stock (day and time of day), if there's a waiting list, what is included, the price, and everything else you can think of to ask. We've had people call anywhere from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM asking for them. People are just so desperate and as a gamer I'm starting to wonder if this is really becoming just a fad for kids. It's not seen as a gaming system anymore. If it is seen as an icon that they need to obtain a certain status. I worry because whenever we try to suggest games they refuse our suggestions. They only want Wii Sports, Wii Play, maybe Mario Galaxy (not that it's bad in anyway), Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero III...eh. They pass up on gems like Zack & Wiki, Super Paper Mario, Metroid, and even ignore the Virtual Console. Honestly, I probably have played my 360 more now than my Wii. Not because one is superior in entertainment, but the 360 has a better library for my interest and the games, on average, last longer (plus online play).

Now, I intend to update this again before the end of next week. I swear I'm not going to sneak out and disappear for months without any forewarning. I feel I haven't been a very good friend in this way to the people I've met on GreatestJournal. I've disregarded what's happening in their lives and failed to leave a comment or word of advice. Here's trying my hardest, though I am human.
