Okay, so despite it not being entirely fiscally responsible, I picked up the 100 Classic Books Collection (DS) and Eternal Sonata (Xbox) games today. I only have praise for the books one, since it's actually really intuitive and they have all this lovely ambient music on it. I'm about nine chapters into Moby Dick at the moment.

Eternal Sonata is fun too. But I just came across my first antagonist.

And you'll never fucking believe it.

He's voiced by goddamn Adachi-baby.

I damn near squealed.

Also, a meme! A simple one.

Don't make an edit or change anything. Just post what you have on your Ctrl+V command right now. We will all learn something new about each other.

( For myself, it is this! )

Pros:
- Got my Red-Ring'd Xbox 360 replaced for no charge today with a newer model
- Tried Saints Row 2 on doxinator's recommendation. Forgoing my first try at the aunt's place of an obese topless Asian man with a blonde afro, I have made a white chick with a black beehive hairdo in a cocktail dress. All the better to cap some asses with!
- Finished Fallout 3. That ending was shocking, but in another way, I couldn't see how anything else could have happened.
- Got Yukari accepted into discedo! Delicious canonmates, mmyes.
- Picked up some new clothes when Kim took me shopping the other day. +5 fashionable!
- Fucked your mom.

Cons:
- Fucking Xbox red ringed on me! D:
- uuuuugh all these journals to add what is the deal
- Had to drop Kumatora in order to keep myself free. To be honest, I just feel constrained having more than two characters in a game. Even if the AC is low, it's just a weight on my mind. She was done there, anyway.
- Generally just...really friggin' tired all the time, due to that real life drama. It's ebbing down now, but still. Ugh. So tired all the time.
- Fucked your mom.

FUCKING AWESOMES:
- FUSED MARA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PERSONA 4
FELT SO VALIDATED GUYS
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
FUCKING MARA

Holy shit, I created Apollo's account exactly one year ago. October 27th, 2008. Happy...anniversary? You've lasted longer than anyone else.

Though fff, I think I know why; I might have waxed lyrical about this to other people, but the boy really resonates with me like no-one else I've ever played. In a way, I look up to him. Despite all the bad things that have happened in his life, he goes forward with that passionate heart burning red and commits himself to what he does. He doesn't stand for lies and mistruths, and while I don't really want to be the stick in the mud he can be, I still admire his resolve. For a time, while I didn't find myself thinking 'what would Apollo do here?', I still ended up acting a bit like him. Same deal with Souji Seta, but for different reasons.

So yes. One year of being the Pollybug! Go me. Go him. ♥


EDIT:



...thanks, Internet. No, really.

Yo friendlist!

I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish reading, but my last few posts were the whiniest of all time.

OF ALL TIME.

/shrug


I swear this is the new Rickroll. Also, I have learned that a shrug is that tiny ladies jacket thing!

Six games of Freecell won in a row. Who is the man.

In other news, the mother left for the sister's place today. I have the house to myself from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon. PARTY TIME? I THINK SO.

(By party, obviously, we mean sit around with no pants on playing videogames. But still!)

OH OH AND

AND

( AND )

I THINK THERE WAS MORE BUT I FORGOT IT

LET'S TALK ABOUT POKEMON INSTEAD

EDIT #2: ALSO, I have an announcement to make. It's well-known that I'm not fond of internet lingo - lol, using :) in an insincere manner, all that jazz - but I have come to a realisation.

( Cut for rage )

...and that's all.

I JUST WON FOUR GAMES OF SOLITAIRE IN A ROW

FUCK YEAHHHHHHH

I am so pumped right now and I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY

I am just PUMPED. And still at work, but! PUMPED. It is such a good thing no-one else is around because I am cursing like a sailor with my Fuck Yeahs and Shit up in this Bitch.

HIGH-FIVES ALL AROUND

YEAH

I DECREE THIS POST THE AWESOME SPAM POST. GET TO IT.

Got a question for you, f-list.

When should and shouldn't you take no for an answer? I'm posing this to all sorts of life things, not just a specific scenario. Are there times when a clear, firm 'no' (outside of sexual settings, obviously) should be utterly disregarded?

Because I'm a touch worried about this. Tell me what you think.

Edit: Okay, rad! Thanks for the input, guys, and I'd like to pose another one to you. What if the thing is entirely mundane? For example:

Them: Hey, I'm gonna eat the last cookie/use your car/not pay you back that 20 I owe you.
You: What? No.
Them: Okay, I'm gonna do that.
You: No. Do not do that.

And then they do it anyway, possibly despite more clear, firm NO answers. Basically, hearing a no to a mundane request and disregarding it. Is this okay, or what?

So I finally actually watched the Twilight movie tonight. I've maintained for a long time that the movie is better than the book entirely because there is about 1000% less oh Edward you are so beautiful I love you I love you I love youuuu~

But lawdie, is it fun to make fun of. I could not even begin to explain.

Why would you put this next to a children's play area

Nightmares forever

Also I can't stop listening to this Lost in Stereo song for hours at a time on repeat aaaaaaaahhhh

Is it just me, or does this icon look like Solid Snake in a Cloud costume?

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other.

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

I'll post something that isn't a meme sometime soon, really! Pretty much nothing is sacred with me, so don't feel afraid to ask the HARD QUESTIONS.

( MEANWHILE, AT JONESY'S NIECE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY... )

Oh, sister. You have the best taste in chopping boards.

BRB BEING AN EMO IN TASTEFUL GLASS ACCOUTREMENTS

Also, a meme! Stolen from rmarques.

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" (or you can just ask for the meme, I won't mind) 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.


Also +1, for my Persona broskis, uh...there's...a Neopets-ish game that my nieces showed me tonight. It looks alright, but, um...

It's called Mara Pets.

Yeahhhhhh.

So I just added a bunch of people from theoregontrail. 'sup, guys?

To your left, you'll find screencap adventures of various games with my entertaining/retarded/ridiculous commentary along with them. I don't really have the drive to do them anymore, but there's a fair amount there!

To your right, on the sidebar, you'll find links to most of the fanfiction I've written. Plenty there for you to see!

Straight ahead, you'll find retarded memes and rambling about my life. Something has to be really, really private for me to f-lock it, so it's likely all there.

Do call me if you have any questions!

Confusion Strikes Empire Back: Jedi's Hope Returns Anew


y/n?

I entirely blame amongst_thine, weizhijun, atoli, shouei, and rending_saber for this.

So, now: a dramatic reading of this most purple piece of prose.

Download here and witness the horror glory of it all.

Do we really need to tell the Pokemon to dodge an attack in the anime? Wouldn't their default action be to not get hit by giant fireballs?

This just seems strange, is all. Do the Pokeballs put Pokemon so far under the sway of their Trainer that they will literally sit there and get hit unless you explicitly tell them to avoid the giant beam of searing death?

Jeez.

Cleaning out my junk drawer today.

( It contains: )

And that's not even counting the stuff I just put IN.

NOW WASN'T THAT FASCINATING

Edit: ...make that 4 thumbtacks. Ow, ow ow.

Animania is in 2 days.

I had completely forgotten that Animania is in two days.

Despite having a huge essay to write and a bunch of other things, I've decided to still attempt that cosplay I was gonna do.

Hopefully - in 2 days - I shall be all Kyon'd up.

Wish me luck. It's gonna be cut pretty close.

At least I have the money for this. For now.

So...the entire premise of Death Note is some low-rank shinigami loses the book in the human world and some kid picks it up?

Apparently I was wrong to leave this manga alone for so long, if it's as retarded as that.

( And some more thoughts under here as I go along! )
