Who is really willing?

I try not to write about the same things over and over but I've come to realize that it's inevitable especially when I'm freeform writing every day. A common topic of mine is writing about the nature of writing, specifically, having writers block. But I don't care about that right now, because right now my knee is shaking, I can't keep my hand still if I hold it out, and my pupils are dilated. I have become physically addicted to the adrenaline that Starcraft II has convinced my brain to force my glands to create.

No wait, let me start at the beginning:
It was a glorious summer day on Rio Vista Drive that fateful Monday, June 20 1983. Scratch that, too far back. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My friend and co-worker Jamelle decided to tell me that he has 2 friends who work for Blizzard, and they have been playing Starcraft II, which is awesome but does not affect me in any way because they are HIS friends and he doesn't even have a beta key. So poop. But then wait, what's this? I come into work one day and he decides to tell me the "Friends and Family" keys have been released! and each employee gets...4! Which again does not affect me at all. *Frowny Face* So I'm patient and I'm patient and eventually I decide that I'll just buy the game when it comes out. But you already know that I got one since the game isn't out yet and I've been playing, hold on I'm getting to that part. Finally my good buddy, my favorite IT guy, the coolest dude in the school emails me and tells me he has 1 extra beta key, but another co-worker and I have to duke it out. So I'm preparing myself for the worst and trying to figure out a fair way to decide who gets it (I was thinking rock paper scissors but my roommate suggests we should play a game of Starcraft 1 and the winner gets it), when all of a sudden I get a response email saying "Kelly can have it" BAM! now there are 2 coolest kids in school. But our story is not over yet, because at a certain point in my playing career I get an email from Blizzard giving me another Beta Key! My cup runneth over! Of course I give it to my friend who let me have the first one because he's awesome. But the entire point of this story is that I just heard a rumor that everyone is getting another Beta Key, so the question becomes: Who wants to give me a BJ?
