Video Games!

Nyerrrrr (my sound for frustration, boredom, dislike, and randomness [feel free to use it, totally comes in handy a lot of times]) I definitely did NOT forget to blog yesterday, for the record! I was planning to, but then people intruded in my plans. Don't you hate that? When you have your whole day planned out and then things happen and all your thoughts are scattered and your schedule falls apart? But keep in mind, that those times are also when the lovliest things tend to happen. Impromptu visits to places, recalling old times...

But whatever. I was on Youtube (actually I still AM) and I'm looking up all of these old songs from video games. (homework? what homework? hehe... -_- ) Ah, they're really not so much memories seeing that I still play some of them. Video games, to me, never lose their appeal. In fact, the old stuff is usually the better stuff. Old people say that- am I becoming old!!?! AHHH!! merh. See now I'm sounding more of a weird teenager and less like a lonely philosopher who studies people all day. (which is sort-of like my dream job) LOLZ.

This is one of my favorite games.

Some songs still freak me out a little inside. Lavender Town's background music ? Yeah. Just a little. Ghost House from Mario Kart? Double. But still, awesome!

There were a few games in my childhood that just scarred me for life. Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday. No clue as to why my parents have that or even where they even got it from. I mean, seriously, Daffy Duck has fangs. Fangs! And there's those evil leprechauns and there's fog. Fog everywhere. SWIM? ( [lol threw you off didn't it?] "See What I Mean?") Go. Just go. Click the link! Now! Why are you still reading?

So speaking of SNES games, I'm gonna tell you a few of my faves:

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (actually all DK titles)
Ms. Pac Man
Street Fighter II Turbo
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time
Taz Mania
Super Mario Kart
Wheel of Fortune
Tetris Attack

There's more, I'm just too lazy to name them... Okay, so I forgot. But I can just go into the ol' game cabinet and check 'em out. I miss playing on it. I think I'll have a game day Saturday...

Song Quotes

"We'll all float on."
"Sometimes all I really wanna feel is love. Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry. Sometimes my feelings get in the way of what I really feel I needed to say."
"And we will never be alone again, 'cause it doesn't happen every day... kinda counted on you being a friend. Can I give it up or give it away? Now I thought about what I wanna say, but I never really know where to go so I chained myself to a friend, 'cause I know it unlocks like a door."
"My gears, they grind more each day, and I feel like they're gonna grind away. And the city blocks, they drive me wild, they're never ending, mile after mile. I just don't know what to do, I'm too afraid to love you."
"It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.."
"Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye. Remember me, once in a while, please promise me you'll try."
"I'd rather be a comma, than a full stop."
"We all need somebody to lean on."
"Someday, I will be strong enough to lift not one, but both of us."
"Nothin' lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change."
"I took my love down to violet hill... There we sat in snow. All that time she was silent still, said 'If you love me, won't you let me know?'"
"Flames to dust, lovers to friends, why do all good things come to an end?"
"If you're lost you can look and you will find me... time after time. If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting... time after time."
"If every second counts on a clock that's tickin', gotta live like we're dying."
"At night when the stars light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moon... trying to get to you. In hopes you're on the other side, talking to me too.. Or am I a fool who sits alone, talking to the moon?"
"Pretty, pretty, please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing.... you are perfect... to me."
"I want love to roll me over slowly, stick a knife inside me, and twist it all around. I want love to grab my fingers gently, slam them in a doorway, put my face into the ground."
"But I'm a freak, I'm a weirdo... What the hell am I doing here?!? I don't belong here..."
"You use your heart as a weapon, and it hurts like heaven."
"I don't mind spending everyday out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile. And she will be loved..."
