Rogue Idea

here is a picture of what i spent all morning on:

basically linda wanted to get a wii for her bf and so she wanted me to come so we can split up and wahtever and get one.  now i honestly didnt think it was gonna be too hard but apparently it was chaotic this morning at game stores or any store that had this console for sale.  anyways, so 5:30 she calls me to wake me up, and the plan is she was gonna go to target and see how long the line is.  at that time we believed there to be 30-40 wii’s at the targets.  she was like #20 or so.  so she calls me and says shes in safe but people were arriving and that target is 30 minutes away from me.  so i go to the target near me and there was like…75 people.  there was a LOT of people.  then i drove over to toys r us and it was even WORSE.  now, i shouldve just drove 5 minutes out to the nearest EB Games first but it was VERY foggy and dark this morning so i decided to go to target because i thought id be ‘for sure’ gonna get one if they had that many (one of her friends told her all targets had around 25-40 wii’s). okay so because it was this foggy i went over to the mall - big mistake because it looked like this the entire time i was driving until i was literally only meters away from the front of the store where i could see people and light from the store -

okay so thats how dark it was the ENTIRE time i was driving it freaked me out.  a lot of times when no one else was driving it felt like i was just driving into no where. i didnt see any exit signs, any street signs or anything so thankfully tehre are some lights around the mall area in the parking lots or i wouldve missed it.  anyways like i said they were packed.  so i went back to my house and went to the EB Games 5 minutes away from me which was hidden by the fog.  i get there and im the fourth person so i’m thinking omg im actually gonna get one.  okay so i stay there.  and linda is on here way there to meet me because suprise suprise target only has 15!  now its weird because she lives on the other side of town and 4 other people who were in line with her also flew down 30 minutes straight through town to my EB Games as their last hope.  well linda gets there and shes #7 because two people came just before she did.

so EB games doesnt open till 10 a.m. which would explain why less people were going to that one.  actually..i have no idea why people didnt wait at that one because the game stop at the otherside of town had people camp there over night and they also open at 10 a.m.  okay well everyone person who shows up has a different story about how many they heard the store has.  anywhere from 4, 6, 10, 11.  so  i was feeling pretty good because the smallest number was 4 and i was number 4. lol.   basically after the phone call from her saying that shes coming from target, other people fromthere were coming over to the eb games near me too so there was a lot of people driving by and counting to see if they wanted to wait or not.

so while we were waiting i call frankie and told him where i was, and i didnt know that he wanted a nintendo wii (linda needed me there because she wanted to get one for her cousin too, so she actually needed two).  so i asked him did he want one and he said yes (i was suprised causei didnt know he wanted one) so i was like..uhhh…why dont i just get one then, im here anyways.  but then linda’s cousin went to another store to try to get one too so i was like okay im getting one for frankie and linda can still get one for her bf.  so this was exciting except that we werent gonna get one if linda couldnt since i had originally waited in line for her.  so we were hoping that theres 10 and not 4.  well it turns out she was lucky (and me too cause if there was 4 i wouldve given her the one i got) because there was 8.  so yeah i ended up buying one and the rest of the like 15 people who were there went home tired and wii - less.  lol.

anyways so thats my story about how i got a wii this morning lol.  i didnt get any games because i didnt know what games were good yet. so yeah frank and i are trying to look up some stuff about it and see.  i honestly dont know anything about this thing but i just bought it cause frankie said he wanted it.  this other lady said there was something about being able to download and play other nintendo console games on it though but i dont know about that.  anyways i have 30 days to change my mind in case i do.  but we’ll see.  =)

oh and i’m babysitting my cousin’s dog for i think till the end of this week.  here is he standing on my lap:
