Freaking Palmetto Bugs. State bird of South Carolina.

No, really. The things are, like, three to four inches long at biggest. D: THEY'RE WHY I'M GOING TO GET A BUNCH OF CATS DESPITE MY ALLERGY TO THEM. That and I like cats. :D Kitty~

NOW THAT I AM SETTLED IN I have decided that I like SC. :D IS PLEASANT. ...Not counting the winged scourges of the night (see: mosquitos) and GIANT FUCKING ROACHES EVERYWHERE. I've actually suggested using electric mouse traps--if they zap cave crickets (maybe half an inch long), they'll get palmetto bugs. Assuming that it doesn't just make them angry... *hates roaches*

Gleep. Gleeep. Gleeeeeeep. D:

Gaaaah, I had my first seizure in... god, over five years, now a few weeks ago. I still can't get it out of my head. At least I know it's not because my meds aren't working; I think know I had forgotten them for a few days beforehand... But still. I... I never want to go through that again. I wasn't aware of it... but but but just blanking out and waking up with my heart trying to escape my ribcage and my breathing suddenly resuming. D: I... It's hard to explain. At least no one saw it.  ._. *shudder*

I hate my brain sometimes. Hate it, for all the things wrong with it. Hate it, for my lack of stability, emotional and mental. Hate it, because while an explaination helps, it doesn't erase.

Gaaaah. Over a week since we moved and we still aren't completely settled, and my "room" is mostly filled with boxes. SO MANY BOXES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH IT ALL GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *panic*

Also, the South is awful in the summer. Humid and hot and filled with fifty bajillion goddamned mosquitos.

At least it's pretty, there's not a lot of traffic, and the neighbors are nice. Also, lots of doggies. And gigantic, hand sized spiders that eat the goddamned mosquitos. Even if they are really creepy.

IN OTHER NEWS I'm playing Pokemon Colleseum(sp?) again. :D I'm already up to the fight with Nascour, although right now I need to level grind; my mons are about 10 levels short of what I need (otherwise known as "my Amparados gets Ice Beamed into oblivion without being able to get a move in") to beat them. BUT STILL! Soon I will be able to get Ho-oh! And when I find my other memory card, I'll purify my Shadow Lugia and transfer them both to my Diamond. SO CLOSE TO COMPLETE POKEDEX OMG <3 <3

Yep. They made GS3 about the main character's kids. I AM PROFOUNDLY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU GUYS. YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES, YANKING MY CHAIN TO THINK IT MAY HAVE REDEEMING FEATURES THEN SCREWING ME OVER LIKE THIS.

If you're going to make a sequel to games like this, at least give it more then one gen inbetween. IT'S TERRIBLY ANNOYING FOR THE FANGIRLS, YOU SEE.

Of course, i'm also going on my hunch of "not actually made by Camelot/made by a different team" which to me screams "BAD FANFICTION IN GAME FORM JESUS CHRIST SAVE ME FROM IT".

Yep. Graduated. Woohoo.

...baaaaaaaaaah, I'm bored now. *shot* BUT HEY, AT LEAST I ENJOYED MYSELF and I'm going to get a laptop once we move. *glee*

So, uhhh... there was partytiems, and GradNite was fun, because I count "DDR-induced severe ankle damage" as fun.  And I went on a boat on Sunday. :D It was surprisingly fun!

Other then that, I've been recovering from a weekend of partytiemz and trying to get into the library--I can't drive, and even if I could WE ONLY HAVE ONE CAR. BAAAAAARRRRGH, I WANT TO GO TO THE LIBRARY ALREADY!! [/whine]

Also, I got my first 100% on a Guitar Hero game. The DS version is apperently easier then the normal version. :| Hmm.

BUT WHATEVER. SLEEP NAO.

Not as nice as the wait wants me to think. I was more excited about G/S remakes once I saw the prerelease data.

:/ To get to the point, they announced GS3. I've looked at the beta stuff and, frankly, I'm not impressed. I know it's really early in the game, but... it's UGLY. And I wanted a prequel, not a sequel. Stop screwing up my dreams of guylove, Camelot. Unless they went crack pairing on us. I'm cool with crack pairings.

TO BE LESS FANWANKY AND MORE GRAPHICSWHOREY: The game isn't as pretty as even the beta of the original was, and that thing was pretty fugly. The backgrounds are blah and blurry, as compared to the nice, crisp, colorful glory of GS/TLA, and the sprites aren't as nice. And yes, I'm a graphics whore in this case. Shove off, it's supposed to be gobsmackingly pretty.

But it's hard to beat a game that is the second prettiest thing I've seen on any system, FF3's intro sequence being the first--that thing is gorgeous.

I just hope it actually is a prequel, and Golden Sun Universe was misinformed. ._. I... really don't want to deal with Isaac/Jenna or Isaac/Mia, because Jenna's a psychopath. And Mia is boring, so she's bad too. WHY CAN'T ISAAC JUST MARRY THE NICE ITEM SHOPKEEP IN APOJII?! Or Kay. A Wise One is fine, too.

....What can I say, crack pairings are fun. :D

It smells like Payne's Grey right now. :3 The distinctive scent of summer rainstorm, with a hint of cut grass and honeysuckle. It's very soothing.

On another note, I plan on raiding the library soon. >_> If one goes there and finds large portions of both Pterry and Mercedes Lackey's sections missing, I take the blame. I've been deprived of reading material for far too long and my brain is ravenous. I've read over five large novels in less then a week.

Oh my. :> Apparently my mother agrees with my self-diagnosis of mild OCD; she says she suspected it because of my severe hoarding behavior--I couldn't throw anything out. I suspected it because of my obsessive aliging of textbooks and constantly adjusting my sketchbook (and readjusting after the Webbster moved it for the lulz :> ).

I really hope I get that checked out soon. It will help my stress levels go down.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. OH MY FUCKING GOD.

GOLD/SILVER REMAKES. THEY ARE BEING MADE. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE HAD THIS DESIRE IN MY HEART~

HEART GOLD/SOUL SILVER, IF YOU SUCK I WILL KILL THE CREATORS. BUT YOU HAVE SILVER AND A CYNDAQUIL TO FOLLOW ME AROUND, SO YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY SUCK.

OMFG~~~~~~~~ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

...yes I am a giant Pokenerd. Shut up, those games saved my sanity.

Blah. D: I was kinda hoping we wouldn't wind up moving to South Carolina. Oh well. At least housing is cheaper there.

At least we have until mid-July. I'll miss Nothern Virginia and our lack of a weird accent. ;_; gaaaaaaah. [/incoherent]

Bloody HELL.

The rental I was expecting fell through and while we have a new place (hopefully) signed up, it's still in the air.

Blaaaaah. Universe, cooperate at least until I get out of college. D:<

We'll be staying up in Delaware for a bit more, apparently. While I will be going to school Tuesday (and I will be staying after~) I won't for the rest of the week because I wouldn't be able to take that round trip if it happened DAILY. D: Ugh. Over five hours total in a tiny tiny car.

AT LEAST I WON'T MISS EVERYTHING? idk. :<

Easter's nice today, though. |D I can't go upstairs because the smell is overwhelming, though. Rather annoying.

HAHAHAHA of course. Should've know. Silly Venus, the universe haets you and doesn't want you to get a house.

This meaning that we're still looking due to lack of contact.

I am out of the hotel now, though. I'm visiting my aunt in... Delaware I think? I slept (badly) through all of the "Welcome to [insert state here]!" signs, so i'm not sure. We'll be spending Spring Break here, and if all goes well, we'll have a house soon.

This is assuming that the universe doesn't pull a spiteful prank on us, of course. >|

Freaking hotel keyboard... Yes, "hotel keyboard". I don't like Mr. Hotel, because I have to sleep on the floor 50% of the time. WANT MY OWN ROOM AGAIN BLARGHRARGH Dx

Why am I in a hotel? The house my parents were renting got foreclosed because the owners didn't pay the minimum balance. We got locked out on... last Tuesday and spent two days clearing out the house because if they didn't let us get our stuff we would have sued their collective asses. That, by the way, was what I was doing Friday: Taping boxes and carrying heavy things. Also discarding half of what I owned and possibly losing Elite Beat Agents to those bastards.

We, of course, left them our trash. I wish them hell even if it isn't the cleaning people's fault. Screw you guys, I'm stuck in a hotel sharing a room with my perpetually PMS-y sister.

SO. DREAMS.

CRACKY STUFF, EH? And thus the point of this post. I have what is both the coolest and most wtf-y dream EVER.

Lost Kingdoms/Geneforge crossover. HELL YES. <3

Although my brain pointed out the flaws in it as soon as I woke up. X_x Katia was made of squish, couldn't equip anything, and was only good compared to the other female lead. Why, you ask?

BECAUSE DREAM SELF DECIDED TO FOLLOW THE LEAD OF GAME DESIGNERS EVERYWHERE AND MAKE A MALE LEAD THAT WAS AWESOME BECAUSE HE COULD EQUIP STUFF. *facepalm*

But yeah. IT WAS AWESOME. The graphics were like 3D Geneforge graphics with Lost Kingdoms tossed in, the card system was in place, you have pets fellow travelers like in Geneforge~

cutting offf nao

SO YEAH IT WAS, LIKE, AMAZING. :D

IN OTHER NEWS from like two days after op, with is wrong with me? LIFE IS GOOD AND I FEEL MAD SCIENCEY. NOW I JUST NEED A DEATH RAY AND MONSTERY MINIONS. ALSO SOMEONE FRO ME TO GIVE A MONKEY PONY MONSTER TOO. "You like ponies, and you like monkeys. WHY DON'T YOU LIKE MY GIFT isn't it enough knowing I ruined a perfectly good pony for you? D:"

Okay not technically jetlag but wtfever. THE INSOMNIA COMBINED WITH THE TIME JUMP MAKES IT JETLAG and blaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh the weather gave me a migrane on top of it. Ugh. I hate transitioning into Daylight Savings.

But in better news, the Oceanography trip is in a few weeks! YAY, AQUARIUM god why am i such a nerd.

In other not WHY-DOES-MY-BODY-HATE-ME news, I've started finalizing the body structures for some of my species~ Plus, I've started a new FireRed game. I feel... nostalgic. I want to play Yellow again now~ but I don't want to lose my Pokemon. :< Eh, I could always play my borked Silver until I drop it too hard or something. BUT It'S NOT THE SAAAAAME WITHOUT COMPLETELY BROKEN PSYCHIC TYPES~

Aaaaaarrrrrgh! Damn you and your lack of translation, Fire Emblem Gaiden! DAMN YOUUUUUUUUU!!

So I'm stumbling through the second FE. I'm doing really poorly so far, but that's mostly because I can't read anything and therefore don't know how to save. I think I did... once... but I have no clue if I actually did or not. x_x This is bad because I recognize some of the tunes from later FEs, and it's a good game, even though it's a bit of a crash course in the old FEs. But that's because I suck and the game is harder then I'm used to because of the RNG system. :B

I'm not sure if anyone knows enough Japanese to translate the menu from screenshots, but if you do please tell me. I need all the help I can get. x_x Hard game is hard and made harder by my failiness.

EDIT: ALSO I LACK A JAPANESE-ENGLISH DICTIONARY. SO I HAVE NO HELP ON THAT FRONT and babelfish phails so no

A belated Merry Christmas to all~ Hope you guys had a nice holiday.

HOWEVER I got bored and decided to give a quick look-over of a game I got for Christmas called Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Dungeon. I know, you all love me~ <3

Like it sounds, it's pretty much a Final Fantasy version of the Mystery Dungeon series. This means randomized areas everywhere except the towns, and an insane difficulty curve. It's a lot less forgiving then the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, because you lose all non-equipped items and Gil when you lose. And believe me, you will, especially in the Special Rules dungeons, although they don't let you take anything into those dungeons. All in all, fairly standard for... I'm pretty sure it's called a rogue-like. Not sure.

Other then the expected butt-hurting difficulty curve (which I love/hate, but YMMV), the game is very nice. The only thing that really gets on my nerves is the Lostime Town camera and the voice acting, although it's nowhere near as bad as Baten Kaitos or UQM voice acting, and that can be ignored. I especially liked all the little things, especially how they made it fairly obvious that Chocobo is a kid. EEEEE, THE PLAYGROUND ANIMATIONS. <3 Adorabibble, especially the slide animation.

All in all pretty good game, if it weren't for the water dungeons. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR ARMOR TO RUST? YOU DON'T WELL THAT'S TOO BAD, GO GET A GOLD SADDLE AND FUSE IT, NOT LIKE YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SPEND GIL ON. WATER DUNGEON! *is totally not bitter wtf are you talking about*

Also, minigames! While it's less annoying then many FF minigames in that it's optional, it still get annoying due to the enemy AI and a undersensitive Wiimote, but that's a fairly common problem and nothing to whine about. MEH.

HEY GUYS.

HAVE I TOLD YOU GUYS THAT I LOVE CHRISTAMAS EVE? OF COURSE NOT, SO LET ME BLATHER ON AT LENGTH ABOUT IT.

FIRST: THE BIG FAMILY MEAL.

Fishy noms for usss~ Salmon and tuna, but the salmon will always be superior. |< The dog got some too because we couldn't finish it all, so he's happy. THE ONLY WORRY WITH HIM IS THAT HE'LL SEIZE ON CHRISTAMAS MORNING so I told him he couldn't seize for 48 hours. BUUUUTTT balancing that out is the cookie decorating! Christmas cookies for all; like most cookies, they taste best in batter form but who cares. NEW PAJAMAS like every Christmas Eve. GAAAAH I WANT TO SEE WHAT MY NEW PAJAMAS WILL LOOK LIIIIIIKE. I HOPE THEY'RE FLUFFY. :D
