Halo 2 is my favorite game

Halo 2 is my favorite game. If you've read this far I bet you've figured that out already. I just can't believe I hadn't said this already! I can't have a list of things about me and not mention Halo! Well, about Halo, it's about the only fps (first person shooter) that I have... that is, I have Halo and Halo 2. I love it more than any other fps because, well, it's the only one I have. I'm not allowed to buy mature games and such normally. My parents made an exception because... ok let's be truthful... I pestered them for six months (quite literally) until they let me. So, now I have Halo, and Halo 2. I have gotten better over the time I've had the game, to the point that it bothers all the people that used to beat me. You see, Wheezy is a head on assault player, to the point that he made a group on Bungie's site called "Head on Assault Freaks." I'm one of the two people in the group, and that makes NO SENSE. I'm not a head on player. I use a little something called strategy. I snipe to avoid deaths (and get kills more easily) whenever possible, if I see active camo or overshield I USE IT, and I don't charge into battle unless I'm around 70% sure I can win. Of course, half of the time it's not me that's charging into battle, it's someone else attacking me, so I still have to rely on a bit of sheer luck every once in a while. A few of the achievements you'll be seeing me get: least deaths, most snipes, most headshots, but not necessarily most kills (not taking risks has its downsides). At least, not if I'm playing with Fuzzy, Trulegend, and Ruiner. At church, they want me to get off my own xbox so they can get some kills. It drives Wheezy crazy how I play now. It ticks him off so bad to see me beat him at his own game... but anyway, if you want to hear me ramble and ramble about Halo (2), just call me. I'll be talking for hours and you'll get nothing out of it, but hey, it's something to do, right? Friday was a Friday. Trulegend IMed me and said "guess what? it's Friday." Wow. Deep. Anyway, not much exciting. Family was sick so we didn't go to Chico's. We went Saturday though so that's ok. I also got a Valentine's gift for Aramaia on Saturday and tried my hardest to send it off, but I couldn't. We quite literally went from one side of town to the other looking for a post office. I also got a new Spanish dictionary. It's about time, because even if the old one was only about a year old, the cover was falling off. It was hard to even open it because all the pages were folded over. So, I'm taking better care of this one. Maybe it will even last two years... Oh, about North Carolina School of Science of Math, I got a letter about registration. But since I'm not sure if I've explained what NCSSM even is, let me do so now. NCSSM is the best school for Juniors and Seniors in high school in North Carolina, and I'm applying. I don't know if I'll be accepted and I don't know if I'll go if I do get accepted. Amba, Genius, and Fascist are also applying, but Fascist is probably not going to go, although he will most likely get accepted (1st rank in c/o '07). If I do not accepted or otherwise do not go to NCSSM, I will most likely be in the IB program, or International Baccalaureate. If you've never heard of it, it's about five times harder than AP. If you have, pray for me. But back to the registration letter, Discovery Day (extra testing, etc.) is next weekend. I still need to clear up a few issues, but I'm doing pretty well with the application. Also, on Saturday, after going all over town and before Chico's, I went to the Regional DDR Competition. At least, that's what Archon told me it was. Ha- here's the story. Wheezy was invited, and said he would come, but could not. I asked FEPJustgayenuf about it (he invited Wheezy in the first place), and said I would try to come, and showed up. Make sense? Well, one of the biggest things I noticed about the tournament was the fact that I was among fellow shorts-in-winter people. Around a third of the people there were wearing shorts. In February. How awesome is that? Oh, and I got to meet Jewz0rz; FEPJustgayenuf's girlfriend who he has been talking about for the past week or so. She seemed nice, but all I got was a handshake and the usual first meeting comments. I can tell FEPJustgayenuf is attached though. Of course, that may now be influenced by the fact that I read his entire Livejournal (reason I didn't post last night). Basically, it was a summary of his relationship with Jewz0rz. He probably meant it to be just life events, but that's what it ended up being, and I can imagine why. When you're in love, that's all you really feel like talking about. Especially when it's as dramatic as his story. You can ask him about that though. Don't ask me for the site, though, as I'm not sure if he wants the world to know or not. Hey, maybe he does. How should I know? Some of the stuff was a bit private though... makes me feel better that he would feel ok giving me the site. But back to the regional DDR competition now. They had two xboxes set up (all I care about), so I played Halo 2. FALSE. They played Halo 2 until they got tired of it, I didn't get a chance to play, and then they switched on the mod chips (a cheating device, for all you non-gamers), and we played Metal Slug. The first one, not the third one that they remade for the xbox. The awesome thing was: if you press the back button, you get credits. At least, if you have a mod chip you do! So I played that for a while. As I said, Archon, FEPJustgayenuf, and Jewx0rz were there. I had a good time, and watched DDR for a minimal amount of time. LOL. I'm not a DDR fan, and I don't really understand why so many people do, but I don't make fun of it like SOME people. FEPJustgayenuf thanked me for coming, and I left for Chico's directly from Putters (the place it was held) *in the convertible* (key phrase). Good times. Anyway, on Sunday. we had church and all, but no youth, so I played vid games some and went to bed. We sent off the Valentine's Day gift on Monday (on Valentine's Day, I'm SO GOOD; no jk). I also wrote a topic on Deeper Thinking especially for Valentines Day, so go read it! Wednesday was Logos as usual. I made Wheezy really mad because I was playing to take full advantage of every item and opportunity. He's more of a head on assault freak. My strategy works better than his brute force, so I win. Most of the time, at least. But I explained that already. I got a xanga on Thursday for no real reason except to post on xangas. There are 450 people in our metro though. Wow, and I know almost none of them. Oh well. I don't really care to make a xanga (don't like the ads, or the setup; too messy), so I'll be the rebel blogger, even if they do call xangas, and livejournals for that matter, "blogs" too. We also packed for the Homestead, and I wrote most of this post. (Up until Valentine's Day) On Friday I checked out early and we left for Hot Springs, VA. The Homestead is a ski resort in that mountain town that we go to every year. The skiing was good this year, and the food is always superb. It's really an amazing place, one that I will never forget. After Snowshoe (youth ski trip), the Homestead slopes were more fun, if more simple. I had no trouble at all, and fell only once. There is a story to that, sort of. You see, the Homestead has one black diamond that is open most of the time in the past few years. It is extremely short and it's basically just a cliff. So, this year, I started doing jumps off it. I got to the point where my dad said I jumped thirty feet in the air one time (that really sounds like an exaggeration to me, but it was a BIG JUMP). Well, after landing, I lost control and fell for another ten feet. Seriously, the fall was at least ten feet. Or fifteen. I flipped over, landed on my head, lost a ski and both poles (even though they were strapped around my wrists), and slid for a few feet to a stop. It was AWESOME. My only regret is that we didn't have it on camera. So, after Chessy and I got up (she fell trying to stop and help me), and kept going. I didn't actually hurt anything. My forehead hurt where I landed on my head a little bit, but it was ok. Oh, and I kid of avoided jumping there after that. I did notice that even without trying, you almost jump if you have enough speed going over that cliff... anyway, yes, I had fun skiing. Other than the obvious difficulties of having four people in two rooms (mom and dad in one, me and Chessy in the other), and only one bathroom, we had a really good time. We watched fireworks Sunday night, and I also bowled a 133 later that night. Not bad, but my uncle beat me in the last frame by getting a strike on top of a spare. 137, four points ahead. I also thought about something a lot; something I have not yet figured out and something that will not be explained until the time comes. Especially not on the internet! So, today we drove back, and here I am. I didn't go to school today for obvious reasons. We had alreay planned our trip when they decided to make today a make-up day. I'll get my work tomorrow. Fun fun time. One last thing though. When I got back, by drawing events together from FEPJustgayeguf's livejournal, he apparently broke up with Jewz0rz. I think he wanted to be temporary, but it's not turning out that way... I think she responded by saying she really didn't care. I thought it was going well... although it did seem like FEPJustgayenuf was a little over-obsessing. I don't know really. In the end, it's all for the better I think, because it is better to know it won't work now than it would be three years later when you're even closer. But then, I've never experienced it really. Truth be told, I am the last person anyone would look to for love advice. Who truly knows who I am?
That is all.
