BL2 gets a Vita release tomorrow in the UK. Awesome, I can't wait. My laptop can run Borderlands 1, just about, but not 2. I've played and completed the sequel when it was released, but I haven't played the DLC, and the portability is fucking incredible for me, so I will be buying it...
... it's just, fuck - can I afford it? I know it's cheap, but after this month's paycheck being blown on bills almost immediately, I'm not sure if I cam justify the purchase, especially since I just dropped £65 on an iPod. Gemma, however, is giving me the "it's fine, go for it" sentiment, and I know that her daughter will be giving us £100 of the money she owes us, and I know we'll manage, but still... worries, you know?
Today I bought some beer and decided to go for a drink in the park and listen to some Adam Hussein, and as soon as I got there it started pissing down with rain. Story of my life.
Back home now, clearly. The missus has just got back in the same time as me. She took the small ones to see the Lego Movie. I thought of going, but the boy is starting to annoy me. He's violent, even for a six year old. His parents can't halt this behaviour, and it seems exacerbated by my presence; Gem just told me that they were extremely well behaved, and yet every time I'm around the little shit keeps attacking me. Not in an angry way; he likes me, for some reason, but he thinks that punching, kicking and slapping are normal, acceptable things to do, even to an adult. Now, my instinct is to pick him up and throw him out the window, but I'm just an evil cunt.
Some argument has been made to the idea that, because one of his friends has ADHD and does this all the time, he feels it is okay for him to act this way too, but either no-one has explained this to him or he just doesn't care. Either way, I ain't a fan of kids at the best of times, and he's really started to make me not want to be anywhere near him.
I'm not saying this right at all. I mean, I love him like he was my own. But his behaviour is atrocious, and I've started to dislike being near him.
Kids, I know, they get over it, but no. You haven't seen him. He's violent. Far past how a six-year-old should be. And he seems to think it's okay. I love his parents, they're awesome, but for fuck's sake. Shouting at the kid isn't the same as disciplining him.
Hopefully he'll grow out of it, but fuck, I dunno. As a result, this is why I was in the park listening to crappy hip-hop and death metal instead of sitting in a room full of loud-ass kids trying to watch a movie.
Oh, am I a horrible person because of this? I'm a horrible person because of much worse, but I tend to think that I dodged a bullet here.
