My new addiction...
I have liked video games for as long as I can remember. It started with the original Nintendo when my sister, brother, and I would play Mario Brothers until, I'm sure, my mother thought our brains would rot out. Luckily for us they did not and a few years down the road we upgraded to the Super Nintendo and became obsessed with the original version of Mario Cart (in all it's 3-D glory.) Still technology proved to continually amaze us with with the ever popular Nintendo 64 where the better Mario Cart was created along with one of my favorite killing games (sorry for those who are offended by violence), 007.
That is where my owning a video game system ended, until last January when my then fiance bought an X-box. Now in my opinion the only game worth playing on X-box is Halo (and it's sequal.) But one day Eric and I were at Target and found Sonic the Hedge Hog (which was originally released on Sega) for only $7.00. The game was such a steal because it had all the Sonic games on ONE cd! It sat on a shelf for several months until three days ago when I was really bored and decided to give it a try. Now when I am doing anything else (sleeping, eating, conversing with others) all I can think about is this, "I wonder if I can get to the next level on Sonic the Hedgehog 2." Even though the voice that says, "SEGA!" every time you turn it on ANNOYS me BEYOND BELIEF I still play. And sometimes I give my husband a turn.
The point of this blog.... well there is none really. I guess it's to point out to my in laws who faithfully read my blog that even though I still play video games I am still a responsible adult (really I am!)
Some random news: I am getting my hair cut on friday! Right before I go to Camp Yamhill for one week. I noticed on my one week weather forcast that it will 94 in Portland on monday and it will only be 89 in Yamhill. I'm really excited for Jr. Teen this year. It will be my first time out to camp for the summer. My friend Coleen (who just got back from being in Colorado for one month) is also coming to camp (for the frist time.)
And today is my friend Amanda's birthday. We celebrated two days ago by going to one of our favorite restaurants, Chevy's, and stuffing our faces with the free chips (they're the best!)

I also saw (for those die hard nintendo fans) that they have all the Megaman games in one for Xbox. It's 10 or 20 bucks (I can't remember), which is pretty good for how many of those they made. I think they got up to 10-12 different sequels.

Dag, yo. I love the video games. I wish that I had more free time in which to play, but it really is true that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Jr. Teen should be a lot of fun this year. I am teaching a again and I'm excited about that... mostly because I have the class done already and that is so not like me. I am the ultimate procrastinator.
More about video games: Eric and I saw a Game Cube yesterday for $59. I have yet to play the new (well not so new now) Mario Cart.
I wonder if I will be 50 and stil like to play Halo....
