It's too fucking hot. I hate the heat. I can't concentrate and everyone gets grouchy and there's no relief in this apartment. The building holds in heat and there's no air conditioning, not to mention that the mentally retarded owner had the HEAT ON all day yesterday, even though it was high-summer weather. Nngh. It just makes me want to do nothing. D: usually when I feel like that I draw, but it's hard to draw when my palm sticks to the surface of the tablet.

As I mentioned here I'm some kind of crazy person and am pretty much drowning myself in everything Megaten. It's a few years overdue though, so I'm not surprised that I've finally snapped. Playing Shin Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax, Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Persona 3 off and on at the same time, watching Persona -trinity soul- and doing my usual fandom fanart hunt. This NICE SUNSHINY DAY has put a damper on my activities, though.

This is totally me.

Not being able to use SAI is actually starting to stress me out. Ugh.

Something... weird just happened. I closed Firefox and my computer froze, and when I restarted it almost everything I had in Firefox was missing. I reinstalled it and am now adding them back (important quick-bookmarks, delicious), but... weird.

Sorry about the random missing words from my journal before, I... uh, wasn't completely there when I wrote it. I'm mostly better now, but I still feel tired. I hate how being sick does that to you, even when you're basically feeling fine.

I'm a decent ways further in Nocturne now. Thor punching Isamu's lights out was more funny than probably it should have been, especially being the first time you see him since the beginning of the game. And I beat Dante... mom was watching, and rooting me on in the weirdest way, since she doesn't really comprehend RPGs that well. At one point she was like "Heal yourself?" and my party was pretty much fine, lol. Man, it feels so good to sit down and just let myself play a game for a few hours like this. My mood's been generally brighter.

Fuck though, I hate myself for liking Hitoshura so much, because his markings are a nightmare. I started a tegaki of him (and Inugami <3) when I was sick and safety saved it because I couldn't concentrate anymore, LOL. I'm glad I drew it on the Japanese tegaki. I also got this far in a second try in OC4 before taking a break. I really fuss over being clean and sticking true to designs, so his markings are a bitch because I want to get them perfect. Oh well, I still love you, Hitoshura. You're so shinnyyy.

Oh, and yesterday I found art that had been copied from something I recognized, a Pit fanart by one of my favourite Mother 3 artists. When I reported it my report was deemed invalid, which is ridiculous considering how blatant it is. The deviation's here, and this one's the original. I linked dA to the url on the artist's website, though. Anyway, how awful is that? The girl basically copied the whole thing and changed his expression and a few colours, and added feet, and this isn't considered theft or no permission? So much for doing a good deed. She reacted badly to me too, but I expected that, even though I approached her nicely about it. She tried to sound like she "changed most of it" and that that magically made it original. Oookay.

Also, I now own Professor Layton and the Curious Village, even if it's not in my hands yet! Yay for late birthday presents.

I'm sick. D: My nasals really hurt yesterday, but at least today was mostly snot'n'sniffles, and my throat is a lot less dry. Those Advil Cold & Sinus pills really do the trick. I usually don't like to take medicine, but sometimes even I want a little relief. D:

I'm 7 or 8 hours into Nocturne now. I got brutally raped for the first time, by Matador, and went back there to try and train, and was brutally raped again by a random encounter. It was kind of hilarious... I can see where people get off talking about the difficulty level now! I trained a few levels and stopped for the day after that. It's really nice to sit down and play a game for a couple of hours, I haven't been giving myself the chance to do that enough. I'm a gamer at heart, I need it! ;A;

Getting the sad news out of the way, I think I mentioned that my uncle was in the hospital. He apparently passed away this morning. My only regret is that I didn't know him very well, but that wasn't really my fault... he wasn't around much. What I do remember of him was warm and friendly, though. Always giving gifts even if he barely knew me. Goodbye, uncle Billy.

I couldn't resist any longer, so I started SMT III: Nocturne. I didn't play that long, but I like it a lot already from what little I played. I'm glad that it has the same view control as Persona 3, combined with what little I did play of Shin Megami Tensei, only a lot less basic. The demons are really cute. I broke into a bit of a giggle fit because of the Kodamas, and Pixie is pretty adorable. The flow of the graphics, music, battles and scenes is just great. I can tell this is likely going to become one of my favourite games. lol, I named Hitoshura Hirokazu "HIP" Tanaka. I feel like such a crumby Megaten fan for being so interested in it for so long without really doing anything about it. At least I'm trying to fix that now.

And on a whim, I checked up on Gemini's Persona 2: Innocent Sin translation project and was surprised to see that it had picked up again, and even has a blog much like Mother 3's. It seems to be going along really nicely. I'm really excited to play it, not just because of the canon gay, but... well, that is a big part, I guess! I just love Kaneko's art and character designs so much. lol, I like how this is in the FAQ:

"8. Is Jun gay?
Sure like hell. And yeah, you can make Tatsuya gay as well."

Well, yeah. I think anyone who's interested in the game would've known that that and Hitler were the main reasons speculated for the game not being localized. >_> Anyway, if his ToP patch says anything, Gemini does really nice work. Having two fan-translations to look forward to makes the wait a little easier!

Man, this has been the best week ever. MOTHER 2 placed #1 in Nintendo Power's VC most wanted poll, which I pretty much expected, but I was surprised to see MOTHER in #4, beating out Majora's Mask (My other picks were Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Snowboard Kids). That really made my day Wednesday, and then pyronique came along and surprised me with pretty Ness giftart. It really was the best day ever. Earlier, I went out for gyoza with mom and watched a dance festival that my brother was performing in. There was this adorable boy/boy pair in a square dance that completely reminded me of Jeff/Tony, so much that it inspired a drawing idea in memory of those two. shhfjgs, they were the cutest little gay boys ever. The Tony even had a Tony hat!

Then, of course, there's the news of EarthBound being rated E for Everyone by ESRB for the Wii, which can only mean one thing; that we've finally gotten the VC release that we've been waiting for! As exciting as it was to find out, I also find it a little funny. It's totally obvious that we provoked Nintendo of America into this. I would probably shit my pants laughing if it was released this Monday.

I can't forget that ludwiggykoopa bought me killer7, so I'll soon have that, too. After he's done playing through it because he lent his to someone and he has to wait for his mother to mail it with her magical discount powers.

While I'm at it, I have to shout out to telluryan, who is a wonderful new MOTHER recruit. She basically loves everything that I do, so we're like MOTHER twins.

I kind of want to enter PK Tube'N, but I'm not sure if I have the time to get an entry together. That and I have no experience setting pictures to music. It sounds easy enough, but who knows, right? Wouldn't want to put work into a bunch of pretty, emotional pictures to find out that I suck too much ass to put it all together. Hmmm. I really want the Red Ultimate Chimera shirt or the EB Anthology, though.

Happy 2nd anniversary, MOTHER 3! And also, a very happy birthday to ludwiggykoopa. My anniversary pic, which couples as a birthday present for Wiggy, will be a little late, thanks to me not having SAI and having to get used to Photoshop... since it's the only program I have with a fine enough pen for me. SPOILER ALERT, here's the progress. The sketch started in OC, which is why the lines start looking more detailed once you get to Lucas. I've neglected to draw this scene until now, because I knew it would be hard. Unsurprisingly, I started to tear up once I got to Lucas. Of course, I'm listening to nothing but music that relates to this as I work on it. Hopefully I'll get it finished tomorrow, or the day after. Try not to bug me too much and let me finish it, okay?

Comment with something that you like about yourself and I will reply with what I like about you!

Whoever posted this makes me very sad for not having posted the mp3s. I don't have the money to buy these albums right now, and I want an mp3 of this song. D: at least I finally found out where that short sample I had of this song was from. I've been obsessed with it for like a year. orz also, the rate at which I'm becoming more and more obsessed with Porky is a little alarming.

I finally beat Apollo Justice, still going with Phantom Hourglass. I just finished the ice dungeon. Fuck Anouki are like.. the cutest kind of ugly game creature after Mr. Saturn. I want to draw some. Apollo Justice in general left me with a good feeling, but there is something missing compared to the first trilogy... but, it's the same with Pokemon RSE/DP VS GSC, FF VII and on (excluding IX) VS VI+IX and before, so, no big deal. Happens all the time. Phantom Hourglass is also kind of like that in the way that the extra stuff feels too... thrown in your face. Too easy? Where did my heart pieces go?

I still really, really want to start Nocturne but I know I have to finish Persona 3 first. I just, it's so annoying having the PS2 in that room. When I finally want to play, it's always too late because dad has to go to sleep. I need to learn how to feel like playing games in the middle of the day. Usually I'm too busy making fun of shit on TV and the computer with mom in the living room.

Also, if anyone still hasn't seen this, watch it and I promise you'll never want to eat at McDonald's again:


Seriously, scarier than Gyiyg. *curls up and dies*... But for some reason I keep watching it. It's really amazing, just.. terrifying!

Oh shit, I just realized that I only have 15 days to make a super special awesome 2nd anniversary pic for Mother 3.

Hello, LJ. It's been a while. I'm behiiiind... sorry, sorry!

Brawled over Wi-fi with Clay at Nick's house yesterday. The lag is... interesting. It wasn't really bad, especially considering half-way around the world-ish distance, but it required a weird sort of plan half-a-second ahead strategy. I learned that I should not use Bowser on New Pork City, and I hate Spear Pillar and it's making me feel funky faggotry! I'm also a lot better with Marth than I was in Melee, and just a lot better at Brawl in general. So far the rankings seem to be... Lucas, Ness, Marth, Ike, then Bowser. Still trying to get a grasp on Brawl Bowser, considering he was just above Ness as my main in Melee, but the subtle changes are harder to get the hang of. Especially that claw. But his Up+B is sooo much better. Nick threw some Scott Pilgrim comics at me to read as I was leaving. They're pretty awesome.

You know, looping Final Destination from SSBB is a great way to get the Sword of Kings in Mother 2. No, really! It makes the quest much less boring. It's worked nicely twice, now. Uh, yeah... I started playing again right after I finished last time. Bad, I know.

I was going to update with more, but I got lazy. Tomorrow!

I haven't been updating enough again. I'm a little behind. I'm dealin'!

Got me one of those tegaki blogs~

So, my brother wasn't feeling well a couple of days ago. I tended to him, handed it over to mom when he claimed she was "better with that kind of thing" (ohho! and all seemed to be well, so I went back to juggling drawing and a nice game of Mother 2. Then, once he's in bed again, and I was amusing going through Belch's factory at the time, Johnny runs into the bathroom, suddenly pukes the mother of all pukes and apparently slips and falls in it as well. It was SO GROSS, and I didn't even see it myself. I tried to blast loud music and ignore it, and eventually went back to playing when I was sure I wasn't going to hear anything else.

I really really hoped I wouldn't get sick. I passed off my nausea that evening as regular paranoia, but, low and behold... I woke up yesterday at 7 in the morning and had a... very unpleasant time in the bathroom. Much worse than Johnny's, even though I didn't make a mess and ruin two good towels. Urk, I haven't thrown up in a long time. I hate how you forget just how terrible it feels until you do again. Then, thankfully, you forget shortly after... Well, it wasn't so bad. After an hour and a half nothing else happened, and was able to eat later in the day, and I was fine all today. Man, 24-hour flus! What a rush.

Look who has $60 dollars. I have $60 dollars! A sparkly red $50 and a handful of toonies. This may not seem very significant to you, but it's a special $60. Fuck if I ever have to deal with Leah again I'd rather kill myself. Oooh... hey. Now I can be an ass to her without consequence. Sweeheheeet. I'm gonna go out and get Apollo Justice! And not be so behind everyone this time. I'm really not ready to adapt to the English names, though. I might not be able to put up with it this arc, since I completely started with the Japanese ones. Hnghh, Takita. D:

I hate rainbowshell and all you others that've made me start playing Mother 2 again, even though I just beat it. I hate you guys, seriouslay. Especially Kenny. I'm stil half-way through this Mother 3 file, too! adgdhfgs

I LIKE INVENTIVE MEMES. Puri knows why Poo's there.

I've been playing Final Fantasy III again, since for some reason I took it with me even though I haven't played it in almost a year. I actually managed to figure out what I was doing and get myself unstuck, and now I've progressed a bit more. I'll beat it eventually.. it's just one of those games you have to pick at. Odin is still being a bitch though, Refia still can't steal the damn lance from him and she's level 63 now.

Since I got Rockman Zero (again) from Wiggy, I've been playing it a bit too, trying to get at least an A rank on every mission. So far I've only made it through the first 3 with A ranks, and I haven't managed to get any S's. Almost did, but god is it so hard not to get hit once. Crrraaazy. That game is crazy hard. But I refuse to see that ugly D-C rank. Nooo! My gamer heart just can't take it. I actually haven't played 2-4 at all, so I have to get those too.

Geoff took me to Pink Godzilla, a retro/import gaming store. It was really small and cute, and packed with lots of awesome stuff. I almost missed it, but I lit up when I noticed the Mother box displayed in the front counter. Fuck yeah it was so awesome.

We went out for Japanese last night. Actually, to be honest it was my first time really going out for Japanese. It was really good! I kind of gagged on the unagi I tried, but it was more the texture than the taste.. I still ate most of one, though. The miso soup tasted funny, and tofu is weeeird. I got breaded chicken katsu myself, and ate maybe half of the calamari appetizer. Violet wouldn't eat the octopus-shaped ones, so I ate those >_> It was weird, actually. Apparently there was unagi on the dragon rolls that her friend got, that she gave me one of before telling me there was eel on it.. I didn't have trouble eating that. I think I let mine go too cold before trying them. XD though, those had prawns too. Either way, Japanese food is definitely good. I had Indian at lunch with Geoff and his parents too, and I hadn't had that before either. It was also really good! Though I mostly ate rice and the dish that had potatoes in it, but I tried the other stuff. We had Red Mill for dinner tonight. It was really good! I even held my Canadian and general Jean-ness back by not asking for gravy or a knife and fork. Because I knew by one look at the menu that they wouldn't have either 8D Me, eating food with my hands..? Madness!

Geoff had an extra copy of Phantom Hourglass from getting his Zelda DS Lite, so I've been playing that too. Weird to get used to, but I really like it. Getting used to it makes it harder than it should be, I think. But I like the set up, and some things are made so much easier, like throwing things. I HAEV AIM. It's amaijing. Though, I really need to stop slashing bomb flowers when I go to pick them up. And Linebeck is as awesome as his reputation is.

I really need to play Beautiful Katamari tomorrow while I have the chance. I saw Geoff playing it and it looks awesome. *_* one of the only reasons I'd ever want a 360, but probably will never get one anyway.

The day started off a little rocky, but it was still fucking awesome. Geoff kicked me awake at 11:30 AM, though I didn't actually get out of bed until around 12 as he was leaving for work... dawdled on here a bit and had finally woken up enough for a shower when some guy came to the door asking about a leak. It set me behind a little bit, so I had to rush to wash my hair in Geoff's incredibly tiny shower. I mean seriously, you can barely stand in that thing without bumping into something, let alone attempting to wash and rinse yourself. It took a while to rinse the conditioner especially from my hair, since the water pressure was like many little drips, but other than that the shower does have it's plus sides over mine at home; mostly that the water is really easy to set. You just turn it and it turns on, and you turn in to the right temperature (and attempt not to bump into it and mess it up). I hurriedly dressed and brushed my hair and teeth and was almost ready to leave when more people showed up at the door, wanting to investigate the leak. I told them that I had to leave to be somewhere right then, but they came in anyway. It isn't even my suite! They didn't take very long, but geez. It made me a little late, at least for when I'd been advised to leave, and I still had to sketch out my desired hair style after they left.

I left about 10 minutes behind schedule, and locked up a little since I was following Geoff and Google's directions somewhere I've never been before. Plus, the shoes I brought are really not ideal for walking long distances. They look cool and all but they're really heavy. I so regret wearing them now... or at least not bringing my normal with me to Seattle. Needless to say the walk was very tiring, and time felt like it was going a lot faster than it was apparently, because when I got to her house I was only 10 minutes late. She didn't mind though, and wow, she is really nice. Geoff has a lot of awesome friends, which doesn't surprise me at all. Her dog was all over me, a cute mutt named Mothra, even jumped up on my lap while I was getting my hair dyed. The Monkees was playing on her playlist when I arrived, and we reminisced about childhood crushes on Davey Jones.

She's amazing! I mean, I couldn't see what was going on most of the time since I'm clinically blind without my glasses, but that made it more fun. She was able to follow my half-assed rushed sketches amazingly well, and seemingly effortlessly brought my dream hair to life. It was amazing once it was finally cut and dyed, after a few minor adjustments, and especially so once she styled it for me. It looked easy enough too, just a straightening/curling iron and some hairspray afterwards, but... damn. I fucking have Jrocker hair. IT'S SO AWESOME. I almost kissed myself in the bathroom mirror, seriously. I look totally different, refreshed. It even makes my smile look better.. it's weird, but I suddenly don't hate it anymore. And it's damn comfortable, too. I haven't had so little hair since grade 4, and that was a terrible haircut. I keep looking in the mirror every chance I get now. I might just become a little egotistical.

I hung out there for a while after it was done since Geoff was off picking someone up from the ferry. We really talked our asses off, so we exchanged e-mails. The hair job only came to $75, she gave me a discount because I'm awesome. Then we went out for dinner with half of the other concert attendees, to some healthy Mexican food place that I can't remember the name of. It was pretty good, for healthy food. I hadn't eaten anything all day and I still didn't finish the whole burrito. It was fucking huge.

The concert was amazing. I've never been to a concert period before, so that was an experience in itself, but I've really wanted to go to a video game orchestra concert forever. *_* I was in awe the whole time, even through the songs I didn't know, but they were mostly still pretty. My favourite was definitely the Chrono Trigger/Cross medley. I can't believe I got to hear Time's Scar live, it was so beautiful. Zelda and One Winged Angel get runner up. And Ryouko, the first song they played was Liberi Fatali. It made me think of you. XD There was fun times to be had during intermission in a crazy pictochat where I was mostly the only person actually trying to draw quality. I admit to drawing a penis too, though. There were some really funny ones. And I got a couple of Japanese comments from Mother fans about my Mr. Saturn and Ness doodles, it felt awesome. I know this because I saw maybe three 'randomjapaneseMOTHERmorejapanese/cuteface' comments pop up.

Tried another bubble tea flavour afterwards.. grape rose? Kind of funny. I forgot to shake it though, so I accidentally drank a lot of the tasty parts first and ended up with a somewhat less tasty slushy to finish. When we got back here Geoff's friend took some pictures of my hair from all angles with his cellphone, so soon you'll be able to see it. GOD I LOVE IT.

Well, time to pass out in the beanbag couch! :>

Alright, now for the happy entry.

As expected, Seattle really isn't all that different from Vancouver. It feels just like a home I've never been to, really. He picked up this awesome girl named Angela at some point and we played Tetris over wi-fi while Geoff made the rest of his way to Seattle. She really kicked my ass, like 17 to 6 or something, but that is newfangled add-a-few-useful rules Tetris. I wasn't used to it! But it really helped calm me down after what happened. We get along really well apparently, I'll have to get her AIM.

Geoff took us to his office to pick something up, then we went out to get Bubble Tea, which I'd never tried before tonight. Geoff recommended a flavour and I just went with it, and he took a phone video of my first-time-trying-Bubble-Tea face. I choked and almost gagged, fuck it was so weird and it must've been great because they got a kick out of it. I practically sniffed one of those tapioca things up my nose. I'm sure it'll make it's way onto the internet soon, so you all can laugh at me. It's also the last record of my old and out of date look before it changes tomorrow, as Angela so pointed out. After the initial surprise it was actually really good, and tasted better and better as I drank more of it. I actually managed to finish the whole thing, which is saying something for me. I usually can't finish big drinks.

Then we stopped back at his place for a rest. Fucking earned it, I'd say. Then we went out to the store and got food at Dick's, which was bizarre and like an AU McDonald's that actually isn't horrible. A good junky meal is always nice after an ordeal like that.

So I'm in his pants. And tomorrow is the big day! I've got to get to my hair dresser's appointment myself in a city I've never been to before because Geoff'll be at work, but he showed me the way before going to the store and I've got directions printed out, so it should be cool. I'm not that stupid. I just never go outside. I've gotta do some sketches when I wake up to show her what I want it to look like (you know, I've drawn the rough idea a couple times). Apparently she's really good. I'm fucking excited! Sounds like I can get the right colours done too. Aw man, I love Geoff.

A-and then, the concert...! Oh man. I'm totally psyched. Also, I'm staying until Sunday or Monday, which I know is going to be really unhealthy for my messages and art backlog... but I'm not art blocked anymore, so that shouldn't be a problem. Alright, I've made enough typeity noise and I'm dead tired. I'm sleeping on a gigantic body-molding bean couch tonight!

.. in his pants!

Ha! I cut my nails today. I knew that was the problem.

Terra e was... fucking amazing. I've mentioned this to a couple of people already, but it's surpassed Mother 3 in my heart. Not to say that Mother 3 isn't amazing.. both are almost tied. But Terra e really is the most beautiful series I've ever seen. I'm trying my best to get everyone I know to watch it, because it's so depressingly unnoticed, even though most people that have watched it agree that it's a masterpiece. D:

Got a little further in ToP. Cless runs like Sonic the fucking Hedgehog! Geeez. But damn, it's so nice to finally play the PSX version. I think I'll actually get past Moria this time.. and the skits are cute. Really makes me wish we got Japanese VAs for Symphonia and Abyss so we got voices for them period. Lazy shits D: I don't mind the Abyss dub (I couldn't stand Symphonia's much, mostly because of Colette, but), so it would've been cool if they'd voiced them. Ah well. :< Lost Chester already. I hate that! Tales games like to take my favourite characters from me for long periods of time, or give them to me really late (Presea). Grr arrr. Haa, and the PSX version makes Cless even gayer for him with the skits. Heeheee! And Klarth is a cutie. I didn't really see much of him when I played before, so I didn't remember what he was like at all.

Also fgfhgh Ouendan. So much awesome. Kind of weird to own the second game and not the first, but I played a lot of Geoff's anyway. Agfhd I can't pass the last level on Hard yet. You know, it's funny. I'm sure my DS has gone through quite a bit of abuse from EBA through Heavy Rock and this, bit I don't think I've gauged the screen at all. I do see an almost-circle shaped group of scratches, but I don't think I'm anywhere near the fabled screen-breaking. You guys press too hard! >_>

I'm feeling really anxious. Geoff should be here soon.. I just, bleghagdgfhs. I know it'll probably go okay, but the idea of crossing the border is making me nervous. I just don't want to get denied, making him come all the way from Seattle to hang and bring me back with him pointless. He's just so generous that it'd upset me a lot if that happened. But... Play! concert.. ;_; I'm so excited. I've wanted to go to a video game concert for years.

I'm cutting it awful close for the funfest. Hopefully I can manage to finish by tomorrow. I haven't even started yet I'm working on it, honest! Maybe some serious pressure will do me good! It's how I always used to finish school projects and all that crap.

I've been trying to catch up on some anime.. Finally got around to watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei after seeing quite a lot of fanart, and I love it. Not even just Nozomu, who I absolutely adore, but most of the other characters too. Kiri is my favourite out of them, she's just so.. cute. I want her in my closet. It's really interesting, because I find that Nozomu and Fuura are like.. the two most extreme sides of me, if I were to be figuratively cut in half. Even looks.. Nozomu's glasses and eye colour, and Fuura's hair. So.. weird. Well, I really like it.

Watched one more Terra e episode.. watching that anime is so slow for me, since I take far too many screenshots. D: this is why watching anime goes really slow for me, but I really can't help it, 'cause I hate not being able to find a screenshot that I want on the internet. I can't wait to finish it though *_* and TONY, finally~ his devotion to Jomy is cuuute. And fuck, he's gorgeous. I only wish I had aged that well... orz

Watched the first episode of Persona -trinity soul- too. Actually, I'm impressed. I really like the character designs, the quality is above average, and unless I'm mistaken Shoji Meguro is at least contributing to the music, or else they found someone that fits the mood just as well. I was kind of worried about that.. and the art style is nice. I can tell they tried to base it after the Persona 3 art, but the proportions are more realistic. Nice and crisp, too, and good colour choices. And fuck, Jun is too cute. D: I want to molest him so bad.

Also beat Ryuusei, PW 3, managed to beat Jumpin' Jack Flash on Hard ROCK though I failed the last spinner, started a couple more drawings I didn't need to, stared playing Mother 3 again, and am in general I'm feeling pretty damn gloomy. Alright, but dark. Y'know how that goes?

I had a strange dream where I had this nasty gushy tumour on me knee. It was really weird, lol.

Nick came over and hung out to play Guitar Hero II/III and SSBM with me and Johnny. Nick made me play that Dragon Force song on Medium and mom was laughing at my failure the whole time. Apparently, because I used "BASS" I was doomed to suck, even when I switched to "JEAN". Boo. >_> At least I came back with Bowser. But it was too late for me to shine, apparently. Nick and I enjoy being the best with Bowser out of our little group. Our Bowser/Bowser matches are like, the funnest shit ever. Extra points with gay joking and down throw Bowser rape. Mwaahahaha~.

I'm managing to savour my Christmas chocolate pretty well. Still feel that Christmas fat, though.

Christmas was nice. I had not one, but three present mishaps; dad wrapped the wrong mug for me and mixed mine up with the one Johnny picked out for himself, mom wrapped a box of chocolate that I already had in my stocking that was meant for Johnny, and Johnny mis-read one of my presents and tore it open. That was the really nice pair of black/dark grey jeans that mom got me. She also got me a few tops, too many chocolates, and her friend gave me $20, and I got another bag of Purdy's and $10 from Uncle Aaron when we went to his place for the annual Boxing Day... thing. The turkey dinner there wasn't very good, but luckily I was still full as hell from ours, so I didn't have to eat very much. I'm STILL full, one meal a day and some snacks is doin' me good right now, god. Now that Johnny's got Guitar Hero III and his own guitar, he's been making me play with him with Nick's that we're borrowing, and augh, it makes me feel so dyslexic. I still haven't gotten used to it, the blue notes fuck me up on medium a lot and they really shouldn't, I'm good enough at rhythm games that I can do better. I guess I'll get used to it.. but, eh, Slash it hot, so who cares, right? >_>

Hard ROCK mode on EBA is funnn. I didn't think I'd like the Divas that much, but they're actually pretty awesome. Maybe more awesome than the Ouendan girls, but... yeah, I need those games bad. There's only a couple of EBA songs that I really like, I find it's a lot harder to get into the game because half of the songs aren't catchy enough. When I played Ouendan and Ouendan 2 it was a lot easier to get 300s, I notice. And the spinners in EBA are harder to make go fast, unless I'm crazy. Speaking of Ouendan 2, I need to find someone to buy it for me while it's cheap on Play-Asia. I have the money to pay you back for it, I just don't have any in my Paypal account right now, and the deal's only on for 3 more days. So, anyone wanna help a pal out?

Wuaaghhh Ryuusei has pulled me in. There are things about it that I actually like over EXE, mainly the story/character development, and the anime's quality is in general a lot higher, but I still like EXE more overall. I think. B'awww now I'm confusing myself. I kinda wanna cosplay Utagai, which hurts me because I naturally have his hair colour and style, but I really don't like my hair and want to get it cut and dyed already. I think I'd just search out a wig I could use instead.

Geez I'm so behind on shit. Sorry if I'm not on IMs much for a day or two, I'm trying to get through all these messages and finish some art. I'll try to pop on a bit anyway, but god don't let me RP, just.. hit me if I try to give in to the urge.
