Note to self:

Unknown Mode + Mushroom Road = Ow.

Although, after the initial battle (and after promptly removing Luke from the party and bringing Natalia back in- the meatshields die too quickly without two healers) it got a hell of a lot easier, and I made it through the entire dungeon just fine. Maybe next time I'll do it with Asch. lololol.

Starting to get into writing again lately. I actually opened up Ghost an wrote a bunch for the next chapter. That only took me what, two years? Ugh, self.

Still not happy. It'd be really nice if people stopped mentioning the concert. Although in a bout of hilariously epic fail, at the college yesterday Tori was talking about not being able to go to an office party thanks to the math exam, and I was only half paying attention since I was doing homework. Tori left to heat up her lunch, and I got a text from Kailey with this:

Remember that she's pissed about not being able to go to a concert because of the math exam

WRONG RECIPIENT THERE KAILEY. Poor thing was so embarrassed. I did appreciate the gesture, though.

As a sidenote sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't be a mod.

Pondering doing an f-list cut, too. Hm. Didn't really accomplish anything with the last one.

The math exam was scheduled for the evening of December 5th.

Same night of the last concert Tanglefoot will ever perform, in Owen Sound.

I can't change the date for my exam. I can't go to the concert.

...there are no words to describe how upset I am right now.

fff so my PS2 harddrive had a complete meltdown today. Tales of the Abyss has been randomly crashing on and off all this week, so I've been thinking there's an issue with it, but it seemed to fix itself the other day so I stopped worrying. Now it won't load at all ~_~ Considering I have no other means of playing TotA, uh. It looks like I'm basically screwed ,-_- Which sucks because not only am I on an important playthrough, but I love the game as much as ever... oi.

Some of the other games work, which is weirding me out. It's kind of ironic, though... to sum things up on my PS2 harddrive's condition as for what works and what doesn't work-

Tales of the Abyss: won't work
Tales of the Abyss (Japanese version): won't work
Okami: won't work
Digital Devil Saga 2: won't work
Tales of Fandom 2: won't work
Persona 4: works fine
Devil Summoner 2: works fine

WHY THE HELL DO THE GAMES I DON'T WANT TO PLAY STILL WORK!?

Harddrive why do you spite me. 8|

/tries reinstalling, sob

Speaking of DDS2, uh... cruxis? Can we talk? :|;;

EDIT: I got TotA to work by using an old burned disc and Swap Magic. The downside?

LOAD TIMES, AUUUUUUUUUUUGH

Okay so... it's winter- it's the end of October. The ground is frozen. It's starting to snow. Every plant and flower in the garden is dead.

And the little gaillardia plant I got in spring has four new buds starting to flower.

HOLY HELL THAT FLOWER IS RESILIENT. Seriously. Damn.

I finally stopped being behind the times and picked up 358/2 Days. My sister and I puzzled over the silliness of the name at the mall. I'm currently on day... 10? I think? Shut up I work at my own pace 8| I like it so far. I think I've really missed playing Kingdom Hearts... I used to love it so much, but it faded for some reason or other. idk, it's weird. I might go back and play the other two at some point, just to get myself back up to speed. And continue to ignore the existence of Chain of Memories because I hate it. |Db KH1 is probably still my favourite, and the one that still chokes me up a bit at certain scenes. Very few games have done that since- I think probably Asch's final scene in TotA is the only one that comes close, and I was spoiled for that beforehand. All of KH was a complete surprise for me, and... yeah.

Kind of annoyed that I'm spoiled rotten for Days, though. -_-; The downside of being a mod and having to do new character applications...

Still kind of boggling at the size of the KH cast at luceti. I've debated the idea of apping someone since... as much as I love Red, he can be so boring ;_; I'll wait and see if this is a phase, though. Midna's still poking the back of my head too, but I can't decide how she'd function without a Link around to harass. She'd probably ride Ammy around for the lulz

...Who the hell is even missing from the KH cast, crikey.

I'M STILL WORKING ON THOSE MEME/QUESTION THINGS, DON'T JUDGE ME.

So I may have been Ebay-scammed for the first time, which... considering how long I've been using Ebay, is actually really surprising. I'm torn between "oh goddammit" and "RAGE" because... idk. It sucks, but it could have been worse, I guess?

It was the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess, which I've been itching to play for months now. And the seller supposedly lives like an hour away from me ;__; I've contacted them, and according to their feedback they've had a couple of people complain about "lost items" (all of which occurred after I had already won the auction, btw, otherwise I'd have bid elsewhere), but someone got a refund, so... I dunno. I'll wait it out a bit. I can't really afford to go out and try to get another one (ignoring the fact that TP is apparently impossible to find here) so looks like I'm stuck with the Youtube playthroughs for the moment. It sucks that like. The ONLY Gamecube playthrough has commentary >:|

If anyone cares about getting a school update, it's going pretty well |D Thus far I've passed all my midterms (even the one I thought I'd fail, I got 82%, what the hell.) and I get my assignments done just fine. Overall it's not much of a challenge, and I know it'll get harder, but I'm cool with it.

I'm probably going to have to get financial aid for next semester, though I haven't decided whether or not I want to try OSAP or something else- or go to my dad again. He said he'd be okay with it when I started, but I feel kind of bad about it ._.; though it's not like he's giving me the money... anyway, something to be dealt with later. I'm not going to stress about it right now.

I'm so glad the planning for luceti's next event is finished |D that monster's been in-progress since August. I hope people have fun with it- the excitement's high now, but you never know how things'll go till it's actually happening.

*ramble ramble blah blah blah*

I feel like I had something else I was going to say earlier, but I've gone and forgotten all about it. -_-; Maybe I'll get on that later.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian people out there |D

I'M DOING THE MEME AND THE QUESTIONS FROM MEGUMI, I SWEAR. But I got distracted with something else... character analysis, woo!

I was sort of iffy on doing this, but after reading Kyio's spiel on Yuri Judith was all "hey it would be nice if you did that for some other people. Hint hint." And re-reading it a few times didn't help any, so here goes.

( On Judith at Luceti: Hopefully this is not as much tl;dr... )

So who's next. |D

Posting this because Eggy told me to.

For Career Strategies class, we had to write a report on the Six Keys to Success, one of them being "facing your fears". This was my section on it:

"Facing your fears can often be a complicated hurdle to overcome, because most people prefer not to acknowledge their fears. The secret to dealing with fear is to recognize it and find the best way to handle it. Everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Simply facing your fears directly doesn’t always work; many require extra help or support in order to deal with it. I prefer to use intangible solutions. Naming your fear is an effective method; in my experience, giving your fear a silly, nonsensical, or unusual name can make the fear seem inconsequential or pointless. For example, if someone is afraid of being alone, naming that fear something strange like “Gilligan” might make the very concept amusing enough to overcome – if you can laugh at your fears, they won’t defeat you."

Yes, I did just reference FFVII for my college project. 8|

RP has made me uber happy this weekend holy hell akai shut up plz so. Stealing some memes from Raaj |D

A. "Has my portrayal of a character(s) changed the way you think of him/her?"

B. Pick one of my characters and I'll answer the following questions about him or her.

1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
3. What do they dream about?
4. What’s their biggest fear?
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
6. What is their fondest memory?
7. What is their worst memory?
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
10. What makes them laugh?
11. What are their religious views?
12. What is their greatest strength?
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?

C. Pick a fandom, any fandom I'm in. I will tell you:

• One True Pairing Ship:
• Canon Ship:
• "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
• "You are one sick puppy" Ship:
• "I dabble a little" Ship:
• "It's like a car crash" Ship:
• "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
• "Makes no canon sense but why the heck not" Ship:
• "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

Ta da. |D

School's slowly getting busier. Midterms approacheth o.o I'm kind of blown away by it. Doesn't help that I've been really, really wanting to play games lately, namely TWILIGHT PRINCESS thanks to Eggy showing me the game while she was here. Midna's epic has been prodding at the back of my mind since Eggy left, and this past week or so (since Egg's been mentioning it on and off) I've finally caved and decided I need to play.

Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me FIND IT ANYWHERE. It's rather rage-inducing. Lacking a Wii, I need the Gamecube version, and it apparently does not exist in Hamilton. >:/ wtf, EB.

As a sidenote: economics is confusing as hell. *shoos it away and stares down the rest of her homework*

Sob, my sleep schedule is so fucked. I'm sorry, Eggy ;_;

Okay so, since I woke up at 5:30am and NO ONE WAS ON, in a fit of boredom I watched a bunch of Crisis Core videos and pondered doing another character analysis. So, here goes:

( I've been meaning to nitpick at Luceti!Zack for a while now... )

Uhhh. Yeah that's all I've got right now. I may write more later |D

I would post about something significant, but. Eh. D|

Icon meme thing Zero told me to do |D



Right here is the story behind it. Long story short, don't roleplay when you're asleep.

Anyway, a friend of mine (star_keziah) was so amused she made me an image and an icon, which I kept because it never ceases to amuse me.



This explains all. Capell's reaction of [D8] was just so perfect, and people have quote icons all over, so I had to make it.

If Eggy hadn't requested it, actually, I probably would've used the one she has for Asch, too. I don't claim to be the best RPers ever, but occasionally I like to think I have flashes of genius. :|



Right here. Why are all my explanations links? >_>; Anyway, this is another thread that I love, and the icon was made close to the end. Guy got his fontech after all |D



Okay, so adult!Simon is gar, and manly, and awesome. But that picture of him just looks so gay. I can just imagine him doing the little handflap and telling the world that life is FAAAAABULOUS, HONEY. So he's Commander Fabulous.



I have a huge fascination with post-series wanderer Simon, as evidenced from Simon's timeskip in Luceti way back when. The spiral eye, his potential to becoming the Spiral Nemesis (another thing I've theorized to death), his roving nature, the spiral staff- I love it all. but old man!Simon is old and icky and not bishi, which kills about 50% of my interest in him. Yes, I am shallow. D| So finding fanart of young Simon with the spiral eye was really, really awesome. He just looks so cute and peppy in that picture (the icon doesn't show it, but he's saluting and with Boota, it's here on Simon's journal), so I had to have it as an icon.



Um... Yoko showing off her tits. What more can be said about it. :|

While sitting at the breakfast table I noticed the city's paper Mom left behind, and saw that the top story of the front cover was about an 87-year-old woman who loves working at Wendy's. So I thought we could try a regional social investigation:

What's on the front cover of your newspaper today?

I'm curious, is all.

I LIED, I FINISHED IT. Sorry for the double post, I wanted a separate entry for this.

This wound up as more of a threesome ship manifesto, oi.

( In which I tl;dr about Zack's relationships )

Back from the cottage for the last time till next May, SOB. The weather was gorgeous. Eggy, I still owe you pictures |D

School starts tomorrow... ehhhh. Hopefully I'll like this course? I'm sort of looking forward to it, anyway. I'm just hoping I can find all my classes and books and shit. The first week is always kind of... um. Busy.

/rambles forever

While I was up at the cottage I wrote an essay on Zack's relationships. It basically turned into the threesome shipper manifesto. It will take forever to type up. Goddamn.

....well, maybe. I'm about halfway done...

OKAY I KNOW I DID THIS MEME LIKE FOREVER AGO

But I remember not answering any questions because I'm a douche like that :c so here it goes again. Please forgive me, sob. ;_;

Give me a character I RP, and I'll tell you:

01. Full name
02. Best friend
03. Sexuality
04. Favorite color
05. Relationship status
06. Ideal mate
07. Turn-ons
08. Last sexual experience
09. Favorite food
10. Crushes
11. Favorite music
12. Biggest fear
13. Biggest fantasy
14. Quirks in bed
15. Bad habits
16. Biggest regret
17. Best kept secrets
18. Last thought
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience
20. Biggest insecurity

I won't be joining the chat anymore; it's too much of a distraction from what I should be doing, particularly during events. It was fun while it lasted.

In the meantime:

Hell is full of burned Pop-Tarts.

That is all.

SIGMUND EJACULATES PEPSI.

DR. LOVE JUST TOOK BILLYBOB TO HIS ROOM FOR THE NIGHT.

OKAY ANYONE WHO HAS RENAMED WHO SEES THIS:

TELL ME WHO THE HELL YOU ARE D8

Seriously, I have no clue who half the people on my f-list are anymore. Fill me in plz.

Anyone who doesn't respond to this and whose name I don't recognize, I'll probably cut. ...Actually on that train of thought, if you actually want to defriend me and are all "OMG DON'T HAET ON ME FOR DEFRIENDING /CRAI" go for it? I guess? fff idk. I just have a huge f-list that hardly ever gets read ;_;

EVERYONE SAY HI TO EGGY TOO. 8D

We went to Wonderland + Pacific Mall today. Feet are sore. Sleep tomorrow. Eeeeexcellent.

So two weeks - two weeks - of calling, bothering, harassing, and finally taking matters into my own hands, UPS finally found my goddamned 360.

( The saga in summary )

Been a while, orz. Akai's Time-of-Woe entry incoming |D

My XBOX 360 got the Red Ring of Death last week, so I sent it in for repairs on Friday. UPS said it would be delivered on Monday. Come Friday morning and it's lost in limbo. I am angry. I want my 360 back. I'm missing IU and SO4 like mad.

Final Fantasy VII has been frustrating the hell out of me lately. Characters, games, fandom, doujinshi, everything in general. I haven't been able to find the game ANYWHERE (which is pissing me off because I had one of the original cases, not the Greatest Hits version, and those are kind of worth a lot if it's in good condition) Crisis Core does nothing for me, my good doujin is lost in the abyss of my old harddrive... I can't even get into fanfiction. What the hell. Half tempted to just dump Zack on hiatus to avoid doing something completely ooc with him but he'd miss too much, especially right now. Damn you and your fast pace, Luceti.

/headdesk

SELF STOP WHINING PLZ?

Though it's kind of entertaining that I've gone back to playing Star Ocean 3 because of the missing FF7. I'm at the Shrine of Kaddan of all places. Maybe this time I'll actually beat it.

....HAHAHAHAHA


-okay shutting up now. *goes back to scanning what is probably the smuttiest Zack/Aerith doujin in existence*

That was a horrible movie.

IT'S EGGY'S BIRTHDAY

EVERYBODY WISH EGGY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY OKAY

SRSLY EVERYBODY DO IT

BECAUSE EGGY IS AWESOME

AND IT'S HER BIRTHDAY

AND SHE'S AWESOME

SO LIKE

BIRTHDAY

EGGY'S FUCKING BIRTHDAY

btw it's Eggy's birthday I think.

SO EVERYONE MAKE AN OMELETTE AND NOM HER BRETHREN OKAY

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.


( blah blah blah )

I'm too lazy to make a real entry |D

*goes back to playing Drakengard 2*

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
