I stood in line from 4pm to midnight to get the newest addition to the family, my Wii! I named him Count Six...

It was crazy. Well, that's an exaggeration. I went to Walmart and they only had 20 Wiis, therefore only 20 people were in line. I was number 6.

We got a lot of weird looks. Two girls came out of Walmart carrying big trashcans. While walking quickly, they shout, "Get a life!" as they scurry away. They couldn't have said, "Oh God, Run away!" any clearer. We didn't care, but they thought we were like the crazy Playstation crowd, gonna come beat'em up. Other people would drive by, hanging out of their car, yelling, "Games don't equal love, get a life!" No one moved. We watched them drive by, quite undisturbed.

The constant questioning was starting to get annoying. "What are you in line for?" "Wii." "Oh, Playstation?" "No, Wii." "So you're still in line from a few days ago?" "NO! We're in line for Wii, not Playstation 3." The Sony Wii, Nintendo Playstaion 3, Wii Playstation, Nintendo Sony...They didn't know the difference. After awhile, when people would ask, we'd tell them, "We're just lawnchair fanatics." or "Can't people just loiter around Walmart for fun nowadays?" About that point people would walk away.

It was an adventure, I suppose, for a teenager. We celebrated with champange. X_X Joking, I'm too young...it was only sparkling cider...but it was a special moment anyways!

Count Six and I will be buddies forever! xd
