You just wanted to save time so you left it on while asleep or something and the time kept running...right? :-D Yeah... let's say that's what happens. Sadly, the truth is, i probably have played for 16 hours since i bought it. I got it on Thursday evening but only got home around 2am. Started playing it right away till about 4 pm, slept s a few hours, woke up, kept playing. i can't stop...

Never played BF4, but i did hear nothing but negativity about it. I might be wrong about Hardline being good, but that's just my opinion about it. It's really something different to me, as a mainly COD player. But this... this is so much fun. It's chaotic. With 64 players on the map, even if the maps are huge it's still so action packed. It really get's crazy at times.

For context, a British teacher was killed a year or two ago (might have been longer) by 2 or three men. her body was taken to the desert and burned. The following day someone found the body while hawk hunting, or something. I know the guy that found the body had a hawk with him. Anyway... I guess their sentence has been replaced with an execution instead. Not really sure if i'm surprised or not. That's surprising considering Qatar doesn't really give a flying [bleep] about how women are treated. You must be confusing Qatar with Saudi, i'm sure. You're right. Qatar doesn't give a shit about you if you're from another country. Especially if you're working there. Boy has the media brainwashed you. The way the locals pronounce it is kind of like Cuttar. Americans usually pronounce it Cutter, and then there's also the ki (more of an uh than an ey) tar.

So i saw some Bloodborne gameplay yesterday, and it's probably the first time i wished i bought a PS4 instead of Xbox One. Game looks pretty amazing. With that said, i'm excited for DS2: Scholar of the First Sin to come out. I never played DS2 back when it came out. It's not that i didn't enjoy it, it's just that i had other interests at the time. But i've been craving some Dark Souls for almost 6 months now so i'll be picking that up as soon as i can.

Absolutely gutted. Finished watching the Semi-Finals between New Zealand and South Africa earlier. We should have had the game. Handed it to them on a silver platter. So many small, but costly mistakes. GGs to NZ though. Their first time in history making it to the Finals. This no smoking thing is also going pretty alright. I am noticing how my smoking was probably 85% habitual rather than addiction. There are so many times during the day i find myself thinking "Damn a cigarette would be good now", but i don't really have a craving for it. Almost 10 days. By far the longest i've gone without smoking in probably 3 or 4 years. When i reach the 21 day mark i'll feel a lot more confident/satisfied/comfortable. It's still a strange feeling. Whenever i used to play games (specifically CoD), after every 2 games or so i would get up and smoke half a cigarette before the next game starts, and 2 games later smoke the rest of it, etc. Now after 2 games i find myself standing up without even thinking, only to realize "You don't smoke anymore!"

8 days not smoking. Today was the first day i didn't wear a patch. Was pretty tough, but i made it. It's also been raining for like 2 days non-stop. The roads are a complete disaster. There are large puddles of water everywhere. I'm too scared to drive with my car because water might come through the doors, and i'm seriously not even exaggerating.

I don't know if it's coincidence or science, but 3 months seems to be the cursed number when it comes to quitting smoking. My parents (the first time they quit) started back up after three months. Two of my friends did the same thing. 3 months without anything and suddenly the next day they were back to half a pack a day. I think i have it very easy though. Not just because of the e-cig, but also because of the meds. I didn't have to quit cold turkey.

Yeah the one i have is fairly simplistic. My dad ordered 4 of them online about a year ago when they started to quit smoking so i kind of just took one that wasn't being used. I know if i open it up and mess around with the insides i can probably change things a bit, but i don't really want to do that. Chances are i might mess it up, and then i'll have to get a new one online (since they don't sell them here). It definitely helps. When i have really bad cravings it eases it a bit. Not a lot, but just enough to make it manageable. That's pretty much all i really need right now. Just ease it enough so i don't give in.

Already have one. It's really not the same at all (for me at least). When i smoked cigarettes they would kind of give me this burning sensation in the back of my throat, which i likes. The e-cig does not. So unless i take really big drags from it, i usually won't even feel/notice it until i exhale. It does help, but it's not like i can just replace real cigarettes with an e-cig and not notice the difference.

So the whole quitting smoking thing lasted for about a day after i posted. Pretty much couldn't fight the craving. Apparently though it is suggested (to make things easier on yourself) to continue smoking for the first week while taking the medication and allow your body to get used it it, etc. Was kind of weird smoking while on the medication. I made me gag a bit, now and then. Gradually though, over the course of last week, i started smoking a bit less every day. Sunday evening i finished my last pack of cigarettes. So it's been just about 2 and a half days since ive had one now. It's not that bad. I use a nicotine patch when i go to bed, so that pretty much eliminates the morning cravings and i'll leave it on pretty much till i shower. I like having it on, because it gives me the illusion that it's helping (even if it's "used up"). The only times i still get really bad cravings are in the afternoon around 4-ish, and probably around 8-ish. But i think i can somewhat deal with them.

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
When i bought my Xbox One is Dec i got Forza 5 as one of the bundle games. Never really bothered installing it since i didn't figure it was something i would enjoy. Yesterday evening though i got a bit bored after studying and decided to give it a go. Found myself sitting behind the screen for about 5 hours customizing cars. Was actually pretty fun.

Not sure how long it's been since i posted. It feels like days. My mouth feels weird. I feel like i want to grind my teeth the whole time. I also feel like i want to go to the maternity ward at the hospital and spend a few minutes punching babies. And god i'm eating so much. I'm gonna be fat within a week if i keep this up.

Decided i was going to try quit smoking. Got medication, patches, gum, e-cigarette, you [bleep]ing name it. Haven't had a cigarette in ~30 hours. The cravings are pretty bad, but not as bad as it would be without everything else. As from what i've heard it's only really the first 2 or 3 weeks that are the hardest. I think i can easily do this though. Won't be using the gum and patches for too long though. Patch doesn't seem to do anything, and the gum just tastes [bleep]ing awful.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Went on a second date with that girl last week. It actually went better than i expected. She called me up and we arranged a date. She also apologized for making me wait so long "but i'll explain when i see you". Not exactly something i wanted to hear, or so i thought. We made a date for the afternoon, and planned on going to the beach. She requested that i pick her up since she didn't know how to get to the beach i planned on going too, and it was pretty long drive by Qatar standards. She also said that we could "talk" before leaving, when i go to pick her up. In my mind i was expecting one of two thing to happen: 1.) She tells me what a great guy i am, but how she's not in the right place to be dating right now. So it's better if we just stay friends. 2.) She tells me that she feels she already loves me, and she's not sure what to do about it. Cocky as it sounds, #2 seems to happen to me a lot. I always seem to find the crazy ones. Surprisingly though, it was neither of the two (kind of). She told me that she doesn't feel like she's in the right place to be dating right now. She's been here almost 2 years, she's never bothered with dating. She's never really bothered with guys in general (here, at least). She didn't expect to be here for as long as she is, which is why. And that's also why she doesn't feel like she's in the right place to be dating. She's not sure how long she's still going to be here, and she doesn't want any emotional ties. BUT (here come the good news), she likes me, and she liked hanging out with me. "I've been behaving myself for long enough now, and i feel like it's time to unwind a bit." I felt like i didn't really need to question that statement. I figured that it would have been the perfect opportunity to vocalize my intentions as well, and i planned on doing it even before she told me what she did. As it were, i didn't have too, since she pretty much covered it. I was pretty shocked, truth be told. I didn't expect this to be the outcome. But i think it worked out well. We never did get to the beach though. Also, on a slightly different note, the crazy girl actually called me 2 days ago. She apologized for her behavior and actually asked me if i was interested in "trying again". At first i thought she was trying to have a laugh, but it seemed like she was actually serious. I asked her why she thought i would even consider it given how our first date went and she replied by telling me she thought she felt a strong sexual connection with me and she wanted to explore it, or see where it goes at least. Again, i was pretty shocked. She suggested that instead of going out for dinner this time, i just go to her house instead. We can cook something, and all i had to do was bring some wine. This is kind of where my confusion starts. Although the first girl pretty much made it clear that she didn't want anything "exclusive" i don't feel right about "seeing" other people. At least not without telling her. But i'm not exactly sure how to open that door, and i don't want to open that door if it's going to lead to something bad. On the one hand i have someone fun. Someone that's easy to converse with, fun to hang out with. We have a few things in common, a lot of the same views on certain things, etc. In terms of looks i'll probably give her a 7.5/10 by my standards. She's cute and pretty, but not hot. I am attracted to her, but not in the "i want to [bleep] you silly" kind of way. The other girl, on the other hand... she's hot. Solid 9/10. Fairly tall, skinny (but not a stick), etc. I definitely feel a lot more of a sexual attraction to her. I just get that sense that she's the kind of girl that likes "kinky" stuff. Not "Shit on my chest and call my by your mothers name" kind of weird, but more like "Oh yeah, harder" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWciXlO5W8o Ideally i'd want a slice of both pies ( ;) ), but i'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want to end up doing something that might [bleep] me both ways in the end. And i pretty much only have 2 days to make a choice, since she asked me to let her know by then. I could always just not bring it up at all, but that kind of feels dishonest. So yeah, not really too sure what to do. On the one hand it's probably stupid of me to even consider giving it another go with the second girl, but for some reason i think we're both on the same page regarding the situation. On the other hand i already know that me and the first girl are on the same page.
