NOOOOOOOooooooo!! A gain!?! Woe is me! Oh cruel world, with such...

Anyway, enough of that. Unfortunately, I deserve every ounce of that gain. It probably would have been more, but I did get some really good workouts in. I've been living off of free food for the last few days (marketers bringing stuff in to work). Not sweets or anything, just generally unhealthy stuff. I should have refused, but the cheap bastard inside of me couldn't do it. Now... back to the grind.

I'm starting to get... well, not worried, but anxious about the half marathon. I signed up and paid, so that's taken care of. I start my official training June 1st. The logical thing would have been to train for a 5K, then a 10K, then a 15K, then a half marathon. I'm basically jumping from 5K to half marathon (so much for logic). I'm fairly confident I can deal with the miles, I just don't want to do anything stupid like getting myself injured again and not being able to finish come August 23rd. So, I will try to take it slow and stick to the plan.

No more slacking... I promise... maybe.

Oh, and the nerd inside me is obligated to inform you that Team Fortress 2 is free to play this weekend. BOOYAH!

Lol. Eh, it happens. I'm sure you can manage the 1/2 marathon just fine, Mr. Can't-even-stay-off-injured-foot-as-long-as-he-needs-to. And, um, what is Team Fortress 2 all about? I have not heard my ubernerd boyfriend mention this one.

Don't stress about the weight gain! I read that we flux 5 pounds either way. :) I don't know if saying that helps, but it was my attempt. I love when you attach funny pictures. :) Makes my day.

Oh-Emm-Gee. It's like... PC gaming crack, and it's made by the same company that makes the awesome Half-Life games. It's a goofy multiplayer shooter that happens to amazing. I recommend watching the hilarious "Meet the..." videos to get an idea of what it's about. To play it for free you need to have Steam account (which is also free) so you can download it. You can go to steampowered.com The site says the free weekend starts Thursday, so it might be available now. The super-mega-awesome "Meet the..." videos are on various interwebTubes and at the official site, teamfortress.com/movies.htm

Hmm.. Interesting. I might have to check it out. I like goofy games.

One warning though from a fellow noobie... people have been playing this game for a while so when you first start off it seems slightly impossible, though still fun. It does get much better once you get your bearings.

Hmm.. So it's PvP? I'm at work so I can't look at anything because they've blocked all "gaming" categories. Lol. I usually don't like PvP because of the Internet Dickwad Theory. Thats why I quit WoW. 
21 May 09 by member: Starladesiree
Basically... sort of. I'm kind of confused on how to explain that. When I read PvP I only think of MMOs. But basically... yeah. It's red team vs blue team. It is very much a classic shooter in the vein of Quake or Unreal or Halo multiplayer. If you've never played a FPS game and you just jump in to Team Fortress 2... I'll pray for you. LOL Like I said the learning curve is pretty harsh since the competition is so good (compared to me anyway). But you can't go wrong with FREE! Well, free trial for the weekend anyway.

I think I'd get murdered a thousand times over but.... I'm SO freaking out about Sims 3 which releases June 2nd!!! It's less than 2 weeks away! Yeah, I plugged my game on your Journal after your plug.. so? Wanna fight about it?

TF2 vs. Sims3 It's the thrilla' in vanilla. The rumble with the fungal. Wait... that's not right. 
21 May 09 by member: Divided By Zero
Lmao. Wow... I like some shooters... But I get sick of the whole "you're in some kind of military.. fighting some kind of other military/aliens/terrorists... here's some big guns" plot. It's old. Lol. If there are zombies though I am SO in. I have a zombie obsession. Oooh... Zombie Sims... That would be amazizizizzing! 
21 May 09 by member: Starladesiree
Then you should definitely check out Left 4 Dead (made by the same company). Hooray for zombies! ...I think.

You can tip off your ubernerd boyfriend about some freebie TF2, but if he really likes it he might not move from the computer for the rest of the weekend. I think the first time I played TF2 was the longest I ever stared at a computer screen. Too awesome... can't. stop. playing. LOL 
21 May 09 by member: Divided By Zero
Lol. I told him about it and he said he's played it before so he will probably download it on my computer tonight. Haha. I have my ways of luring him away from the screen if I want to. Loosing 20lbs certainly helped with that method. Hahaha.

lol! I dont play TF2 anymore, I sold it after I beat halflife2. big mistake :(

I'm still wondering about the ghosts in your house... anymore action? While I was reading your journal about them my mail lady drove up & honked really loud 3 times. It really startled me. Oh, yeah,... & as I say this Constantine is on tv. He's a kid on the bus and the people around him are demons, freaky looking ones...it's dark & scary in my big house w/ my hubby 6 hours away...hummm, fun. I have never seen this... I have a feeling that it may not be good to watch alone at night. Sorry to change the subject BTW. I was just curious about "the haunting".

Haha... no, nothing new to report. I don't exactly live in "Ghost Hunters" worthy territory. There are usually years in between anything weird happening. 
22 May 09 by member: Divided By Zero
Awww. That's too bad, well, not for you, I mean... uh...I was hoping something else would happen cause it's kinda fun to hear about. Sorry, that's selfish. Forgive me, but keep us updated too...please... :oD
