Odyssey

Everyone must take a great journey through life. This is a little bit of my own, my odyssey.

Some Blog Advertisement and Morrowind

A big thanks to Tori S. for advertising my blog on her own blog, found at torinoodle.blogspot.com and also for finally pushing me back into updating my blog because, uh well... I haven't updated in forever. Oh, and more thanks to Tori for NOT being one of those people who have Xanga. It's nothing personal against Xanga, it's just that everybody that I have met prior to Tori had Xanga and were like, "wow, u use blogger? ur stupid" or something like that. But anyway, thanks Tori.

So now onto more (or maybe less) important things like... school, starts the 25th I think for me (though some start earlier, lucky them). And while the majority of my summer has been spent at a... how should I put this... "fitness camp" wouldn't really be the right word... 'cause it was more intense than that, and not really a "camp" it was basically intense physical exercise classes that were... intense. Anyway, it was really good, I got stronger and faster, but it was hell, and before every class I wanted to skip out, but after every class I was glad... but anyway, it closed, not enough money. That and I started Tae Kwon Do at my friend's school, which has actually been really fun. And Japan class ended, I guess last week. I have a lot of catching up to do before the next semester class starts... but anyway, that's what I've been doing over the summer, that and video games.

See when Sean came over (he's my cousin) he brought up some cool games for Xbox (the only games I had for Xbox prior were Halo 2 and the Golf/Football demo game that came with it). But while he was up here, we went to EB games and he bought Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition. Sufficed to say, I love it. It's one of those huge, open ended RPG's, similar I guess to MMORPG's, were you create any type of character you want, pick your skills, and do quests and stuff. But the thing with MMORPG's is that 1) my computer sucks 2) my internet connection sucks 3) most of them have fees 4) by the time I actually managed to log on to the server-type-thing-whatever-it-is my computer would kick me off. So in short, this is the MMORPG that I love that isn't an MMORPG. Actually, I find it somewhat more fun than other RPG's (but slightly different RPG's) like Final Fantasy and stuff... but maybe they're in a different genre altogether and I'm just a moron. Maybe later I'll give a more in-depth review of the game, but here's the website-> elderscrolls.com <- now that's a creative website name. But anyway, you can get info there, and probably try gamespot.com for a longer review.

Now this post is a lot longer than most posts, probably because... I haven't posted in a long time. I dunno if I'll be able to find much time to post during school, depends on how hard my classes are (going to Raleigh Charter, for those who know it, over-achieving school).
