I just got home from playing the Wii with some friends. It’s really quite amazing how much fun the Wii is when you get to play with other people. It’s quite unlike other game systems in that aspect. Some people just don’t “get” the Playstation 2 or the Xbox, but when you pull out something like Wii Sports or Rayman Raving Rabbids, they love it, even people who don’t normally like video games. Anyways, we all liked the raving “rabbids”. Truly insane and hilarious.

Tomorrow is my last day at home for awhile. I’m heading back to KSU on January 15th and school starts on the 17th. Winter break has went by so amazingly fast I can’t even believe it. I have to say that I’m both happy that semester is starting again and a bit sad. I do get bored when I’m home with nothing to do, but a new semester brings new stress and anxiousness. Not to mention I really would like to lose some weight this coming semester, but I’m a little unsure about how I’m going to balance trying to do that while working and doing school. We’ll see, I guess.

I’m going to a friend’s “game-a-thon” later tonight - at 7PM, to be precise. It doesn’t end until 6AM, so we’ll see how it goes. At least I’m feeling a little better. We’ll probably play Wii Sports, Halo, Guitar Hero, and who knows what else. I’ll probably be the only female there, but oh well. I’m used to being picked on.

Tomorrow I’m going out with some friends. “Going out” might not be the right word choice, however. I think we’re going to play Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii, but I’m not sure what else. Last time I went out with Michelle we ended up doing some pretty crazy things, for us, anyways. It was after my graduation party and we went with Jake and Candace to erm… partake in friendly house decorating. With toilet paper. And a TV.

My sister is an amazing artist and is looking into attending a big-name art school in California next year. She mentioned to me the other day that she has been showing representatives from the school her work through DeviantArt. That’s all fine and good, I suppose, but being a person who hates being “unprofessional” (the reason why being part of Future Business Leaders of America in high school was so alluring to me), I offered to make her a real online portfolio with her own domain name. It’s going to be an interesting experience. She has all the art skills and I have the coding skills, and we’re going to have to put them together for this because it won’t be any good as an art portfolio if she just has me design it. I’m still trying to completely figure out how this is going to work. I don’t mean any offense, but those outside the realm of Web design have little idea about how to design for the Web. I’ve struggled with this in the past with other clients and I’ve became very frustrated when they proclaim such things as, “the text doesn’t wrap the same way as in this magazine!” (Well, of course it doesn’t, because on the Web nothing like that is embedded unless it’s in an image. Typically, this person was very familiar with print design but not with Web design.)

I guess I’m getting off topic. I think what I’ll end up doing is coding a blank template and let her “decorate” it. I’m quite sure the people from the art school will be impressed that she has her own Web site and domain for her portfolio. I’m more excited about it than she is, probably.

PS: No, my sister is not my “client”, I’m doing it for free because I’m nice like that. Plus, it’s going to be fun - and yet another thing to add to my own portfolio that is in desperate need of updating…

I’m not sure how it’s going to work out, but I’m going to try to do “Blog 365” - blogging for an entire year without missing a day. I’ve already blogged more than I have in a very long time, which is great.

I really need to just quit making excuses and finish up this test install so that I can put everything in action. I’m super excited but I’m also nervous. Whenever you move things around you get anxiety about it, thinking that once you’ve got it all finished you’ll then realize it was better before. I’m fairly confident that this is definitely for the better, but there’s always that underlying anxiety.

In other news, my elf priest is now level 14. It’s quite funny because the character is only two days old and almost the same level as my elf archer (who I spent around two weeks on.) Ho hum.

I’ve been playing “Perfect World” as well as Wii Sports and Rayman Raving Rabbids on my Wii. Oh, and my best friend managed to get Rock Band for the Playstation 2 and so we’ve obviously been doing that. (I love playing the guitar on there.)

I love the Wii very much. I just wish I had other games for it that were more action/adventure instead of mini-games. I really wanted Zelda: Twilight Princess but it was sold out the last time I went out.

Any suggestions?
