LIVE FROM PELLA, IT'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT!

You know, I should have realized that her not laughing at my jokes was the first sign she was stupid and crazy... but that was another time, another life.

So, I promised to talk about the (way cooler and nicer) girl that I met on Wednesday, which is... a week ago today. Odd, that. Anyway, so it turns out there's one other person on campus who plays DQIX, and one of her friends just so happened to catch me playing it, and let me know she was looking for someone to do multiplayer with... fastforward a week or two, and I met her!

It's kind of weird, because she shares a lot of my interests. She get pretty much all of my random, obscure, geeky jokes. I don't think anyone's understood anywhere near that amount before. It's almost like I'm mainstream. But yeah, she likes Doctor Who, Pokemon, Firefly, music, anime, reading, practically everything short of Terry Pratchett, though I intend to introduce her to his books one of these days. She has Pokemon White on a flash card. So... yeah. Almost identical wavelengths there.

She's kind of shy, though given she was homeschooled and lived quite a few varied places when she was younger, it makes sense that she's kind of quiet. Sometimes conversations can get hard, though, when I can't think of something to say and she doesn't really say anything unless spoken to first, but that's not a huge problem.

On Wednesday night we played Dragon Quest outside, and then when our batteries ran out, stayed up until close to 4:00 am just talking. It was one of the better nights of my life, especially when it had come so soon after one of my worst. Perhaps someone up there is looking out for me after all.

So, long story short, I've learned more from my latest defeat that I can use to make a good attempt this time around. I like her lots, hopefully I can make this work for once. It's about time, wouldn't you say?

I have almost decided my teams for Pokemon Black and White... and the third version as well. Seriously, I'm one decision away from having all three teams. I will post them later on once I figure them out.

Got to see some preliminary pictures for the third series of collectible LEGO minifigures. I particularly like the elf (think Legolas, not Christmas) and the gorilla. Hopefully they will all end up being pretty cool.

Basically, life is pretty good at the moment.
