Well, if you didn't know before, I'm a HUGE hockey fan!!!!!!!! Unfortunately there aren't any teams close to me, so I end up having to travel down about 8 hours to San Jose to see a game! And they are so super fun! Anyway, playoffs have just started and my three fave teams are in!!! The San Jose Sharks, the Anaheim Ducks, and the Buffalo Sabres!!!! Though I am a really big Sharks fan (I love Toskala!) I don't think that they will be able to go all the way. They did beat Nashville in their first game last night, and they have a good chance of winning the series but I really don't think that theycan beat some of the other teams. The Ducks I think have a slightly better chance but I'm really rooting for the Sabres to win the Cup! They were robbed last time cause of the stupid ref calling a bad penalty! But either way, I hope all of my teams go far!

On another note, I'm completely stuck on Oblivion, lol. I've given up . . . and started playing Splinter Cell Double Agent for the PS2 cause the PS3 version got delayed or something. All I know is I won't get it until May. I also finally got Pirates for the PSP! I love that game, that was the game that got me into gaming!!!!!! So it brings back good memories :D

Also, there are 15 Power Folders!!!!! Woohoo!!!! Thanks to all of you who joined and are helping out!!!! Great job :D

P.S. I finally wrote up a profile thingy-ma-bobby so please read it and tell me what you think!

Ok, some of you might remember that in May I'm going down to San Jose for Fanime Con, an anime convention! Well, guess what? Play! A Video Game Symphony is going to be in San Jose the same weekend!!!!!!!!!!! So I'm going!!!!! w00t!!!!!!!!! If you don't know what Play! is, it's a big symphony orchestra that plays video game music from Final Fantasy, MGS, WoW, and more!!!!!! I seriously cannot wait!!!! IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!!

On a different note, I've been playing a ton of Oblivion! It rocks!!! But I kind of wish there was less to do, lol. I'm one of these types that likes to finish everything in the game, get to the last boss, and quit! I am going to try and finish the game though . . . in about 5 years! Also, I kept on getting annoyed by little things and I couldn't figure out why. Like, towns being crowded with people or getting attacked at ruins, and then I realised. I'm so used to Shadow of the Colossus that Oblivion seems to be really crowded and full of toomany "living" things, lol. Which totally makes me hope that the sequel to SotC is just as awesome!!!! I seriously cannot wait for a PS3 game from Ueda-san!!!!!!

postWell, I think I'm going to call it! The new team name is . . . *drum roll* . . . Power Folders!!!!!

Now I'm going to retire to my den and totally play this game till my hands fall off!!!!!! So I'll see you all in a few . . . years :D

Well, I got bored and decided to update my page a bit, lol. So yeah, I haven't made a banner in ages. What do you think? I used to make them for other people on 1up.com but I ended up quiting it. I got to the point where I was making about 20 a week and that just killed it for me, lol. Neway, how are you? I'm doing well, I have an astronomy test tomorrow, plus a paper to write. I can't wait pick up motorstorm on tuesday! 8) I also bought Tekken 5 the downloadable one for PS3. Plus, there's a new guy at work, I haven't met him yet, but I will on Wednesday. Yeah, work has been crazy! :shock: Very busy and we're in the process of personel changes. So it's going to be very interesting for a few weeks. Anyway, hope you all have a great week :D

P.S. What's with "flicky"?

I got paid today!!! W00t!!! And I totally blew it on Anime . . . lots and lots of Anime!!!Ok, so I know I was complaining about money and all in my last blog, but this is a special case. I ended up working a ton the last two weeks so I was able to still do my usual investments plus I actually had money to burn. So I ended up buying: Cardcaptor Sakura complete series, Magic Knight Rayearth complete series, I'll CKBC movie, Figure 17 complete series, Shrine of the Morning Mist complete series, Gunparade March complete series, Negima complete series, Rumbling Hearts starter box, Voltron vol. 2, Best of Anime CD, Gunparade March Figure, 70 Japanese Gestures book, and Gunparade March Anthology manga!!!!! W00t!!! Yeah, it seems like a lot but I got it for dirt cheap. I ended up saving about $700 total!!!! Yeah, I saved that much. rightstuf.com had some killer sales plus I already get a % off cause I'm a frequent shopper member person, lol. Anyway, that's it for my spending. Next payday I'll be back to my usual $40 to get me through two weeks :( But at least I'll have a ton of stuff to watch! :P
