the receiving end of awkward

listening to: Silverstein - Always and Never

i really enjoy awkward moments.

i feel like i'm a bit of an awkward person, maybe having to do with me often saying very little but when i do talk i try to say too much.

awkward is more fun when you're not the one in the awkward position, but i pretty much just laugh no matter what it is, just because i find awkward to be funny.

awkward/nervous.  that's where it's at.

i thought of the title for this post today and i decided i had to use it.

here is something i realized today that i never thought about and it was sorta miraculous that it just occurred to me:

"fort" is probably short for "fortress."

i never put that together before today. i was pleased.

i'm considering trying to use only one space between my sentences instead of the two i've used since forever.  is this common?  i have no idea.  it saves space i suppose.  i've been getting in the habit of single spacing sentences when i text message, because character count maximization is key for that.  gotta make the most of those 160. economize.

Seth came over tonight after the soccer game (which went train wreckish) to hang out. it was cool, since seth and i never really hang out.  ever.  but it was fun.  he asked if i ever knew the game Gunstar Heroes for the Sega, and i was like "of course" and it happened to be one of the two games i downloaded on my Wii.  so we beat it in one sitting, using only one continue.  that really is something beacuse it's not a cakewalk game.  i was very pleased.

if i'm not careful i'm going to hurt myself in a soccer game.  when i get too upset with myself for not doing well i hit things.  things that are harder than my fist.  and that's just not going to end well.  i've currently got some marks on my right hand, wrist-ish area, from hitting the wall real hard after i got scored on.  i doesn't hurt as much as it probably should, considering how hard i knew i swung.  oh well.  i always laugh at people who do that kind of thing during sports, because it's so stupid and pointless.  but then i go and do it.  smooth.

oh, and the Left4Dead lan party saturday was great fun!  i like that game.

oh!  Giannii gave me the game World of Goo for Christmas.

it's really fun!

you can get a demo at that link.

when i was in San Francisco for GDC this year I saw the 2 guys that made this game speak.  seemed really cool.  the game is great, buy it.  sadly it's got a piracy rate of like over 80%.  these guys worked hard to make this game and deserve to get paid for it.

i think there was something from yesterday i wanted to mention, but i can't remember what it was...  ah well.  time for sleeping.  it's past 3:30am and i are tired.
