a heart with a twist of lemon

it's only october, but i've already decided what my best purchase has been this year. a nintendo DS. it's part nostalgia, but more so, it's just fun.

the nostalgia bit comes into play from a Christmas in my youth. i just unwrapped a new nintendo game boy. the old school, ginormous grey brick kind. i also received two games, tetris and mario 2. when i think of every Christmas gift, or any gift for that matter, that i've ever received, that game boy is the most memorable. don't judge me, it's a good gift. i played it for hours. for better or worse, Christmas with the family had become Christmas with the game boy. i even remember a rechargeable battery i received, that was almost as big as the game boy. that was fun.

and now, the nintendo ds. i had been mulling over this for a while. i mean, it seemed practical for me. i ride the bus a lot, it'd give me something to do. even if people tag me as being immature for playing video games, they're just jealous cause they want to be playing too. but that's what put me over the edge. seeing my peers playing. everyone at work got one. so i had to get one too. peer pressure. but so worth it. i don't even want to know how many hours i've already logged on it.

if anyone wants to play me wirelessly on mario kart, send me your friend code.
