My fiance is kind of a big deal.

So there's this StarCraft 2 tournament coming up at the end of August. The tournament is for 64 people, 32 were invited and the other 32 could apply and get accepted. My fiance was among the 32 to be accepted. You better believe I will be live blogging my way through this tournament as I will absolutely be in attendance. It's in Raleigh, so we better be making a mini vacation out of it. If he knows what's good for him. There are a few reasons why I am completely hysterical over this (and by hysterical I mean hysterically laughing). First of all, who signs up for a tournament (my fiance apparently)?! Second I'm completely shocked he was accepted. I mean he is in diamond league (don't be jealous). But still. This is shocking. Anyways, his friends actually want to GO THERE to support him (LOL). He's seriously sitting here talking to his friends about how nervous he is and how he is going to have to "grind the shit (SORRY GRAMMY) out of this game" before the tournament. Seriously he grinds everyday. He really doesn't need to grind anymore. If he grinds more, we will be complete strangers!!! I really can't get over how hilarious this is. Like, when I think to myself that this couldn't get any worse, he gets accepted into this friggin' tournament! At least I get a road trip out of it!

Now, to catch you up, he is completely insane about this game. I keep waiting for the appeal of it to start to simmer down, but I am convinced he will be buried with this game. It's so outrageous. One day, before finals, he said he needed to wake up early to study. He woke up early, all right. I woke up briefly when he got up and I said, "What? Are you studying Star Craft?!" He was so busted. To his credit, though, he did stop playing shortly after to study. But still, it was like he COULD NOT get on the computer without playing Star Craft. He made me watch a replay of one of his games, and I'm not kidding, it was like a form of torture. He's like trying to explain it to me, and all I'm thinking is, why do those damn things look like cockroaches?! His friends came over a few nights ago, and we were supposed to have a game night. Guess what we did instead? That's right, we watched some replays of Star Craft 2 games with Day 9 doing commentary. I have to say that I absolutely find this guy completely hilarious (in a bad way). I can not even put into words how incredible he is. Honestly, he could have a real career in commentating. He has a pretty good voice. And I suppose he gets really into the games and really excited at the right times (since I don't know what's going on I can't be the best judge on this). I'm wondering if that cable channel G4 knows about him...If not, they better find out fast and pay him because he's a diamond in the rough. Seriously. I love his glasses and especially when he takes them off and wipes them and then puts them back on, which he does in like every video. I think it makes him feel cool or something. It's also totally obvious that gaming is his life as his room is filled with gaming posters. I'm pretty sure he's never talked to a girl before about anything other than Zerg. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to hell that Day 9 will be at this big tournament because I would love to meet him.
