Oh! I totally need to mention that I got the Sims 2 for Christmas and it's totally awesome!! Have you played it? They age now and get pregnant and have affairs with the maid and stuff. There's toddlers who become children who become teenagers who then become adults who then turn old and become elders. Then they die. But there's sooooo much more detail and stuff to do in this new Sims game.
There are three neighborhoods to choose from when you play and one is called Strangetown and in this town you can get abducted by aliens. If it's a guy, you have him use his telescope at night and then he may get taken away on a UFO and come back pregnant with an alien baby! Funny.
And I know a couple of cheat codes. One keeps them from aging. Just hit CTRL + Shift + C and the cheat box appears. Then type in "aging off" and hit Enter. (Aging off without the "" of course.) And another one gives them money. Bring up the cheat box and type: Kaching = 1,000 or Motherlode = 50,000.
It's an adictive game. Get hooked. Go buy it. Right now!

Blockbuster Bullshit
Okay, I need rant a bit. See, the Blockbuster video stores in my hometown of Odessa, TX do the newer thing of allowing new releases to be due not the next day at midnight, but the day after that at 6pm. Awesome. But the Blockbusters here in El Paso do not. Why is that?
And as you may have seen on TV they are now advertising the No Late Fees commercials. This means that you can keep you movie or game an extra day or two and not worry about those pesky late fees. But not El Paso's Blockbusters! Why?? I don't like having to run out at ten till midnight to turn in a damn movie when I could pass out on the couch after watching it.
Why don't these Blockbusters here participate? My theory is that there is some old dude with some corny vision of what Blockbuster used to stand for and he's not going to grow with society's new-fangled ideas of no more late fees and refuses to participate out of spite cuz his older brother, whom is the favored relative that can never disappoint, is the one who came up with the new vision for the company, so this old dude displaces his anger and resentment and sticks it to all the good people of El Paso. Well this is bullshit. Blockbuster is a nation wide store and they should all be the same. The same I tells you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Did everyone have an excellent holiday? Wow, it's 2005 now. We're now in the middle of the zeros. We ain't just gettin outta the 90s, we're full blown zeros now.
Anyways, I went home to Odessa for Christmas. It was great to see my parents and my dog, Zoe, again. I also got to get together with my friend, Audra, and her baby, Connor. He's almost a year old now and he's so cute!
I came back to El Paso for New Year's Eve cuz I was invited to a party through a friend from school. It was awkward for the first ten minutes cuz I only knew two people and they were mingling with others. I was like, Okay, I'll just stuff my face with chips for now. But then these other people from the Halloween party I had been to showed up and I was all, Great! I know you people! There was a ton of liquour there and like two bottles of champagne and two bottles of wine. But I only drank champange at midnight. (Driving you know.) And we played the drunk Jenga game. It's like regular Jenga but with stuff written on the blocks that make you do stuff like drink or make others drink. It was fun. I was there till 3 am.
