Packing is hard.

I'm supposed to be packing so that I can move. It's so hard though. It could be easy. I could haphazardly throw everything into boxes and not go through them until I decide to move again. But I hate doing that. I really want to get rid of stuff I don't use anymore. If I don't, I'll become a hoarder. I don't want to be a crazy hoarder lady afraid people are going to come in my house and steal my old newspapers!

Here is how my days generally go when I'm supposed to be packing.

8:00-9:00 am: Wake up and eat breakfast.


9:00-12:00 pm: Saying I will pack today. Look at internet instead. Play DS as well. Chat with boyfriend online.


12:00-1:00 pm: Decide it is a good time for lunch. Contemplate about five different food choices, pull out food to make a grilled cheese sandwhich, put that food back, make something else instead.


1:00-5:00 pm: Watch cartoons and play Neopets. Yes. I'm an adult that plays Neopets. It's pretty addictive.


5:00-6:00 pm: Figure out dinner. Make the same thing I've had for dinner for the past 3 nights.

6:00-6:30 pm: Man. I smell bad. I wanted to wait until after I packed some things before showering. Maybe being clean will motivate me.


6:30-7:00 pm: Pack like 5 things. Feel accomplished.


7:00-11:00 pm: Sit on the computer thinking about how you should be packing things. Make a blog post about being lazy.


This morning, when I woke up and got on my computer, I stared at my screen and said outloud "Nothing to distract me today! I won't go on the computer! I won't watch cartoons! I'll start packing now!" At which point I glanced to my right and saw my DS. "Ooooooh. Voltorb Flip!"
I played it for an hour.

I'm seriously addicted to Voltorb Flip

In Pokemon Heart Gold/ Soul Silver, there is an addictive game that I can't stop playing. Voltorb Flip. The game is pretty simple. You have a grid of 5 by 5 cards, as well as an additional row of cards at the bottom and a column to the side that tell you what the numbers add up to and how many Voltorbs are in the columns and rows. Basically it is a mix of Minesweeper and Suduko in my mind. Best of all, it's FREE! 

Whenever you win, you go up one level in the game. Whenever you fail, the game decides to randomly drop you down how every many levels it wants (many times you don't drop any levels). Recently I have vowed to stop playing and save whenever I am bumped back down to level 1. 

So far I have over 12 hours of play time in Soul Silver. Only about 6 or 7 hours have been spent not playing Voltorb Flip. 

Every time I decide to stop and save my game, I have a call on my pokegear. I feel like Joey is talking to Ian and  a few other of my friends and they think I need an intervention. Sadly, his attempts at getting me to leave fail because all he ever tells me is that his Rattata is in the top percentile of Rattata. Maybe if you wanted to battle Joey, then I would happily skip to you to beat you for your money. 

But Joey, you've probably leveled up that Rattata 30 levels since I discovered Voltorb Flip. I'd have no chance. I guess I better stay here until I have enough coins to buy everything twice. Maybe three times. Who needs trainer battles when you can just buy items and resell them at the supply store?
