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

So here's that talking aimlessly meme I should have done awhile ago! Shit was difficult over the last week and I really didn't have the proper levels of radical to do it properly. But here it is now!



And now, to bed.

Oh, Internet.

Feeling much better, too! Drive to write is back, RPing is going well, friends are back on track and I finally, finally finished Dragon Quest VIII after leaving it for about seven months. The urge to play the protag is...worrying. I'd really want a cast to play him off, though, and that's about as likely as a golden penguin.

Fallout 3 continues to amuse. Only in the Wasteland can ruthlessly murdering an entire town give you Good Karma, simply because they were slave-traders. Apparently there was an entire sub-quest where you go to a hidden orphanage and accept a quest to save the slave kids from the slaver town and THEN go there, but I had no idea of that. I just went in and killed them because SLAVE-TRADERS. B|

Anyway! Don't mind me, I just love the morality choices in that game. And the way the head explode. LET'S DO A MEME AND ALL MOVE ON.

Um. Right. Meme. I can find one of those. Surely the f-list has...wow, no they haven't. Weird. Alright, no prob. Uh...

OKAY. TELL ME WHAT SONG ~*REMINDS YOU OF ME*~. And why.

Links optional but highly encouraged!

OKAY SCRATCH THAT. Give me more questions for another TALKING AIMLESSLY MEME! Pyra has inspired me once again and I am so charming that I think I can make lightning strike twice, clearly.


Also: christ no I am not doing Nano. My motivation is far too sporadic to get one of those done, and bad writing happens when I force myself.

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.

Here's those pictures I was talking about! None of me just in eyeliner, alas, but I'm sure you'll all survive.

( Read more... )

Now if my Internet connection doesn't speed up sometime soon, I swear I'm just about to break down into sobs. This is so frustrating, my god, how could dialup people ever handle this.

Left the house at 9am yesterday; had to buy a costume for a bro's 21st that night. Was informed about this on Wednesday, but whatever.

Ran around the city like a headless chicken until I found a totally awesome zombie outfit. Rented that shit and ran into the birthday boy and his girlfriend (my best friend, by the by, the bro was just a bro by assocation at the beginning) and ended up picking up Kat #1 to head back to their place to help prepare.

Spent the next three or so hours running around with balloons and ribbons and shit, getting things ready. Was blasted before the party even started. By which I mean TIRED, not drunk. No-booze Christian family, you know how it is.

Got some ballin' zombie makeup done by Kat #1. Many pictures were taken which I will show you guys once they make the rounds at Facebook. Sang far too much karaoke. Imma let you finish'd the whole party.

Got home at 1am today and slept for four hours. Somehow still woke up at 5am. Goddamn body clock.

And now I have a ten-hour shift at work! This will probably end horribly at some point, but whatever.

Yesterday, I think, was good.


...I don't think I got all the eyeliner off, though. Tips for that?

Me: *goes out! Buys new jeans, sits down with a coffee and pounds out 1000 words for the novel.*
Me: Okay, awesome! I really shouldn't buy a game so soon after being paid, though, considering I just bought that Xbox 360. Fallout 3 will keep me occupied for ages.
Gametraders: Nope, nothing here!
Toys'r'Us: Nothing here either!
Electronics Boutique: RAIDOU KUZUNOHA VS. THE SOULLESS ARMY
Me: ...
Electronics Boutique: FOR 25 BUCKS. :D
Me: ...fuck.

Status update: it is pretty good so far! I do love me some 1920s action, even if Jonesy Boat the 14th Raidou is actually kinda weird as shit. The levelling system is interesting, though. Now if only healing wasn't expensive as shit and Alps didn't CAST DIA AND PULINPA OVER AND OVER WASTING ALL THEIR MP IMMEDIATELY AAH. That would be lovely.

It's definitely hooking me more than Digital Devil Saga 2 did, though. Props to dat.

Also, for anyone I DIDN'T spaz about this too: I got Minato-style headphones last week! They are SO awesome, you have no idea. I am so happy with this purchase.



...I wonder what would happen if you tried to use two Evokers at once.

Friends cut! If you're reading this, I love you. ♥

Otherwise, it's been a really damn lazy week. I've played copious amounts of Fallout 3, actually managed to stay inside the whole day for the first time in about a fortnight, and just done a lot of uninteresting stuff. Though there's a costume/birthday party I'm going to Friday as zombie House, so that'll be cool. Not getting any writing done, save for tags, but mmrph. Can't really bring myself to care. My headaches have been a little too harsh to focus properly, anyway.

I'm finding myself kinda happy that theoregontrail died around the same time as I dropped Rude from paradisa, though; having that weight off my shoulders is pretty good. Frankly, it was just getting tiring, keeping activity check with all of those. I did think it'd mean I'd write a bit more with my energies redirected, but ahurhur, apparently not.

I do rather mourn not playing Apollo as much anymore...even though I've been ferrying him over to 8_dressing again to keep that delicious love/hate going with Franziska. I think my enthusiasm for Yukari might be waning a touch, though. She's lasted about as long as Apollo by now, and that's a long time to be writing one character. Maybe Yukiko's booting her out?

Nothing else comes to mind! Fallout 3 is eating my life.

IMPROMPTU MEME

Tell me about your day, f-list! What was the last cool thing to happen to you?


...also I feel vaugely dirty for shipping Bluenato/Rednato as hard as I do in Persona 3, but damned do I never want to stop.

Goddamnit.

I have finally come to the realisation that yes, without argument, I will buy a PSP just for the female protag in Persona 3 Portable.

Thank you, Atlus. I am now your whore as well.

Edit: And jumping on this little bandwagon as well, since zarla's recent posts motivated me to pick the game up again:

( No-context Yume Nikki screencaps )

I feel good lately! Writing is going smoother, life is getting happier, and I'm thinking about scaling back RP a bit just so I'm not killing entire days on it as often.

Though GOOD GOD, I did not expect Apollo's emopost to explode like that. Fucking 400 comments! I alternately want to kill myself and stare in wonder at being so popular.

Also picked up Ape Escape 2! The same monkey-catching fun as the ones before and after, but this protag...my god, it's like he's functionally retarded.

Anyway! Have a meme.

recommend a friend

And, uh...writer people/Persona buddies? I don't often link to my porn yeah right, but I would actually like opinions today. See, I'm doing this Yosuke/Yukiko thing, and it's the kinda deal where it's very easy to slip into OOC territory. Let me know your thoughts, if you would be so kind!

TL;DR:

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.

Hm. It also appears that I cannot stop playing Dragon Quest 5. Perhaps I should do something about that!

Why, what's this? It appears to be a bandwagon! I think I'm gonna need to jump on this.

--unfortunately I am not a talker at all, so if I do it, I'm gonna need something to say. So, let's cause an unholy fusion of memes and get you guys to Ask Me Anything! Protip, I ramble like a mofo about Persona and Ace Attorney fandoms - or pretty much anything I'm into, especially RP - but it's aaaaaaall good. Kat, I know what you're thinking. No.

Anyway yeah. Questions! I don't trust myself not to look at them before then, so fff, sorry if the answers seem...rehearsed? I dunno.

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.

This post brought to you by What Jonesy Does When Bored at Work.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: So I was walking up the hill near my house to get to the bus-stop on my way to work, right? Ordinary enough. My dad had brought home a pair of black dress shoes - gotta wear 'em to work, you see - for me. Only $15! Bargain.

Not so much of a bargain when the heels begin crumbling under my feet as I jog up the hill. I had to use my lunch-time on my stopover at the mall to quickly buy a new pair of shoes, just so I wasn't trailing rubber behind me the whole day.

GJ, shoe store. On the upside, the pair I bought are actually really great.

Woken up at 6:45am by a banging on the door.

Dragged myself out of bed - I'm awful with time and didn't check the clock, but I assumed Dad had gone to work by now - to a dude at the door with a package.

Was pleasantly surprised! Opened it up, and~ guess who has their Kyon costume!

Then got on here and saw much praise for my recent kinkmeme fills.

Today, I feel, will be a good day.

So I got some new shoes, the first season boxset of Leverage, rearranged the loungeroom (somehow, since apparently 'helping' = 'standing around wiping things and going into raging bitchfits whenever she's asked to do anything' in my mother's language) and actually did some work on the novel.

So far so good! I entirely thank firefly99 for pointing me towards Q10. It's gonna help so much with getting me to focus while I'm writing, gawwwwd.

...now back to derping around in GTA. :B

You know what'd be the best idea?

Going to that con in September in my Kyon costume (haha why so expensive cosplay) and meeting up with some other Haruhi peoples and having a conversation.

Then doing some stuff and coming back and having the conversation again.
Then doing some stuff and coming back and having the conversation again.
Then doing some stuff and coming back and having the conversation again.
Then doing some stuff and coming back and having the conversation again.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Possibly as a skit!


Also: writing has been slowing down again. I really hope writing wasn't just a phase for me, because if I lose interest in it, I dunno what I'm gonna do...

Also bought Digital Devil Saga 2 and Justice for All. Way to have about SIX DIFFERENT RPGS RUNNING AT ONCE, SELF. I haven't even finished Dragon Quest VIII from forever ago. On the plus side, maybe I'll write some more attorney-fic once I've played through AJ and JFA again!


Yukari's account is running out at the same time as this one auuuuuugh SOMEONE BUY ME MORE TIME, I AM AN LJ-WHORE

RPSHIPSMEME

And here I am thinking of bringing Yukiko over to Para as well ahahahaha such bad decisions

Nothing else to report! I should do that next Kirby thing, though.
