Sims 2

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.

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween, don't you? I love the parties, the candy, the eerie feeling you get when you're alone in the dark. People love to be scared on Halloween. This year I got to dress up for a party. I hadn't had an excuse to dress up for Halloween in three years! I wore this awesome dress I found at Hot Topic. Don't you just love that store? And at this party, everyone else was in costume too. I haven't been to a real costume party like that in forever. These two guys were Mario and Luigi and this girl was Princess Peach. Another girl was Rainbow Brite. (I was Rainbow Brite when I was four.) My friend Becky was the Bride from Kill Bill in the yellow track suit. This other girl made her costume of Princess Amadalla from Star Wars the new movies. (Yeah I know, I probably misspelled her name.) Another guy was a Ghostbuster with working proton back he made himself from wood, plastic, rubber, and working lights. It was awesome. I had brought this Halloween mix CD I burned and it was a hit.

Tonight I'm going to the Maize. It's a maze in a cornfield. Get it? The Maize. (Cuz corn is also called maize.) Anyway, it was fun last year and I hope it is this year. Only last year this guy in a hoodie was following me and my friend Laura around. He wouldn't say anything. He just followed us with his hood down so we couldn't see his face. Creep! We kept saying we were gonna kick him in the nads if he didn't leave us alone. We eventually lost him. God I hope that doesn't happen again. That was a little too creepy.

So have fun tonight. Go trick or treating. Dress up cuz you're never too old to do so. Happy Halloween!

Happy 4th of July

 

Hottie of the Month

Tobey 

Tobey Maguire is totally this month's hottie even though he's a hottie all year long. I've always liked his dazzling blue eyes and his boyish charm, but for the past couple of years he's gotten to be EXTRA HOT! Have you seen his buff bod?
He's awesome as Spiderman. He's not just some dude in a suit with special powers. No no. He has this lovable charm on screen and a realistic take on the rigors of the meaning "leading a double life."
He's been in other great movies such as Seabiscuit, Wonder Boys, Pleasentville, Cats and Dogs, and The Cidar House Rules.
Hey Tobey, if you ever read this, (and I know that has the same chance as you showing up at my doorstep with red roses waiting to sweep me off my feet), you need to get in touch me. Please?
Anyway, that's all for this posting.
Sincerely,
The Future Mrs. Tobey Maguire

Ramblings

Well June is about over. I know that I still have all of July before going back to school, but it's like a Sunday. You know, when it's Saturday it's all good but then on Sunday, even though it's a day off, you still always have in the back of your mind the thought that you'll have to go back to school on Monday. Get it? Oh come on, I know you know what I'm talking about. You can never thoroughly enjoy Sunday when you have to go to bed earlier and do your homework. Ok, whatever.

And Now For Something Completely Different

I just took a fun little quiz I found thru Google. It's called "What Monty Python character are you?" I'm King Arthur.

I Hate the Lottery

Someone in my own city won the lottery and not me. It's so not fair.

$145 Million!!

The Texas Lottery is up to a record high of 145 million dollars! (index finger on mouth in Dr. Evil style) That is an enormous ton of cash. And I must win. I have my tickets. Now what to do if I win... I suppose I'll pay for the rest of my college tuition, save some, buy my mom a new house... or I'll blow it all in Las Vegas, baby!
