Recently, as some of my friends know, I aquired a Xbawx 360 and Halo 3. It was a pain to get the thing hooked up and everything but we eventually got it to work recently and got Xbawx Live for a good three months. Now, I 've played Halo 3 before with my sister but she's usually the one with the microphone and I'm second player so it's like playing a nice, silent game of TF2. Only it's Halo.

Halo 3 is an OK game but I don't see what the big deal is about it... Why people obsess over it, I will never know. Though I do get some kicks out of it even though I suck. Anyway, today I decided to play on my own since my sister is currently out like a light. With the microphone. At first it wasn't TOO bad. Most people would leave me alone and I wouldn't talk. Then these annoying guys came on and I told them to shut up. Worst decision of my life. They weren't mean to me but as soon as they knew I could talk, oh boy. One guy wouldn't be quite. His username was Korey... Something-or-other and he continuelly told me that I suck in several ways (that he probably thought was clever). Which I do. No big deal, I can take a hit. I told him I'm only playing for the fun. Then he figured out I was a girl. He appologised up and down and, quietly, I laughed. When these things happen, I just feel... I don't know. It's funny. But I told him it was ok because I really don't care if people insult me. Sticks and stones my break my bones but words will never hurt me.

After that, he, uh... How do I put this... Started HITTING on me. Telling me all these strange pickup lines (which were rather gross and stuff like that. I told him I've never had loved anyone in that way. He was rather surprised (to be honest, a lot people I meet are surprised I've never hooked up with anyone before) and tried to do what he liked to call "Get me out of my shell" because, apparently, I'm all shut up inside or something along those lines. I swear he talked to me for a hour before he finally left (yeah, I was too nice to leave... I really should have left though... God) and it was the most awkward conversation of. My. Life. He asked me personal questions (some I didn't mind sharing, like the fact that I've never hit on anyone before, but he was asking where I live, what my name was, etc... It was bad) and almost everything he said was very perverted. He was also rather sexist. Kind of irritated me to a level I've never been pushed to before. Normally sexist people don't bother me that much. But this guy... Oh man... But I played nice until he left. Then I was just GLAD because no-one talked to me afterwards.

In short: Xbawx Live is a very strange and rather gross place to be. Especially when all you get (who talk) are people like Korey. There were guys who agreed with him often and swore just as much as he did. I can handle swearing but that was just ridicious. And they say a ton of rascist and perverted things that I wouldn't have dreamed of. I'll probably still play Halo a few times but... I don't think I'm going to talk very much. I've learned my lesson.

Maybe I'm just being a pansy or BAWing about it but it's just how I feel... I can't help it. Oh well.
