thanksgiving recap + video gamer reborn
Nov. 29th, 2016 10:13 amI hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving. Mine was actually pretty good. The only thing that really happened was my aunt freaking out because my cousin wanted to bring her new boyfriend to thanksgiving dinner. She was pissed at my cousin because "she didn't formally introduce him to her." So because of that she'd already decided she didn't like the guy. They had a few words on facebook, and that was that. She told my cousin that if she was going to show up with him then she couldn't come. Wtf? My sister wasn't happy about that, and told her she was being very petty. Luckily my cousin ended up coming anyway. My aunt left before she showed up which wasn't surprising.
That was the only family drama we had, which was pretty good. That aside I actually enjoyed myself, and ended up talking with my family most of the time. I usually just stay in my room the whole time, but I was pretty sociable this time around with my family. I think that the meds I'm taking really have been helping me with social situations, and my overall issues with anxiety.
I've been doing a lot of Christmas shopping between this week, and last week, and I'm glad that I got a lot of it done. I bought myself 3 video games. Sonic Colors for my Wii, and Soul Calibur 2 for the PS2, and Titanfall for PC. I'm trying to get back into gaming. It's been really fun so far! Sonic Colors is really awesome, and a lot more fun than I could have imagined. I'm still waiting on Soul Calibur 2 to come in the mail. The postman almost forgot to deliver several of our packages yesterday which was annoying. He came back twice, and delivered everything which was a relief. I bought 3 anime box from Right Stuff since they were also having a sale. That package came yesterday. The anime I bought were Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex the complete collection, Saiyuki the complete collection, and New Dominion Tank Police the series. My download of Titanfall is almost done so I'm going to play that as soon as it finishes. I'm a sucker for first person shooters. My early experience with FPS's started with Metal Gear Solid, Max Payne, Goldeneye, and Doom when I was younger. I'd say those were good introduction to those type of games.
I've been pretty much avoiding the news media, and politics in general for the sake of my mental health. I'm aware of all the things that are happening, but I'm trying not to focus on it. I've found that prolonged exposure to negative media really has a bad effect on my mental health. It's caused me to have many anxiety attacks, and other mental health related issues. Therefore I've been trying to find healthy alternatives to keep me in an overall positive state of mind. It's been working pretty well so far. Also I bought these really cute pikachu slippers.
Well my game is almost finished downloading. Later guys. :)
