Happy New Year

Now that Christmas is over with, I figured that I would post one more time in 2013. So happy holidays to everyone. This post will not be a game blog like normal. Instead, I have decided to share a little about what went on with me personally. I usually don't like to do these, since my life is pretty boring, and I can be a negative person pretty easily. Although, I feel comfortable enough here to open up a little bit about myself.

Last January, I started my second semester of college and was doing okay with it. But I was also dealing with a really bad depression because of a girl. I was so deeply in love with her, that I let my heart be torn out by her. I'm still trying to recover from what happened between us.

February, I bought and played Fire Emblem Awakening. It was a pretty good game. I got about halfway through it before becoming bored with it. I also started talking to a girl in a different state. We went out for Valentine's Day. I drove 6 hours to get there, and we had a good time. We started talking on the phone afterward.

In March, I bought and played Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate. I really liked that game, and even wrote a review. Unfortunately, the reviewer at 1Up didn't, and wrote an overly hypercritical review of it. I said as such in the comments, but it wasn't well received. The girl I was spending time with also broke up with me. It hurt, because I really liked her. She dumped me for her high school friend that had moved back to town.

So a few months went by. I stopped going to my classes because I was just too sad. It was really hard to get out of bed or concentrate on anything. I hate getting like that, like feeling you just want to die. I downloaded some of the Mega Man games on 3DS and had a good time with those. In June, I bought and played Project X Zone. It was good, but it didn't hold my attention beyond a dozen battles.

In July, the girl from Valentine's Day started messaging me again. Her boyfriend had broken up with her because of her son. We started talking again, and I took a chance on visiting her again. I went up there to visit her, and we went to the carnival on the days I was there. It turns out that she ended up not wanting me then either. I found out later that she missed her boyfriend more than she liked having me there. Even after telling her I had feelings for her, she just didn't care. So I gave up on her.

My 3DS got broken in August. So I haven't had a chance to replace it. Then I got a job at Walmart. I worked there for a couple weeks, then my grandmother died unexpectedly. So after dealing with that, my aunt asked if I would move in with my grandpa to keep him company and help out around the house. So I quit there and moved.

In September, I bought and played Kingdom Hearts HD, but ended up selling it off because I needed the gas money. I ended up selling off my Nintendo DS and a lot of PS3 games because of that, as well.

After looking for a couple months, I found a part time job at Speedway. I started there in October. I also played Ducktales Remastered and really enjoyed that. This last month, I got a job at Walmart market as well. So now I'm getting 50+ hours a week. Life isn't perfect now, but it is okay.

I hope that next year, I can get out of debt. Then I can go back to school in the fall. Make a devoted effort this time. I'm also going to try quit smoking again for my resolution. It would be great if I could find somebody as well, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen. So how was everyone else's year?

I really need to start paying down my debt again as well, I was doing good with that until things got busy. 

I had a similar year to the one you did, but not quite as much happened. I'm sorry to hear about all of it, but I'm glad you're doing better, as I am. 50+ hours is a lot, though, hope you can find some relaxation time. 

As for the girls thing, I have not even thought of dating in a while, but you'll find the right person. 

Happy Holidays, man! Hope 2014 picks up for you!

Thanks. It's looking better already. Just have to be positive and ignore the b.s.

Yup. It's mostly a  mental game. At least, that's largely what I've found. Glad to hear it!

I was just getting out of debt when I got nailed with some medical bills. It's not too bad but it nixed my plan to get a Wii-U at Christmas. Maybe in a couple months I can get one though.

Ouch. Yeah, I couldn't afford a Wii U either. I'm not even concerned about it until Smash Bros. comes out, though.

I just applied the update to 3DS last night and had to create a Network ID. It asked me if I had a Wii-U and I almost cried. Don't worry Miiverse, I'm coming.

BTW. How on earth do you do screen shots on 3DS? I see them in the Miiverse groups. I thought you hit the L and R bumpers together to do that, but nothing seems to happen. I'm going to figure that out one way or another. I love doing screen shots.

I can't remember exactly, but I know it's possible. Check the help in the Mii program.

hey thanks for opening up a little about your year.  sorry love has been so tough...  it tends to be like that unfortunately.....

I'm resolving to quit smoking too.  I'm going to try electronic cigarettes in January and see if that holds.

Very true. I'm just not even going to worry about it anymore. After I finish this carton, I'm going exclusively to e-cigs as well. I know I can do it this time!
