GOOD AFTERNOON. I know I have been MIA for about... *checks watch* A YEAR, or more, but I do indeed still live, and I do indeed still create.

I have been swallowed up by RPing on livejournal and haven't come up for air in a very long time, but it's really fun and it gives me a chance to stretch my creative limbs. It's also helped me a lot with improv storybuilding, which is a useful skill for a DM.

To quickly recap the past year in RP and RL:

Joined a game last May and stayed in it for about 8 months. It became a home and I developed a family. Game stopped rocking, we all left and joined a myriad of other games that didn't quite measure up for various reasons. During this time I graduated. Oh wait, just kidding I didn't. That's a LONG story that I won't go into, but I have only one degree right now, the other is 4 credit hours away.

DnD during this time came to a near standstill until the end of winter term when I finally had enough free time to spend evenings gaming again with everyone, though I still had to excuse myself from time to time to finish up everything I had to do for school.

This summer I settled into two games with my RP family and am quite content at just staying in these two laid-back games. I'm also looking for work, with a few prospects at various retailers and am waiting until winter term to take my final class to get my second degree. I bought a new RPG system and started a campaign last night with a brand new group of players, and so far, success.

I mostly blog on LJ these days, since it's easier for me, but if I do recap what happens in rps in prose form, I will post pages here.

In a nutshell, same sex marriage is legal in California... at least until November when a ban will be put to vote.

Good thing California's a blue state! *crosses fingers*

You do NOT fuck around with Setzer's character design, and you CERTAINLY don't make him look like AXEL WITH PLATINUM HAIR!

Amano designed the SPRITE on the SNES GAME with more detail and intricacy than Nomura's version in 3D!

I'm just speechless at the sheer stupidity of it. What's even the point of including a character that yuppy KH fans wouldn't even appreciate? And why make him 3D if you're not going to take the time to do it right, like they're doing with FFIV DS? Seriously?

And I swear, if anyone tries to convince me that a KH game could possibly be any good for whatever reason, I will punch them in the face. These guys wouldn't know a good game if it stepped on them in Magitek armor!

1) He wants to collect Breyer Horses (... like barbies only horses and designed for little cowgirls)

2) His new favorite movie is Enchanted ("mommy can we watch the princess movie now??")

3) When my cousins put new wood flooring in he exclaimed, "WOW! Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Grandpa! They're beautiful!!"

Best part is, he's only four. He is probably my new favorite cousin. I want to take him shoe shopping.

[My family's really small: 3 grandparents + 4 aunts + 2 uncles + 7 cousins + 1 second cousin = small extended family (17 members).]

"Oh, you're gay, you should be past social conventions like 'marriage' and 'gender' and stuff like that." Wrong.

I happen to be quite traditional and like the idea of certain social conventions.

When people talk about the 1960s, they talk about the civil rights movements: women's movements, race equality movements... people of different sex and race are now equal under the law. To talk about the gay rights movement of the 1960s implies that we've achieved equality too.

We haven't. We've won segregation. I am officially a second-class citizen.

Without lining out the entire plot, the girl slowly becomes obsessed with the phone and the personality of this mysterious person. She eventually cracks and begins listening to the mp3 function, reads the inbox, outbox and even hacks the voicemail, all of this she justifies to herself as trying to find the rightful owner.

That's all I'll say about it. I'm still cultivating it before writing any of it out. I already know the ending though, so I doubt it will ever actually be written.

*cough*

What that basically translates to is this:

I've known they were going to remake Final Fantasy IV for a couple months now, but like everything else, I forgot about it. Every once in a while, however, I browse dA for any new early FF art, and what to my eyes should appear, but a wallpaper with eight tiny reindeer!

... and of course by reindeer I mean FFIV characters and there were more like ten, but whatever. Anyway, I wiki'd FFIVDS and discovered that they got Amano to do the character designs again! (that's why it is made of awesome)

Also, the humor of this does not escape me:
All of the female voice actresses that they hired for the various female characters in FFIV were all actresses in Maria-sama ga Miteru, the world's greatest shojou-ai anime. (and one of them was even in Strawberry Panic!, which amuses me even more.)

So basically it boils down to a literal Amano orgy because all of the girl characters will probably start macking on each other right on my screen.

Just go to photobucket and type "final fantasy iv" into the search. It's the first picture. Edge looks particularly awesome.

Recently it has come to our attention that Darren Hayes (ex Savage Garden singer) is coming to America to finish his latest tour (of his solo stuffs which are teh lurve). His proposed dates happen to fall from Dead Week's Friday, through to Final's Week's Saturday. He's only going to five or six cities, but one of them is L.A., so if one of the weekend shows is there, Annie and I are roadtrippin' yo.

If that is the case, there is no way in hell we'd have enough money for SakuraCon, and I'm sorry, but Darren Hayes trumps anime conventions.

I'll keep you guys posted.

EDIT:
Screw you too, Darren Hayes. I'm so pissed that I almost cried when I read he couldn't come back to the States to sing. If he would have made it happen, I was totally going to make it happen, even if that meant running down to L.A. in the middle of Final's Week. ARGH!

And I'm still not going to SakuraCon, because I need a break from life. I hate school, I hate teachers, I hate money, I just need a break from everything and I'll just catch up with everyone at KumoriCon.

My life will not be complete until I have every last one.

On another note, since I have completed all the quest for everything except the Fighter's Guild and the main quest in Oblivion, I am currently systematically killing everyone in the game that isn't related to a quest somehow (because you can't kill those people).

Oh, you haven't seen it? Well, that doesn't surprise me. If you have seen it I bet you would have taken measures to remove it from the front page. I have ever faith (and by every I mean none) that something like this will not happen again.

I put it to you, creator of this website, to have some sort of quality control that will prevent dA from turning into a forum run by 12 year olds.

Oh, and I honestly thought we were done with all the KH crap, but apparently there are still really popular people out there who are keeping the fetish alive.

Peace,

I watched I Am Legend last week and ever since then I've been thinking.

*spoilers!*

If I made it to the survival colony would I be forced to procreate to repopulate the earth? Or would we uphold some sort of individual honor and moral code that would allow me to be gay and not be forced to have sex with men? Because I think I'd rather be thrown back out with the vampire!zombies than the alternative. Seriously. Especially with my radical fear of rapists.

Anyway, just a thought.

Sabsies got me a book that's like Fruits but is pictures of Japanese people dressed up to look like V.kei band members. Or just GothicLoli... >.> Oh, and on that note I heard that the very first Gothic Lolita was Hotaru from Sailor Moon, which makes me respect the movement a lot more. ^^

My mom realized that the break was going to suck even before it started so instead of making me come home right after finals she let me stick around Eugene for a week, which is really unlike her and surprised everyone. Usually she monopolizes the entire month of December and it's all about her, but I think even she's getting tired.

My dad on the other hand hates Christmas with such a passion it makes me think he had a bad experience as a child. Something involving Christmas music perhaps, as it puts him in an amazingly bad mood. Anyway, so trying to have any sort of festive or cheery Christmas with him around is always a challenge, but this year he was the worst I've ever seen him.

I don't even care that I didn't get very many presents. That's not what matters to me. What matters is that only half the stores in GB decorated, and that's sad because it's a town of 2,000 ppl. In fact dad was against decorating the store at all so mom and I (with Annie's help) took up the task. It just seemed that no one I saw was into Christmas, and it's not like it comes once a month. I'm not giving up hope, but it is hard to celebrate by oneself.

Oh, and then I was forced to go on a family vacation. That's a long grueling tale that I don't really want to get into but take my word for it that it was uber lame and tedious.

Okay, now that I got that small recap out of the way I can talk about the new year.

I have only one resolution: EAT HEALTHIER.

Do not misinterpret that to mean DIET. There is a difference between cutting out snacks vs just trying to incorporate more vegetables. I'm not doing it to lose weight - you know what? Actually I don't care how you guys take that. If you know me, you understand and if you don't then assume all you want. I don't care.

I hope everyone had a better vacation than I did.

Mitt Romney scares the shit outta me. If he gets elected then hells yeah I'm moving so far away, they've never heard of LDS and their sick, twisted ways. Which is pretty far because they send their missionaries all over the place.

I cannot stand hypocrites, so some people say I'm interested in the wrong subject: politics. But here's the thing, Romney actually believes that freedom and religion are inseparable, as he stated in his most important speech to date.

Do I look degenerate? Do I go around killing babies and punching kittens? Do I have random sex with everyone I know and some I don't? Do I have 50 billion abortions by the time I'm 25? NO! So why do I need religion to dictate my morals? I seem to be doing quite a fine job being an intellectual human being and choosing them for myself.

No I don't give money to the needy. No I don't volunteer. No I in fact will never give birth to a child. Ever. WHO CARES? There are over 200 million people in this country (with more coming each day). I'm pretty sure some of them will have children.

Oh, and nice way to dodge all the sticky questions about Mormons by only inviting your friends, family and religious leaders to your speech. What about that one part where a woman dies but she won't be able to get into heaven until her husband dies and lets her in? Or that other part where if you are devout enough, when you die you get to become god of your own planet?

I dated a Mormon for a year and before that our families were friends, so don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

---

The Golden Compass:

I think I need to see this movie. Apparently at the end of the book series the children kill God, so all of my extremist Christian "friends" joined a facebook group banning the movie. What's wrong with killing God? I'm sure it's just a metaphor anyway. Sure it's probably offensive to some people, but you know what? So is the band "Boys like Girls" and the movie "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." Srsly.

---

Dir en grey and the GazettE:

Okay, first of all, the band spells their name like this, not Dir En Grey. Secondly, the song Yokan is NOT ABOUT HIS STUPID FISH DYING. If you claim to be a fan of Dir en grey, try taking three seconds to look up song lyrics before you claim to know what the hell he's singing about.

The GazettE spell their name in every v.kei magazine I have ever seen like this. It's not just to balance out the graphic, it actually has a capital E in it. Deal. Oh, and quit whining that NIL is totally divergent from their original sound. Frankly, I can't stand most of the old GazettE stuff. Bands change, and you don't have to like it, but if you're a fan, again, deal. Besides, I hear their new cd is pretty meh, so maybe you'll like that.

I think I'm done.

The drawings aren't hard ... well, how should I know what's hard or not to draw... Anyway, I need a drawing of a Dungeons and Dragons style gnome character and a much more difficult drawing of a Persian-style cityscape in an enormous underground cavern. Got all that?

I find it highly unlikely that anyone will take me up on this since everyone's really busy, so I'm willing to pay a small sum for each picture. The gnome drawing doesn't even have to be colored, it can just be a sketch. The cityscape I'd prefer in color, but if that seems impossible, I'd be happy with a sketch.

If anyone is actually interested, I can note you with details about the two drawings.

1.went to my myspace

2.did a stupid survey about my top 8 which I haven't changed in two years

3.changed my top 8 and made Kra number 7

4.went to Kra's myspace and discovered it's full of new music and a picture that looks suspiciously like a new cd

5. went to their official website and confirmed the new cd release (that's more like a mini cd with only 7 songs)

6. looked on youtube for a music video of the new single

7. it wasn't there so looked up Miyavi's Selfish Love video and made myself sit through the whole thing (not just the cool intro)

8. looked up a video from the S.K.I.N. concert at anime expo

9. looked up Gackt's 1999 live performance of Leeca.

10. am now currently reliving my sophomore year of high school listening to Gackt and Gravitation music.

We think that it is detrimental to the student's best interests for this class to continue to be taught in this manner. Several times the students have gone to her with criticisms and comments and have implored her to teach the class more appropriately but these resistances have been met with snide remarks and patronizing lectures.

The following is a list of the more heinous acts of hers that have brought about a general mutinous undercurrent in the students:

First and foremost this class is taught under the category of art history in so far as studying art and its history. In this class however, we have spent the first five weeks discussing nothing but philosophical rhetoric and comparing Western and Eastern social morals.

As students who have learned the system of class registration and since most of us are art history majors we expect a certain level of competency from our upper division professors. We took this class believing that it would indeed be a class about art and its historical context. Not a philosophy class, nor a sociology class which our professor seems to think it should be.

Secondly, our professor repeatedly makes comments about her class being taught on levels beyond Western concepts and expectations yet constantly limits us in those Western ways.

She has felt it necessary to change the syllabus - which will itself be discussed below - in the second week to include take-home quizzes. These quizzes are to check our understanding of issues discussed in the class up until the point of the given quiz. However, in this latest quiz there seems to have been some discrepancy in what was lectured about and what we were quizzed on.

For this latest quiz we were allowed to use only our notes from lecture and class-assigned resources. However, I can guarantee that had I not taken previous Asian art history courses I would have outright failed relying solely on class-provided material. The general consensus among the students is that we have learned more from the two videos in class and a presentation given by a graduate student than from the professor's lectures. And the presentation that the graduate student gave was prepared for a separate class and she only showed it to us at the behest of the professor. The professor was not present at the speech.

Third, time and again the professor has stated that this class has no prerequisites and one need not have taken a single college course on any aspect of Asian culture to be able to participate in class. This is of course false as explained above with the use of quizzes that require the infusion of outside knowledge in order to pass.

Another aspect of this, however is that when this grievance was brought to her attention in class she responded with a lecture that stated that this was a class in which we were learning what she referred to as "meta-history" and "meta-philosophy" which as mentioned previously is not only irrelevant to the class but also contradicts her own statements that background knowledge is unnecessary for understanding.

That entire lecture though was an excellent representation of the average lecture in that class. What she calls "discussions" are really just lectures of which the topics range from the relationship of parent to child to reminiscings of her days in college or traveling abroad, which brings me to my next point.

Fourth, our professor seems to have selective memory when it comes to the organization of class time. She remembers incidents in a completely different light than the students. Where she may think that we have covered certain topics and are indeed not behind in her syllabus, the truth may be that we either never discussed those topics or they were mentioned vaguely but then she felt it necessary to bring up an entirely unrelated subject for the duration of class. This is partially why bringing these points to her attention have not produced satisfying results and has lead to us bringing them to your attention.

Fifth, our professor stated at the beginning of the course that she was new to our school, new to the term system and new to the class structure. We understood, being third and fourth year students who have gone through many professors with different styles and needs. For the first week we did not mind that class often got out late because of disorganization or a lack of prioritization of lecture topics, but into week three and four we became dissatisfied with her flakiness and decided that it was unreasonable to spend the first 40 minutes of class discussing how the class is going to be taught. We wanted her to actually... ]]> ~Ergo-the-God http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/15143045/ http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/15143045/ Sat, 20 Oct 2007 11:59:01 PDT [link]

In other news I have at least a twenty minute break between every class so that gives me time to revisit the land of Final Fantasy V which I dropped this summer in favor of Windwaker, Twilight Princess, Pokemon Blue and Viva Pinata. (it was a very game-friendly summer...)

SakuraCon's coming. I have an itch only a nerdy cosplay can scratch! I feel left out for not going to KumoriCon last month so I'm already looking forward to the one up in Seattle. I'm thinking of doing two cosplays this time and Katie, my level 182 Seamstress, already offered to make the second one. This first one I'm going to try and do mostly by myself so it should be really fun.

At the same moment thousands of miles away the click of her phone opening coincided with the chilling words of an officer and the press of a button.

The woman's greeting came distracted as she gazed at lavishly dressed manikins, her hello an ironic death knell for mankind.

--

NANOWRIMO! *panics* I know it's illegal for me to write any part of the prose before November but I need to get it out of my head and recorded somewhere before I forget it. Even writing it down it changed from how I imagined it sounding.

Also, icon:lychee-twist replied to a comment of mine on her journal and I'm supposed to post this...I think, a series of comments she made about me:

1. YOU SUCK FOR NOT COMING TO KUMORICON XD Kidding.
2. I dare you to kiss a guy on the cheek.
3. Rainbow. Through and through Recruiter!
4. You've got one of the most adorable personalities I know of. You're like bubbles in human form.
5. One of my favorite moments was when I first met you when you whirled your head around on the first day of Japanese and said, "Did someone say Sailor Moon?!"
6. A Hamster. Of course.
7. How ya been?
8. If I do this for you, you must put this in your journal.

I suppose most of that doesn't make sense unless you read her journal, but oh well. My end of the task was fulfilled.

Lately I've been obsessed with the Vampire Hunter D novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi. I know that's not terribly hardly to believe considering they contain Amano illustrations, but even so the books are captivating! They're so good it's really a shame that they're such fast reads. Waldenbooks is horribly unreliable for stocking them so I suggest Barnes and Noble.

Oh, and one more thing: I guess the Amano-illustrated story Sandman: the Dream Hunters is NO LONGER IN PRINT in the hardcover version! *cry cry* So if anyone sees it in a store or whatever and it's less than $50 I will be more than happy to compensate you for purchasing it for me! I have the paper-back version, but it looks so flimsy on my shrine with all of my other books and video game boxes. >.>;; I'm not obsessed, I swear!

The ineffable Endling is also in the contest and everyone thinks he's either going to win or be routed in the first round (ie everyone votes him out for spite). I personally think that the votes will balance out and he'll remain on until he emerges victorious or is thwarted by a deserving candidate.

Even spending just two hours in the S:dA chatroom revealed some rather nasty and bitter personalities (whom I won't mention). They are very contempt of poor Endling and his popularity and feel very jealous. It was kind of sad; I have never really seen someone so openly spiteful of someone else before... in front of said person, anyway.

Whatever may happen behind the scenes in this competition, Annie and I will try our best and just have some fun creating together. Wish us luck!

The sun is warm, the breeze is refreshing, the trees are green! I can't wait for summer! Summer is video games, walks in the park, longer days, and most importantly, STRAWBERRY SEASON. W00t for cheap fruit and innumerable amount of desserts that may result!

My finals hate me and decided once again to leave me Tuesday completely free of tests. They taunt me like a taunting thing, giving me a break in the middle of the week while I won't truly be done with tests until Thursday.

Lenna - Ninja (again)

MER!!! I was so on a role, too. And now I stare at it and nothing. I can fix the last sentence I wrote, but beyond that I can't conjure up any more thoughts on the subject. For the time being. I just had to rant about that stupid fire alarm. I'm done now. ^^

Team Megu leaves tomorrow afternoon around five o'clock (if Katie can take her discussion at a different section than her Friday one). If she cannot, then we're open to leave as early as four.

Team Megu, report back to me if you have some conflicts (that would be you, Kiwi, particularly).

Also, there might be some room changes happening if the other Megan comes, which means I might be rooming with Katie with the other Megan taking my spot in Lychee's room. Blah blah.

So, I was excited about school starting again yesterday while buying my books, but now I'm very blah.

Not to bring everyone into my personal problems, either, but lately Katie and I have been having very strange rough spots. Like her leaving in a hurry just now and when I asked where to she said she didn't know. I think a breakup is inevitable.

That aside, (and sorry for being vauge) I think I have OHHC on the brain. I tried to marathon it in one day, got almost halfway through and gave up. I'm going to spread the rest of the 14 episodes out between today and tomorrow. I definitely want to finish it before school starts.

Maybe I'll feel better once I have something obligatory to keep me occupied.

...I seem to be using dA more as a blog than an art account. I'll try to remedy that soon with an update of my new fic.

If you draw a group picture for all the main girl characters for all the final fantasies and I can't tell the difference between ANY of them, you did something WRONG!

Same goes for the guys! If you do a picture of all the dragoons, I should at least be able to tell which one is Kain, the most notable dragoon in the series!

Come on people!

(and all the people that draw FFVII pictures and mislabel them in their tags as FFV or FFVI pictures make me sad. If I wanted to see Cloud fan art, trust me, I know where to go.)

As for the ice, I'm actually really excited. I've never lived in a place that got so cold before, and now that I have a little heater in my room I can enjoy it all I want. I hope it snows. Hope it snows, hope it snows, hope it snows.

In other news, 30 Seconds to Mars is really really good. Like, whoa. If you haven't heard their music I suggest listening to Attack off of their A Beautiful Lie cd. (I don't know if that's their only cd or not... some fan I am...)

And that show that everyone's talking about is really good. I forget the name and I'm too lazy to go into my room and look. The one with the Host Club. Oh, my mind is going. Again, some fan I am. I can remember the character's names, though!

What else? Oh, I saw Happy Feet.

Um... I'm sitting next to a lot of cheese. Like, it looks like Kono got a box of cheese for christmas... (there may have been sausages too, but they are gone.)

Still sleeping through the break, hence me being awake right now. I made make myself stay awake during the days, but I still wake up really early. Seriously, three on the dot every morning. My memory is shot. I make myself stay awake during the days, it just means I'm getting less sleep overall. Blah!

Go to suncoast. Now. They have Dir en grey's Withering Death cd for only $15. I don't think it's even that cheap in Japan. I wish they had Vulgar as well, since that has my favorite song on it, but hey, what are you going to do?

I'm excited to get back to school and start my classes. For the most part, anyway. The first week will probably kill me, especially the fencing class. Oh, but I guess my birthday's on that Friday. Hope I don't sleep through it.

What a lame entry this be.

When I get back to the states I want to eat nothing but fruits and vegetables. All I've been eating for the past week is freeze-dried soup packets, fried chicken and nikuman. With the occasional choco-melon pan thrown in... >.
Second:

I am now the proud owner of a free, previously unreleased D single called Ultimate Lover. And I saw a guy wearing lipstick, foundation and normal-style eyeliner (not gothic). I just love live shows!

Third:

The quickest way to confuse fangirls is try to teach them new parapara to a song they've never heard before. If you don't know what parapara is, it's basically set dances to certain songs that the audience does while you sing.

Fourth:

If anyone has a recent photo of me (and no, I'm not talking about those from my facebook fan club... don't ask) please let me know. My mom always sends them in the christmas cards, but I'm not there to have one taken this year. I didn't realize that pictures of me were so rare.

Fifth:

Drink DD Lemon! 50 bands worth of Visual Kei in every can!

EDIT: Sixth:

I remembered that this is why I updated as I reached the thirdfloor landing. I was thinking of writing a new fic. I think I can actually finish this one too, but I probably won't start it until I get back home. Again, I'm writing it primarily for me, but I will post it as I get it done. It's probably going to be called Final Fantasy IV-II.

Kara and I single handedly made Thanksgiving dinner for twelve people. Of course, most of my contributions were cleaning and peeling potatoes, but I did make my homemade chicken noodle soup and some of my mom's sage stuffing... Van, Thuan and Nikki were kind enough to pick up some chicken from KFC (heaven forbid you find a whole chicken in this country). Dinner consisted of the following:

Sage Stuffing
Macaroni and Cheese
Experimental Green Beans
Mashed Potatoes
Chicken Noodle Soup
KFC Chicken
and for dessert Chocolate Cheesecake

Though I was cooking for four hours it was really fun and made my day. I hope your holiday is as good as mine was, and I'll see you at Christmas!

Ahem, now that that's out of the way, I'd also like to say that today might be one of the best days of my life, and Ramon is probably one of the nicest people I have ever known.

I am now the proud owner of the Complete Guide to Final Fantasy 5, and that means I am now also the proud owner of the poster I was looking for, an insert in the front cover of the guide.

Oh. My. God.

So even though I can't read the guide, I don't need to understand Japanese to get this: [link] (for some reason it won't let me link directly to the pic, so if you're interested please select the thumbnail entitled Final Fantasy V, and then go to the first thumbnail in the second row entitled Lenna and Faris)

In case you're just tuning in, it's been my life's mission to find this poster while I'm in Japan. The game FFV is being rereleased for GBA and the advertisement they were using was a fullsize poster of this picture (by Yoshitaka Amano) and I asked every vendor I came across if I could buy it. Of course I got turned away, but just recently, since the game came out sometime this last month (or late October, I don't really remember) I haven't seen the poster anywhere! I bet all the stores just threw them away! What a waste, but now I have it in miniature and can successfully return to America.

(oh, and just in case, both of those characters are female, but unslashable because they are sisters. Even I won't go there.)

So, this morning I woke up at 6:30 (shimaimashita...) and I decided to make "curry" for breakfast. I say "curry" because anyone who has had Japanese curry knows that it is so mild, even I, the one who hates anything spicy, can eat it. Anyway, I set some rice to boil and went to the 7-11 for the curry mix.

Lalala, across the train tracks I skipped and down the alley. I crossed the main street on that side and into the 7-11 I went! I circled the store for a while because I am retarded and couldn't find the mix, even though there was an entire endcap devoted to the various flavors and only 3 aisles in the entire store... Anyway, I bought my mix along with a few other things (like French Salad flavored Pringles, which are oishiiawase) and started to make my way back.

I crossed the street again and made my way back up the alley where I noticed a little Akita dog following me. While I waited for a train before I could cross the tracks, the dog and I had a moment. Then the bars lifted and I started to cross the tracks. Much to my dismay, the dog slowly and haltingly started to follow me. Across the train tracks. Now, in Japan, at least at Mukogaoka-yuen, trains come about once every minute, so I stopped (in the middle of the tracks) and told him to stay (in English >.<. Obviously he didn't understand, so I walked back toward his side of the track and shooed him away.

That's when I noticed the bars of the tracks had already lowered. I turned around and sprinted across the tracks just in time to watch a "Romance Car" from Hakone zoom past.

Geezus!

I went to this video game store (one of THOUSANDS!) and there was this huge display for FFV Advanced! I wanted one of the posters SOOOOOOO badly! Rawr!

(Oh, in case I never said, it is my life's mission to find a fullsized poster for FFV Advanced)

I'm thinking that after it is out for a while, the vendors will sell the posters they have, so I will keep checking! (After, they may put up ones for FFVI Advanced since it's coming out soon too, so you can bet I'll be after one of those as well!)

In a nutshell, so to speak, Akihabara is love, but today is for Harajuku.

It made me laugh because it almost happened to me ^^

Sometimes life really sucks, but then it happens and when you look back on it, you realize that the view still isn't that great. But you know? Even though I had the worst summer to date in my love life, I just laughed at this song.

I thought to myself, running down the stairs, "hahaha, a love affair would be interesting."

And then I thought "Been there, done that." And I just had to laugh. Sometimes, life really really sucks, but if my laughter makes other people laugh a little bit (as I entered the computer room) then maybe it's not too bad, ne?

Min - Ureshiiawase
Which translates roughly to "happily contented" from grafting "ureshii" onto "shiawase." Just about any positive adjective that ends in "shii" can be used in this manner.

Oishiiawase
"deliciously contented" used mostly in relation to food, obviously. (my personal favorite)

Subarashiiawase
"wonderfully contented" (however we have yet to get this one approved)

Please use them generously.

I think I am obsessed with Yoshitaka Amano, the conceptual artist of the Final Fantasy games (and about a thousand other things, like Vampire Hunter D). I heard a rumour that he designs kimono, but they`re probably freaking expensive.

I have a lot of free time on the weekends, since I don`t like to drink, so I`ve been spending it here on the computer looking up stuff about Final Fantasies VI and below. (It turns out the pic on my desktop that I thought was Edgar, then thought was Bartz, is actually a woman from FFIV...) Along with these random articles goes searches for original artwork and death for Amano.

The picture above is actually a costume/set design for a traditional play. Dunno what, or who, but I thought it was really nice.

"The GazettE?"
"Ah!! GazettE!"

"Kagrra?"
"Daisukiiii!"

"Kra?"
At this point she showed me that she had purchased *both* versions of the new Kra singles (that were released the first day I got here, but I have yet to find). She also showed me a ticket to the only Kra concert scheduled between now and January. She told me that next time we both had free time we should go to Shinjuku (where she got the cds).

After I revived, we discussed more about Kra and other PSCompany bands (and some others like An Cafe...). Then she recieved a call from a friend (I pressume) and told me that she was actually going to go to Shinjuku that moment, so if I wanted her to pick up one or both of the cds, I could just ask.

I asked. Then we discussed which one (one version has a music video, one has an extra song) and then she told me that if you buy both versions, you get a free ticket to their concert in October. It was death on a stick. I promptly handed her $40 and shoved her out the door.

If this works, and if I go to this concert, I think I`ll have done everything I`ll have set out to do in life and can die peacefully. *.*

Video game convention. In Tokyo. `Nuff said.

Oh, and for those of you who want to kill me, don`t worry, I`m pretty sure I`ve seen everything after today. I`m prepared ~.^

I got a pamphlet for the Princess Princess video game,
played Harvest Moon for the DS (which I have to buy, now.), and
saw enough cute girls in skimpy video game clothes to make my eyes glaze over.

For Jake: I saw the entire voice cast of Negima on stage singing.
For Lychee: I met and befriended Gundam Kiwi (she`s in this program)
For BlackLillian: I almost took a picture of the cute Axel (there was a not-so-cute one) but I was too embarrassed. (female)
For Annie: oh, you`ve got lots of adorable little things coming your way.

For anyone: I took SO MANY PICTURES of the cute girls in skimpy clothes. I was right there jockying for position among the stinky, fat echi Japanese nerds making semi-circles around girls.

It was Japan. There were a lot of dating games. It was Japan. There were a lot of GUY x GUY dating games. ~.^

I am now the proud owner of NIL. Velvet case. DVD insert. Love.

I went to a game shop and I found sooooooo many used gameboy games (varying GBA, Color and Original). I also found Final Fantasy Chronicals for the PS. That`s the version that rereleased VI, and released V for the first time.

I am waiting to go to the really cheap shop Katie told me about to get a GBA, since even at this store they were $50.

Um, OH YEAH! (I was like, what did I do today?) I went to a (nobody kill me for this please!) high school culture festival. I cannot begin to describe the multitude of cute girls in uniforms (and the guys too, that was funny). Oh, also I saw a guy with a Louis Vitton (?) purse. A guy with a purse. As if it was the most normal thing ever. (the american teacher guy who invited us said that they`re even proud to carry them, like girls and their name brands!)

So yeah. Japan is awesome. I think people should sleep during the day and only come out at night. Japan at night is an experience. It is love.

But I got up, found my new friend (who also was wide awake at that ungodly hour) and we went to explore the neighborhood. We went to this bakery, first off, and then like, everywhere else. We even went up to the area`s shrine, but it was... closed or something. No one was there and all the doors to everything were shut. But it was still all shrine-like XD

That was on the way back though. While we were perusing the shops, of which there were many little cute ones! we saw two big buildings that are department stores, or some kind of mini malls. Both were closed. It was still only 8 or 9 by that time. I had a lot of fun looking.

Last night, we drove RIGHT BY Tokyo Tower. I was like "hey!" but then we kept getting closer and CLOSER, and then like, whoa! It was right there! HUGE and all lit up and wonderful. Reminded me of a sad fic I once read. (it also made me think of the Bebop movie...) But it was an experience. (we were being escorted from the airport by a bus... there were 18 or so of us, but most are from Nebraska of all places o.O)

I found a friend that would be more than willing to go to a Gazette concert if we can ever figure out how to read the kanji of WHERE THEY`RE PLAYING. T.T (she was also in ARH209, so you might know her, Lychee) We might go to Kyoto for our 8-day vacation, too. XD

So yeah. I will try not to post extremely long entries everyday... try is the key word, but I`m excited and exhausted which makes me ramble. w00t! ]]> ~Ergo-the-God http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/10000415/ http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/10000415/ Thu, 07 Sep 2006 15:55:45 PDT .< Don't hate me for loving it so much. I was thinking about changing the first couple paragraphs earlier today, but then I thought I should just take it down for a while, maybe redo it completely with original characters. I was thinking of writing out a lot of the one-shots I've had floating in my head and then stringing them all together, since I really have no patience for writing long fics and never do them very well. Oh, I also lost ALL of my Utena Sailor Moon cross, tears, I know, but it was the first fic I had ever written, so it meant a lot ot me. Actually the stuff I have up here on dA is a revision >.< but I lost both versions. Sadness. We'll just have to see what I can come up with now that I have nothing else to - OH MY GOD! My yaoi original is gone, too! Oh, I was really fond of that one! I hate my computer so much. Don't get viruses. They are not fun. ]]> ~Ergo-the-God http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/9993857/ http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/9993857/ Wed, 06 Sep 2006 22:27:59 PDT .< and yes, I think that is the *perfect* excuse as to why I can't focus on writing right now. I have a couple ideas in mind, none of which are fanfictions, so hopefully I'll be able to start *something* soon... god knows I have the time for it now that my class is over. Which I got A's in!!! *dances for bringing up GPA, which really needed a boost!*

I dunno, I'm kinda going lame on my writing. I do it for me, right? But I feel like I need to go to a workshop or something to get some tangible critiques, things that I can focus on doing better specifically, or maybe just some clear instruction on what not to do. I mean, I like my writings, but I know they could be better. I just can't really see what to do to make them better. That's probably why I haven't been writing. If I can make the whole story in my head, I see no reason for putting it on paper. It's there for me, but I just haven't been able to focus on plots and developements. Blarg, I can barely *read* right now, let alone write. However, I think I'm in love with Virginia Woolf. I think that's why I haven't finished Mrs. Dalloway yet, it's kind of like why I haven't beaten FFVI... I love it to much for it to end. I was so sad when I finished The Fountainhead (ayn rand), so I think it's ruined me for finishing things that I really like. That sounds stupid, doesn't it?

(did I say a couple of ideas? Now that I think about it, I can only really remember one that I would release on dA... w00t for bad memory! I'm really sorry I haven't updated in like... MONTHS, but I'll really try before I leave for Japan later this month!) ]]> ~Ergo-the-God http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/9813447/ http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/9813447/ Tue, 22 Aug 2006 13:39:19 PDT .
Guess what we found in my bedroom last night? A real, live Hobo Spider. Now, for those of you who don't know what that is, I invite you to take a look at some of the pictures they have on Google. It looks *exactly* like the picture of the male and displays all the nasty characteristics. (we think it arrived via Larissa's boxes from Sunday) The good news: it's very territorial and very dead.

I'm going hooooooome this weekend, even though I'll be alone in the house til Sunday. I'll be home up until KumoriCon, so w00t for free food and laundry! I really have no desire to sleep in a spider infested room for the next couple of weeks, but I've also been planning on this for a while. Look me up, my peeps in GB!!

EDIT: Actually I just figured out I'll be going to my uncle's wedding this weekend instead, but I will be home all week before KumoriCon, so catch me sometime then ^^ ]]> ~Ergo-the-God http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/9650097/ http://Ergo-the-God.deviantart.com/journal/9650097/ Tue, 08 Aug 2006 14:54:46 PDT
dA = 1
Writers = 0

I'm pissed off. I have to pull all of my deviations and resubmit them to get the formatting back to normal! My featured story is one big block of text! No paragraphs, not even hints that there used to be! I don't do art on this site, every thing I have on here is a story that is now completely ruined! I have to pull everything right now before anyone looks at it. They'll think I'm a moron for not seperating two characters' speech!

What the hell, dA. What the hell!

(Kono has just informed me that they screwed up her stories too, so I know it's not just me) ]]> ~Ergo-the-God
