Dictionary

1. having or showing little or no emotion: apathetic behavior.
2. not interested or concerned; indifferent or unresponsive: an apathetic audience

That's kind of how I've been feeling about my blog lately. I don't know why, it's not like I don't have a million things to write and share. I haven't gotten around to reading many either, my reader count is inching steadily higher each day. Part of the reading or lack thereof has been because things have been rather busy. I wish my blog could just read my mind. My mind is really the place to be, it just apparently hasn't felt like sharing with my computer.

I finally finished re-reading the Twilight series. I adore those books, they completely suck me in. The only thing I don't like about books in general are the endings, especially the ending of a series or a single favorite. I always get sad that the story is over. I love to read though and have been making more of an effort to make the time to do so, there are over a dozen books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read and several dozen others waiting to be re-read.

Back when he bought his Xbox 360, the fiance bought me Beautiful Katamari to persuade me not to give him a hard time about the new system when he didn't often use his Wii. (don't worry, I still gave him a hard time) We've been playing a lot of Katamari lately, it's so much fun (though sometimes frustrating) Seriously, where did they come up with this thing? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the board room where they pitched this game. "Okay, so, there's this little round ball. You roll it around and pick things up. As you get bigger, you can pick up bigger things until you're picking up people, building, ships, mountains, continents, worlds and galaxies. All during which we're going to play this light, fluffy music and have a cyllinder shaped king talk at you." This is seriously my favorite game of all time. The fiance kind of laughed at it at first when I told him about it and that I wished they had it for the Wii. It wasn't until he started to play it that he truly appreciated it. Seriously, if you have a game system that isn't the Wii, you should totally try Beautiful Katamari. It's freaking awesome

Another one of the many reasons why I love him...

The bf and I went to Dave and Buster's tonight with the Manager, one of our Wednesday traditions once or twice a month. The bf and I usually head down a little early since the Manager doesn't get off until 7 (except starting Monday we switch to summer hours and he's off at 5 ALL SUMMER!! Granted, that means I'm there until 4:30, but I'm actually excited about the extra sleep in time) The bf hit jackpot on this ball dropping game he loves quite a few times. Now, we've been to D&B's quite a lot and have quite a few tickets saved up on the bf's Gold Card. (I think around 30,000) Anyways, the Manager and I were perusing the prize shop while the bf finished entering our most recent batch of tickets. We'd been chatting with a couple boys and their father about the games and whatnot, and the boys were amazed by the number of tickets we had to enter and already on the card.

Evidentally while I was in the shop looking at hysterically colored, oversized velvet ties, the bf found out through conversation that one of the boys' favorite video games had been stolen. Now, Dave and Busters actually had that game in the prize case. The boys didn't have enough tickets to get it though. I wasn't there for the actual conversation, but the bf decided to help them get the game. They fed the remainder of their new tickets onto the bf's card, and he "bought" the game for them. Haha, it's making me grin like an idiot right now just remembering it. :) The boys and their dad were so excited and SO thankful. I was SO proud of the bf for being such a generous, nice guy to complete strangers. I mean, I knew he was a generous nice guy, but it was so touching to see it in action. I know that he made that family's night, and that he totally fulfilled that little boy's wish. That in and of itself made my night. :)
