So today is apparantly the one day of the year i am supposed to hate the most, Maddenoliday. Mike said he read that in a thing on yahoo, that by sometime in the game (s) he will be playing i will want to pack my bags and leave.

I say,
Leaving is for the faint of heart, and for someone who didn't derive pure joy from seeing the huge smile on her boyfriend's face when he realized that he had gotten Madden for "Maddenoliday". I'm not the biggest fan of video games, i will admit it myself. But because mike loves them so much, i don't really mind giving up a few hours for him to be happy. Now, i'm not saying he wouldn't be happy without the games, because he would be. He was completely content for the last 3 weeks living without video games. He did so well that he pretty much deserved to get a wii today, not to mention the game.

so, you are very welcome sir.
