vidya games and my body hates me

[antoj]

today i took photos of the rest of the inFamous things not yet on my site. It will probably be the last update for a while because IDK when I can afford to buy more things. :D

I'm still wondering how I am going to afford some of the new games coming out that I want, but at least one of them is confirmed for October, so I will ask for it for my birthday.

So far the only other games coming out this year that is a 100% sure Day 1 buy for me is the Resistance Vita game (must see how the new studio handles my beloved IP) and Overstrike. look they're both Insomniac related!!!

As for life stuff, not been doing much. I've been playing a lot of video games lately... mostly my Vita and then the Jak & Daxter collection, which has been a blast. There are some missions in that game that make me want to set fire to my PS3 most of which include the horrible vehicles and timers in the games but man... these games make me seriously wonder why I missed out on the PS2 era. Oh, and best yet? There are rumors of a Ratchet & Clank PS3 collection too! I already played through them all on PS2 because Insomniac... but you can bet your bacon I will be playing them again in glorious HD and trophies I am hoping Ratchet: Deadlocked makes it to the collection, but it probably will not since it seems to only include 3 games per collection. Most people didn't like Deadlocked but I actually had a lot of fun with it.

And my Vita? I've still only been playing Lumines! I'm so addicted. I have songs from the levels stuck in my head and I just cannot stop. I want to get all the trophies someday, but it will probably take a while. Still, I got a good amount of them already. I just love trophies too much lately. give me all your platinums, games.

In other news.. I've been kind of sick lately. Not like conventional sick but more like my body hates me and idk why sick. I think its heartburn related but I'm not entirely sure. Basically I can be eating something and then after I swallow it I get this intense pain in my chest. The closest I can compare it to is feeling like I swallowed a bunch of glass. It just is horrible. I barely ate anything for like 2 days because it was so bad, it seems better today, but I felt it earlier while eating a sandwich. :/ I think I need to modify my diet some more but idk what else I can do.

My dad was asking me if it had to do with my vegetarian diet. lol no dad, it doesn't. i mean, i have been eating like this for...4ish years? a while, and this is recent, like this week recent. And introducing meat back into my system after all that time? even WORSE feels. plus meat is disgusting* and i have 0 desire to eat it anymore so GL with that, captain.

*plz note i don't care if you guys all eat meat, is cool by me, but i personally do not. think of me as more of a picky eater than one of those judgmental dbags ok, its accurate to how i feel

uh yea idk my life is feeling like crap and playing games. :D at least games somewhat combat my depression. idk things.

i have been super stressed out lately over homework and i think part of it is that i haven't played any games in over a week. that probably sounds stupid but games help me relax and stop thinking about stuff. ;-; i hardly even have time for LJ at this point

i did pre-order the collector's edition of darksiders II though. it looks so good bro. and mario party 9 came out today and i want it. i just got a horde of new PS3 games though so maybe i shouldn't get new ones for a while.

also i hear you on the meat thing, i only eat certain animals (not sure if i could ever go full veggie thanks to my eating habits, but beast boy might make me do it one day). so my dad will not leave me alone about it, he acts like a five year old telling me how stupid that is. i also learned he thinks vegetarians are childish which is the dumbest thing ever. if anything i admire veggie people.

yea i've been stressed about other things in general... but luckily the stuff that worries me doesn't really eat into my free time so i can just vidya games all the time @__@

haha there is still a few games I want that are out/coming out but the two I listed are the main ones I want no matter what... the others I still do but my budget is so tight I can't justify it. Besides, I still have 2 vita games and a few ps3 games I can play for now. and work on platinum for jak collection

yeah i stopped eating meat mostly because i didn't really like it. there are other benefits to it too, obviously, but meat is just something i seriously do not want to eat ever again. i don't miss it at all. honestly i should probably cut most dairy out of my diet too because it doesn't do well on my sensitive digestive system but i love it too much and i cannot stop. though some of it has made me feel sick enough now that i don't really desire to eat it anymore either (see: most egg products) so idk. My dad has a sensitive stomach too which is why he thinks HE KNOWS WHATS BEST!1!! for me but srsly, throwing meat in my system now would just ALL SYSTEMS FAILURE for real.

Re: dairy products

Have you tried scaling it back for a few months? I used to get sick whenever I ate any dairy products other than a single slice of cheese. I quit eating the foods that made me sick for a few months, and it has gotten much better since then. I can now eat ice cream, yogurt, cheese sauce, milkshakes, etc in moderation. (For a while I could even eat mac & cheese, though I got too excited and went overboard and now I can't eat it anymore.)

Games are the best, man. I have been feeling kind of under the weather lately, so I've been playing through Fire Emblem for the umpteenth time. I also borrowed Shadow of the Colossus from a friend, though I am really, really bad at it.

There are way too many games coming out that I want this year. Black 2/White 2, Nobunaga's Ambition, the new Animal Crossing game, Fire Emblem 3DS (assuming it comes to the US before 2013), Tales of Graces, maybe TotA for the 3DS because I love that game... Stupid 3DS, why did you get me back into handheld gaming?

I'm so used to buying one, maybe two used games per year--due to hating most Wii and DS titles--that I didn't even think about how I will afford all of these. I'll figure something out, hopefully.

Basically I can be eating something and then after I swallow it I get this intense pain in my chest.
This used to happen to me in jr. high. Mine felt more like my throat was on fire than like I swallowed glass, but yeah. :( I can't remember what I did to fix it, aside from figuring out which foods were the problem and cutting them from my diet. I think cheese was one of the culprits.

If you did try introducing meat back into your diet recently, that could be the cause. Some foods make me sick if I haven't eaten them in months.

I hear you on the meat thing. I like white meat, but I can't stand beef, pork, or certain kinds of fish (like salmon). My mom always asks me if I want to try a bite of her steak or ribs and I'm like "ew, no, that's disgusting". The main problem with vegetarian diets is that it's easy to shortchange yourself on vitamins and minerals, but I assume you've got that covered if you've been doing this for 4 years.

replaying the games youve played a bunch is so fun though. :( I keep replaying my same games instead of playing my new ones too... I am not sure why.

Oh there is more coming out this year that I want, but those are the only ones I will go out of my way to make sure I can get them on day 1. :'D The rest of them I could wait a bit. Last year was worse for me in terms of NEED THESE RIGHT NOW OMG bcuz it was all my favorite series it seemed like. :I

LOL I am the opposite! This is the curse of playing mostly on my ps3 I suppose... Though now with my Vita it's adding more games that I want too. HOW DO I COPE?!

Oh no I didn't add meat back into my diet. I am sure I'd be a lot worse off if I did that. |: My dad was suggesting it because he thought it might have been the issue? But no, not eating something for a while and then suddenly eating it again is just bad.

I'm sure I am not the most healthy, but I try to keep a balanced diet the best I can anyway. At least, I am not dead? :'D

NOT SURE but old wives tale says that drinking milk can calm hearburn?

Not 100% accurate, though :X

Anyways, hope ya get better!

And you make me want to play games again ;___;

Actually dairy can help heartburn, but in my case dairy products make me feel sick too...so its not very helpful. I can eat about a handful of tums and it KIND OF helps, but otherwise I don't know. :|

and maybe you should. :D:D:D:D

There was this one time, while I was still working at the pound that my chest hurt so bad that I thought I was having a heart attack. Like you had described, it felt like I had swallowed glass. My one boss handed me a Pepsi and told me to drink it. Within minutes, I began to burp and the pain went away. Apparently, I had really bad gas and that was all...O_o

If your problem is heartburn related, lying on your left side with your head partially elevated can help relieve the pain. As for your non-meat eating life style, in ways I envy you. I wish I could give up meat, but I have been a meat eater for to long. The older I have gotten, the less I seem to like chicken though. Fish seems to be my main meat of choice now days, especially sushi.

I hope you feel better soon and I am glad that you are having fun playing your video games. I'm still playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I probably would of been further by now, but I have had a lot on my plate...;_;

[antoj.livejournal.com]

That's lucky it was all it was for you. ;-; It happens to me when I swallow food specifically, depending... I am still not entirely sure what the cause is but it isn't so bad that everything I eat is doing it now, which is good.

Yeah I've heard that before too. My dad has a lot of the issues I have honestly. I do have two pillows on my bed and sleep on my left side usually by default (even if i don't want to because of my bad arm lol) but yeah... haha yeah that's kind of what I did with meat anyway. I didn't like it anymore so I was just like WHATEVER BYE MEAT... and yeah, i don't miss it. The only times I do is when I feel put out because of it, like when people make a big deal out of what foods they can eat because I'm around or w/e. I DUNNO.

video games are too fun. ;-; i cannot stop. I hope you are having fun with Mystery Dungeon though. :D

[pheonixxfoxx.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was fortune but it was scarey at the time! I'm glad that not everything you eat is causing the problem. Still if it persists, get yourself to the doctor. Though, I am not sure what your insurance situation is?! I know you had to pay out of pocket for the surgery...:\

I have a hard time falling asleep on my left side, but if I turn to my right side I am out like a light within minutes normally. The reason I think I am tired of chicken is, the adult home served it constantly. Unless it is Chick-Fil-A, now if it is KFC even the thought makes me sick! I would not feel put out, we all have different tastes when it comes to food after all. Me, I have never liked onions or peppers. Not really sure why?!

Indeed they are, I just wish I had more time to play them. My life was never this busy before. Everything has just hit all at once. After Rodney's parents visit in the end of April, beginning of May things should quiet down again.

*knocks on wood*

I am enjoying Mystery Dungeon, I named the Treecko that follows me "Rodney." So, when I play at Rodney's apartment I tell him what he is going int he game...XD

[antoj.livejournal.com]

Yeah I don't have insurance. Doctor visits are something I save for serious issues, like the one I had surgery for. Otherwise... yeah. especially now, I have barely any kind of budget. A doctor visit is a no go. ._.

Ah yes! That can definitely do it. And yeah, I am not sure why some people get all OH BUT YOURE HERE IDK WHAT WE CAN EAT/WHERE TO GO EAT/etc and its like, I dunno. I don't want special treatment. :I It's my problem and I can figure out what to eat when it comes down to it. It just makes me feel weird when people make comments like that... or if they ask if I'm one of "those" people when they find out. Those extremists (PETA, and the like) kind of ruined it for a lot of us, and now people assume I am one of them first off. :| I feel like I need to disclaimer that before people get defensive against my diet choices. It affects no one but me! :(

Yeah I can see that. Well, after everything settles down it'll be fun to relax a bit with it right? :D

[pheonixxfoxx.livejournal.com]

That is what I thought...;_; I understand, but have you thought about getting insurance?! I'm not sure how much health insurance runs now days?! More then likely, it costs and arm and a leg like everything else...:\

Well, if I go out to eat with someone I will ask if "xyz" is fine with them first. Though, I don't say, "Well, I know you don't eat this, so I don't know what you will eat if we go there?!" Most restaurants now days, have such a good variety on their menus, that everyone is usually left satisfied. Though, for some reason Rodney does not like Olive Garden?! I have never eaten their myself...

PETA gives all animal loves a bad reputation. Not every vegetarian or animal love is associated with that group of whacked out nutcases! >:(

Again, or differences make the world go round! Whatever we choose to eat, is or choice after all...;)

My surgery will be at 1:30pm, that means I have go go over 12 hours without food and water...;_; I so can't wait to get this over with, then it will be hours of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon...XD
