Never had a gameboy or one of those hand held thingies, but I was totally addicted to my daughters DS. Everytime she went to play with it, I had it.

I was a bit too old for Pokemon as well but I remember being home one day, sick with something, and seeing that it was on tv and I watched one episode where jigglypuff sort of sang throughout. I think it was one of the most annoying things I ever saw.

DS are fun. I have a friend whose a huge gamer, has all the handheld systems and all the at home stuff too and I was constantly swiping the DS. But, I kept loosing the little pointer so he took it back.

Sacha

Yep, we've been through a few pointers too

Wayward Melody

You can buy new ones? I wish I'd have known that, I'd have just bought him new ones.

Sacha

Yeah, we got ours from one of those computer/game stores. My daughter is one of those horrible teenagers who wants the latest of everything. She got her DS, and then she saw the DS Lite. Then she saw a pink one, and wanted that instead! Yeah, my credit card was saying "Oh hell no child! Get yerself a damn job"

Wayward Melody

How old is your kid, Sacha?

Chrissy

The last time I played with a gameboy, they still had black and white screens.

I sold my old DS in Brazil because I wanted a DS Lite instead - I sold it there for about twice what the DS Lite costs in Holland because things like that are so much more expensive there, so when I got back home I bought the Lite

we're going swimming in these hot springs in a moment should be nice

Chrissy

I'm so bad with all those game thingies. I never really understood how to play them.

Have fun Val!

Sacha

She's 14. But yay, she's getting a job soon, she's had her first interview a few days ago

Hi, how is everyone today?!
I've been in a wierd, blasé kind of mood today, I've mostly been watching bad tv shows to cheer me up, but I'm quite cheerful now!

Wayward Melody

Oooh, have fun Val. That sounds fantastic.

Awww...a teenager. I so don't envy you. Ah, yay a job. Retail?

I'm doing okay besides sounding awful. I have a horrid cold/flu and sound all husky and have been coughing like mad. Other than that I'm okay. Glad you're cheerful Siobhan.

indigo sunrise

glad you're feeling better Siobhan and I hope your flu goes away soon Mandy!

I don't know what it is but ever since I woke up today, my sight in one eye has been all blurry. I can't even look at the screen right I'm guessing it'll go back to normal once I've taken a shower though, so I'm going to do that in a minute

Wayward Melody

Oooh, hope it clears up hun.

it's gradually getting better, still not completely fine. I keep going "MY VISION IS IMPAIRED, I CANNOT SEEEEE!" in a Dalek voice I'll just shove my contacts in now, maybe that'll magically make it better
