    I can't sleep and I'd rather not still be awake. FML.

    Raise your hand if you play fighting games. No, Smash only doesn't count.
    That wouldn't have done it for me. My parents always gave me most of the gifts from themselves, but they would label one present each for my sister and me from Santa.

    This year was the ultimate low point. Not only did I buy most of my own gifts on Black Friday, I also ended up wrapping a present to myself and putting a tag on it that said "From Santa". The worst part? My mom's the one who wrote the tag and gave it to me. "Wow, Mom, we're really throwing any sense of illusion out the window this year, aren't we?" We both had a good laugh over it.

    Sounds almost like my Christmas, except that the stuff I did get on Christmas was bought with my parents' money, and the stuff I paid for myself took 2 months to arrive

    Guilty. Also, oppressive heat because Southerners are descended from Romulans.

    Romulans...I don't think I could have possibly have seen that coming. Well, people in California all look like the Borg with their bluetooth headsets, so I guess there's a bit of a balance there...

    I feel like I'm waiting on some sort of closure on my day before I can go to bed. I was exhausted a few hours ago (yet feel strangely awake now), yet I'm sitting here at almost 5 am with nothing to do, apparently trying to figure out what it is I need to do to feel like I can go to bed.

    No wonder I can't keep a normal sleep schedule.

    Also, I'm slowly adjusting to Firefox 4, but I think I like it so far. Too bad I'm not using any of its new features, making it a totally cosmetic change.

    I just composed a surprise song! But you'll probably hear it in a month or two, not sure.

    It's pretty cool, but sort of sad/not inclined toward funniness. (is there such a word?)

    So I brought a home baked chocolate cake with me to work today, and everyone loved it. That really makes me happy as I have never really baked before, but I did get lots of help. :D

    If there weren't before there is now. :p

    Spell check says yes. But if it weren't a word, 'humour' could always go in its place.

    I did the same. I got scared when I first realized there was no 'Open Closed Tab' option. Then I found the shortcut ('Ctrl+Shift+t'), and all was well.

    ...I don't know why I'm telling you this. But it's on my mind, so what the heck.

    I totally love it! It's simple, I know where everything is, I've customized it to make it perfect for me, and it has some great new add-ons that make it more fun to use, although not exactly easier.

    Is it possible to have a Mid-life crisis if your 20?

    Because I feel very much like that now. Ever since I realised how rubbish I am compared to other students and the world in general, I have just become very demotivated and put off of Managment alltogether to the point where it is actually affecting my work. Out of 4 assignments I have completed 1 3/4. The one thats due in tonight I know I have no chance of completing or getting an extension so I might as well just give it up. This was made so much worse as I haven't got a placement, I need to get one to stay on the course, and all the ones I applied to have rejected me before the interview phase.

    The only thing that seems to appeal to me now is video games.
    Its an escape I guess, but I'm so tired from trying to get this work done (which I must add was all due in the same week, set at the beginning of the modules, and only had 4 weeks to do it all in), and the lack of sleep, I'm just really depressed.

    I think I'm going to cry soon. :'(

    (I just want to do something different now. Managment is hard and boring, and the 2 1/2 hr commutes are starting to hit me hard (Sure I only go in twice a week, but those bus journeys seem to sap the energy right out of me))

    Yeah, I do try to play other fighting games apart from Street Fighter.

    I mean, I have played Darkstalkers and Powerstone (don't own any... :(), have all the Soul Calibur games as well, and I got tekken 3 and 4, (had Tekken Tag Tournament as well, which I loved, but for some reason we traded it in! :().
    I even have Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl, so I got a lot to play with.

    (Soul Edge/Blade = PSX
    Soulcalibur = Dreamcast
    Soulcalibur 2 = Xbox
    Soulcalibur 3 = PS2
    Soulcalibur 4 = PS3)

    Though it might disappoint you, I still think Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the greatest fighting game ever!
    (Then Super Street Fighter 4, Then King of Fighters R2, then Super Smash Bros. Melee)

    Oh and Mortal Kombat Trilogy! (Though I'm not much of a fan of it...)

    EDIT: I have no fighters for the PSP.
    Main reason for this. D-Pad and Skingrater suck!!

    (Neo Geo Pocket Color is the Best Handheld ever for fighting games!!)

    I love MKT and the whole series rly. (not 4 or Vs DC so much) Iv also played Tekken Dead or alive and Power Stone. The new WWE game is like a arcade fighitng game rather then a wrestling one and of corse im gona get MK 2011.

    Talking about Mortal Kombat has reminded me that I did have Deadly alliance and Deception (though I think we may have traded those in...).
    Not bad fighters, but not really good enough for long-term play.
    Shaolin Monks is better.

    I want to give MK 2011 a go though. I hear its going to be a real fighter!

    Also Street Fighter Vs Tekken! :D

    New WWE game sound interesting. Is it like Wrestlemania Arcade? (Which I also own! XD) or like the Smackdown series? (which was great till after the third one on PS2, then it got repetative....)

    Its odd that I love fighting games, and have so many, yet I can never find anyone around here that wants to play them with me, (one of my friends has an affinty for RPGs, another loves RTS, but my best friend loves First Person Shooters, (though like me they are pretty balanced overall)).

    Its like the Wrestlemania Arcade (some of the same ppl are on the team for WWE All Stars) it also has a lot of charecters in it from the old days of wrestling till now. (the third smackdown game sucked but the fourth and fifth one made up for it and where rly good games. I think its gone down hill a bit since then)

    Might look it up, though I'm not a huge fan of wrestling.

    I did used to love WCW back in the 90s, watched it on late night TV quite a bit. Enough to have the WCW vs NWO game on the N64 (*cough*fireprowrestling*cough*), and have some WCW wrestling figures lying around.
    My cousin was a massive fan, which kind of got me and my older brother into it a bit.

    Also the WCW Nitro was a blast to play with my cousin. Not very great, but hilarious as you can play as Santa! XD

    EDIT: Oh and I had a Goldberg poster on my door for ages as well! XD

    Wondering how many of you guys here have heard about Shahname: the Persian Book of kings ... I'm especially talking to King's Quest fans. They would love it.
    I wanted to write a great introduction for our national epic story in the King's Quest forums but didn't know how to introduce it to you guys ... although I'm Iranian :(
