Just wanted to make a post and keep anyone reading this updated. Today I got up feeling pretty sore but this didn't stop me from playing my Wii again. It's far too addicting to choose not to play when I have the opportunity to. Since my sister was at school, obviously, I decided to take the opportunity to enjoy my Bleach game. The day before I was really "sucking it up" and losing horribly no matter how hard I tried. Of course I was feeling a bit awkward because even though Leighanna told me we could switch to that game and play it, she didn't want to play till I figured it out and she didn't like it from what she saw based on my horrible experience and her not playing made me feel like I was hogging the game and I wanted her to get to play on the Wii too. Since today I didn't have to worry about that I played on training mode and worked on figuring out everything individually without being attacked. That went well and I went on to battles. I still sucked. I eventually found a difficulty setting and changed it from Normal to Easy. Sure, call me a wimp, but at least now I can do something and actually get used to the game mechanics before eventually bumping it back up. About 11:00ish I turned off the game and took a bath so the hot water could soak my sore muscles. It worked really well to relieve the pain. I was so glad because it allowed me to go right back to playing.
Around 3:40 I retrieved my second controller, expecting to play Naruto with my sister when she got home from school. I hadn't expected her to be a little late. My other sister, Lindsay had picked her up from school because she had some kind of practice for band I believe. I was in the middle of playing Bleach when the arrived so instead of finishing the game off, I just paused and talked to her and her boyfriend, Eli. I didn't really want to look like I was ignoring people by playing on the game, plus it game me time to let my muscles recover a bit from playing. About 20 minutes later my dad arrived to help haul out Lindsay's bed and they gathered some other things belonging to her. We had recently been having some strife over whether Lindsay would get to have our Gamecube since I bought a Wii. We really didn't want to give it to her since it did belong to me and Leighanna as well. We had some arguments about it that I really prefer not to get into as it's a bit confusing anyway. In all if it, it turns out Eli bought Lindsay a Gamecube of her own so we get to keep ours. Of course this means she yet again gets everything she wants, but at least we no longer have to fight over something so trivial.
The whole time they were here they were all pleasant and despite my irritability and uneasiness of them being there, I remained pleasant as though I had no problem with them. The last thing I wanna do is start an unnecessary fight. We have enough of that recently as it is. They did not stay long and I was able to go back to my game. Leighanna seemed fine with watching me play Bleach for awhile. I was glad of this as I was having fun now that I figured out how to play it fairly well. She asked me a few times to play some certain characters and also asked me questions about the show as she has never watched it. I like it when she asks me questions about things I am interested in. It makes me feel good. I do hope someday she may actually watch Bleach with me. I think she would really like it if she gave it a chance although I would never force it on her or try to beg her if she doesn't want to. Although I might keep talking to her about it until it hopefully sounds interesting enough to her that she might do so. Her having not watched it is why she doesn't want to play. She knows nothing about it and therefore it isn't as much fun for her because she does not understand it like I do. I understand what she means by that though. I know I'd have felt the same playing the Naruto game if I had never watched the show with her months before.
I didn't play Bleach for too long, I didn't want to keep Leighanna waiting to play for long, plus, I wanted to play Naruto with her anyway. It's so much more fun when we play it together than it is playing alone. We've practically unlocked everything already, at least everything I know of aside from 2-player survival mode which I learned about tonight. I will try to unlock this either Wednesday or Thursday. I have to get through 1-player survival with at least 30 wins in order to do so and my best is 18 so I have a challenge ahead of me. My likely bets are to either use Temari or Orochimaru to accomplish this as they are my best characters.
The more I play this game I have found I am able to play for longer amounts of time before needing a break. At first I needed a break after almost every single player mode I did where Leighanna and I switched off so we could rest. I could also sometimes survive two multiplayer challenges before letting her do a single match. Now I just have dull pain in my shoulders. I'm sure I will soon be able to play this game any time and for any length of time without it phasing me or phasing me only a very little bit. It hurts, but the Wii is so much fun to play and I often play through the pain. Which may or may not be such a good thing.
Tonight Leighanna and I mostly worked on playing characters we hadn't played before and working to get better at them. I tried playing some of her favorites while she in turn played some of my favorites. I think we discovered we are not good at each other's characters aside from a few that we were both good at. I did still tire some tonight so I let my sister play a single match. I almost let her play two. I would have but she had an idea of something she wanted to do which I do not recall what it might have been at the moment. It coulda been another multiplayer match. Probably the one where we switched characters and she played my character, Orochimaru, and I played hers, Gaara. I was fairly good at playing Gaara and I think she rocked playing Orochimaru. Though she voiced she still liked playing her characters better. Suits me fine, I like playing Orochimaru.
I'm kinda sad really. Because tomorrow I won't get to play my Wii for a good majority of the day. At least I should get to play it in the evening. If not, I will at least get to play on Wednesday although all day I will have to play alone as Leighanna and my mom will not be home till late as usual. It might be a good day to play alot of Bleach or try that single player survival mode to unlock the two-player survival. Either way I'm sure I'll have fun. I know it won't be as much fun as if Leighanna was there but I'll have to just deal. I also hope that someday soon I get to play the Wii with my mom. I don't think she has gotten to play it since I bought it. This makes me sad I sure hope she is not angry with me. I know she likely feels left out and we have a Nancy Dree game to play on it. I'm certainly not trying to exclude her. I love playing games with her but she doesn't always have the time. Though she is down alot. I think if she could find time to set aside for playing a game it could lift her mood a bit. I know my mood has been better since I've become more active by playing the Wii. Although I understand being in such a poor mood as to not be very interested in playing games. I really hope my mom begins to feel better soon.
Well I think that's all I know today. Goodnight everyone.
