I Did It!

      I've reached my goal of 10,000 coins! I feel so proud. And I know now what I'm going to do with it all - lockbox keys, right away, because I've won a lot of money before; and I need more to buy enough ammunition to take down the Mechalon and unlock the other levels. I just wanted to commemorate this moment! You know, it was my first goal since I bought my computer in like, 2012.

 

       8,000 more coins - roughly - and I'll be able to clean out the lockboxes completely! But now I know I can do it. I just hope it all works out. But, hey, I can afford over 175 - they can't all be the same thing, can they?

 

Edit {June 24th, 2017 at 5:22 PM} - Still don't have the courage to spend it all. I'm rethinking this. It feels amazing to have collected this much. My Achievements page says I have collected over a million in total, but I spent a lot before. Well, look at my funds now. Impressive. I wish there was a place where it said who the richest players were! I think I'd make the cut for once!

Yay!

      I am only 200 coins away now from achieving my goal! I wish it were real, and therefore so very much more important, to everyone, but since I can't have actual success I'll happily settle for virtual. I just don't know what I'll do with it all once I've got it.
      In other news, my new DVD player and remote control work great. It feels amazing to suddenly be able to pause or get to the desired episode without needing to get up and push the same button forty times (I could only jump from one scene to the next before). And suddenly I can rewind and fast forward, too; not to mention skip all those episodes I've already seen. I could actually finish my Animorphs marathon from two months ago! After awhile, the episodes would start to skip, and one minute they're at the restaurant, and boom, they're at the hospital asking Edelman what a Yeerk is. Not a single moment of material in the middle, and all because I spent every moment the DVD player was working just trying to jump scenes.
      Aaaand, I was able to sleep the whole night again without Vicks. I have never been happy this long before!

Edit {June 23rd, 2017 at 7:15 PM} - Sweeeeet! I've been very, very busy and now I'm only 35 coins away from 10,000. I was hoping to achieve my goal today, but I've done every level already; there's nothing left to do so I have to wait until tomorrow. But, it's right around the corner, is it not?

Advantages Of Boredom

      I'm still playing Shrek Smash 'N Crash almost daily. Yesterday or the day before (or two days ago, I really can't tell), I was controlling Dragon, and she actually flipped upside down after a jump and kept going forward on her head. I don't know, maybe she has a secret pair of legs in there.
      I've also noticed several more mistakes in movies. In Toy Story 1, Buzz and Woody are fighting in the parking lot, right? Then a truck comes along. Buzz leaps forward, to an area in front of Woody. Seconds later, he's shown behind him. And if all memories of Elsa's power was erased, how come Anna is still singing about building a damn snowman?

Edit {June 22nd 2017 at 8:15 AM}: I played again last night; I don't know how I was passing the time before. Suburbs Of Far Far Away. The game's already ended and I'm watching the characters zip by, and of course the guard starts chasing them. And he lifts up into the air. His legs are still running, but he's flying. So, yeah, we have a winged creature using her head as feet, and a human acting like a winged creature. What's next?

Damn It.

      What a sh*tty day it's been...The sewage line backed up for one of our neighbors. Literally everything everyone has put down the toilet recently is just...all over his suite. So now none of us can flush; I guarantee you the toilet paper collecting inside the bowl is going to flood the damn thing. No showers, no hair-washing, no tooth-brushing, no dishwashing, no laundry-washing, and no relief until tomorrow.
      Ugh. Thankfully we have hand wipes and sanitizer...Stupidly, those very precious things were left outside the bathroom, and of course we need to touch the knob to get out. Finally I put the wipes and sanitizer into the bathroom and cleaned the knob. I don't know who here likes spreading yucky bathroom germs, but I don't.
      Good thing none of us have the flu...

Mmph.

      My night was much too short. I will most likely take a long, Vicks-induced nap as soon as we get home. But I've been wanting to get out of the house for weeks, and I finally can. I just don't know if I'll be awake enough to enjoy it.

FML

      Allergy symptoms are no better. Guests coming in less than an hour and all I want to do is die. I'm basically being held responsible for being affected by the pollen coming in through the windows they open.
      Ah, some more great news; I'll be feeling like this another four months.

I...NEED...SLEEP!

      I ab so tired of feelig this way! By doze is so clogged that if I close by bouth, I'b sure I would suffocate.
      Seriously, this is stupid. I just want to breathe normally like everyone else on the whole damn planet. OKAY? Is that too much to ask for? Close the windows and turn off the fans - please. Yes, I know it's hot. SO TAKE OFF YOUR SWEATER. FIND PANTS THAT AREN'T DENIM. I'M TRYING TO LIVE, GODDAMN IT. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREEEAAAAKKKKK!
      Or be humane enough to put me out of my misery. One more day like this and I swear, I'll do it myself. Or at least I'll lop off my nose, because I can't use it anyway! I had to wipe all the Vicks off my chest because it makes me drowsy, and sleep ain't happening. The Vicks can't penetrate the congestion anymore. So I wiped it off and now I'm sucking back eucalyptus cough drops like it's candy, just so I can get air in through my nose.
      This is what it's come down to? Are you fucking kidding me? They would rather wear their jackets and their damn denim jeans and open all the windows and watch me suffer, than to put on cooler clothes and do me the BIGGEST FAVOR OF ALL?
      It's like a fucking BLIZZARD out there! Day, night, it doesn't matter. That pollen shit is coming down like a blizzard, and I'm supposed to live like this! Screw her, she doesn't matter, I'm too warm!
      Do me a favor and just put me out of my misery. You wouldn't want a DOG to suffer, so show that courtesy to your own kind. My throat feels like a cat is trying to rip its way out, I can't hear shit, and I've used so much Vicks in the past week that it's coming out of places I didn't even put it. It's oozing out of my eyelids, it's dripping through the back of my neck and there is so much blood in my nose that I can't lay down! And I can't even cry in frustration because I'll get even more congested, so I'M GONNA YELL!

Living The Meme

      I looked up Toy Story just now on Google Images. And one of them said that if a toy lost whatever makes toys alive, the owner wouldn't know, and the toys would have to watch that owner play with their friends' dead body.
      I mean...thanks, for that.

Game News

      I woke up with the sudden realization that it's June. So I kicked off my covers and got ready for the day, and sat down to spend all my coins on lockbox keys. Aaaand, no. They're not doing the sale. So while I'm disappointed that I'm stuck with all these lockboxes, I'm very happy that I'm stuck with all these coins.
      In other news, my hair is a disgusting mess. I'm off.

Game Talk

      I've been playing GameCube more often lately. Okay, I actually do both the conventional and mirrored tournaments of Shrek Smash 'N Crash once a day. And some pretty weird stuff has happened. First, I got hit by a Farquaad-In-A-Box and it didn't even disappear; it stayed right there on the track. Then my frog balloon got rid of one for me.
      Some other weird stuff happened, too, but I can't remember what they were right now.

Sad

      What time is it? Oh yeah, it doesn't even matter anymore. This new medication I'm on - what a joke. Non-drowsy my ass. I spend most of each day trying to sleep it off, but guess what, I need it to breathe.
      And since I've been taking it, the symptoms from that gastro-enteritis thing have come back. So, what the hell? But, it cost twelve dollars, which is four loads of laundry, so I'm going to use it all up and try to be grateful I have it, but when it's out I'm trying a new brand.
