Tuesday, 31 August 2010 10:05 amAnd then I need to remember that reading forum threads about that new game that comes out today that you really want to play but can't because you don't own the system is a bad idea. gdi I would go on a CLEAN ALL THE THINGS rush of the house all day if I knew that it would be for setting up a wii to play Other M sometime in the next week. At this point I think I would sell my PS2, which is of course blasphemy as I only own like forty PS2 games (probably more; I've never counted) and anyway it's a pretty old original PS2 and I'd be lucky to get $50 for it.
Obviously I'm not thinking clearly. I mean, I get like this over all kinds of things. I got like this over Final Fantasy XIII, and look how that turned out. I guess right now I'm just feeling envious - I mean, I used to be the one with all the cool stuff, and now everybody else has all the cool stuff, and I can't play with any of it. I'm not even the person anybody thinks of when they want to have other people over to play with all their cool stuff (and I'm going to kill that train of thought right there, because I don't like where it's going).
It's easy to think, "Oh, I'll just save up for it!" when you're really into something, and realistically I know I could have a Wii of my very own by November, if I started saving now. If I - heavens forbid - got a job, it would take even less time. But there's a difference between "This is for Metroid!! /fistpump" when you're really into it, and when you're not it's more like, "Remind me again why I'm not buying food?" (Or "Remind me again why I'm suffering the horrors of customer service?" if you're working, I guess.) Unless you're really into it the whole time, in which case you're probably more likely to compare your suffering to being drained by a Metroid. I mean, since I only have fourth block two days a week now, I can eat lunch at home more often, so I guess I could pull it off if I was really into it the whole time. It's not like I'm not going to drag myself through the first week of school purely by thinking, "This is for Birth By Sleep!!" the hole time anyway. (And then get dragged into the abyss that is college applications and entrance exams and have nothing left to live for. "This is for TRON!!" maybe.)
I realised I talk about this kind of thing (money management, I guess is what I'm thinking of) a lot here, and it's probably a lot of "crai more, spoiled brat" to basically anybody else. I think doing this helps me figure out what I'm going to do, though; it forces me to stop and think about things. I still don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I do know what I'm not going to do, and that is get my hopes up. I'm not going to magically have a Wii tomorrow to play Metroid on, and that's okay.
