                <description><![CDATA[ For all those 1 people who read my journal, you might know i'm a rookie games and consoles collector. I have quite a collection building, and managed to get my hands on a few cool things this week.<br /><br />First off was a Nes Top-loading system. I'd been looking casually for one, since they're cool but good old cashconverters... you can always count on them to not know how to price things properly because they were selling it for $60, bargain!<br /><br />Second haul was a whole motherload of Commodore 64 stuff that my girlfriends dad got off a guy he works with. Not just disks, but a bunch of games still in boxes near-mint, controllers and apparently possibly an Atari 2600 as well if he can find it, also with a bunch of games.<br /><br />Woot! On a side note, i'm also casually trying to build a website devoted to retro stuff, expect it up in a few years maybe <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /><br /><br />(nobody cares)<br /><br />oh and I have a cold, fuck.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Bored so i'm making a console wishlist for fun.<br /><br />WISHLIST!<br /><br />	- Sega Saturn<br />	- Sega Nomad<br />	- NES Top loader<br />	- Neo Geo Pocket Colour<br /><br />Been on the hunt for a Saturn for a while, found one but it has no controllers and is overpriced. Save me Ebay! Sega Nomad on the other hand is a little harder to come by, with only 1m sold overall they're rare and expensive. Still, it'll be mine one day.<br /><br />Nes Top Loaders are all over the place but expensive, I want one because it's region free, so import NES carts would be less of a problem. As for the Neo Geo Pocket Colour, it's been on my wishlist for a while, simply because I want one.<br /><br />There's a bunch of others too but less wanted, Colecovision and Intellivision, atari 7800 are among that list, but that's for another time.<br /><br />Send me your old systems <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a short journal because i'm bored before work. Since i've moved and started getting paid, i'm ammassing a collection of game consoles, woo.<br /><br />So far plugged into my lovely widescreen LCD TV at the foot of my bed I have:<br /><br />NES<br />Playstation<br />Nintendo 64<br />Nintendo Wii<br /><br />Not plugged in is my Gamecube, but that doesn't count because of my Wii but I want it for the Gameboy Player in it.<br /><br />I've also managed to get back a few handhelds of mine, namely the old Atari Lynx which I bought at a bargain price, and I found a fully working Sega Game Gear at a toy fair recently, complete with a bunch of games, most crappy but it has Sonic 2 so that's all that matters. Even has the Master System game converter, which I also have lying around somewhere.<br /><br />Must get more. MORE. I also want to get some games for them all, got a few, but my NES only has Kirby, which is awesome though.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm not saying i'm old, but it's... wierd to look back on my last 10 years or so. It feels like only yesterday that I was a member of a little internet forum, chatting it up with good friends on AIM and making funny little games, my life now was little more than a dream (or nightmare in some parts *coughwork* ) on the horizon.<br /><br />I'm not sad that things turned out the way they have for me, i've just celebrated 2 wonderful years with my girlfriend, i've finally got a job, albeit a job I don't REALLY like, i've got a car, i'm living out of home, life's moving along for me, but as I say, it's odd to see all these people I knew a good 10 years ago suddenly flitting off to their own lives too.<br /><br />Here's looking at you, the old "MFGG" crew, you know who you are, good luck in your future years because by now you're probably all grown up just like me.<br /><br />Time for bed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey it's a journal update on that place nobody reads or cares about. Really writing journals is just a vent.<br /><br />So life's going fairly good right now. I've got a job and living away from home, stuff people do when they get older. Work is okay, I work in a printing place where they make stickers, right now i'm doing more manual stuff like running the machines but it's still fairly interesting. I'm hoping to get some art-room work later though, my boss has said I will eventually, but for now it's printing for me. The pay isn't bad though, it's nothing to write home about but i'm saving as much as I can. Saving for a house actually, but I won't go into that until I know more.<br /><br />In other news my girlfriend and I bought Guitar Hero III for the Wii and have been playing the heck out of it. I have to say I was pretty skeptical that i'd even be able to get past the easy difficulty but we've near mastered Medium and are hoping to get onto Hard mode soon. It's hard though but it's incredibly fun in my opinion, we're loving it. Shame there's no downloadable content on the Wii version.<br /><br />No art as usual, but i'm feeling a bit depressed about that actually. Kind of wanting to get back into it somehow... maybe I should just force myself to draw. I might buy some new paper actually and just scribble, I don't have any drawing stuff around me at all so maybe to encourage myself I need pencils and paper on my desk and ready? I'd honestly love to draw something new!<br /><br />Anyway, off to work I suppose.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well since my last Journal was titled 2008 I felt it appropriate to have it similar but different... if that makes sense.<br /><br />So it's 2008 and definitely the year of the Rat, of which I am by the way. I knew it'd be a biggish year but it's certainly started off with a bit of a bang. Biggest point of news for me is I finally have a job! I start this Tuesday as a matter of fact, it's nothing huge or really what I would like to do, but it's the foot in the door I needed and i'm happy enough with that, hopefully it'll lead to bigger and better things in the months and years to come!<br /><br />Another smaller point of news is apparently i'm getting a kitten, though it wasn't my choice really, my sister just told me "I got you a Kitten!" after I looked after her dogs for a few days. Odd choice in a gift if you ask me, but that's kinda cool. Only downside is I have to move in with my sister now because of this job, and I don't like the idea of a kitten and 2 yappy dogs being in the same house, not to mention i'll be living with my sister and her fiance, which just doesn't seem right to me.<br /><br />But it's all good, this year's gonna be exciting, and this is only the start!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's a whole new year! Well that's all good and well I think, my last few weeks have been pretty eventful and uneventful at the same time.<br />
<br />
Christmas was okay, got some great new things from family including a pretty awesome DVD / Music player for my room, it's so tiny but so packed with features. Tested it and it works great. Other things from family include a lamp, some Discworld books, some great stuff for my car including the ever classic Fluffy Dice, you heard me!<br />
<br />
Since I didn't get to see Gen on Christmas we decided to spend New Years together in place of Christmas, so I had everyone kicked out of the house for the weekend. I also cooked my first Barbecue which would've been tastier were it not cooked in 40Âºc heat! It was still nice though. She got me an awesome Space Invaders tshirt but it didn't fit so we had to swap it for a less Videogamey but still awesome one. Also a coffee plunger kit, which I happen to be enjoying right now, and the highlight was an awesome Wii Docking station. Basically it has 2 Wii-mote slots to sit your remotes in and they auto-charge, and a flashy blue up-light all around the side. Highly recommended to those with a Wii who're sick of using up batteries every week, I love the thing.<br />
<br />
As I said it's 2008, this year might be a very exciting and adventurous one for me. This year I hope will be the year I manage to get work, and from there we have the start of what I hope will be great things. I'm planning on moving this year, so here's hoping that'll become a plausible reality! It's definitely on the top of my resolutions for this year.<br />
<br />
Aside from that, hope everyone had a good [insert Xmas-like holiday here] and a great New Years.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't submitted anything in SOOOOO long >_< Ah well.<br />
<br />
Space filler journal for me to ramble off my life-happenings so far. In good news a few weeks ago I passed my driving test so I can legally drive my car on my OWN, hurrah, it only took me to the age of 23 to do that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> Of course as with a lot of things I owe it to my Gen for pushing me (literally sometimes! ) to get the darn thing. <br />
<br />
Though i've had a car now for a good many months... I THINK early this year around February sometime. It's a metallic green Daewoo Lanos, maybe i'll take a pic of it and put it up on DA for all to see. I've driven it a lot now, picked up Gen this weekend to take her out, it's awesome I can do that now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> So long, public transport!!<br />
<br />
In bad news, job hunting still not going well. I think by now i've literally applied for hundreds of places, and the most i've heard back is 4 or 5 interviews, and a few phonecalls, both of which end with "we'll get back to you" or something similar and in only 2 cases have I heard anything back, which was "we currently have no place for you at this time" or something similar. Aieee, but i'll keep trying, hope to have a job sometime next year so I can plan on moving out of this place. <br />
<br />
In gaming news, getting psyched for Mario Galaxy a bit, it's coming out this month in Australia, so that's awesome. Hope to have it and be able to play it, i'm at the stage of avoiding videos and posts on forums about it so as not to spoil it. Oh and Dedede in Smash Bros = awesome.<br />
<br />
The end, get back to your lives you lot.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sure half the internet knows about this by now but Sonic was just announced in Super Smash Bros: Brawl. It's every fanboy and girl's dream come true, forget this Olympic game rubbish, it's true Mario VS Sonic action. Now all they have to do is do him some justice, but by the looks of the trailer on the Dojo they've done just that, he looks absolutely rockin'<br />
<br />
Oh and then add in Shadow as his obligatory clone character, so we can do Sonic VS Shadow as well.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After fighting many an enemy and completing a special birthday quest or two, apparently I turned 23 on October 1st, though I wouldn't really know! Family was all out for the weekend but I still had a good birthday, had ~<a class="u" href="http://gen8hedgehog.deviantart.com/">geN8hedgehog</a> around for a few days, she took me out to a movie and got me awesome stuff including a birthday cake and a kickass little spider mech, it was all good! We've had a busy couple of weeks really! Lots has happened in such a short time but I won't go into details.<br />
<br />
By the way, Ratatouille or however you spell it is a pretty great movie if you like the usual Pixar stuff, which I do.<br />
<br />
In other news i've been applying and looking for work on a near daily basis, though thus far i've only had one job interview which i'm still waiting to hear back from, it's been almost a week >_< Life's still pretty much on hold as far as this is concerned. There's been a lot of rumblings about moving out and such, I think if I do manage to score a job the first place i'll have to move move is in with my sister for a while, learn to be independent and all that, then i'll see where I go from there.<br />
<br />
In some sadder news my other cat Moose (technically my sisters cat) died on September 29th, her liver was failing and she had to be put down. This leaves me pet-less for the first time in my life I believe, save for a dog outside that isn't mine (and I hate dogs anyway). <br />
<br />
Hmmm what else? Haven't been playing anything, aside from World of Warcraft still. No Wii games have interested me in the slightest, though I may buy Super Paper Mario which has finally made its way to our shores, or Sonic Rush Adventure for the DS, since it's getting a little dusty. Kind of excited for Zelda Phantom Hourglass too, first DS game i've looked forward to in a while. It's getting difficult to be excited about games these days though, guess i'm not really as much into them as I used to be, but who knows, that may change when things that are WORTH IT start coming out eh? I AM excited for Half Life 2: Episode 2 though.<br />
<br />
Anyway nobody cares but that's my life for the masses to read, woot!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ : On hold<br />
<br />
I had a job interview yesterday, first one ever. Well I failed it, and I found out I failed it a good few hours after i'd taken it. Reasons for failing this interview? The guy hiring couldn't see me staying on there for a long time, and get this, he wanted to hire someone younger than me so he could pay them minimum wage.<br />
<br />
I'm pissed off and disappointed because a boss would rather save a buck hiring a posh highschool girl who's most likely going to quit because she doesn't want her hands dirty, than give someone like me an honest chance at making something of his future.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately this failed job intervew made me realise how pidgeon holed my prospects have become. I'm not an artist, sure I draw and do 3D but it's not my passion anymore. I never scribble or draw random things like most passionate artists do, so drawing isnt my field, and while I could work in areas of digital media, there's simply not enough out there that i'm even qualified for, because I don't KNOW enough. 3D work is out of the question because it's near impossible to break into that in this stupid country, and the longer I go without having a chance there, the more the field is advancing and leaving my skills firmly in the dust.<br />
<br />
Where does that leave me? Well the facts say that 90% of the jobs I seem to try find require experience, even basic RETAIL seems to need retail experience and i'll be fucking blowed if I can figure that out, how do you get experience there if you can't even get yourself hired? All that time spent learning art and digital media was a waste of time that could better have been spent getting a job while I still gave the impression I was young enough for them. Only one good thing came from that course and that's my girlfriend.<br />
<br />
I'm too old now to even consider the rock bottom job working at a crappy fast food place and flip burgers for a living for the same reasons as I failed this interview, they want young pretty faces they can dole out minimum wage to, not a 23 year old overweight jobless git.<br />
<br />
This basically leaves me at a dead end for what I can do. I'm searching everyday for SOMETHING, because I need a job and I want money and I want to start moving forward with a life that's currently on hold. I've got big plans in mind for my future but they're starting to fade into nothing more than dreams because I can't even seem to get an honest break.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so after E3, i'd have to say my faith in the Wii has risen slightly. So there's not a LOT to see yet, but Super Mario Galaxy has certainly raised my expectations of what COULD come, that game looks absolutely gorgeous and seems like it plays just as good and<br />
Metroid Prime is also another big game for me, i'm a big fan of the Prime series and Metroid in general.<br />
<br />
Mario Kart though was a big let down. After seeing how pretty Metroid and Mario are, I thought the next Mario Kart installment would up the graphics capabilities with bump mapping and eye candy and particles all over the place, but what we got was Mario Kart: Single Dash, the graphics have barely improved at all and while some would say graphics don't matter, for me they can play a big part in making you feel immersed, just look at F-Zero GX for the Gamecube.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping the game has something awesome about it. I know online will be a good selling point for a lot of people but it'd BETTER be better than the DS version, and by that I mean ALL tracks and less jerkoffs snaking the entire track because stats are more important than a good fun race.<br />
<br />
On a sidenote, after seeing Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3, i'd have to say this is the first time in a LONG time i've been excited to play a new game, and literally giddy to want to get my hands on it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok so it's come to my attention that my last uploaded picture was FOUR frickin' months ago. I can't really say that I haven't been lazy, I do have excuses, getting licence, looking for work, depression from failing to get both and probably a bunch of other things but a lot of which also comes down to general laziness as well as lack of motivation due to lack of work in this field.<br />
<br />
So i'm thinking I should try draw or get back into 3D, at least a LITTLE. I really enjoyed drawing and while I wasn't all that GOOD at it, it was a good little release, same for 3D.<br />
<br />
So throw some ideas my way of what to draw or make in 3D. I might do something, I might not, but I wanna get back my creativeness.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So today, July 1st at 4:15am (don't ask) ~<a class="u" href="http://gen8hedgehog.deviantart.com/">geN8hedgehog</a> and I have officially been a couple for 1 year. It's been a fantastic year together, lots of truly unforgettable happy memories and I couldn't have asked for a better person to have shared them with. <br />
<br />
We've had our ups and downs like all couples but we've always come out the end of them stronger than ever, so with that, i'd like to say a huge "I LOVE YOU and Happy Anniversary" to her, and hope everyone wishes us both many more happy July 1st's to come!<br />
<br />
I intended to write a lot more but i'll save it ^^ In other news, I have no news. Not playing anything but World of Warcraft because the Wii is full of suck right now, job hunting sux and nobody ever gets back to me when I email them, driving instructors are evil heathens and that's all I have, bye for now ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...getting really sick of the current LACK of games coming out? Seems all these systems launched and yay it was crazy mayhem and excitement, but then... nothing but tumbleweeds and boredom. <br />
<br />
Ever since the Wii came out i've been regretting my decision to get the darn thing because there's been absolutely no games that've come out that have interested me. I see a lot of games on the horizon, but the lack of any NEWS on those games is annoying me too, and i'm a little bit tired of having this perfectly good and apparently unique gaming system sitting in my room not doing anything.<br />
<br />
Even the virtual console is stale, because Nintendo refuses to release any of the good first party games, like Kirby's Super Star or Super Metroid. And the DS seems to have hit its dry spell too, all the high profile games have come and gone, and now we're either waiting for things like Zelda or Sonic, or waiting to see if any announcements come for sequels or new games.<br />
<br />
And then there's the PS3, PC and probably XBox, which all seem to be stale as well. For a system launch it's sure been a crappy one, so who else is sick of no games and wants more? I'm feeling like this total lack of games is... making me lose my interest in games altogether. I don't have that feeling of excitement when I read or hear about new games now. Anyone else feel this way?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As of tonight I feel i've officially given up all hope of ever becoming an artist. I just don't feel like I have what it takes to get work in any field of art, whether it's 2D or 3D. I look at the work i've done and I don't feel confident, I feel disgusted because I know it's not as good as it needs to be. <br />
<br />
With every passing day my motivation dies with my ability to be creative or artistic, and i'm finding myself less and less able to be confident where I need to be, to be able to feel like I have a shot in the industry.<br />
<br />
I simply can't compete. I look around at those who have jobs in the art industry, at what they've achieved and what they've done to get where they are and I know i'll never be able to reach that goal. 3D and 2D art feel like hobbies to me, I look at my work and compare it to the REAL artists and all I can see is something I feel like i've done because I was bored, nothing that i've done because I had a real passion for it. Sure I may have felt like it at the time, but I just can't see it ever being good enough.<br />
<br />
And in feeling like this, it occurs to me that others must feel the same because through all the people i've known, i've only known one who has ever believed in me, and without someone to believe in me or to help push me or motivate me, I just can't find it in myself to believe I can do it. There was a time when I thought I could do it but it's a dying dream for me.<br />
<br />
I think i'm doomed to a life in retail, it's not what I want, but everyday I look for jobs and find i'm simply not qualified, or feel totally useless or wasted, it brings me down further and saps what little motivation I have left, and I can't live like that. I want a better future.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry to all my watchers for not submitting anything drawn or 3D or whatever for a fair while, even my latest deviation was created long before I submitted it.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />
<br />
I'm busy with TAFE right now, currently I have 3 or 4 weeks left of my course and then i'm done ^^ I'll have my Advanced Diploma, and be ready (in theory) for work and job hunting. Unfortunately i'm just not really motivated to do any art until i'm done with my course.<br />
<br />
Hmmm, not sure what else to say, also having a busier social life (which makes a change <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />), which is a good thing and another thing keeping me busy, but not really an excuse for me being lazy  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Keep watching though, i'm sure i'll have some new stuff up SOON if I can.<br />
<br />
And also thanks to my latest watchers for watching me in the first place ^^ Watch this space. ]]></description>

Thanks to everyone who watches and comments on my stuff, it's always appreciated, even if it's just an "awesome" or a full, in-depth critique, I always appreciate something said. Hopefully my gallery continues to offer something people can enjoy. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm almost at 10,000 pageviews, it's taken long enough. Not sure if I want to draw or model something for it, or draw something for whoever gets it. I still owe <a href="http://goldwater.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/goldwater.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="goldwater" /></a> something for my 5000th, even though he said I didn't. Bah, too lazy I am.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah and something i've noticed, people don't thank each other for favourites anymore. Is this just me or what? I know I thank everyone who fav's my stuff (if they're not on my watch list that is)<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I never really enjoy Christmas, though we had a good one 2 years ago, this one will be a very boring one. <br />
<br />
Half the family has decided that coming down to the City for Xmas is too much hassle, so the only family we'll have will be me, my brother and sister, and mum, plus my mum's boyfriend and a bunch of people from his side of the family, there's going to be more of his family than there will be ours.<br />
<br />
Given that I don't really get along with them, I can't really see this year being much of an Xmas, since i'd rather spend it with my family than them. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm going on a 5 day holiday tomorrow, and i'm going to hate it I know it.<br />
<br />
It'll be on a houseboat, with a bunch of family on my side, as well as on my mum's boyfriends side, so there'll be around 10 of us in all, most of which I don't talk to anyway. The only good part of this deal is I get a room to myself on the thing, where I intend to spend most of my time. <br />
<br />
While there, I want to finish a few DS and GBA games i've been putting off completing, as well as trying to do a little more art. I have printed pics of Link, Ganondorf and Vaati (in Windwaker / Four Swords / Minish Cap style), as well as some Dark Samus pics and Chaos 0, so you MIGHT be able to expect some art of them, since i'll be without a computer to distract me for 5 days, something I know i'm going to miss...<br />
<br />
While i'm away, give me LOTS of comments and favs, yes you, the current visitor to my page, do it now. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As of today, I have offically completed my Diploma of Screen (Game Art), as well as my Cert IV last year, and I have passed all aspects of the Diploma. I'm a little upset that I didn't really pass with flying colours, but at the same time, happy that I managed to pass at all, given my severe lack of artistic experience in all areas.<br />
<br />
Now for a 3 month break, after which I will begin my Advanced Diploma in Screen, which is essentially the same kind of thing i'm guessing, but far harder, so I will have to apply myself better than I did these last 6 months. During this break, I hope to keep up my skills and such, so you can probably expect art from me in both 2D and 3D forms if it matters to anyone <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ To move on from my last journal, I decided to post a happier one, which is about Sonic Rush.<br />
<br />
For those of you who have a DS, I urge you to buy this game. It's become an instant favorite Sonic game for me. Excellent level design, great sense of speed, and Blaze has moved up to become one of my favorite characters, right next to Cream. Also has really good special stages (which get quite hard towards the end), and the BEST music in a Sonic game for a long time. And the true end of the game is touching too.<br />
<br />
I have a piece of art in mind based on Sonic Rush too, so keep an eye out whenever I get the time.<br />
<br />
So who has the game? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alas, it is true, multiple people have said it to be so. I am not worthy to be in the presence of those who are greater than I am, lest I be cast down with insults and hurtful remarks to my rightful place at the bottom rung of societies ladder.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Todays question is this:<br />
<br />
What is your most succesful deviation?<br />
<br />
Mine is Mushroom Kingdom 3D <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/view/22270106/">[link]</a> With:<br />
58 Comments<br />
65 Favorites<br />
And a total of 718 views<br />
<br />
I think it's my most succesful because it's nostalgic, but brings that into a newer look, in this case, 3D, and people like that kind of thing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Not that it's a big issue, but i've crawled my sorry ass back to DA, it's the only place I have to put my art until I get a website or somewhere else. I've been doing a lot of incredibly stupid and damaging things lately, which I may be forgiven for by others, but i'll be damned if I can forgive myself. All I can really do is hope the ripples i've caused will smooth over somewhat. There's a lot of individual reasons for why I keep attacking people, but I wish I could find an explanation for the whole core of my behaviour lately. There is SOMETHING there in the back of my mind that I just can't figure out, and that's probably the most irritating part of it, I need some peace of mind but I can't get that until I can figure out what's been bothering me.<br />
<br />
But alas I am rambling, no sense daydreaming. Sorry for any concern I may have caused, that was the last thing I intended. To be honest, I didn't expect anyone to notice i'd even gone.<br />
<br />
I won't waste the rest of this journal with details on small aspects of my life that people don't read, so i'll end it here.<br />
<br />
Edit: I will bore you with ONE minor detail. I bought Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It rules. I suggest all with a DS buy it. Now. NOW. ]]></description>
