Well, it's been two weeks and I am finally taking the time to type up a new journal. Yay?

So far highschool has been cool. Much better than I expected after hearing Alakaiser's stories of gang violence, drugs, and suicide. ; ) My classes, while almost all honors, are quite easy and I am having no trouble so far. Homework comes less than it did in my eighth grade year, which gives me hope that I will be able to visit the forums and have social time more often.

So far my favorite class is English which fuels my desire to write better. The class is currently tackling short stories (usually my favorite time of the year, fiction is my thing).

I came to highschool knowing only five people but have now made some new friends in these two weeks. =)

Enough about boring ol' school. A spiritual sequel to ICO has been announced. I just have to say: HECK YES! The announcement inspired me to conquer a puzzle in ICO. What a gorgeous game. =) Check out GameSpot's Wanda and the Collosus Gamespace for some screens and information.

I've finally buckled up; I'm buying an Xbox soon. I've decided to sell my surfboard (I never get to use it =( ) to get some money for the system and such. As of now, my buying list includes Xbox with Halo, Xbox Live with Mechassault and 12 month subscription, Guilty Gear X2 #Reload, and a Linksys wireless XBL adaptor. I can get it all for ~250 US dollars. =)

Oh, I also got hooked up with a gmail account and it totally rocks. Feel free to write me at mwdietz@gmail.com (I wuv you, Jobano. XP)
