I think your site is really cute and fun to read! The design is bright and fun as well. One suggestion I'd have is to break up your paragraphs so there's actually a line in between each paragraph. With it being a scripty-ish font and a different color than usual, the lack of paragraph spacing makes it a little difficult to read!

I'm not sure if I like the scripty font because of readability but I think the paragraph issue will help a lot! Also try to bold words or italicize a little here or break up paragraphs to ease readability and create emphasis. By break up paragraphs I mean, something like this:
"[this is the end of one of your paragraphs] I once saw him hurl his controller at his sister when she wouldn’t play anymore, thereby messing up his game, and bust her lip open. He lost his gaming privileges for two weeks for that one. The tears and wailing and screaming that followed that edict creeped me out to the max.

Seriously, the kid has to be possessed when he plays that game."

And then later on, you could make "pass on that, thanks." a separate paragraph. Like I said, when not overdone, it can break up the text AND create some extra emphasis to that sentence. :-)

Overall, it's a fun blog! Good job!
