A sigh of relief...

Today marks the end of the StarCraft 2 Beta!!! I can't believe I made it this far without breaking my fiance's computer. I wish I could say that I had some good times and some bad times with that game, but there was only BAD! Last night, fiance and his friends thought it would be smart to have a big StarCraft tournament. Good idea for them...too bad I had to suffer through it. He sat there for THREE AND A HALF HOURS playing. Not to brag or anything...but he was the undefeated champion of the tournament! Now that's something I'll be proud to tell all of my friends!!!

He sat there playing that game while I watched the MTV Movie Awards (GO NEW MOON)! I tried to talk to him a bit while I was watching the show and he was playing games. He had temporary hearing loss. For instance...When I was squealing over Kristen Stewart winning Best Female Performance, he couldn't hear a word that I was saying. They announced that in five minutes they were going to play an exclusive trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I told fiance he better be ready to watch the TV in five minutes, as he is a Harry Potter fan. He said, "I don't think I'll be done yet." I replied, "Oh they're showing exclusive footage of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows." His response.."Oh I'll have to be done then...Tell me when it comes on!" Surrrrre. So then Rob and Kristen won BEST KISS!!!! And I'm all "OMG THEY'RE GONNA KISS! LOOK!!!! AHHH" Of course he was suffering from slight hearing loss. But when Scarlett and Sandra kissed...Well he was all eyes on the TV for that one!!! Silly, silly boy.

So I woke up this morning thinking, I have my fiance back!!! Two months free of StarCraft! No more "WE REQUIRE MORE MINERALS!" No more talk of how Terran and Protoss are so totally rigged while the poor Zerg suffers! No more yelling at the computer! No more constant StarCraft conversations with his friends while I sit there twiddling my thumbs! Well...I could be right about a few of these things, but what I seem to have forgotten was...RED DEAD REDEMPTION! When one game ends...it's on to the next. Boooo. And that's not all. I've failed to mention fiance's obsession with Two Plus Two. This is a forum for poker players of which he is an avid member. I'm pretty sure he may play a bit more online poker now than he has in the past few months. So I can cross "NO MORE YELLING AT THE COMPUTER" off my list because that is sure to come!

This is one thing I don't get about boys. They easily sway from one thing to another. Call of Duty was a big deal until Final Fantasy came out, then StarCraft filled those shoes, then Red Dead Redemption came barging in. You don't see me flopping from Team Edward to Team Jacob, and you certainly don't see me whoring around with other vampire series. I'm a Twihard through and through. If there's no more Twilight books for me to read, I'll fill my time with something else. You won't see me going to buy the latest House of Night novel or anything like that. I have loyalty.

The beginning of the end.

Recently, my fiance and I have gotten into a few tiffs. It's usually the same argument - "You don't care about anything I care about!" "You never pay attention to me!" So we're trying to find ways to right these wrongs. After all, that's what you do when you find the person you want to share your life with. You adapt. Well, I never anticipated the change I was going to have to make. I thought this fight might end differently...Perhaps he would realize he should not only go shopping with me, but also buy everything I wanted. Instead, I was promising to learn to play VIDEO GAMES. Sigh. I really, really do not know how I got myself into this mess. Honestly. If there was ever a person that would be least likely to play video games, I would be even less likely than the least likely-ist. I'm not kidding. I hate everything about them. I can't even walk straight without falling down. How am I supposed to control some other thing when I can't even control myself! And when I say I have no coordination - I mean I have negative coordination. Like when I was created, they took more from me than possible, and I now have a deficit. Let's not forget that these games give me a monstrous headache. And seriously, why do you have to kill everything in sight? Like why can't there be a video game where you plant trees and set dolphins free from captivity? I would play a game like that all day long.

SO today fiance and I went shopping. I needed some new bras, and he came along for the ride. Don't worry though - he's not the creepy guys standing in Victoria's Secret - seriously guys stop going in the Lingerie stores or departments - you're not impressing anyone. He sat outside on the benches and played Angry Birds on his cell phone. He didn't call me once to see if I was ready to leave or anything. It was completely ideal...except I did have to pay for them myself - baby steps, I suppose! After the shopping trip I was on cloud nine. Not only did I leave with three very kick ass bras - I had a peaceful trip with no fighting and no rushing! Incredible! So I knew what was coming my way next. He was going to want to play video games. When we got home I hung out with his mom and watched some Glen Beck, which if you knew me, you'd know that was a desperate act. I hate Glen Beck. I love his mom though - don't get confused. Anyway, Glen got done ranting, and it was time to face the firing squad. He stopped playing the StarCraft 2 Beta (thank goodness) and started to play the new Halo Beta. Instead of playing, I just watched. I tried to be annoying and overactive in the hopes he would tell me to stop watching. This, however, did not work. I rooted him on and told him to watch out. I did the "Ohhhhs" and "Ahhhhs" but nothing deterred him. The night is still young, and I'm fairly certain I'm going to have to play StarCraft later. This is where the Zergs come in. Don't know what a Zerg is? ME EITHER! But I'm sure I'll be able to school you on it later. The night is young, and I know he'll be calling me to play anytime now...


EDIT - I have just been informed that Zerg is already plural. Shame on me.
