Choice

You wake up to find yourself in a plain, white room, with nothing in it but a table. You stagger to your feet and to the table. On it, is a note and two buttons, a green one with the letter A and a red one with the letter B. You decide to read the note before further action;

“You have been selected for a scientific experiment.

You have two options. Button A unlocks Door A. Button B unlocks Door B. Pressing Button A & B at one time will lock both. Pressing one will lock the other.

Room A isn’t an actual room. It could be described as a small apartment. It has one bedroom, one bathroom, a library and a large central room. It is constantly kept at a temperature of 65F. You will be fed three times a day (your requested meals); drink, alcohol and tobacco-products will be given as requested. You may have any object you want, as long as it is inanimate*. Computers, radios, recorders, and televisions are not allowed. Music-playing devices (that do not give news), non-news based literature, movies and video games will be given at will. Movies include recorded episodes of television shows, but not news-based programs. You will have no human contact. You will request things through a speaker. If you try killing yourself, you will be sedated and the object will be removed.

Everything you do will be recorded, everything you do watched, documented and shown to the public via global TV.

You may leave room A after 20 years.

Room B leads to a small room, with nothing but a small table in it. On the table is a gun, with four bullets.

The choice is yours.”

What do you do?

*If you manage to stay in room A for six months, you will be given a new option. The option for artificial company, the company of clones. These may be clones of anyone; friends, family, celebrities (dead or alive) or fictional characters. You may even describe someone for us. But they have a set personality, and will not alter from it. They may be taught, as long as it does not alter their personality. You may kill them, replace them, or collect them.

It’s called the Deluxe.

So it’s halfway through November, and I’ve not written anything personal or decent since about August. I feel pretty rotten for that – I guess school and the social life got the better of me. And ever since my grandfather passed away, I’ve been feeling glum… I saw him about a week before he passed, while he was unconscious. He didn’t really… look human at that point. I miss him.

So my family is moving. Yup, moving – I’ve never moved – that house has been mine ever since I was born. So this is kind’ve a big change. From the sounds of things right now, my mother and father have found a house design and a lot for it to be built on, both of which they rather love. The reason for this move is because my grandmother… really probably shouldn’t live alone. It’s lonely, and… many other reasons. So she’ll live in her own mother-in-law suite attached to our new house by a little breezeway. :) I think we’re getting this house paid for in straight cash, so hell yeah, no mortgage. For anyone that lives in Augusta and (still) reads this, it should be just over I-20 in Grovetown… I’ll see the exact location over Thanksgiving break.

Otherwise, not much has changed. I did end up picking up a PS3, and I’ve acquired a little over a dozen Blu-rays by now, too (my most recents being WALL-E and Tropic Thunder yesterday). I really love the picture and sound quality… And LittleBigPlanet was a surprise bonus towards purchasing the PS3. I’ve gathered all of the items and survived each stage without dying. XD

I could ramble on for hours about all the little things in life that have occurred… But right now I’m excited for learning the bass guitar. Cody is helping me out and being rather patient, which is great. He lent me his Ibanez bass and an amp, so I’m learning. Slowly, but I’m learning. I’m going to save up and hopefully when I’m better and I have some cash I can get this amber beauty. It’ll be a while, though…

I’ve got a Twitter page now, so if you have one, check up on me!

I wish I had more content to put here, but right now I just feel kinda lacking in the “writing creativity” department. Ah well.
