@Wildfire: I occasionally play Minecraft and The Witcher. But I lose interest after like an hour or so. I don't even watch movies a whole lot anymore either. To sit and stare at a screen for over an hour, is really difficult. D:

My niece is super self-aware. We're currently working on selective hearing since she loves repeating things. But when she repeats things and tries to re-tell someone else's story, she has keywords, but no substance. I think all teens have selective hearing though. lol.
"You can't go out."
"You said Go? sweet! see ya later." lmao
@Wildfire: I dealt with a mini panic from my teen last night and my husband and I had to talk her up and out of it. She was sounding like a broken record "I'm doing so good here. I don't want to go. [and repeat that 10 times over]. " :c

I personally stopped playing video games a few years back, I'm more interested in life experiences now. I love meeting new people and just exploring out of my comfort bubble. I miss adventures *Shakes fist at pandemic*
@Wildfire: Thank you for the luck. My niece, when she arrived, didn't think shampoo was good for your hair because of some youtube video, and she had a lot of other things she was trying to argue/defend because of youtube videos and such. Without actual logic, just because other people said something.
So my husband and I were able to get her to think logically about her choices and opinions while she's been here.
She's doing well, keeping up with chores, homework, hygiene, and using downtime for her interests.

I think my kids are old enough, tall enough, to play the Kinect now. I have Just Dance and a Star Wars game and a few other games. C: I hope it'll be fun.
I really wish I could afford a VR headset. lol
@PrincessStarr: I love your avi~ I hope you guys get some bookshelves. and I love having fish, I don't have my fish tank anymore though, during my transition of moving constantly, I set my tank up in my mom's store. Now that I'm settled, she doesn't want me to come get my tank. lol.
What is Lucifer in your house?
@Wildfire: Yeah, Not much we can say or do since we aren't my Niece's guardians, ya know? We did tell my niece that she can write a logical letter to her mom about why she wants to stay here a bit longer. :T

Anyhow, aside from that situation, I'm okay. I think I want to set up my xbox 360 kinect and play some active games this evening. c:
@Wildfire: I didn't get much sleep, that sneaky family drama got heavy.
My sister wants my niece back because she sees she's doing well and thinks it will be okay now.
The way I see it: it's like a cast on a broken arm and because they're healing up, they might as well take the cast off early.
@Wildfire: I'm proud of myself, I dragged my butt out to the garage and got the big bin of dvds. I organized them by genre and shelved them. I found a ton of duplicates and made a decent donation pile. I just don't think DVDs are worth much, nor do people take the time to buy them anymore. :C
I don't imagine i'll find someone to buy my stack of dvds off of me.
@Wildfire: I just moved on to my DVD shelves. lol. .... and now I remember that I have an entire bin in the garage FULL of old DVDs that I put off organizing until later.... craaap.
@Wildfire: yeah, I hope to get some peace today. I'm not holding my breath though.
I did get up and re-arrange and move my books around just now. c: So that feels nice and refreshed.
My 2 bookshelves look so much better now. And my stack of queue-books next to my comfy chair has been tidied up and some put away. so yay. I had too many books stacked up.

@Wildfire: I'm sort of high stressed today still. Dealin' with the aftermath from yesterday. I'm feelin' exhausted.
@PrincessStarr: That makes sense.
We have a narrow hallway that separates two larger/open rooms and i dunno, i can't seem to figure out where I want to stick things or even what our aesthetic is. Plus, we have a garage full of bins that I need to sort out. e.e" but i don't have cabinets or storage to sort those things.
@PrincessStarr: Good job. I really need to re-arrange my spaces. The layout of our new house is a little odd, so our furniture just doesn't feel right. I need change.
