To get a PSP. Yes Ive caved in. My friend Jon (BitWarri0r) brought his PSP when we met.
Which was a lot of fun, I took some pictures of our delicious food with my phone but im trying to figure out how to upload them.
My camera died. So pissed about that because everything looked BUT TASTED better.
Seriously, I love sushi. This place was amazing Wasabi in Johnston. The bill was pretty high but it was worth it!
Then we went to Barnes and Noble which turned out ehh...board games I dont know seems neat but hours of playing gets boring after awhile, so we cut it short, but we plan on meeting again next week hopefully.
We got along really well. :)
But anyway back to the PSP, I tried his, the graphics were so sharp and the psp actually felt really comfortable in my hands his is a PSP 2000 slim. I've always used the demo kiosks but its just not the same as fully holding it and fiddling with it in your hands.
I played Me and my katamari, which proves to me to be as good as the PS2/Xbox360 version.
I guess my main reason for getting one is knowing it can be modded, so I can get various games for free.
It will save me a lot of money in the long run.
That and I have heard its improved quite a bit since it first came out, when it first came out all I heard was bad things about it which turned me off from buying one, but the battery life has since improved.
Im buying a PSP Silver 2000 from a guy on Craigs list, its already been modded which will save me a lot of time and headache. He says its like new, has the charger, im going to try before I buy obviously.
I set down a price of $100 so we're going to meet at the tilt Friday to make the exchange.
The only thing I need to buy on the side is memory a screen protector and very possibly a skin from gela skins
Im feeling much better since my last post.
I think its just all about time, I've come to realize that life isnt all about getting married and having kids.
It's doing stuff along the way, every life is different and its just not my turn yet =).
So tomorrow, is going to be an adventurous day, I met this guy online, his name is John/BitWarri0r.
We've known each other for a few months now, have been exchanging e-mails back and forth but never really talked to an extent till recently.
He's been egging me about hanging out over and over again. I kept turning him down,
mostly due to self consciousness, paranoia, social anxiety.
But we've been talking for hours on end and he finally ended up convincing me to go hang out with him.
Im excited about it because we are going out for Sushi and I never met someone who's liked sushi before.
and im nervous because, I havn't actually met anyone new or talked to anyone new in ...years.
and when I mean new I dont mean like boyfriend wise I mean people wise, I dont meet a lot of new people and try to get to know them, so this is really a stretch for me.
We're going just as friends, its not a date, I dont know when I'll be ready to date again, Every relationship I came out of I jumped right back into a new one, and I think I need to take this time to really just relax, and figure myself out before I can share myself with anyone else.
Dan and I are still the best of friends we talk every night, Sunday we're going to a used bookstore =), excited about that too! Need to double check with him make sure we're still going though.
We are going to Wasabi in Johnston, its a real sushi place, im super psyched.
Then we're going to Barnes and Noble in Smithfield to play some board games.
So I guess in thought of that. There are a lot of sushi I dont know the name of but im really anxious to try all the strange ones, so I thought I'd post some of them just incase any of you ever decide to go out for sushi yourselves!
This is California roll, it's one of my favorites, It's made from the inside out, Usually containing imitation crab meat, avacado and cucumber. I think its called the california roll as its most americanized. The most foreign thing about it is the seaweed and the roe if added.
Rainbow Roll - I guess its named for the fact that its various colors! This is a type of sushi that consists of its inside being crab meat avacado and cucumber and various types of sashimi on top of it, (Sashimi being raw fish) Be it tuna, salmon or yellowtail. Looks really good.
Live Scallop or Hotate roll - John and I were looking at the menu and trying to figure out what "Live Scallop" meant exactly, we both made the assumption that maybe the scallop was alive when served. So out of curiosity I looked it up. It's the softest sushi of the shellfish category and is supposedly quite sweet, due to it having a very high glycogen level. It's a higher price I noticed to of all the rolls on the menu at $10.00 for 2.
Uni Roll - or better known as Sea urchin roe (roe being eggs) looks really creepy doesnt it, but I think its one of the ones I will have to try tomorrow being it looking very bizarre, I try everything once! A reviewer described the texture of it being like that of sand, despite it looking ...creamy.
Salmon Roe - or Salmon eggs! Each of the eggs is soaked in soy sauce and rice wine to take away its extremely fishy flavor but even then it still has a strong taste, so they add cucumber and quail egg to act as neutralizers.
When examples of sushi are used, this often seems to show up due to it being very artistic looking and exotic.
Wasabi - Whenever you see sushi you will almost always see this near it or next to it, lets call it a condiment for sushi, next to soy sauce, This is a very spicy paste which even added a tiny bit can really kick of the flavor of any sushi and should be added lightly unless you can handle hot things. If you've ever had chinese mustard, just imagine it in a solid form. I love hot food, but this just isnt for me. I think its more the flavor then the flame.
Like if someone was going to open fire somewhere, I would be the first person to jump on someone because
I really don't care what happens to me.
Dan and I broke up. I finally have the guts to open up about it. We have our differences but we're very close, and we always will be, we still love each other but, we just need a break. I dont know if we'll get back together again or what, but im leaving relationships alone for now. I havn't been single in so long, I dont even know what it feels like anymore.
This is what I feel like when I wake up, like someone just ran over my dog or something.
The only time I actually feel positive is when I come home from work, and I get to relax in front of the tv or something,
that or im thinking about my future, I cant stand my present situation, but I know things will be better for me in the future, and I think thats what keeps me going.
Now I have nothing, and im not going to college and I know exactly what I want to do, and it's the one thing thats keeping me going.
That's my one main goal right now, is to go to college, save for college so maybe I can work to be
a physicians assistant. I know I'll never be a doctor, it's too much work, money, studying, so it's the closest thing.
When I think about that, I feel happy, I feel positive, like I have something to go for in my life.
It's the one thing thats keeping me sane now.
I keep blowing my money every week, I need to start saving, for college, for my life. I realize im wasting it all away.
I have nothing to show for it, I need to make a change. I need to stop writing all these empty words.
I need to do something.
I've also decided to make some other changes, maybe they'll affect my moodiness,
I've decided to eliminate meat from my diet, be a vegetarian.
NOT a VEGAN
I really like dairy products, and I don't think I can give up sushi just yet.
But I can do without chicken and red meat.
Don't eat much of it anyway,
Maybe it'll change me. If I make changes in my life. Start with the little things and work my way up.
But I do need to start and I think thats the toughest part.
Physical that is. Having a serious migraine right now. Also on my period which doesnt help. Which might explain the migraine.
Its like my body's way of saying, if your not having cramps, you have to have a headache.
You don't have a choice of not having pain, it's either one or the other.
I'd take the day off but I dont have anymore sick days and apparently in order to keep my insurance,
I can't have any days off work. This sucks.
So yeah, I gained a few more pounds than I would have liked. So im back on the diet thing again.
I didn't terribly gain, just enough where if I work at it, It shouldn't be hard to lose.
This is my one goal for the year, and I really want to accomplish it.
I know that if I get down to a certain point my body will eventually stop gaining.
That's what I want to get to, for instance if I get down to 145 or so my body will probably retain that.
Yesterday I had a bunch of rice cakes, they taste like communion wafers but they fill me up.
So I really dont care.
I've been having a lot going on in my life lately,
I met this guy online, for now I'll just refer to him by his usernm - Bitwarrior,
He lives in Connecticut, likes video games, into computers, rpgs and such, like myself.
Hes really nice, We've been talking on and off through e-mails for a few months.
Mostly about games and the struggles we're going through in our lives.
Now your probably thinking "What's Dan thinking about this" Im pretty sure he's ok with it.
He has female friends, so I can have male friends.
Bit wants to meet me so we can hang out, play some games what not.
I would like to meet him however, I come to find I've developed this ...phobia I guess of meeting new people.
So add that to Thunder, lightning and now Meeting new people.
I guess im just afraid it might be terribly awkward and he may never want to talk to me again.
Im the type of person who will say something and everyone either goes dead silent or someone will be like
OH YEAH.. heh.
This is becoming a problem, I'd like to meet new people and make friends but I can't break out of my shell.
I guess im afraid of the commitment which is why I have only 2 real people I can actually confide in.
Which speaking of that, meeting new people.
I am so so proud of Dan, He's really confident, while at the same time he has a phobia similar to myself, he is able to break out of his shell easily and manage to talk to people with confidence. I admire him for that.
In a way im jealous of him.
He recently joined a gaming group at CCRI that plays Magic.
I really wish I could go with him because it seems fun but I have the feeling that I would be just stuck on him like glue or again just really socially awkward.
Not to mention I can't seem to grasp the concept of Magic.
Dan tried to teach me but I just dont get it. Either that or I cant hold interest long enough to get it.
See it'd be easy to socialize because magic would be the topic of choice.
But how can I talk about something I don't even know how to play?
Im trying to find a youtube video that might explain easier.
I found this one, its part of a series on how to play, though I might need headphones to hear it better.
Ive come to the conclusion that, for the time being, im not going to be using facebook or myspace for awhile.
I dont know why but I find myself really depressed, when I go to either or, just seeing people go to school and hearing them talk about things their doing in their lives.
Its just a lot for me to take.
For that reason im not going to be using either sites for whatever amount of time I need.
Its not that I dont feel happy for my friends, I just need to focus on me and my future and not so much as what I can do in comparison to them and what they are doing.
Im going to continue to update this, and my twitter, which can also be seen on facebook.

Feel free to follow me if you like. Also if you reply to my status's on facebook I will get them =), and will reply back via twitter.
I can also be contacted by e-mail: Annabell_Scorpione@yahoo.com
or feel free to comment.
I will get back to you in either form =)
Thanks, guys.
I've been twitter wayyy too much, it's kind of addicting, I used to make fun of everyone who did it, but I kind of see the appeal now. Short little updates about things in your life. =p.
It's 1:00am my parents just got home from Aruba, I actually missed them. Finally Luna can stop whining for someone to play with her who wont be completely exhausted from work.
I just bought these from a girl on Etsy, I've always loved the look of plugs but I never quite liked the idea of giant holes in my ears, that will never shrink.
Not only that but I like earrings in general =), So when I saw this girl's store, I jumped on these.
These are fake plugs, for people who like the look but not the aftermath, its a plug thats split in half but it connects in the middle, so there is a hole in one end of the plug and a post in the other. They attach so it looks like a plug but isnt.
I thought these were quite cute.
I've become such an etsy addict. I have 25 ++ feedback now.
I wish I could make things and sell them. Im kind of jealous of a lot of artists on here.
I bought a really cute pair of cat ears too to wear to the halloween party at work. I'll take a picture and post it at some point. They look awesome on me ^_^
Bought this a couple of weeks ago, made by a seller on etsy, silver plated wiring with swarovski crystallized elements, It looks a lot shinier in person. Definetely one of my more favorite purchases.
Like this song. I had no idea boys like girls released a new album.
It's what the Companion of Xanth pc game was based off of.
I really liked the game so when I heard it was based off this book series. I jumped on it.
If you havn't played the game its abandonware, and Im sure you can find it online somewhere.
It's a really humorous rpg ^_^
Another book I got off BandN.com Its newer so I didn't get it for as cheap a price as I got Demons dont dream ($5.00)
It's about this kid who is Asian, doesn't speak English but his family migrates to America to live with his dad, they run a store called East meets West. I like reading books about my culture, even if its not Thai specific.
I've been buying a lot of books of BandN.com because I can get them for super cheap used and they look, brand new. This book is about a girl who is half Asian/half American, she wins a contest to draw manga and moves to Japan, leaving behind her fiance and her life. To live with a crazy asian family and fulfill her dream to draw manga?
Havn't read it yet but it sounds good.
Got this one, which I still havnt received yet, and im a little concerned about it, It's been 12 days since I put the order in, It's about this girl who becomes homeless, and sees this tragedy happen this family and she decides to live in their house, she finds little odd jobs in the mean time to make money like being an extra on a set or a waitress. It just sounds good =).
Remember that bitch, yes bitch. Who ripped me off, I was suppose to get this book for $15.98 but she never sent it to me. I sent Paypal an e-mail telling them I never got my package nor my money, and I filed for mail fraud against her.
I found her address and phone number on google and I submitted them both to the US postal service.
Paypal pretty much took a month to process my claim, but it was worth it because I got my money back.
Now I know better to look at feedback before I blindly buy anything from a used book seller.
Her feedback on BandN.com is atrocious. It was my first time buying a book on there and I didn't even check.
Catz Books and More 4 less AKA Linda Flores from Goosecreek SC.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HER, She will rip you off. She'll take your money and run.
If you send her an e-mail she'll send you back a reply talking about health problems or being in the hospital.
Don't believe her bullshit.
Because guess what, I bought this book a month ago, and have yet to receive it.
If you have health issues or this is too much to deal with, then you shouldn't be selling to people if you can't fulfill.
Ok so I need to take my sleeping meds and wait for them to kick in, might read, might post tomorrow, dunno.
=p
Today was a particular day that I found a little hard. One of my more favorite residents passed away.
This job isn't for everybody. As a CNA you deal with a lot.
If you don't like to run around, this isn't the job for you.
If you don't constantly like to be on your feet, this isn't the job for you.
If you don't like vomit, blood, or shit this isn't the job for you,
If you can't deal a lot of strain this isn't the job for you,
If you arent a caring person, this is not the job for you,
If you are afraid to get too close, this is not the job for you.
It's moments like today that just make me wonder, can I keep doing this?
They say not to get too involved, or too close, but its impossible. with this type of work.
There are people who are like that, and they are just the kind of people you hate to be around.
I think to myself, I could be making minimum wage doing something else, with less heartache.
I think to myself, I could have absolutely no job, like some other people out there.
I love my residents. So much, and I find that when im off for a few days, I miss them.
They've become my 2nd family.
I went to the emergency room 2 weeks ago I sprained my shoulder, and it was the cutest thing,
2 of my residents said they were worried about me,
It's little things like that, that make me feel like I have the best job on the planet.
Like what I do does matter to someone.
It feels good =D.
If I ever lost my job, I think I'd be lost, in my life.
Though sometimes Im tired, or lazy, or in a bad mood, and just dont feel like going,
I feel way better coming home, then I might have going into work that day.
Not a lot of people can say that, but im glad I can ^_^.
Im not going to do this my entire life, but I'm definetely going to stick with this field.
I just might be a PAC or something.
Ive been having so much trouble. Not sure why. Tossing and turning a lot more than normal..
Anyway that isnt what im about to write about, It's actually completely off topic about what im going to write about.
This little image has been surfing gamer sites everywhere. It's authentic. The new DSi XL.
The only reason I can see Nintendo, coming out with two new designs in the same year,
Is to get rid of the Flash card problem.
If you arnt aware, there are flash cards out there that allow you to download games off the internet, put them on the flash card and allow you to play them on your DS. This is Illegal. However, flash cards are allowed to exist, because they can also store data such as music, and allow recreational use for Homebrew games.
It's since gained a lot more knowledge with word of the R4 cartridge.
Which the original no longer is sold due to the fact that Nintendo completely destroyed the company.
But there are still a lot of off brand R4's being sold that work very similar if not at all different then the original.
At the original lauch of the DSi, hackers found that flash cards no longer worked with their DSi.
But it didn't take them long to create a card that would work on the DSi.
That's the only reason I can think that they would launch a new design this soon, hoping to market it to people who have little knowledge of flash cards and at the point in which they do find out will not work with their new system.
The new design is shocking really. They've gone bigger, but thinner. It's like we're going back to the years of The DS Phat or the bulk DS.
I thought we were going for smaller, more handheld. It's starting to look more like a mini laptop then anything else.
The screen is way bigger. but the battery life is a lot less, 9 - 14 hours for the XL
As opposed to 15-19 for the DSlite
I think the only reason I would consider an upgrade is if it were to change my gameplay somehow.
But all the games that work on the DSi and the DSi XL work on the ds lite.
Any DSiware is really only mini games, that arnt worth even playing.
The only hope of Nintendo actually getting rid of this flash card problem, would be to change the entire cartridge design of DS games, but Nintendo is good for one thing, they are devoted to their fanbase, their cartridge has remained the same for all 4 of their ds systems.
So those who still have a DS Phat can still play current games even if they didn't upgrade to a DSi or a DSlite.
Unlike people like Sony who's head boss said that the price of the PS3 was perfect for people who wanted the best in graphics and technology and those who didn't, did not want the best.
That sounds like someone who obviously cares more about the money he is making as opposed to the fanbase that buys the product. Gee I wonder why the PS3 has been selling so poorly.
The new DS XL releases November 20th in Japan, Quarter 1 in 2010 for everyone in the US
Ok that was pretty random. If I may say so :p read more
