Carbonated Water

( Fuck yeah Transformers meme )

Fffff I want to put Megatron in Betrayed for some reason. I'd almost be willing to do that ridiculous humanized bullshit. Maybe if other TFs were there. Maybe. Maybe not. I actually have to start RPing before I consider throwing characters in games.

Haha I convinced my 8-year-old cousin yesterday that Megatron and Starscream were in love. He's like, "Um but Megatron killed him," and I'm like, "Yeah well Megatron's crazy and crazy people do stupid things to the ones they love. They're still in love though." I think I actually managed to convince him, even though he lives in the bible belt of Texas and can't fathom the idea of two people of the same gender being in love. Then again, when I was 8, I never thought of it either and probably would have had a same reaction. Eh, whatever.

I bought this adorable hair-clip yesterday for three bucks. It's a big wooden hair clip shaped like two fish and I think it'll look good in my beautiful curly hair. (Shush I like my hair.)

Have a dumb meme.

1) Who are you?
2) Are we friends?
3) When and how did we meet?
4) Give me a nickname and explain why.
5) Describe me in 1 word.
6) What was your first impression of me?
7) Do you still think the same?
8) What reminds you of me?
9) If you could give me anything, what would it be?
10) How well do you know me?
11) Are you gonna put this in your journal and see what I say about you?
12) Would you meet up with me?

ROLEPLAYME!

( my thread: here! )


Wasn't originally gonna do this because I don't want to encourage any flamers, but whatever, go ahead and amuse me.

You know I hate how like on my days off, I feel a need to make the most of the day because I'm all frantic that I have to go to my stupid job tomorrow or whatever. Today is a day off, and so far I've done nothing productive, which is just the way I like it, but at the same time, I feel like I have too many unproductive things to do.

I want to play the Sims 3, but the fucker kept crashing on me. I played some Persona 4, which is starting to get better and better. I finally started doing some of the fighting/action shit instead of the long, annoying 20-billion-hour intro where I'm just watching the screen waiting for an opportunity to, oh, play something? The music in that game is so kick-ass, though.

Also I need to watch Transformers Animated so I can keep up with my friend since she's watching it and I want to be able to make fun of it/fangirl about it with her, but I don't feel like watching it because I'm all like, "HOLY CRAP I ONLY HAVE X NUMBER OF HOURS BEFORE I HAVE TO GO TO BED AND GET UP FOR WORK AND I WANT TO PLAY THE SIMS/PERSONA/WHATEVER. D: D: D:"

This is why I don't want to grow up, because this kind of thing would be my reality for the rest of my life. *sigh* Jobs are stupid. At least I'm cutting my hours back soon. I don't want to get addicted to Persona at the moment, though, because my cousin and her annoying kids from hell are coming up in a couple days, and her annoying kids will be sleeping in the video game room, therefore I will not be able to play video games aside from handhelds and my computer for several days.

FUCKING SIMS 3 STOP CRASHING. :|

I am both amused and WTF at the same time.

You know...

I wish giant robots would be able to fit in the haunted house of Betrayed.

And no, I'm not doing that humanized bullshit.

Also I need to stop spending money. *Goes to order the first season of Transformers G1 since it just came out*

Okay the giddiness is about to wear off so before it wears off I must say...

A;LKAWKRTHAOISEHTE THE NEW TRANSFORMERS MOVIE WAS FUCKING AMAZING OMG!!!!!!11one

My inner fangirl has been renewed and I'm so happy. I was afraid it wouldn't come back.

Okay so. On Tuesday night I spent the night with my friend, but we saw the new Star Trek movie. Holy shit Spock/Kirk. I so ship it. She and I watched some super-gay clips from the original show and wow... no wonder they were like the first slash pairing ever. They... weren't even trying to hide it. So I ship that pretty hard now.

But tonight with my other friend... Transformers. Oh my God. That... was so awesome it's not even funny. Okay the first Transformers movie sucked balls. But this movie made up for it so hard. There was sooooo much gay in the movie. AND THERE WAS SO MUCH MEGATRON/STARSCREAM!!! <3 <3 <3 Starscream's voice was significantly different in this movie - they made it sound more like his G1 and other similar versions, which I liked very much. But holy shit they were so gay together in this movie. I was so happy and my friend and I were squeeing so hard at their scenes. And the twins! The twins were so awesome. AND JETFIRE! Holy shit Jetfire was amazing in this movie. AND SOUNDWAVE!!!!! Unfortunately Soundwave didn't do too much, but at least he was there. And he had tentacles. You know what that means, right?

Um but yeah I shipped Megatron/Sam before, but now I ship it so much more after that one scene in the movie. Holy shit. And like, even Shia LaBoeuf wasn't that bad in this movie. His character didn't drive me insane as much, and I even found his stupid romance with Megan Fox to be cute. Um but there were soooo many gay moments between Simmons and Sam's roommate... whatever the hell his name was.

Bumblebee was adorable as always. And he is so in love with Sam it's not even funny. But um... one thing was that at the end of the other movie, he got his voice back. So... why the hell didn't he talk in this movie? Fucking continuity errors. At least Sam and Mikaela didn't make out on top of him again.

DEVASTATOR. HAD BALLS. No I'm not kidding. He literally had giant balls. It was lolarious. So I guess I was wrong all this time and Transformers do have genitals? >_> Okay no I'm still never going to read sticky!fic but still.

AL;HAWERTHAWET it was so awesome. And they obviously left much, much room for a sequel, which they'll probably make, as this movie is doing incredibly well at the box office, or so I've heard.

Oh Megatron/Starscream... Why did I abandon you for so long? Wryyyyyyy?!?! I hope you'll forgive me. I promise I'll draw lots of fan-art for you. ;_;

Guess who didn't get a wink of sleep last night? That's right... ME!

No, I didn't stay up all night on purpose. I just had bad insomnia. >_> I lay in bed for a couple hours, then played a little DS, then listened to my iPod, and then by that point I only had an hour left before I had to get up for work, so I just played solitare on my iPod until my alarm went off.

Now I have to go to work with absolutely no sleep. Oh joy. This is not going to be a fun day.

At least I got my video card and RAM installed. Now I can finally play the Sims 3 when I get home.

My mom is nice. She heard me get up at 5:30 and turn the bath on, and then she went downstairs to make me breakfast and coffee. That was nice of her; she didn't have to do that. I'm going to need like 10 cups of coffee though. I'll probably stop by Dunkin Donuts before work to get more coffee.

I played the Sims 3 at my friend's house yesterday. While I didn't really play that much of it or enough to form a solid opinion, here's what I think so far:

Okay, so, the Sims 2 was a vast improvement over the Sims 1. So much so that there really wasn't much they could improve upon afterwards. The Sims 3 is an improvement over the Sims 2, but it's only a fraction of the improvement that the Sims 2 was over the Sims 1.

It's fun, but honestly isn't too different so far. Then again, I haven't played enough of it to really say.

I'm waiting for my dad to help me install my RAM and video card since I am dumb at computers and need his help.

I also played Spore at my friend's house, and it's been soooooo long since I last played it, so I want to play it again here. >_> I think I will when I get back from work.

Anyway the weather is finally nice so I'm gonna go swimming now~

Now that my RPing drive is coming back (sort of), I must say...

HOLY SHIT. I NEED TO JOIN salkia_island.

Oh yeah I kind of need to get back into Sumabura *coughs*. It's so hard to keep up with it, though. >_>

HONESTY MEME

Also be honest? Please? If you don't like me and you've been pretending all this time I'd really like to know because lying is bad. :|

Okay I'm finally done with Crystal Defenders - I beat both installments and it was fucking stupid. All it said was like, "Congratulations you saved the crystals!" or something. I wasn't able to beat the bonus stage, but I really don't care.

Apparently the Wii version of Crystal Defenders is completely different than the other versions, though? ...Great. That means if I ever get an iPod touch or something, I'll have to get that one. :|

Anyway, I can finally move onto CC: Echoes of Time. Except I have a God-awful headache right now.

FFFFF there's like an influx of FF5 people on dear_mun and it makes me really happy. It almost makes me want to throw Bartz at that AU game where Faris and Lenna are at, but... a Harry Potter AU does NOT sound appealing to me at all. :|

At least my RP drive is starting to come back. Oh Bartz how I've missed playing you~

Also the epic FF6 cast in one dear_mun post made me happy. I really should put Shadow in a game sometime in the future.

I suddenly feel super-stressed for some reason. I think part of it is Athuria's post about Betrayed people not being active, and I realized that I'm failing at RPing.

I'm going to try to get back to Betrayed. Maybe I'll put up an open log. I do want to do a log with Apollo and Edgeworth and maybe I should start one. Other than that, I feel really bad character-squatting.

I've been looking into other RPs, but my lack of motivation to RP has prevented me from joining them. I've looked into Time and Tides and Luceti, both of which intrigue me somewhat. I don't know if I'll join, but maybe.

Okay I got that off my chest. So... Jive, Mab... logtiemz soon? Phoenix has to apologize, after all. And Mab, I still owe you a private log~ I promise I'll try to come on AIM soon.

Okay so... Crystal Defenders.

DO NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. (Don't buy it either if you have an X-box instead of a Wii.)

Some of you may be like, "Oh it's a sequel to FFTA2 that's so cool I'm gonna download/buy it!" NO. It is the most retarded thing ever (except for Crystal Chronicles). No, it's not difficult (yet). It's just fucking dumb. There's absolutely no story whatsoever.

Now, a story doesn't always make up a game. For instance, the Mario games have minimal story, yet they're some of the greatest games ever made. Crystal Defenders has the fucking dumbest gameplay ever. It's basically a "station your troops and have them attack shit" kind of thing, but it's really poorly executed. There are so many better games for that kind of thing out there. This is the bottom of the barrel.

The only reason you should download this game is if you're a total geek like me and you want to play every FF game ever. :| Otherwise don't ever touch it. Worst $16 spent ever.

Anyway other than that, I finished the Rydia chapter in FFIV: the After. It was good, I suppose, although it left off on a total cliffhanger and I have to wait until fucking July to play the next three(?) chapters.

Anyway, for the After, I have a couple things to say. WARNING FOR SLIGHT SPOILERS: *ahem* Cecil/Kain is still totally OTP. And Kain/Ceodore is also OTP. Except that's weird because Cecil is Ceodore's father so I guess Kain is sleeping with father and son? O_o Kain/Kain is also OTP. Selfcest FTW. I should totally draw some Kain/Kain now for the lol factor.

Oh yeah that reminds me I drew a loltastic Feolthanos/Vaan pic the other night but I still need to scan it and actually look at a reference to see how completely inaccurate I drew them. I dunno. I occupy my boredom by drawing crack pairings. :|

----

I got in trouble at work today. :| Yesterday I apparently accepted two fraudulent coupons and cost the store $10. I had no idea they were frauds, and I got in trouble because there were apparently notices about these two coupons everywhere. Um.. no there weren't. I didn't see any until this morning.

Either way I felt really bad because I try to be a good employee and follow all the rules and let all my coworkers boss me around. :| I didn't really get "in trouble" per se, but I was lectured and I got one of those yellow slips that I had to sign that said that I was talked to for doing something bad.

I'm really quite enjoying FFIV: the After. I couldn't really express that yesterday because I was so angry that I had saved over the game clear data and that I might have to play through the first chapter AGAIN.

Fortunately I was able to download a save file to my Wii so I won't have to play through that again. Now I'm on Rydia's chapter, which is a lot harder because I don't like black magic. MP is precious and I'm paranoid about running out, so I have my characters attack usually. And Rydia's attacks suck balls. When I do use her magic, her MP runs out really quickly. :|

Other than that, I think it's pretty enjoyable. It maintains the feel of the original FFIV very well like a true sequel should. Out of all the sequels to the main FF games, this is probably my favorite. Although it's close to FFX-2, just because I really liked the dress-sphere system. (The story sucked balls, though.) The FFVII sequels can go die in a fire. Revenant Wings was okay.

Now we need an FFVI sequel that maintains the feel of FFVI. Although I don't know if I could stomach it if Celes was in it for more than five seconds. I do not like Celes. :|

Why does FFIV: the After have chapters that are not released right away?!?! Why do I have to wait until July to play the next installments?! ;_; And it won't even finish until September, and I'll be in school by then. :|

Other than that, work is annoying. There was one coworker who was a total bitch to me one day, but today she made an extra effort to be nice to me, so I was kind of confused. Um but there's this other coworker who is a fucking bitch and I hate her.

She's like 60 years old and she bags, and yells at me when I'm scanning items for not putting them down on the belt a certain way. Um... what? Just... what? I'm trying to please her, but nothing I do is working. :| She always finds something wrong with the way I'm scanning items and putting them in the bagging area. Ugh. My suspicion is that since she's like 60 and is working at a crappy minimum wage grocery store, she probably didn't even graduate high school and regrets it so she's being a total bitch to me. The end.

So I played through the base game of FFIV: the After and stuff, and it was cool. Then I downloaded the Rydia chapter and saved over my other file because I thought I was supposed to, but apparently I wasn't supposed to. :| FUCK. I don't want to play through the first chapter again. :| Uggggh.

It looks like I can download a save file for it, though. I don't like to cheat, but I did play through it and stuff, so yeah. It's not cheating. :|

Anyway uh... I'm taking a break from it for now because the first chapter was so easy and like "La la la I'm fighting enemies and not getting a single game over..." And now I have Rydia and a couple other crappy party members which sucks because Rydia is fucking useless aside from her black magic. But her HP is like 2 and it's annoying.

I also downloaded Crystal Defenders since well, I wanna play all the FF games. :| I also bought that new Crystal Chronicles game... Echoes of Time I think it's called? It looks fucking stupid, but I'll play it anyway. Maybe it'll be fun. Maybe. The Crystal Bearers, the CC game that hasn't been released, actually looks really cool.

Tonight my dad is going to help me order a video card and some RAM since he's a computer genius and I'm... a computer retard. I definitely want his input because I'd probably end up buying the wrong thing. Then I can FINALLY play the Sims 3! It came today, but alas I shall not play it until my computer is ready.

The sad thing is, my mom made me watch this Dr. Phil episode yesterday on compulsive gaming, and Dr. Phil was like, "Gee you should evaluate how much money you're spending on video games!" Then I thought of how The Sims 2 stole over fifteen hundred dollars from me (that includes the desktop computer I bought for it... yes, half the reason I own this desktop computer is because I wanted to play the Sims 2. >_> However, like I said, most of the expansions and stuff were gifts and the money was spent over a period of several years.). However, I am nothing like those freaks on that show. They destroyed their lives and sanity with video games, and I have not. I have a job, I'm in college (with excellent grades), I have friends... yeah. Besides, I go through long periods of time where I don't play any video games at all. My mom doesn't know this, though, and assumes that I'm on par with those crazy people on Dr. Phil. :|
