I Am A Nerd

Oh my god, why did I not find out about Google Notebook before today? It is wonderful and fulfills my deep burning desire to organize things. I already have files started for Eva, Leon, and assorted gun info, although I may add one for Tseng shortly.

Speaking of, I just had the revelation that while I personally like revolvers better than semi-auto, Tseng would probably opt for a semi-auto, at least for work, for the pure and simple reason that they chamber more. Most of the large-caliber rifles are only chambered for six rounds, and you're supposed to leave one empty for safety. The large caliber semi-autos, though, hold ten in the magazine plus one in the chamber, and it's really easy to carry an extra magazine and switch when one is empty, as opposed to reloading a revolver.

Now to decide if he'd go for something more exotic than a 1911-style semi-auto or not.
(...And I totally need an Ada 'girl with guns' icon)

EDIT: Randomly, where the hell are all the cool RE people hiding? I know of a few interesting people over in the Claire/Leon bit of things, but I'm afraid to talk to them because almost all the C/L fans are some variety of Ada-hater and would either try to kill me or irritate the hell out of me, because while I like Claire, I like Ada too (Claire/Leon/Ada OT3! ...Yeah, crack, but it's fun crack)

EDIT 2: And the cool DMC people, too, although I know a few of those. There the problem is less crazy shippers as it is finding the ones who aren't totally bitchy.

Self-Doubt

It's quarter 'til three in the morning, and I really should be asleep as I need to be up at eleven thirty to drive home, but I'm having a massive moment of self-doubt about this fall. I'm leaving in four weeks, first to Toronto for a day or two, than out to BC, and right know, I'm wondering - is this really the right choice for me? I think I can safely say that out of the two places I got accepted, UBC is definately the better choice, but...I only applied to four schools, and I wonder now if I should have applied to more places in Boston, because while Vancouver is an awesome city, Cambridge and Boston are what I grew up with, pretty much. I'm going to miss the T, even - there's something about subways that buses just don't quite touch. And while it'll theoretically be nice to be closer to a bunch of my friends, without a car, it's still a four hour trip out to the island or down to WA, which is probably just long enough to keep me from doing it with any sort of regularity and make me totally frustrated in the process

*sigh* I wish I wasn't perpetually second-guessing myself.

Kiiiiiill

Ways To Utterly Destroy Any Good Mood I Was In:

Coming home to find
-my brother has left my monitor on for two days straight (I have no screensaver, because I had problems with it freezing, and always the moniter off)
-one of his friends has rifled through my stuff
-while the Idiot is gone for now, he'll be back this weekend and next weekend.

And good god, does this connection blow. Or maybe it's this computer, I don't know. New laptop FTW!

Thanks for the comments last night/this morning, though - I feel a lot better about stuff now. You guys are awesome ♥
