X-Factor

I wonder when people started subsituting X for "cross". But I guess the whole "x-factor" thing really means "cross-factor" because it seems everything I want to say will deal with crosses today.

First and foremost, Chrono Cross. Man I was fortunate enough to be able to play this game yesterday and today, and I am reminded of why it is my favorite game of all time. I'm not quite old enough to have really enjoyed Chrono Trigger, but it is a great game nonetheless. Playing Chrono Cross, surprisingly, brings back some real vivid memories of when I used to play it six or seven years ago. The only real difference now when I am playing it, is that I actually know whats going on instead of just running around and beating the crap out of everything with my super powerful Serge. Also, things seem to be going by much faster this time around because I can get from place to place without having to wonder for an hour about what I am supposed to do next. I am very excited for a little more Chrono Cross action over the next couple days before I start studying! Oh, thanks Kau for lending me the Playstation, haha. I know I said I'd give it back to you the next day but if you don't mind, I guess I have to keep it for another week.

Second cross is the cross in which Jesus died on and rose again three days after. I am always in awe of the reality of it when I think about this event. Honestly, the only reason you're alive today and going about your business and whatever, is because of this significant event of the biggest sacrifice that was ever made. I really can't say much about it because I don't know how to put it into words, you have to experience it for yourself to know.

Last thing dealing with a cross, although not really directly a cross, but there is still a resemblance, is what I seem to perceive myself as. Do you have that screwdriver, the crosshair type one, that you keep somewhere in the storage room that you pull out once in a while to tighten up a screw? It's the one with the cross head because that one is the most universal and can fit many screws. I kind of see myself just like that; very weird, I know, but weird people think of weird things. It seems that many, not all, people only really acknowledge me when they need help with the only thing I am good at; you can go figure for yourself what that might be. I would gladly agree to help because it seems that that is all I can do to make myself of any worth. Then throughout the entire process, things work out, or don't, then I just get thrown back into the toolbox and stored away until needed again. There are seldom very many people that like to talk to you just to see how your day was, or what is going on in your life; that, though, is possibly just because that I am an incredibly one dimensional person, otherwise known as, boring. Then comes the whole "brb, I'm not really going anywhere, but neither is this conversation" business plays out, and I'm left back to where I started. So, that kind of ends my description of me being a screw driver, LOL <_<. I guess the people that I can hold regular conversations with are, automatically, considered "best friends" to me, because there aren't very many of them. And even if they don't completely fit the "best friend" by every detailed definition, I value them a lot because they actually are considerate enough to look past the one stand out "thing" I have and actually ask me about me. Man I sound so selfish and emo. Only two things can help me out of this: Chrono Cross and mini eggs.

Goodluck to everyone with exams over the next two weeks while I climb back into my toolbox.
