My first time.

I would like to thank everyone who attended the Chicago LAN. I had a great time. I went with Big0ne (my husband) because I thought it’s better than sitting at home and at the very least I could go shopping. Enough about Chicago,
I really wanted to express how my first few days of exposure to Xbox has been. I wanted to get involved and I thought I might try to play a game, learn how to operate the Xbox (I’m not sure I’ll ever get the hang of that thing) and then start to play live in a few weeks. The minute I mentioned my interest in getting involved with this to my husband started working on getting me signed up with an account, getting me a GT (which he had to tell me what that was) a sig (again no idea) and had me playing live that night. The first thing you should know about me is I’m technologically challenged. I traded in my old cell-phone for a new one that has no features and basically lets me receive and make calls. I’m on a first name basis with the IT department at work (they used to have to ask me where I was in the building but now they don’t even ask, they just shake there heads and try to help me). I write about this because it’s going to take a little while to familiarize myself with all of this and if you are unlucky enough for me to accept an invite from you, please be patient (sorry Tait, my first victim). I’m having Xbox anxiety already. To much information to fast. I’ve only been involved with this for 3 days and so far all I think about is playing and looking at the web site. I’ve left work early 2 days in a row so I can go home and practice before my husband gets home from work. This is also my first blog attempt so I’m not sure how long it should be so I’ll rap it up.
Thanks for all the welcome posts, you like me, you really like me . I’m going to get an Xbox for dummies book and make you proud. Or maybe all of this is just a side effect from the Abs (mmm Absinthe ).

(a) yes, I'm high (b) Stryker does not have mustard on his mouth like I do. I'm a sloppy eater, what can i say - chicks digs mustard. (c) funnier than tait? that's a mighty big claim - back it up, Indy boy

This is awesome! You are already getting into character with the whole library thing. Sounds like you are getting sucked in like the rest of us. I cannot believe this is the same girl that we went to Original House of Pancakes with (although I do believe it is the girl that was drunk later that same night). Hope you have fun and good blog first time out. Grim Reaper BTB (you will find that alot of our usernames do not match our gamertags)

Hi Mrs. B! This is Stryker aka Don. I am the guy whose house your husband runs to every three months to play Halo with all the guys here in Indy. Yes, I live 5 minutes away so you don't have to go to Chicago to meet people like Tait. Trust me, I am much funnier and definitely better looking. LOL I tried talking my wife into playing but she can't get past the XBOX LIVE ARCADE games. Oh well, baby steps. :) Welcome aboard!! Don aka Stryker

Welcome! Playing Live was intimidating for me the first few times through, but it's fun.
