Girlfriend:I was thinking of giving you a gift. Do you have anything in particular that you wanted?

Me-Thinking:Omg, I can totally sucker her in to buy me FF XII and I'll be saving money for the first time ever.

Me: Yeah you know there is this game that's finally coming out at the end of October that I've been waiting forever to get.

G/F: So what's it called?

Me:Final Fantasy XII

G/F: Oh, so there's a new one of those coming out huh.

Me: Yeap, I think it's coming out on Halloween, and I want it really bad.

G/F: So how much is this game going to cost me?

Me: Well you see there are two versions, the regular one for $49.99 and the limited edition one for $59.99. I really really want the limited edition. It's got a really great metal case and a bonus disc full of stuff, you know how much I love final fantasy.

G/F: Yes, I know. Alright I'll buy it for you.

Me:

G/F: But since it's such an expensive gift, I'll make it your christmas gift for this year.

Me:

Me:But but, I can still play it when it comes out right babe?

G/F: You know how I feel about Christmas, any gift that I get you will be opened up on Christmas day. No earlier no later.

Me: but i've been waiting forever.

G/F: I'll buy you a cheaper game to hold you over until christmas comes.

Yeah as you can see my story writing isn't great, but atleast it's all true. I went and just royally smurfed myself in the ass. If anyone want's to point and laugh at me, you may, as I am an idiot.
:laugh:
OWNED
It's sad that I can identify with this.
Not with a game or anything like that, but I know how you feel.

As for the whole obsessive countdown thing:
I'm laid back and have plenty of other stuff to do so I'm not worked up about it.
