I used to play a game called Lord of the rings online every day. My friend and I would play together and share stuff in the game with each other for almost a whole year. I really got hooked with the PVP, Player vs Player, where I can play a spider and fight other people. That has changed with the last update. It made the creep side a bit too easy and the freep side is struggling now. Not much fun when there are no fights. Maybe in the future it will get better but I’m taking a break from it.

The PVE side of this game doesn’t give me much hope too. The kinship I am in lost some good friends I had so all I do is log in for the raids so I can help out. I already lost a great friendship to this game and I’ve lost some of my new friends as well. The Kinship I am in just isn’t the same without those people I got to know these past months. I never would believe a virtual game can be so emotional and make things so difficult in real life. A break from it will be good and lot of other people have decided to do the same. I bought a lifetime membership to the game so I’ll be back just hope everything gets better.

   It’s 2005 finally. Another Year and more work. [tag]Christmas[/tag] day was fun. [tag]New years[/tag] was a non event but that’s ok. Played some new games I got. [tag]Roller coaster 3[/tag] is a lot of fun but it does take a little to get used to. Can be hard if you don’t update right away! Now I got the basic process to win some of the scenarios and it’s getting easier. I got [tag]Sims 2[/tag] also and It’s interesting but haven’t played it fully yet. Looks promising but lot of time to figure things out which I don’t have. I took a week break from work so now this week I’m prepared to work non stop.
   I have a new niece and was born last week. That’s going to be fun getting to know another person in the family. Lot of things changed for good and bad last year so I hope this year will continue with the good. My best wishes for everyone in the world including the Tsunami victims. I still can hardly believe how devasting it was. Shows how much power water can give. Never underestimate the power of water!

   It’s christmas time again when family gets together and have some fun. Christmas is two days away and it’s getting excited. I don’t look forward to the presents. I look forward to getting together and watching the kids get there presents. I wonder when did it change for me? As a child christmas was only about presents for ME! Now I think about how much fun the kids will have with their new toys. Somewhere between being a child and becoming an adult things changed for me.

   I never realized how much pain can come from a tooth. Seen it in movies but always thought is was an exaggeration. It started after eating a cookie of all things. I felt the first pain but still I could deal with it. took some pain killers and I was fine until the night. Why does the pain get worse when I lay down? So weird. That night I found listerine helped the pain go away for maybe 30 minutes. Then pow pain is back again. Well that night I didn’t get much sleep. I was too afraid to go to the dentist with all the horror movies I have seen about dentists. Ooooo Scary… I let this go on for a couple of days more foolishly. The pain got so bad that I couldn’t even sleep. Now I know all about sleep deprivation. Read articles about it. Seen a reality show in the UK about it called Shattered I believe. Learned a lot from that show surprisingly. I knew I was getting tired, slow to react and fogetting things. Next thing would have been halucinations. Well I had no choice but to call the dentist. That night was painful but more fearful too. I didn’t know what to expect. Yes I haven’t been to the dentist since I was a child. Was glad I couldn’t sleep because I probably would have had a nightmare about teeth. Too make a long story short, (too late), I went in got a root canal and found out the visit wasn’t too bad. That was my first visit. Maybe I’ll write more.
