Accomplishment
After several attempts to talk myself out of it, I actually went to a social function last night. Even with all the work we've done to conquer it, a touch of the social anxiety still remains, and it probably wouldn't have manifested itself at all if D were there (she's out of town this week). But I still went, and had a pretty good time. I also found myself far less intimidated by the presence of children, for once, and enjoyed watching them and chatting about them.
One of our friends is having a baby this very day, if she hasn't already by the time I've written this. I always like to see her, even though I don't know her very well. She reminds me very strongly of an old friend of mine who -- this is pleasant -- died a few years ago. She sounds like her, she has the same energetic air about her, she even looks like her. I always smile when I see her, but it's an unusual feeling, almost sad. Is that weird or have other people experienced this sort of thing?
So, games. The slow season is about to give way to the deluge, and I somehow must come up with the money to purchase all these little goodies over the next four months:
Contact
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Mega Man ZX
Capcom Mini Mix
StarFox Command
Mario vs Donkey Kong 2
Super Paper Mario
Children of Mana
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy V Advance
Final Fantasy XII (picking up on a theme here?)
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Pokémon Ranger
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Kirby Squeak Squad
Yoshi's Island 2
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2
Taito Legends Vol. 2
And that doesn't even take the Wii into account, nor the half-dozen or so DS games that are already out but I never got for some reason or the other (Animal Crossing, Big Brain Academy, Metroid Prime Hunters, etc).
So, if anyone wants to throw a little extra cash my way, I will be glad to perform any services you may require, within reason. And by "within reason", I mean that no, I won't wear the Raggedy Andy wig. 'Til then, I think I'm going to run through Final Fantasy IX again; I've only played through it once, and that was many years ago.
