It is snowing.
It is sticking.
It is two days after Thanksgiving.
Welcome to New England, ey?

Oh, by the way, the auditions for the FFVII Audio Drama Project are open. I really need to make the webpage for that, and the blog for the Men of the Sea. ^^;; Sorry, Geo…

There was nothing in the cherries. I have no excuse. ^^;; Sorry, ya’ll, you’ll have to get hyper on your own.

Hmm, presents… If you could get my right ear re-pierced, I’d love you. It closed up in the middle. ;_; I’d only trust Spider Bite with that, though. Um, green yarn, silver rings, chains, and that somehow leads me into a train of thought about how base makeups (I forget what they’re called) never come in my color. Even “ivory” is significantly darker than my skin. Grr. I think I just need white stage powder. Which I also want for Christmas. >.> <.< No, I don’t want to be Muraki. A gift certificate to Joann’s is also very welcome, even if it’s for a dollar or something. Every little bit helps. ^.^ Ooh! And antlers. Hee hee.

Not much to blog about. I need to get Tsuzuki’s birthday present. But I want yarn… But Tsuzuki’s birthday is Tuesday. ;_; I can get yarn later, I suppose. Or maybe I’ll have money left over… I’ll have to check how much money I have. What other birthdays are coming up, and who do I still have to buy presents for? I need to get Steph-san’s birthday present, Geo’s Christmas presents (are you still going to contribute to that, Steph-san?), presents for Jeff, littlenymph, Neechan, Imouto, the parents, and… I know I’m forgetting people. The Posse is taken care of. Who else am I getting presents for? *worry fret*

*sigh* It’s a bleh day, and the family probably wants me to stop monopolizing the TV with Defiance. But I have nothing better to do. Like, yanno, clean my room, do laundry, HTML various things, make a collage, eat cherries… Wait, I’m doing that last one. *goes into Ryuuichi mode*

Defiance is sugoku sugoku sugoi na no da! Even Kumagoro can play! Vroom, vroom, Kumagoro BEAM na no da! *pout* Except for this place. It’s so haaaaaard. Kumagoro can’t find his way out. ;_; Kumagoro, follow the shining shining light! UWAAAH! Pikapika is a bad guy na no da! Run, Kumagoro! Tatatatatata… Sugoi! Shiny shiny door! Open the shiny shiny door with the shiny shiny key! Wai! Wai! XD Skippy skippy down the stairs! UKYAA! Bad guy na no da! KUMAGORO BEAM!! ‘tte. *munches cherry*

What I am thankful for, not in order of importance:
Food.
Warmth.
Love.
Family.
Friends.
Education.
Final Fantasy VII.
Swords.
Books.
Games.
Pets.
Otakon.
Music.
Life.
Health.

Tomorrow will be the gratuitous Thanksgiving entry (which is a holiday I don’t believe in and only celebrate because I like food) in which I give thanks for everything, except for the President of the United States of America. I’d rather give thanks for Michael Jackson than the President.

Anyhow. Google in 1337. Wow.

…WTF?

Steph-san: The GameFAQs walkthrough cuts off right before the part I’m at.

Mood: ARGH. *kicks Lisette*
Me: *%#!@

I was sleeping and Tsuzuki called and Imouto-chan woke me up to get the call and it was only a reminder to bring in printouts, which I shall probably forget anyway. It was a nice, solid sleep, too. Do you know how hard it is to get a good sleep? I never wake up feeling rested anymore. But sometimes events and moods conspire to give me the feeling of being a cat curled in a sunbeam, and I can sleep well. Losing that kind of sleep is like leaving your memory card in your pants when you wash them.

Wait, I did that. And the memory card was fine. I still use it. XD Okay, bad simile.

I’m at the Pillars. I’ve searched everything attached to the Pillars, including underwater. There’s a thingy that requires the Air Reaver to get over the cliff, but no sign of the Air Forge. Grr.

Mum freaked out at me when I tried to sort the mail, so I had a hissy fit. It’s been a long day, alright? And I’m in a fair amount of pain. My lower back and hips are bothering me, and my foot is throbbing. Yes, the one I broke several years ago. Yes, in that spot. It HURTS. And I only want to go play Defiance, but I can’t, because I’m stuck. So instead I’m whining on my blog. Urgh.

On the up side, I got to play with flour in Astronomy today.

Me: Am I Muraki yet?
Tsuzuki: No, you need to be whiter.
Me: *pats on more flour* Am I Muraki yet?
Tsuzuki: Nope.
Remy: Still need to be whiter.
Me: *pout*

Oh, and Zack keeps waking up and certain people keep bugging the hell out of me and I’m constantly tired. Argh. My current mood is “miserable”.

Aw, you guys are so cool. ^.^ I need to do present stuff for you, Jeff… What do you want for Christmas? Tofu, maybe? I don’t think it would ship well…

Got stuck trying to find the Air Forge. Sigh. And I couldn’t find a decent walkthrough… So now I’m begging Steph-san for help. Ehe. ^^;;

Not too much else going on. When the Astronomy teacher gave me the name of the mission I was supposed to research, she gave me “Roger”. There is no “Roger”. She meant “Rover”, which I have now researched. ARGH. I scolded her. It was funny.

The microphone won’t work! *cries* I wanna record myself. Wah. I have no idea what my voice sounds like, darn it. I wanna know! ;_;

*whispers* Kain refused the sacrifice. Taste the rainbow. Zoom zoom. SEVEN DAYS UNTIL NOTHING. There is no spork.

Flitwick: Really? Reallyreallyreally? *happy bouncing* Yay! Happyhappyhappyhappy! XD I’ll put up a better picture soon, with smoother shading and such, because the picture I have there is kinda bleh.

Steph-san: Dude, that would be so cool. Just walking around with a Raziel scarf/neckwrap. XD Who was it that threw him in, Turel and Dumah? And a Kain scarf would ROCK. Yes. XD

Geo: XD I know, it’s kinda bizarre looking, but I love it. I might switch back and forth between that and the image of Raziel’s feet, though. Hee hee.

So. I now have Legacy of Kain: Defiance.
(Pause for screaming and thrashing in joy)
There’s really very little else I can add to that. Raziel and Kain are too cool for words. The pimp/loser squid god deserves no notice. (Except for his voice actor, who is wicked cool.) And it turns out that the episode of Angel right before the Halloween one had Raziel’s voice actor in it AND I DIDN’T NOTICE. Grr. I need to find reruns of that episode, because he is COOL.

Aww, now Dad’s making fun of my typing and saying that I make the room shake. XP Do not. Although he did say that I type very fast, which I suppose is true. I just have trouble thinking of things to say. I like typing instead of writing, because it’s much closer to the speed of my thoughts. I hate having to ssssllllooooowwwwllllyy write out everything. It’s so much easier to go takatakating!

…Um, yeah. And stuff. I’m gonna go be Raziel now. ^^;;

The last entry was number 666. Why didn’t I notice and throw a party? ;_;

Correction to the last entry: With the Patriot Act, they don’t have to make any charges at all. They can toss you in jail without notification or charges, indefinately. In short, they can disappear you. *cough1984cough*

For those of you who have heard about recent happenings in my life, it’s okay now. We’re working things out, and I’m off grounding. Don’t worry about me! ^_^ Everything’s looking up.

As you know, I am currently obsessed with Soul Reaver. This is kind of difficult, because it confuses me. But hey, if a video game can make me cry with traumetizing sorrow, I gotta love it. …That’s kinda odd, isn’t it? ^^;; So ya’ll should play all the Soul Reaver games and Legacy of Kain shtuff, except for Blood Omen 2, because it sucked and only ties into the AU that’s been created and it’s fugly. Yeah. And stuff.

I discovered that Raziel’s clan symbol comes from the unique shape of his wings. So of course I made an icon of this - except that the site which had the reference image died just as I was clicking on the link to the image. ARGH. So I took two pictures of Raziel’s wings from the opening FMV - one picture showed the wings fully stretched out from the front, the other was a back view of the wings at rest. And from those two pictures I created a back view of fully stretch wings, which was then warped to accentuate the similarites between that and the symbol, made partially transparent, and laid over the clan symbol. My hand hurts. >.< All that for a 100x100 icon... At least I worked in a much, much higher res, so it resized excellently. Observe!

And now I want a silkscreened shirt with this on the back, along with the word “Razielim”. ARGH. It would require too much work. Too high a res, too much highly detailed editing… I wouldn’t even be able to get reference pictures. Grr. (Speaking of detail, you can’t see the detail of the recreated wing in that little picture, so here’s a shot of the wing by itself. Note that I gave up on making everything blend together perfectly.)

So. That’s my day. Yep. And I make breakfast. Mmm, eggs.
