Bought my self laptop with my graduation money (my first laptop so far). =)

It's an Acer Aspire 5520, so far I'm happy with it. I'm still getting used to Vista though :P and the cream colored keyboard.
I bought Audiosurf off steam. If you enjoy games such as rockband and guitar hero, and also enjoy tetris etc, get this game. If anyone else has it you can add me (username Antzor) to your friends list.
Other than that I recently got a tux, 24 beers and a bottle of olde english. Its prom time

Well, I know about that game. You reminded that I was interested in that game. Made me remember that I have $10 in my Paypal balance. And look, just look! The game is $9.99! Alright... try to buy... oh... sales tax... now I can't buy it because I'm $.88 short... Now I got to add funds and it'll take until at least Monday or Tuesday to get through with my bank... just wonderful.
Yeah AudioSurf is pretty cool. I bought it a couple of months ago.
So today I bought a new mountain bike, some more clothes for my holiday to Florida in July, a couple of books and Age of Conan.
*runs*

That is the best gaming purchase you have ever made. Mass Effect is my favourite game of all time. Its simply awesome.
And don't worry, I'm not abandoning the swamp again. I'll only be playing AOC very casually.
I promise.

That's what they all say...
I had 2 years of total addiction to WoW, it took over my life. Trust me when I say I'm not going to make that mistake again. I've well and truly learnt my lesson. I've only bought AoC to pass the time during the day after all the housework is done. My sister is currently contemplating divorce because her husband is so addicted to WoW. Its sad.

That's kind of scary.
I didn't know that it could get that bad. :(
_EW_
Oh it can get much much worse. I could tell you some stories, but I won't. I'll just give you one example. There was a couple in my old guild who had their 4 kids taken into care because they completely neglected them. When I asked her how she could possibly let it get that bad, she said WoW came first.
Wow, .... hah -- pun -- looks like somebody's got problems.
Also, to pass the time, I'd suggest something like Puzzle Quest, Lumines, or Uno. : P
I feel like one of the survivors from the black plague who managed to live only to due genetic immunity: I got bored playing WoW and quit within three months.

In my line of work, you are one of many thousands who get caught up in the WoW addiction. I always joke with my customers who come in with their parents. I assure the parent that "now that I have put the needle in his arm, all of his funds will now go towards 60 day WoW cards, booster packs, and get used to the back of his/her head. Have a nice day!"
I am actually surprised they have not made a support group for MMO addicts. They have even made fun of them on Law & Order SVU, and Numb3rs.

Other than you being a Beatles fan, I have a new found respect for you. You freebased WoW and recovered! Impressive. As a single white male with no children, I have refused to dabble in MMOs.

Me too? I played WoW for maybe four months (started out daily for the first month, by month four I had trouble finding the reason to open up the program) and got bored before I got to level 25.
Urr... but I did play Guild Wars a good amount. Only made one character, and played on and off for about a year, enough to get to level 20 (max).
But now I avoid them like the plague.
...that just really put something into perspective for me, TiE.
You played WoW almost everyday for a month, then continued for the rest of 4 months... and barely got to level 25.
I have a friend who apparently just finished his third (maybe 4th?) week and he's nearly level 60.
He has no life.
Don't jump to conclusions about your friend yet. Maybe TiE was just really really bad.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, I always assume that to be the case.
catcher in the rye is a good book

This is me. However not only did I get bored, the thought of playing WoW enraged me because it was so terrible.

And this is coming from someone that's put 1444 hours into EVE >.> <.<
I have another friend who put in over 2000 hours into Guild Wars within his first 11 months or so of owning it.
That's roughly a quarter of his life spent playing. He's ridiculous.

According to my Xfire profile I've played a total of 1 569 hours of WoW since 2005. :3
Well let's see. Based on playing WoW for 4 hours every day and 5 hours every night for 2 years, that's 6570 hours which is equal to approximately 274 days of my life. Jesus Christ, when you look at it like that...
Never played a second of it... it never actually crossed my mind to do so. :joy:
Just bought Guitar Hero III and Lost: Via Domus. I beat Lost in only 1 evening's play... kinda dissapointed.
Unfortunatley, I still play WoW.
It's getting pretty boring though. Especially with a lot of real life friends quitting. Tabula Rasa is fun, maybe I'll waste my life there next.

It's even worse if you only factor in waking hours, which makes more sense. I think you've said before that you sleep about four hours a day but for you that would still equate to almost 313 days.
For the average person (7 hours of sleep a night) It equates to almost thirteen months. :eek:
And I knew people who where litterally on it all day from 8am to midnight. I thought I was pretty tame compared to them. :/
Get off that mess! :p
Catcher in the Rye is good but overrated, I think.
Currently reading
Ugh, I was supposed to read The Prince when I was in high school, but I ended up just skimming through it because I didn't have time. Parts of it are interesting, others made me want to throw it out the 2nd floor window.
Slaughterhouse-Five was a good choice.
_EW_
great books.
The Bourne Legacy is good as well, not quite up to Ludlum standard, but still a good read.
there's another two coming out soon.

i thought bourne betrayal was out now and that legacy was the one being released soon
Just finished reading the Tales of the Otori Trilogy by Lian Hearn. Its like a cross between Harry Potter and Crouching Tiger with ninjas, magic, love, sex, revenge and suspense. Universal have snapped up the rights, so get reading them now before the films spoil them. The best books I've read in years. Absolutely frickin amazing.
I got surgery today!
My nose should go from looking like this:

to this

Should help with breathing problems, chronic sinusitis, and chronic headaches.
Right now I feel pretty ****ty though. :(
Will it make you more beautiful though?
Congrads Rox. Will they put the end of the nose back on though?
I got a skirt today, a skirt and some footpad thingies for my high heels. No pics, but now my shoes won't slip off.

rhett got the same things
how ironic
That's utter nonsense. My high heels never slip off.
And this is coming from someone that's put 1444 hours into EVE >.> <.<
>_>
I realized the irony of this after posting.
but still. screw WoW.
