Make way for the game nerd!

When I first started to pick up on gaming it was because of Resident Evil 4. If it had been any other game, I probably wouldn't have gotten into it at all... but I managed to hook myself with the most innovative and amazing piece of gaming to have been made... in 2004. (Well, I played it in 2008... and so began the most time-consuming hobby ever.) Because I'm insane and RE4 was so good (and I developed a huge digital crush on Leon [I told you I was insane]) it sucked me in like a 1000-dollar-whore I realized I needed to finish every little nook and cranny of it... including Easy, Medium, Hard, Professional, Separate Ways, Ada's Assignment and The Mercenaries. Um. Holy crap, do NOT get me started on the Mercenaries... but I guess I owe it that particular mode for making my marksman skills so good. (This is when I brush imaginary dust off my shoulder and fake modesty.)
This began a very unhealthy domino effect and ended up with my actually attending midnight releases of games I've waiting for over several years. Like AC:B.
Know what happened today?
I got AC:B.

ha il suo dolore
If you're here, you've somehow managed to stumble across my blog. The word blog makes me think of snooty fashionistas in
New York writing about their later escapades in their pink Mercedes so we'll just call this the place were Ria (yours truly)
can spit out whatever the hell she wants with no responsibility or thought about who she might be offending.
Also, if you're reading this, you might want to know a few things. This is my fifth attempt at successfully keeping a record of my thoughts and doings
- after a few LiveJournals, a former Blog (if you peek around you might find it), and a few paper journals - so, I figure this might be the last chance
I'll give myself to write everyday - if not possible then every other day - about what's going on through my head.
N
o, you're not handcuffed to a chair. You may leave if you will. Go watch porn.
My basic goal with this is to try to flesh out the philosophies, memories, thoughts that make me - me.
Truthfully, I just want to write again. I miss it.
omnes relinquite spes
o vos intrantes
Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
che la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte,
che nel pensier rinuova la paura!
Tant 'e amara che poco è più morte;
ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,
dirò del altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte.
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy. Inferno
and tonight
the stars revolt
