Pretty much spoiler-free, but cut anyway, because it will likely be long, and nobody cares. Well, Megan might, but nobody else does XD; I know seventy hours in is possibly a big late in the game, but eh, whatever. It was on my mind last night after the fire alarm, though.

( Onward! )

EDIT: GIP :D

I am sad that I no longer have a Nocturne gaming-buddy - guess it's just me and GameFAQs now. Poking around the Fourth Kalpa at the moment - I've been playing Psychonauts some, but I'm determined to collect _everything_, which gets a bit mind-numbing.

Also, damn you Atlus. The Persona 2 reissue is, of course, already out of stock again - used copies are still pretty cheap, but now I'm waffling about it. Particularly as I also really really want a DS. And need a cellphone. And thus possibly a job that gives me hours sometimes.

EDIT: Also, this game is never going to make me stop quoting Good Omens. For instance -
Map label: 'The Road to Hell'
Me: "...is paved with frozen door-to-door salesmen!"

What I want to be doing: Working on my Supernaturnal/DMC crossover (yeah, I caved)
What I am doing: Writing my English paper.

Shouldn't have put it off, argh. But nooo, I just had to let Rosie and Justin talk me into going to Metrotown today. I'm half done, which means I won't be up all night doing it, but damnit, I'm sick and tired, I want to sleep. And I'm still cellphoneless because of BC's age laws - I'm not of age here until next March, which means I can't enter into a legal contract, which means I can only get a pay-as-you-go phone which are even crappier deals than the contract plans.

On the plus side, I gave myself a much-needed little ego-boost today by dressing up some - there are few things more awesome than walking to Chem in big strappy platform boots, black jeans, black button-down and silver tie, and my black leather trenchcoat with 'Anarchy' playing on my mp3 player. Although the appreciative stares I got from a few of the Wargamers is up there - it's always nice having people appreciate my aesthetic.

Also, entirely unrelated, but I keep meaning to say it and forgetting - Jo from Supernatural is pretty much my Eva, age 18 or so, incarnate. Well, maybe more plaid flannel and less bell-bottoms, but with Eva, we're talking 60s, so it's understandable. But the looks? The inexperience? Hell yes.

-The Wargamers are significantly more bent than I previously thought
-Bacardi 151 tastes like burning
-Real porn is kind of boring
-Total straightness in a guy is a turn-off
-Watching very tall guys making out with very short guys is funny XD;

Yeah, so, we had a little mini-Wargamers party Friday night. It was, in short, made of awesome. I got more tongue in one evening than I have ever, pretty much.

Yesterday was a little bit more low-key - my dad is visiting, so I went and had dinner with him and we wandered around some. Right now, I am off to go to the movies with him, w00t.

Ganked from shineko, cause I need something to amuse me while I have my cup of tea before the MISA thing. And I know there's a ocuple of you who should be able to answer basically every question on here XD;
( Stalker meme XD; )

It says something about my inability to learn languages that I looked back at my notes from the last time I took Japanese, about a year and a half ago, and I have no idea what half the stuff I wrote means any more. Damnit, languages, why must you mock me D:?

I did make a minor break-through on the crab-thing, though, in finally managing to identify that they're poikilotherms. Found one article that might be helpful, except that while the library webpage claims we have an online subscription to the journal it was in, we apparently don't, because it keeps asking me for login info. If someone else has access and would like to e-mail me the PDF, I'd be eternally grateful - link is here.

EDIT: Skuld sent me a copy - thanks ♥

I officially hate green shore crabs, I think. Yes, my Bio lab is made of lame. I have to write about the response we're measuring in our experiment, which basically boils down to metabolism, which is stupidly hard to find things on.

I've gone to the language circles at I. House for the last two weeks now, and there is one guy who keeps coming to the Japanese circle who makes me hurt inside. I can tell he means well, but he's one of those really loud people who thinks everything he says is a lot funnier than it actually is, and thus won't shut up. And his pronunciation is soul-burningly bad. And I've forgotten so much, I hate it.

Also, I really hope someone has written Supernatural/DMC crossover fic, because if they haven't, I'm going to have to, and that can't lead anywhere good.

Matt, what are you doing Friday Nov 17th? *has no idea when you get back to BC*

If the answer is nothing, and you'll be in Vancouver, you should come to sushi with me and some of the Wargamers. It's gonna be awesome, you'll like them.

Because kidavi inspired me - what I'm playing right now, and what I want to play, spoiler-free. Making lists, yay!

( I <3 lists. And games )

...I mourn the period of my life where I just played Final Fantasy games. That was sad. And no, FF wasn't my introduction to video games - that honor goes to Zelda, which remains one of my favorite series of all time. Which is probably why action-adventure gameplay is my favorite.

Went out for a very long walk - something between a walk and a hike, really - down to Tower Beach. I got rather thoroughly soaked, as it was raining, as well as being high tide, which means the beach doesn't quite exist in some spots, forcing me to dash through the surf and get my sneakers totally dripping wet.

But it was just want I needed - to step away from the internet, from school, from dorm stuff, from the rest of humanity, and to just chill. The combination of rain and high tide meant it was just me, the waves, and the seagulls, which was perfect.

So. Things are better now. Not totally perfect and wonderful, but life rarely is. I've been a right bitch to various people this week, and I'm sorry. I can't promise it won't happen again, but I promise I'll try.

And now, hot chocolate and video games are in order.
