Day 82: Good day!

Well, today wasn't exciting at first..

Woke up in time for Ian and Shaun to leave..
Then sat around the house.. Being lazy.

Then Jessi said we should go to Subway!
So I went and picked her up.
And we went to Subway!

Got some food, and went to that little neighborhood lake, sat and ate, and fed the fishies some bread!
Delicious food and a cute time. Quite fun.
I love spending time with her.. It makes me feel happy.

We went and drove up around Horsetooth and up the canyon.

It was fun. Lots of awesome music.
She played me the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber..
And I liked some of it! I guess I'm slowly being able to REALLY listen to new stuff!
New stuff as in stuff I used to hate. Well, not hate, but dislike.
It was really fun.. Listened to really fun and dance-y music!
I loved it.

She was constantly car-dancing and it made me happy.
We can basically rap to the song Strange Clouds..
We're pretty boss.
Come to think about it, we can rap to a couple songs.
Woot!
We're totally gangster.
White kids.

So, she shouts random stuff at people, like runners and bikers and such.
I've kind of picked it up.. And I occasionally do it.
Today, I shouted "YOU CAN DO EET" to a guy riding up Horsetooth. I felt quite silly.
But it was also fun.

Then we headed back down, and went to Kohl's! She got 2 cute shirts there.
She got a Spiderman shirt that has " #AMAZING" on it!
And then I realized I had a Spiderman shirt on!
We slightly match.

.....

Kinda.
Same superhero.

Then I went and had coffee with a friend! It was nice just sitting and talking.

Then I went back to Jessi's and hung out with her and her dad, ate pizza, and watched some TV!
And played some Cruisin' World on her N64!
I love that game!

I tried the manual setting..
There's 4 gears.
And you can only shift up.
It was.. Interesting.

But we did pretty well. Won some races, lost some. But we dominated anyway!
I forgot how much fun that game was.. I can't wait to play again.

So....

It was a very, very good day.

Adios!

-Nolan

Day 81: Today...

Today....

Nothing happened.
Stayed at home, browsed Reddit, listened to music.

Later in the afternoon, I went with Jessi to get some clothes at Kohl's!
I liked it. Most of the stuff she tried on, she didn't like. But we did find a cute shirt!
It's green and white, with cut-out sleeves that were loose.
It was very cute. I like it on her, she can wear it perfectly.

Ian and Shaun came over tonight as well.
Hung out, played games.

I was in a fantastic mood when they showed up, so I'm doing my hardest to keep my mood happy.
It's one of those goals.

I need to be happy more often.
So I'm trying it.

I picked up a new drink!
"Marley's Mellow Mood."

It's supposed to be relaxing.
I'm saving it for a day when I'm not happy or I'm stressed, then I'll drink it.

I wanted to drink it tonight to try it out, but I didn't know how it would react with my medication..
I don't want to explode or something.
I'll have it later this week. Hopefully it'll be fun!

See you all later.
Gonna pop some magic white pills, then go to sleep!

Past my bedtime anyway.

Day 80: The Least Eventful Day In History!

Today was....
Boring, even by my standards.

I literally did not move more than 10 feet away from my bed all day.
I sat in my room.. Alone.
Listening to music. Playing games. Reading a bit. Watching Netflix. Playing my bass.

I...
Well, today, I didn't want to be around anyone. At all.

My brother-in-law and sister came over today around 11.. We were going to go to Vern's and get breakfast, then go to the shooting range.
It's something that I normally would enjoy.

It's something I would have gone to.

But..

I woke up miserable. I've been in an apathetic mood all day.
I mean, I've taken measures to make myself smile, to make myself happy.
Which worked.. partly.
Kind of.

One of those changes I was talking about yesterday: I'm going to be happy more.
It's something that I'm working on. I mean, I actually have a Word document on my computer with a list of goals and weaknesses I need to start strengthening.

So.. I'm getting started on those. I'm pretty determined, and I know I'll complete them.

Oh my goodness. I really need to start doing situps. I really do.
Being apathetic doesn't help much.

I gotta get back into working out. Very badly.

Hmm.
I'll do some before I get in the shower for the night.

I haven't eaten today.. I'm not hungry. I haven't been in the mood for a meal all day.
I just.. I don't want to eat. I don't see the point in it right now.
Just.. Not hungry at all.

Sigh.
Well, I'm not miserable. That's a good thing.
I'm working on smiling.
I'm doing fairly well, actually.
I can keep myself smiling. It's the least I can do.

Gotta keep my eyes on the goal(s).

Tomorrow, I'm going to Caleb's.. Hopefully.
Until then.. Bye!

Day 79: Not sure what to title this.

I... I don't even know what to say right now. I'm speechless.
A lot has happened today... A lot. A lot of things that were rough.

So.. I'm blogging now to get this over with.
Because I'm not going to be in a very good mood the rest of the night.

And I don't plan on doing much tonight.
Lots of music.. Lots and lots of music. Perhaps some video games in there.
I don't know what I'm going to do with myself for the next couple weeks.

All I know is, I'm going to rebuild who I am, and I'm going to make some massive changes.
They're all good, don't worry.

But they need to happen.

I'm not necessarily in a good mood.
So I'm going to stop blogging for now. I will get back to you all later.

Day 78: Derp.

Cue the big sigh!

Today just didn't seem like it was my day.
Had an alright morning.

Started feeling sick around the afternoon. I still feel pretty damn sick.
Ian and Ben spent the night / afternoon.
I think Ian got me sick.

It sucks.

Uhhh let's see..
Lazy around the house all day.

I was in a semi-unhappy mood earlier.
So I texted Jessi, and stopped by her house to just.. Hang out and talk a bit.
It made my day that much smoother, that much better.

So yeah..
She made my day perfect.

That's all I really have to say right now.

Night.
-Nolan

Day 77: 3 months today!

Well, 3 months with Jessi today!
I suppose that's actually yesterday.

Hmm. Same difference.

Jessi and I had a FANTASTIC day together!
I picked her up around 11 in the morning, and we drove around.
We drove all the way up to Estes! I mean, UP to Estes. All the way up, and past Estes.
Drove up to some various trailheads and mountainous areas.
It was pretty.

Then we drove all the way down the Poudre!
We visited a few different places. We saw 2 of the top 3 haunted places in Colorado!
We looked at the Stanley Hotel. Didn't get to go in, but we went there.
We also stopped by the Cherry Store, and... Some Ark shop? I don't remember the name!
It was full of stuffed animals and adorable things. It was cute. I liked it.

Then we stopped by Bingham Hill Cemetary after our route through Estes.
It was cute, for a cemetary.
Well, not cute. It was... Quaint.
It's hard to explain unless you've been there.

Then we went home and watched some various stuff.
We watched Get Him To The Greek, then some of Russell Brand's stand-up.
Then.. American Dad? Then we listened to some music.

We watched a couple videos on Youtube as well. We watched some dance video.. Don't remember which one.

Ah! A "how-to" video on how to Dougie. And one of the moves that the guy did was the Cat Daddy! I felt accomplished for knowing that. I'd seen the song that it's from.

Let's see... That was the day.
It was absolutely fantastic. I spent the whole day with my wonderful girlfriend.
Then Ian and Ben came over! So we're gaming a bit.

Although...
Yeah, spending time with Jessi was easily the highlight of my month. The whole day with her was pretty amazing. Fantastic. Made me happy beyond belief.

3 months! I'm very very happy about that. Ah it was an amazing day.
All-around, perfect.

I'm going to sleep soon-ish. So.. Yeah.

Good night everyone.
I hope I can have another day this perfect some time soon (:

OH! Also. I added 2 cars to my Hot Wheels collection.
The newest 2011 Mini Cooper S, and the 2011 Aston Martin One-77.

I like them.

Okay, NOW I'm going to sleep. Soon.

Bye!
Sweet dreams everyone.

-Nolan

P.S:

I almost forgot! Jessi reminded me, and I forgot to mention it!
I have a WICKED driver's tan.
Think farmer tan, but darker.
Also, only on one arm.

It's.... Pretty bad.
But Jessi also has a passenger's tan!
We.. Kind of match?
In our own special way.
It's pretty awesome. We're special like that.
(:

Day 76: Ah I wish I had a convertible.

Today was an iffy day.
Started out alright, the evening sucked, but I'm doing fine now.

Tomorrow, it's Jessi and mine 3 month anniversary!
It's a big deal for me.
The longest official relationship I've ever had!
And the best. By far.

I'm pretty lucky that she enjoys driving as much as I do!
In fact, instead of spending money on anything big, we're going to spend the day driving around.
I have a few places in mind that we're going to drive through. Scenic, and fun.

Ah.. The title. My brother-in-law has a Mazda Miata convertible...

I would kill for that car right now.
I mean, it being supercharged is just another awesome factor..
But I want a convertible! Especially right now.

Going for a drive with my girl in a convertible in the warm weather..
That sounds fantastic.

Instead, we get to use my Legacy wagon...
Well, at least my car runs!
No matter the car, I'm sure it'd be awesome.

So we're doing that tomorrow.
I'm excited.

At 11 in the morning! We get the whole afternoon.

Sounds good to me.
I'm going to bed early today.

So... Yeah..........
That's my blog!

See you all later!

-Nolan

Day 75: I accomplished... Let's see.... 1 thing!

Lies!

I accomplished 2 things!
I made this skull on Forza's decal editor.

I've decided I'm going to learn how to make impressive car designs.
It should be fun.




Not too bad, eh?

I'm going to try and make a wing... That should be fun.
Couple hours of work.
Now that I understand HOW to make designs, it should be entertaining.

I also helped Jessi find a song online and put it on her iPod.
I knew how to do it easily, so I helped her.

yYay!

I accomplished things!

Well, I'm off to work on that wing then head to sleep.
Night!

-Nolan

Tuesday, July 24, 2012

Day 74: Dream cars!

Today was eh..

Not good, not bad.
Boring.

Cameron and Brayden came over!
We're sitting around playing various games and such.

Watching a TERRIBLE movie. Born 2 Race.
Terrible movie.. But lots of beautiful cars.
The main character's car is a 2004 Subaru Impreza. I haven't gotten a closer look to see if it's an STI. I don't think it is. No little red logo on the side that says STI.
Ah, I lied. The announcer just announced it as an STI.

Still.. I love Subarus. I joined a /r/Subaru
Fun to look at all the cars I like. I mean, you also get the total tools that have jacked up their car and made it look stupid, but you also get to see the nicer ones.

See, something I never understand.
The battle between Import and Muscle.
I mean really..

The insult 'Rice Burner' really... Doesn't mean much. It's more of a racial slang.

I really don't think it matters, as long as you are a better driver than the other person.
Seriously. It doesn't matter.
*Cough* Imports are better anyway *Cough*.

Nah I don't really care.
I just don't really see the excitement over muscle cars.

Cars can really be tuned into doing what most people wouldn't expect.
Take a look!


That's not necessarily a race you'd expect.
Tuning a Subaru to keep pace with a Lamborghini for a short while?
That's pretty good.

Oh just something else. I'm not talking from experience or anything. This is all speculation and the way I look at this type of thing.

I don't know. I like cars.
In terms of things that either relax me or make me happy..

1. Being around Jessi. She makes me feel fantastic! She kind of is my girlfriend, after all.
2. Driving.

Driving seriously makes me feel so happy. I just love everything about it.
Feeling the engine, the car move.. I love it all.
It helps me relax.

So driving with Jessi makes me the happiest I can be.
We were driving up the Poudre Canyon a few days ago. It was really really awesome. Just driving through the canyon, listening to music, talking.. It was the happiest and most relaxed I've ever been.
So we probably will do that sometimes, considering in the long term, it's fairly cheap.
Gas money, but still fun.
Ah. I can't wait to see her again. Hopefully we can go for a drive.

I hope I can get a job and start saving up for a new car. I really want to get an older Subaru and start working on it. Don't worry. I'm not going to be a complete tool or anything.
My basic plan is to take an older Subaru (not sure on model yet), and replace the older basic pieces with newer ones. Struts, suspension, etc. Stuff that won't necessarily make it faster, but will 'pave the way' so to speak, to putting in new parts.

I eventually want to put in either a 2.2 or 2.5l engine with a turbo kit. The engine size depends on the model I'll get.

My therapist and I were talking about it! The part that I like so much about it is not that I could rev my engine at everyone and pretend I'm cool..
It's that I would have a car that could outrun other cars, but I wouldn't do it all the time. Does that make sense?
Hmm.. Like..
Having a potentially fast car that could probably outrun others, but not having to flaunt it.
It made more sense when we talked about it haha.

Granted, a 2.2 turbo wouldn't be WICKED fast, but it'd be faster than your average car, which is all I care about.
I'd like that. Ah it makes me happy just daydreaming about it.

As far as dream cars go....

In terms of "most realistic" to "least realistic".....
(Prices are more estimated, not precise).

Mazda RX7 (14k):

















2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (25k):
















2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo (34k):















Ariel Atom (40k): 














2004 Honda NSX (50k):

















Nissan Skyline R34 GTR (Prices are all over, depending on specific model and where in the world you're getting it from):

















Porsche 911 GT3 RS (190k): 


















Lamborghini Aventador (370k): 










BMW M3 GTR - NOT Street Legal (400k):

















Ferrari Enzo (650k):

















2006 Koenigsegg Agera R (1.6m):















Pagani Zonda R (1.8m) :
























--------------------


Well. I've got cars on the brain tonight / this morning.
I'm off to do other stuff!

Night night.
Good morning?

Day 73: Steam takes your money!

Contrary to how the title of this blog looks, it's actually a good thing!
Steam does outrageous deals.

I took advantage of them!
So it turns out nobody bought me anything in return. Except Dane! Dane got me Trine 2. We'll try co-op one of these days.

Eh I don't care. I got some games today.
For $10, I bought Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition, Prince of Persia (newest one), Hydrophobia, and Stacking.
Phenomenal games. Hydrophobia especially! It's one of the prettiest games I've ever seen.
I'd post a screenshot but I'm too lazy.

Alright, I'll post one.


Pretty, eh? The entire game is based around a ship that's sinking. The water is GORGEOUS!
I mean, look at it!
It's a superb game. fun!

Yum.
I'm going to go play Far Cry 2 now.
And get some sleep sooner or later.

Hmm..

OH! I'm selling some 360 games, and it looks like I'll be getting around 70 for selling 3 games.
Winning!
I'm going to get a head start on building my gaming PC. Yay!

Okay. Now I'm done.

See you all later!

-Nolan

Day 72: I feeeeeeeeeel youuuu, jooaaannnnnnaaaa!

In case you couldn't tell from the title, I watched Sweeney Todd with Jessi today!
She came over to my house and watched Sweeney Todd!
I just re-stated what the first line said..
Oops.

She was singing every single song that came on..
It was cute! She's seen it enough to know all the songs.
She was REALLY getting into it in the songs about Joanna!
In case you didn't get that.


And I now have that stuck in my head. 
I'll be singing that song for days.

And some Robot Chicken.
It was all awesome.

I tend to.. I don't know. I'm generally not a fan of blood in movies, just because it's the kind of thing that I'll never be able to get out of my head, and pop up in my nightmares.
But... Well, Jessi understands that. So while we watched it, she pointed out little things that made her laugh, and helped me laugh at how visibly fake the deaths were.

She really really made it easy to watch a movie as dark as that. Ah I don't know what I'd do without her.
I was able to watch something that normally would have freaked me out because she helped me through it.
And I'm less freaked out now! It was a phenomenal movie. And Johnny Depp was sexy as always.

After I dropped her off at home, I picked up Panda Express for my dad and I.
We watched Cowboys and Aliens, and Lockout.

Good movies.

Right now, I'm watching Avatar, and debating if I want to play something else. Ah well. I'll decide later.
Bye!

-Nolan

Day 71: Nananananananananananananananana BATMANNNNNNNNN!

I saw the new Batman movie!
It was awesome!
Saw it with Cameron, Geoffrey, and Brayden.

Very good movie.
My list of (recent) favorite movies is now:
1. The new Batman
2. The Grey
3. Ted

Good movies. This one was pretty damn epic.
They managed to capture the sheer ferocity of Bane from the comics, but gave him more sophistication and..
Presence. They gave him a MASSIVE presence. Booming, terrifying voice, strong stance.. Etc.

Pretty awesome.

Geoff and I played through 2/3 of Resident Evil 5 today.
Oh yeah, I'm at Cameron's house.

But since it's early in the morning, I'm only going to stay here for a short time.
I took my medication, so once I start falling asleep, I'll head home.

Once I'm asleep, I'll most likely sleep for a good 9 hours, so I'd rather be home than sleep all day at Cameron's house.


Hmmm.


Yeah.
That's my day.


I hope to see Jessi today!
I got out of the movie around 2:30, and texted Jessi. She was slightly awake, so I called her and said good night! I hope that helped her fall asleep a little better.
I don't know.. I love hearing her voice and it helps me relax. I like to think my voice does the same!


So good night Jessi!
Or good morning. Or both.



Well, I'm done. Gonna go play Street Fighter with Geoff. Then go home and sleep.


G'night!

Day 70: Old School!

Today was... Boring.
I managed to get my act together slightly.
Applied to 2 more jobs. Well, filled out applications. Gotta drop those off tomorrow.

I actually managed to register for some classes as well!
Yay! Got some stress out of the way.

I have to say..
I'm a little bit bummed. I mean, I bought a bunch of people games on Steam.
Some I know, some I don't know.
I kind of expected.. I don't know. Maybe 1 game in return? The games are less than 10 dollars, so it's not a big request. I just thought someone would spend maybe 10 dollars on me.
I mean, I'm not making a big deal out of this, it's not that important.
But I feel like it'd be kind of cool. But I definitely got to feel generous! I liked that feeling.
Part of me says I should have just kept that money and bought myself some new games.
Ohhhhh well!

Hmm.
Been on a Resident Evil spree all day.
Played a lot of 5 today.
Decided I'm actually going to try a Professional Mode runthrough!
It's almost required to have infinite ammo for some weapons though.
I can't imagine having to keep space for ammunition, among other things.
So I'm using some infinite ammo. It's not cheating! The game gives you the option of giving a gun infinite ammunition, providing you fully upgrade it, and make a certain amount of.. Some kind of points. I forgot the name.
You get them for finding S.T.A.R.S. emblems across the game, and beating levels with higher scores.
I've gotten quite a few. So I'm going to go for a full S-rank Professional runthrough.
That's going to be my gaming project.

I also grabbed Resident Evil 2 and 3 on the PC.
They're really fun!
Oldschool-ish. Oldschool to me, anyway.
It's a HELL of a lot more survival than 4 or 5 is though.
The paths are CRAMPED. And the guns are slow. Lots of zombies.
They can get back up after being knocked down, and ammo is scarce.
It's pretty awesome and stressful. I like them quite a bit.

Tomorrow, I'm going to see the new Batman movie with the guys.
Uhh.. Let's see here..

That's really it.
I think I've had my fill of Resident Evil for now.
I'm going to go play Street Fighter for a bit.

....

Or Resident Evil.
I've taken it upon myself to play through as much of them as possible in order to get ready for 6!
This is the first game SERIES that I'm playing through as much as possible.
It's... I think it's my favorite series.
Then Soul Calibur.

Yup...

I'm going to head out now.

See you all later!

Day 69: (Obligatory hehehehehe) Today was good!

Hehehehehe.
69.

But seriously folks.

Today, I spent the day with Jessi.
It was absolutely amazing!
We did a lot of stuff.
We went to Sonic to have shakes/iced tea/slushies. They were good.

Then we went to Kohl's! We looked at some shirts.. But she didn't really like any of them.
So we went to Guitar Center! We went and looked at basically everything. We sat in the acoustic section and played some instruments and talked for a bit.

Then we went to the mall! Partially to make fun of people, partially to check out the other shops.
We went to a few shops and found some good stuff.
Went to the arcade and we were going to play Cruisin' World.. But it was 75c and we only had 75.
Sad day.

Then Hot Topic! Looked at a bit of everything. Jessi picked out some cheap makeup! It's some pretty awesome makeup, if I do say so myself.

Then the Asian Gifts shop. We looked at a lot of nice knives and swords....
Then Jessi saw the Sweeney Todd knife... Well, that's her Christmas present! Unless she gets it first.

Then we went to.. Gamestop! Looked at some games and such.

Then Spencer's Gifts to look at jewelry! Found some good stuff.
And.. Some... Disturbing stuff. But nice jewelry.

We headed off to Picnic Rock down by the Poudre River.
It took us a few different.. Tries... To find the right road. But we found it!
It was a lot of driving up and down the canyon.. But we both loved it.
I loved driving everywhere, and she loved sitting in the passenger seat and picking out music.
We eventually made it to the spot we were thinking about.
We sat and talked, and looked at the fire damage and everything.
But it was still pretty!
Ish.

She was by far the prettiest thing out there (:


It was a fantastic day.

And then I went home.

Aaron, Shaun, Ian, Dane, James, and David all came over. Lots of video games and fun stuff.

So all in all...

My day was pretty amazing.

I'm off to sleep.
Nighty night.

Day 68: Not much today.. But tomorrow...!

Today was awfully boring.
Job applications..

Decided to re-watch all the Top Gear on Netflix.
The UK version. Because the Amurrican Top Gear just doesn't cut it.

Sitting and browsing Reddit and Facebook..
I popped around $50 on Steam for people I don't know, and some I do know..

I should have kept some for myself haha.

Oh well.
Christmas sale is... Coming.

Uh.. Messed around on Rainmeter a lot today.
Here's my current setup.


It's simplistic and pretty.
I have SO MANY themes installed.

I'm very excited to build my own gaming desktop.
Once I have money.

Tomorrow, I have a date with Jessi!
I'm excited.
We have a couple different things we might go out and do.

She said we should find a diner and share a milkshake and take cute pictures.
I'm very very very excited to do that!
It'll be so much fun. I absolutely LOVE *eye rolls back* taking cutesy pictures with her.
She's the only person that I'm photogenic around.
She's cool like that.

So I'm excited to wake up and pick her up tomorrow... Today.
I can't wait.

I suppose I should go get some sleep now.
I will in a little bit.

Adios internet!

-Nolan

Tuesday, July 17, 2012

Day 67: Caleb's house!

Yeah.. I'm at Caleb's house. It's pretty awesome.
I finally have people to play Dungeon Defenders with!

Yup.

Bye!

Day 66: Earliest bed time I've had in forever.

Today was a day.

Good night.


Day 65: DayZ, Rainmeter, FUN.

Well, today wasn't eventful.

However, I got a chance to try DayZ with Shaun.
It was AWESOME.

We died. Quite a few times.

But we're learning how to play.
Which is good.

I found the Bethesda Pack on Steam... It's $50 for Fallout: New Vegas, Brink, Hunted: Demon's Forge, and Skyrim.

If I have the money by the end of the sale, I'm either getting that, or the Ubisoft Pack.
Assuming I have the money.

I found a fun new program called Rainmeter.
It's...

Hmm.
Well, I'll just show you what it is.

Theme 1: Skyrim


Theme 2: S.H.I.E.L.D.


Theme 3: Destiny Unknown


Theme 4: Mass Effect



Every single bit of these is fully customizable.
Links and such to different things.
Websites, EXE's, etc.

Here's the website to get it from:
http://rainmeter.net/cms/

I'm using the Skyrim one right now.
I'll probably use the S.H.I.E.L.D. one next.

I'm going to give making these a try.
It'd be really fun.

Not now.
I need sleep.
I took my meds and I'm exhausted.

I'm off to sleep!

-Nolan

Friday, July 13, 2012

Day 64: Sleepy

I'm sleepy... This is weird.
It's only 1 in the morning.

It's weird.

Today I didn't do much.
Aaron and Shaun came over!

Aaron left because he still has jet lag.
So Shaun and I are sitting here and playing video games.
He's letting Arma II download so hopefully we can play some DayZ sometime soon.

Uhh... Let's see..

Yeah.
I'm going to go play some games and sleep in a little bit.

Night.

-Nolan

Day 63: Reddit! Ted! DayZ!

Well, today was pretty good.

Got in two job applications. Panera and Chipotle.
Hopefully I make progress on that.

I like Reddit.
It's pretty awesome!
There was a guy setting up a sort of "Pay it forward" idea on Steam.
Basically, you comment and give an idea of what kind of game you want on Steam, and hopefully someone comments on your comment, offering to buy you that game!
I've had a couple offers. One for SSF4AE, one for Trine 2, and one for Bulletstorm. 
The minute I have.. Some sort of money, I plan on buying a couple of those people a game if I have the money for it.
It's a REALLY great idea, and I love it.

I went and saw Ted with my wonderful girlfriend.
It was hilarious!
As good as 21 Jump Street, if not better.

So yeah!
My friend Shaun bought both of us Arma II so we can play DayZ together.
Assuming we get it working. 

It's fun so far.

Yup!

Good night everyone. Hopefully I get those Steam games from those people (:

Day 62: Jessi got new glasses! Also, I had qdoba.

Today was a boring day, to be honest.
However, I saw Jessi!
She got 2 new pairs of glasses, and they look super cute on her.

I also ate Qdoba.
I'm at Brayden's for the night.

Uh...
Yeah.....

Good night!

-Nolan

Day 61: As usual, not much happened.

True story.

Today was boring.

Sleep.
Doctor Who.
Johnny Depp movies.
Netflix.
Minecraft.

Yup...

I'm going to play some Minecraft, Street Fighter, and fall asleep.

Night.

Day 60: Cameron's house!

Yay! Cameron is back.
I'm at his house for the night.

Video games!
Stopped by King Soopers.
Apparently they're now selling this.


For 99c.
DEAL.
I'm talking about the Mountain Dew.
Also, cameo  by James and David.

This deal pleases Nolan.

So yeah.
Also, this picture made Geoff and I laugh a little too hard.


It's funny if you understand it.

-Nolan

Day 59: Brakes!

Yay!
The brakes on my car have been replaced.
Took longer than expected.

Much longer.
But they're fixed! Hooray!
Jessi stopped by and made my day.
We got to sit and talk a bit while my dad went out and picked up a couple parts.
Just seeing her for that short time made everything better.
I swear... That girl...
Pretty damn awesome. Not many people put up with me as a friend, and I can't imagine how rough it is to be my girlfriend. I don't deserve her at all. But, I got her!
Great event. One of my happiest.

Cameron came home from Iowa today.

And Aaron and Ian come home Tuesday.
I'm excited to see them all.
Finally.

Aaron Ian and I FINALLY get to try out Dawn of War II together!
Winning.

I decided to go out and consume video games today.
I've gotten much better at Trials Evolution. I mean.. I don't know. I hit some kind of high point.
I've been dominating Extreme and Ninja difficulty races all day.
It's kind of awesome.
Good feeling.

I've also expanded my fighting game... Playing.
I tried out the King of Fighters XII demo after watching an EVO 2012 tournament. It's a fun game.
I might buy it another time.

Then I tried Guilty Gear again. I haven't for a long long time.
It's fun! Once you understand fighting game mechanics, it gets a lot more interesting.

Actually, next time I have $20, it's going straight to Arma II: Operation Arrowhead.
Terrible game.

But know why I want it?

DayZ.
Mod.

Epic. Mod.
Zombie survival. I mean, REAL survival. Food, water, health, bleeding.. The whole nine yards.
(Wherever that expression came from).
It should be fun.


I've been watching his videos, and I'm really excited to get the game to try this mod out.
Rumors are that they're working on a stand-alone free to play version.
Until then, I shall try this out. 
With a smaller version of the game.

Well. I'm off to play some games.
And browse Reddit.

Ah yes, I joined Reddit. And I love it already.

And talk to my wonderful girlfriend.
Until one of us falls asleep!

Night night.

-Nolan

PS:
Thought of the day from Ben:

"#YOLO?
What about Hindus?
You Only Reincarnate Forever #YORF"

Day 58: Not much happened today...

Today was..
Well, boring.

Yeah..

Finished off a couple tournaments in Forza.
Beat quite a few ninja difficulty tracks on Trials Evolution.

I talked a lot with a few people, which I'm glad for.
I've talked with lots of friends recently.

All good, obviously.

I went and saw The Dictator with Cooper tonight.
It was... Ehhhhh.

Lots of that humor where you look at it, and think..
"Hahahawwwww... Why the hell did I laugh at that."

That kind of thing.
I'll watch it once, and I'll be fine.
Unless someone else wants to see it, then I'll go with them.

Tomorrow, I fix the brakes on my car.
And hopefully see Jessi!
Tomorrow or Monday.

Yup!
I'm off to.. Be lazy.

Good night!

-Nolan

Little bit of Toki wisdom for you.

Day 57: Ehhh.

Today wasn't bad!
Or good.

Neutral.
I mean, I was pissed off since I woke up.
But.. It didn't hit me until later in the afternoon.

So I went and beat the shit out of my punching bag!
I had an adrenaline blackout and then "came to" while punching the punching bag.
It helped relieve some pent-up tension.

That's.. Really all that happened today.
Sat around, napped, read books, played games.
Yup.

I'm off to play some Forza!

Actually, no.
I'm gonna take a hot shower, THEN play some Forza.

Night night!

-Nolan

Day 56: Well.. That sucks.

I was...
Uh...

Fired today.
I know, it is absolutely pathetic that I got fired from a sign-holding job.
There's more to it than just that, but.. Well, I don't have much to say right now.

Today, Ben, James, and David all came over!
We're playing video games and reading random things.

It's pretty fun.
Also, we got that massive box of Black Forest fruit snacks.
Yum.
7 dollars for 42 pouches.
Excellent.

So yeah..
I'm off to play more games!
Talk to you all later.

Also, BEN!
I told you I'd mention you in my blog!
BENNNNN.

I mentioned you.

Winning.
-Nolan

Day 55: I don't really have much to say right now.

AT 8:15:

In this case, the blog title isn't bad!
I'm not upset or anything.

Just exhausted.

Not sure why.
I just feel physically... Mehh. Still feel achy.
And a little out of it.

I haven't even been in the mood to play video games today.
It's kind of strange. I'm just... Tired.
Physically and a little mentally.

Hmm.
I suppose I should sleep.
OH.

Also, in Old Town yesterday, I saw one of these in the parking lot.
















First Maserati I've seen so far.
I'm not exactly sure what year it is, or if it's that precise model...
But it's there!
I saw a pretty Maserati.

Jessi said I'm going to get in trouble some day, because if I see a car I like, I might take a picture and walk up and look in the window. I only take a picture if it's really nice!
I acknowledge that I look like a creeper.
But I like pretty cars! And nice cars. So I like looking at them like a total creeper.

I tried out Crimson Viper on SSF4 today.
Fun, but I don't think she really fits my play style.

I've been watching Metalocalypse. It's actually really funny! I like it.

I also started Spaced a few days ago.
British humor. It's hilarious!
Silly British people.

I'm also chowing down on these things.






















Shaun got me addicted to them.
I'm eating them one at a time though, because I'd rather not explode my tongue with sugar.
Just have to diligently brush my teeth like a good boy!

I want to go play a video game.
Not sure what though.

I have 83 games on Steam.
Whoa. When did that happen?

I'm going to go play something.

Maybe Mount and Blade.

Or Street Fighter.


I'm stuck at a spot in Half-Life 2 and I'm too lazy to figure it out.


Maybe Dungeon Defenders. I haven't played that in a month or two. That's crazy! I might do that.

Or Tribes. That's really fun.

Or Dawn of War II.

Or Space Marine.
Not sure.

Oh well!

-Nolan

*UPDATE*

It's12:09!

Obviously.

I updated my blog!

Obviously.

I texted Jessi a little bit after I wrote the blog and asked if she wanted to do anything later, in case she had free time.

About.. 10-ish?
She texted me and asked if I wanted to get ice cream!
Duh.
Late night ice cream is the BEST kind of ice cream.

So I hopped in the shower and shaved my face like a boss, in under 7 minutes or so.

I picked her up, and we started brainstorming on places to get ice cream.
I suggested Spooners, so we drove down to Harmony and Timberline-ish (into that Front Range Village thing), and checked it out.
Closed.

Drove to Cold Stone!
Closed

Walrus?
Closed.

....McDonalds?
Closed.

Burger King!
Closed.

Really? Really?

King Soopers it is.

So we went and picked out some small ice cream containers.
I got Blood Orange, she got Summer Strawberry.
I had to drop her off at home, so we didn't have time to eat them together, but hey!
We still spent time together.

I cherish every minute with that girl.
Same with every kiss.
Ah I swear. Those kisses never last long enough.

My night is now 1000000x better.
I'm in a much better mood now that I got to see her tonight.

Well.
Now I'm going to go play some games.
No clue which ones, but I'll figure it out.

Good night again!

-Nolan

*/UPDATE*

Day 54: Afternoon in old town!

Today was pretty good!

I woke up.. Was lazy.
Slept.
Ate cereal.

Etc.

Then Jessi and I went to Old town! Woo! It was really fun. We spent about 5 dollars in a claw machine.
Annnnnnnnnd won nothing.
Doesn't matter, had fun!

We basically walked around Old Town, window shopping and such. It was fun!
We both have stores that we go into and think "Ohhhhh god if we only had money."
She has the White Balcony, and I have the Killer Rabbit.
They are SO NICE. But it's all SO PRICEY.

Then we went to this lake in a neighborhood and sat around, listening to music, and talking.
It was really fun. I had a pretty awesome evening // night.

I was a good boyfriend!
Meghan brought the Wii to Jessi's house, but forgot the Wii remote.
SOOOO, being nice, I brought her my Wii remote to borrow. Well, we met halfway.
But I still brought it!

So now, I rented The Sitter.
It's an interesting movie so far!

Funny occasionally.
However, I'm SUPER excited because they're making a Three Stooges movie!!!!!
And Larry poked Kim Kardashian (sp?) in the eyes!
HAH. It was funny.

I'm excited.

Also, I think Sam Rockwell is pretty attractive.
When he's clean-shaven.


Fact of the day.

Anyway.

I'm off to finish the movie, then play video games and such!

Bye!

Day 53: Generic Blog Title

I think I've used that title before.
So, I'm using it again.

'Cause I'm that kind of person.

What else...
Uh..

Well today wasn't exciting.
I was drumming to Strange Clouds by BoB for around 2-3 hours straight.

Really sick song.
I love it.

Right now, Caleb, Shaun, and Dan are over.
We're talking music and playing video games and such!

Yeah..

That's it for now.

I'm off to play.
Bye!

-Nolan

Day 52: Jessi!

Yeah..
Jessi was basically the only good part of the day!
We hung out and watched some Metalocalypse.
It's actually really funny!
Never really seen it a lot, but I really thought it was funny.

We also sat down and talked about a lot of various things.
It was all really good too.
I'm so glad we can sit down and talk.
She's pretty damn awesome (:

Not much else really happened today.
I just sat around and was bored.

So right now, I'm watching the new Transformers movie!
It has Wash from Firefly! He's awesome.

And it has one of the UGLIEST cars I've ever seen.

The new Corvette Stingray concept.



Look at that thing!
It's DISGUSTING.

Ugh. The back is especially atrocious.
This car disgusts me.
My jimmies have been rustled.

I'm also chowing down on some pretzels. I adore these things.
Omnomnom.

Uh..
Yeah.

The transformations in this movie are superb.
They also made the Ferrari a total badass.
It should be!
Gorgeous car.


I'm going to go watch my movie!
And perhaps play some kind of video game.

Nighty-night!

-Nolan
