Re: Off Topic 2013

I bought UFC Undisputed 3 from GameStop, earlier.

I shouldn't buy games way before I'm even off work.

He had to go get it from the back and brought it up with it in the plastic and says, "You're in luck, They are all in the plastic still."

So he charges me the used price for the game. I wonder if it was just rewrapped (why would they do that ?) or if it really is just a new game. He had several of them like that in his hands.

That's the shady biz that worries me sometimes. They can open games and rewrap them and sell them again..

I don't know if it is, I can kinda see it...

In other news, I got accepted to grad school and have turned into my father. I am watching golf.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I just realized, kids a little younger than me have mostly grown up in a world where they've never had to wonder who is calling them.

We got Caller ID when I was like 7 or 8, it was always fun before that when the phone rang and I got to answer it. So many possible people it could be! Haha

I hated talking to people on the phone as a kid, still do unless I know them.

I hate talking on the phone even if I do know them. I normally don't answer my phone (or check VMs for the most part.)

It's common for me to not talk on the phone for a month or two at a time.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I still remember my uncle when I was really little and just started answering the phone (idk why but it was a big deal for me to answer the phone when I was little, haha). My dad's side is full of jokers/pranksters, so whenever my uncle would call, he had me convinced that he had some sort of "video camera phone", or some way that he could see me while we were talking. He'd say obvious things about my appearance like "Wow, I really like your shirt Adam, it looks good!" or "Are those new socks, they look nice!"

I'd be blown away like, Whoooaa how can you see me?!

Yeah I enjoy being a guy in the sense that when a friend calls me to do something it's a 2 minute convo, girls it's like 40 minutes of fluff, etc.

lol that reminds me when I was kid, I would always nod or shake my head to answer questions and people on the other end would be like "Hello? are you still there?" lol

I love talking on the phone, it's a very enjoyable activity.

Also, I hate boobs and beer.

Apparently I'm in the minority about not minding phone calls, haha!

I can NOT talk on the phone. I stutter like crazy when talking on the phone. I don't normally stutter, but when I'm on the phone, it's like words go out the window and I can no longer speak the English language.

I communicate best via email for anything heavy. Gives me time to articulate my thoughts.

I also do not enjoy long phone chats... except with my folks. Anyone else I start pacing while I talk.

Re: Off Topic 2013

After all the important information that needed to be talked about has been then I have no desire to further continue the conversation cause frankly I don't care what that person is doing, has done, or will be doing. Unless it's a chick or involves drama concerning people I know.

I've probably never called a family member of mine on my own that wasn't my mom or step dad, probably explains why I never get presents or anything from my step dad's family.
