Personal Symbol

I guess something that would have “special” meaning behind it, would be my Xbox. Mostly cause I can’t think of ANYTHING else…

So the story behind my Xbox is that, it was the first expensive thing I ever bought myself, and with my own money. I always wanted an Xbox and I knew my parents were not going to buy me one, so after many months of working and saving up my money, I went and got myself an Xbox, complete with headset, game, extra controller, and controller charger. In the final end the whole thing ended up costing about 600 – 700 dollars, but it was totally worth it. It was the first ever big purchase I had ever done myself and paid for entirely by myself.

I guess in a way, it was sort of like a “start” at becoming an adult, or something along that. The time I got my first credit card and used it and paid it off would be more of a start or follow up to being an adult.

Ever since I got my Xbox, I love it. It is one of my favorite systems; I’m on it every day or very close. I have bought many games for it over the years and take very good care of it. When I found my first scratch on it, I kind of freaked a little… I got over it eventually. My Xbox is about 2 or 3 years old now too I think and still work’s perfectly fine, mind you, I also have a Super Nintendo older than me and that still works too.

Besides being an awesome game console my Xbox has also been a great help to talking with my boyfriend on Xbox live, on mic. My Xbox and the games help me get away from the world on occasion so I can mellow out and not think about things. Blowing something up randomly is always so relaxing (haha) it is just a nice stress reliever.
