Attack of the Monkeys
*sigh*
And this summer was supposed to be productive...
Over the past month or so, I've discovered an entire civilization of monkeys has settled onto my back. Here is a brief synopsis of a couple tribes of monkeys, and their leaders.
**The Bookworm Monkeys
These devils have tried to forcefeed me books pretty much all summer long.
*The Harry Potter Monkey
This monkey whispered in my ear, "The 5th Harry Potter book was just released... but you haven't read any of the books. Why don't you start?"
My brother happened to have the 1st and 5th books, so I started reading the first. And my mom picked up 2-4 from the library.
I read the books.
Quite quickly.
Within a week, I had read them all. All 5. Within a week. Yeah.
*The General Reading Monkey
It has been whispering all summer long. "Read the Riverworld Trilogy... Read the Hitchhiker's Trilogy... Read that one book with Dirk Gently... Read A Short History Of Nearly Everything... Read The Da Vinci Code... Read Snow Crash... Read Cryptonomica..."
I've done exactly what it says. Right now I'm on my way through Snow Crash. I've been reading it over the past few days, which is quite a long time. It has some very good ideas... but it just doesn't 'click' with my mind.
**The Gaming Monkeys
These brutish fellows force me to sit on my butt and play games. A harsh task, indeed.
*The Frozen Throne Monkey
This monkey, who was complaining about a cold toilet or something, whispered in my ear "Dude, you played through the WarCraft III beta, WarCraft III, and the Frozen Throne beta... just buy this game, dang it!". So I purchased the Frozen Throne on the day it came out, and played it over the next few days until I beat it. Overall, its a fun game... but the plot/story is god-awful. I was really expecting it to take off from WarCraft III's horrible story and do something really good... but it was just more stupid 'World Tree'/'Frozen Throne' stupid crap.
*The Vice City Monkey*
This monkey came out of nowhere, and noticed that GTA: Vice City was $30 at Best Buy yesterday. So it whispered "Buy it, you fool!" I've been playing it quite a bit over the last few days. I really like it.
Conclusion
So if you've been wondering why I haven't been posting comments/news/etc. as recently lately, that's the reason.
Oh, and in case you're wondering why WC hasn't been posting lately... I dunno either. It seems he resigned. And it seems I fired him after he resigned without telling me. And I haven't told him that I may have fired him. So yeah... I dunno what's up with that.

You wan't to know bad? You want to know addicted to find *something* worthwhile to read?
Go
here. and click on Book, then click on Harry Potter. I have read over 300, +10,000 and at least over 40 +100,000 word fics since January. I got the links to prove it. And I wonder where my social life has gone?
Another site, if your desperate is here. And if you want more, search google. Theres a of fanfics about it. Lots. Oh, yeah, as a hint, 'slash' is not really something you would want to get into, unless you like that kinda thing, which I don't. I don't hate it, its just that I don't actively persue things like that. A little bit, outa the way, just for plot's sake I don't mind.
Must learn to stop writing so much..
Must Learn...
5th edit --> Maybe this time the links will allow themselfs to become links...

I enrolled in Hogwarts online...I'm in Hufflepuff. I LOVE the way that word sounds.
