I am deeply in love with this girl...I fell in love with her a long time ago, and she apparently felt the same way about me. Well I introduced her to my best friend, and later found out he started to put the fake charms on her to win her heart. I had told him she was off-limits, and I trusted him...but he asked her out anyways.
While they were still going out, which was stupid of me, I told her how I felt, and then told me she loved me too. We never stopped loving one another, and every time my "best friend" screwed up I had to help him out of it...
The guy is a creep. We all met each other online, and he never wanted to meet her. I still dont believe he does, but he'll say he does to get himself out of trouble with her. He played video games all bloody day on Christmas, which hurt her feelings immensely. He didn't give her his address, though she was no more than 2 hours away from him and willing to visit him while she was on vacation. His excuse: His mother doesnt want him to meet her. Now I will allow him that his mother is important to him, since his dad died. But love should rank one above video games and mothers, don't you think? He said he would see her in March, when he turns 17. But this was all provided he gets his license. Well it is now January, and still no license. -acts surprised-
I excommunicated him from my life, because I realized who he was. I tried to tell this girl, but I can't...it would kill her to realize that the boy shes been seeing all this time doesnt exist. He has something like skitzophrenia. Every time he sees something "cool" in a movie/video game, he takes that and uses it in his personality. He lies to her daily about who he is.
They broke up. Twice. Once because she found out he still had a girlfriend, and once he broke up with her because she wouldnt allow him to spend 17 hours a day playing video games. He said she was being too controlling. Sorry chief, video games < Girlfriend.
She still loves me. Shes told me that. And I still love her, more than she knows. I love her enough to marry her someday. But I know that she loves him more than she does me. But then again, how can I compete with the perfect guy he makes himself out to be? I can't lie as fluently as he can...I can't turn myself into a video game character.
Every time something happens, he makes everything perfect for a while. She was in the hospital, so he sat and played video games and started playing "the concerned boyfriend" role when she got back, and only when she got back. I was here, next to the phone and the computer, all day for a week waiting for any kind of news. And now he makes everything super, because he feels guilty. I've seen him do it before. Every time he screws up, he puts on all this fake charm and uses it on her until shes okay again, then leaves and goes back to the same old s**t, putting video games before his girlfriend. How can anyone stand that?
I know its coming off sounding like I'm just some jealous third party who wants to bring this down. I am. I am massively jealous, and I can admit that. But I also know who he is, and I can't let him hurt someone I love as much as her. Everything I am saying is true about this guy.
So I'm going down to her area next month, and I'll get to spend some time with her. That makes me extremely happy...but it hurts to know that even though we both love each other, we can't do anything because of him. She loves him more than she does me, I know. And I also know that if I wanted to hold her, to kiss her, I would have to think about him. And so would she. But remember, I am the only one willing to see her in this little triangle.
So, thats it. I tried to tell her who he is, and she knows he puts on an act every time he gets in trouble. But she is human, and she still loves him. She will believe him, no matter how stupid his excuses...
Am I doing the right thing? I want her to love me just as much as him, like she says she does, but I also want the chance to be with her...the chance I once had but passed up. I regret that more than anything.

Another Civilization III Rant |

Okay, I am officially through playing this bloody game. I was playing for a grand total of 20 minutes, and after that 20 minutes, I ripped the CD out of the drive and threw it against a wall. Heres why!
I ranted last time that the game tips the scale too far in the favor of the computer. They don't outright ******** you over, like if you matched a tank against a spearman, but they will cheat you pretty bad nonetheless.
1. Cavalry: attack rating of 6. Infantry: defense rating of 10 + 50%: benefit of mountain. Overall defense ends up in 15. Winner: Cavalry. Every time they attacked. They would NOT attack a city containing infantry, nor would they attack any infantry in the field. But then they decided (mysteriously) that it would be a super idea to attack my infantry. And they won. Like 6 times. BULLSHIT!
2. The above in mind, I used 15 cavalry and 6 infantry to kill one rifleman. Riflemen have a defense of 6, plus 3 from a city. That gives you eight, which is higher than the cavalry or the infantry's attack rating. So its plausible that the rifleman could hold it's own against cavalry or infantry for maybe 3 unites. But 21 units? That seems a little cheaty, if you ask me. Especially when they bend the odds and win every time they decide to. Again, BULLSHIT.
I thank you, and wish Sid Meier would choke on a cucumber. Boycott, everyone.

This is where I'll be posting unusual things that happen during my gaming time daily. Thats pretty much it. Enjoy.
Today, I played Star Wars: Battlefront and Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots.
SW:Battlefront: Interestingly enough, I managed to live through an entire game without dying on the Mos Espa level on Tatooine. I sat in a corner of the cantina, fighting off hordes of rebel soldiers and taking their ammo and health once they died. Managed to off around 80 guys all on my own. I dont think I need to tell you I got the "camper" award. <__<
Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots: Whew. I played as the Germans in the modern age (WWII) against the Dutch, British, French, and Russians. Americans manage to outduke me too often on hard (USA all the way!). I played on a pure land map called "New World" where theres nothing but plains, mountains, and small rivers. I was playing a slow developer, and I didnt declare war the entire game. I got enough resources for my army, got the colossus wonder ( adds 50 to your population maximum), and began building huge military bases all across my territory. Russia, in the meanwhile, had killed off everyone except me and the Dutch. The Dutch refused to sign an alliance with me, even though the Russians were about to womp us both. The AI figures in the amount of troops you have, but not your capability to create troops. So the Russians eventually declared war on me when I didnt expect it (might be a good time to mention I made it so no one could use nukes) and began bombing my cities along the border. I sent in what little troops I had, which was about 15 tanks and 20 infantry, plus 4 artillery, 2 generals, and 4 supply trucks. I attacked them, and out of sheer defense managed to stop the 1st wave. During this time, I superboomed on my army and shot out like 40 tanks and 90 infantry, after getting rid of some useless villagers and scholars to make room in the population for them. My army fighting the Russians were nearly beaten down, but then my 2nd army came in and totally owned the battle. I took over 3 cities, and didnt want to spread out my troops too much, so I stopped and made peace. Oh, the Dutch declared war on me too during all of this, and started sending in hordes of bombers. I built a shitload of AA guns around my wonders, which they go for every time, and blew at least 30 planes out of the sky in 5 minutes. It was beautiful. I made peace with both of them, and then made an alliance with the Dutch. I havent finished yet, but you can expect the Russians to crumble. German Benefits in Modern Age: +Early building of granaries and lumber yards. +Volkgrenadiers. (German Unique Infantry, stronger than normal infantry.) +Tiger Tanks. (German Unique Tanks, a lot stronger than normal tanks.) +More time was spent on the German unit's art than anything else. +2 free fighters with each airbase built.
-EDIT- No Jews were harmed in the making of this story.

All right, a few things have happened since Thanksgiving.
I turned 17 on Friday. Yaaaay!
My erm....friend? from Orlando was supposed to come over on my birthday, but we never got things planned out so she didnt. And get this: my entire house was empty, my parents were at a Christmas party, my sister was at her friend's house for the entire night. Till 8 AM. I tried to get her to come down then, which would have been AWESOME, but I haven't heard from her since Friday night. This makes me nervous. It takes a lot to make me nervous. I'm usually a very calm, cool, collected person. I haven't heard a word from her. She was staying at her friend's house, so she might be out every night doing something, which is absolutely fine with me. But I know that she would have at least told me if everything was okay or not. Bleh.
Algebra II sucks.
Thats about it, really.

I dislike flaming, but I have to start this. Its just....so....funny. So many people type like you can only assume they talk. If they do, they deserve to be knocked out with a putter.

Something is Dreadfully Wrong in This Country |

1. One of the most hated presidents of the decade was elected. Twice. (I'm a republican.)
2. A pizza gets to your house faster than an ambulance.
3. The government refuses to stop either Bill Gates or Fox from poisoning human minds. Must....buy....computer....to....play....DVDs....from....crappy.....shows....
4. Old ladies can now overpower 17-year-old computer nerds.
5. McDonalds is being sued for people spilling hot coffee in their laps.
6. Politics. Lets break down the word, shall we? Poli: roots from the latin word, meaning "many." Tics: Blood sucking insects.
I love this country.

I am NOT a fanboy. But I'm quickly becoming 1. Oh no. It has bgun!1!! Seriously though, it could have been any game. It just happened to be Halo this happened on.
I was playing Halo 2 with 3 other friends today, and I was only second to one person. Really, I wasnt second. One on one, I think I was probably better than him, but not by much. See, the problem is, he's a lot faster than me and hes a lot better at tracking, and thus makes kills a lot quicker against our 2 other players. So my sister was there, and she managed to get a few good kills and got cocky. We got home and I popped in my own copy of Halo 2. My sister plugged in the controller, and I nearly caused WWIII.
She challenges me to short range no vehicle maps, which I own at. I grab up my standard shotgun and rocket launcher on Beaver Creek, and she comes out. Pop. This happened until I ran out of rockets, at which time she began to look up. She thought she had a chance. Then, I bust out my shotgun. I'm good with a rocket launcher, but I am death incarnate with a shotgun. She moves out of a hiding place, I'm there to put a few pellets in her skull. End score: 14 to 6.
Next game, she challenges me to the Ivory tower. The one with the energy sword. Whoops. Between that and my rocket launcher (used to get the energy sword should she acquire it before me), I end the game with a score of 10 to 0.
I went incredibly easy on her the next round at the Heretic camp map. Cant remember what its called. Long range, somewhat dependant on vehicles. She doesnt use vehicles, so I dont use vehicles. I gave her every advantage I could, dropping helpful hints, purposely missing when I know I could kill her, but I still won. Shotgun, again. That, and the carbine. End score: 25 to 11.
At this time, she threw my controller on the ground and stormed out, screaming about how I was cheating. Of course I wasnt, but I'm really good at Halo and cant help but win against someone who hasnt played much. I have come to this conclusion: my sister is an a*****e.
