This needs to be said. Apparently I've got friends on MSN that think I'm mad at them, or ignoring them, or something. Note that it's not the case. At the beginning of October Cindy and I went out and bought an XBox 360. I got her the Halo 3 for her birthday (Sept. 23) as a hint saying, "Guess what I'm planning to get you for christmas." Well, after my endless research about and talking about Halo 3 and it's reviews and features and whatnot, Cindy exclaimed, "Look! Either you stop talking about Halo 3 or we're going out RIGHT NOW and getting an XBox!" ...
... so we did.

I kinda got my "buying stuff" rights revoked after that purchase, but it's okay.

Well, created my account/gamertag ("UmaKami" btw, in case you had any doubt) and set it up with an online account. Well, I mistakenly set it up to recognize my MSN account as well and signs me in to MSN everytime I sign on my gamertag on the XBox. People started IMing me and I either don't respond at all, take forever to respond, or put myself on invisible. Let me tell y'all. It's not because I have any vendetta against anyone or am being an asshole or anything. It's just that recieving and responding to IMs on the XBox is a pain in the ass. There's no keyboard, so it takes forever to type and it's impossible for me to pause and respond when Cindy and I are playing Co-op or I'm playing an online match.

So in short, I have a hard time IMing folks when I'm on the XBox. I thought it put a message on your guys' friends list next to my name that I'm using the XBox. If not, and you see me appear and then disappear really quick, it's not that I'm avoiding anyone or ignoring you, k?
