Oh I.. finally got around to watching the final episode of Shigofumi. It wasn't that bad, actually. Better than most of the endings I've seen. >: Now I have to buy the DVDs, don't I? Best show of winter season, seriously.

Now it's back to watching old anime until Spice and Wolf 7 comes out and a batch torrent is made for the series. Then I'll marathon that. And I should probably marathon Gayass sometime soon too. >: If I can find the episodes online still, that is. April season seems promising now. I'm looking forward to Toshokan Sensou and Allison & Lillia the most, I.. hope they don't suck. Toshokan looks really good, at least, so I'm hoping they don't screw it up somehow.

Case 3 of PW3 atm, just started the second part. I'm kinda too lazy to play it right now so I'll just play The World Ends With You once I get it from Giselle, lol. Also started SO3, but I keep on landing on UNDERDEVELOPED PLANETS WHAT THE HELL if I wanted to play in medieval settings then I would play Civilization or something like that. :| And this dungeon is annoying. I'd like to quit playing but I have to see how retarded this plot twist is for myself. And I... like Peppita. Kind of. D: She's kawaii desu.

I guess I'll play some more P3 soon. I'm just too lazy to grind, but at least the dungeons aren't impossibly hard to navigate like SO3. :( I really want to play some TotA but I don't have it, lol, I'll play it at Giselle's house if I can go. D:

I'm just waiting for my dad to get back so I can ask him to take me to Giselle's house. >: I hope he'll actually take me this time. fff

I'm bored. ):

OH MY GOD FUCKING PRINCESS IN A BOX 2 PUZZLE TOOK ME OVER 2,000 SLIDES AND TWO HOURS TO FINISH D:

LOL

I finished Professor Layton. >: NOW I WANT THE SEQUEL WHEN IS IT COMING OUT. Luke and Layton are such kawaiibutts. D: But yeah, sequel. Do want. Too bad it probably won't come out here for a year or so. >: Just like P4. Dammit.

I'm missing 4 puzzles still, but I managed to finish the inn and picture puzzles. Missing 101, 107, 115, and 118 atm. I guess I should go find them. D:

But yeah, adorable ending. I hope Flora does something that's actually, god forbid, useful in the next game. >: She's cute, but she didn't seem to do much in the credits. D: Oh well. Maybe she just won't show up at all.

I was pretty much expecting the ending by the time I got to the tower, but it was still pretty sad and sweet at the same time.

Annnd now every puzzle in the game is completed, so back to playing PW3.

I FINALLY FOUND PROFESSOR LAYTON. FUCK YEAH

I LIKE THEIR GAY BRITISH ACCENTS AND THE CUTSCENES. ;-;

GOD THIS IS FUN I THINK I WILL PROCRASTINATE ON MY PROJECT MORE LOL

fffsdfdf I'm never going to finish PW3 at this rate D:

Shigofumi 11, oh god. One more episode left. I wonder how they're going to finish this off with a fulfilling ending, since it looks like they're going to introduce another episode as well. I hope they don't pull a crap ending like Akagi, at the very least. Fucking awesome anime ruined by a half-assed ending.

Waiting on Kaiji 24 atm, it looks like it'll be out in a few days at the rate Triad is releasing recently. But they're going to go back to releasing new episodes every two weeks again, I know it. >:| TISSUE BOX RAFFLE, THOUGH, FUCK YEAH. THIS BOX IS AWESOME.

Speaking of Kaiji, I-I now have a soft spot for Mikoko. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. Some anon on /fkmt/ released a translation of some of the pages with her in it from part 2, and oh god they're so lol worthy. PERO PERO PERO

...So yeah, I like her for the comic relief now. I just thought she was kind of creepy-lookin' when I saw her first, and I RAGED like every other Kaijifag when I saw her clinging to mai moe waifu, but I.. crap, I kind of like her now. lol. I still don't like the pairing though. :| KAIJI/SAHARA LOL

I.. I bought some more books, they should be here in a week or two. Socrates in Love, Calling You, and Be With You. I was going to buy Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World as well, but since it's in stock in some of the B&N's around here (Boynton, I can probably go when I go to Giselle's house), I decided to go for the more obscure novels that I can't find around here. Also waiting on Ballad of a Shinigami to come in stock, as well as Kino no Tabi volume 2 to be released. Still no news about it yet. :|

I need some more books to read. I feel like a total weeaboo only reading Japanese translated novels, but there really isn't anything I'm interested in right now. Eoin Colfer (epic fucking troll) completely fucked up on Artemis Fowl, so I have no interest in any of the books beyond 4 (and I've read them all several times), and most/all teen literature is pretty crappy. I tried picking around in the adult fiction section, but there really wasn't anything that looked too interesting. There was this one book that I wanted to read about some.. newspaper woman working in India, but I can't remember what it's called anymore. I'll know what it is by the cover, though.

Been playing P3 for most of this week, though I didn't get to play last night or tonight. Staying home tomorrow, though, so I'll be able to play for pretty much the entire day, save for piano lessons in the afternoon. The game's been great so far, though Strega only just recently showed up -- it's kind of sad that I have to play pretty far into the game to even get some plot development, but boosting social links and finishing quests is fine with me. I just wish it wasn't so annoying to max the social links. I'll follow a guide for it when I get FES, since I definitely won't be able to max them all out on this playthrough. The characters are enjoyable though, and so are the scenarios during the full moons, so I'm content with playing right now. I-I really want to get to November something in the game soon though, so I can work on that social link for Mitsuru lol. ;-;

I've been wanting to play Tales of the Abyss again, but Giselle has it right now, lol. She's around the beginning of the game, maybe 12 or so hours in, so I won't be expecting to get it back for a few weeks unless she plays nonstop on weekdays and weekends. D: Took me a week to beat it over winter break playing almost nonstop, so I probably won't get it back in a week or two. I want to play it though, just to make Luke run around his mansion in the towel boy costume like a faggot. And so that I can get the Abyss Ranger costumes which I haven't gotten yet for some god-forsaken reason. But uh, fun game is fun and I'm still in love with it, jesus christ. Must cosplay moar TotA. I'll just.. satisfy myself by making fun of Luke and Jade if she plays it when I go over to her house. >:

But yeah, I'm hoping to get Persona 3 done in a week or so. I could probably get around 4 or 5 months in if I play over the weekend, and then one month for every weekday. I don't have that long to play, anyway, I think the game only goes out to December or January something before it skips to January 31. I'm in August right now, so that's 4 months until December.

I don't remember what else I was going to write about now. Getting some stuff for Chrome, Ken/Kenji, and Anise (lol redo again) on Saturday, hoping it doesn't cost too much because I'm still trying to save up for FES and The World Ends With You. I can afford to wait for Arcana Heart, Baroque, Sword of Rondo, and a buttload of other games that I want to get, but not FES and Subarashi Kono Sekai. D: I might get Luminous Arc when I'm done with Etrian Odyssey, or just to play when I get bored of GRINDAN so much, but that's all I'm planning to get atm unless I somehow manage to make enough money to get more games than that.

Also, I'm cosplaying as Yukari with Giselle to the FES/Subarashi Kono Sekai release on April 22, lol. She's going as Minato. Since it'll be on a Tuesday, if we can't make it on the release date then we'll be going on the Saturday right after. It'll look so.. gay. Oh god. I doubt we'll be able to bring evokers or the joke weapons that they get in the game, but we'll be there in the normal outfits and SEES armbands and.. oh wow. This will be great.

While I'm still on the subject of Persona, HOLY SHIT PERSONA 4. The trailer for it looks amazing, though I want my kawaii desu ne Elizabeth back. Not sure what the new one is called, but she's not as moe as my Elizabeth from P3. ;_; I like the new character designs, though I'm not as fond of the new Mitsuru. The new Junpei looks awesome, though.

The only thing I don't like about the game so far is the.. penis protector on the Main Character's persona, o lol. That's just kind of odd. But uh, yeah. The dungeon's inside a TV and you fight on the sets a-and it's a murder mystery this time, oh god. I'm not as fond of the plot as P3's, but it still sounds really fun.

It should be coming out in July for Japan, so I'm expecting to wait at least a year to get it here. >: At least I'll have a few other games to amuse me.

O mai, Harvest Moon DS Cute is coming out in 5 days. Time to track down a MFoMT game cartridge so I can squeal over Doctor again. :D I HOPE I CAN FIND ONE AT GAMESTOP, SHIT

fsdfsdfsdfs >:|

Just rinsed my wig out, going to work on it again tomorrow when it's dry. Needed to get that got2b glue out so that I could brush it out and try to make it look nicer. I want to get it looking like this one Japanese Anise's wig, but it would have to be straighter and... I'd probably need to weft in more hair to do it. >: I probably should add more wefts, but... assadfasdfsadf

I'll just try to make do with what I have. The pigtails are huge already but they're still.. not huge enough. It's frustrating. ;-;

Well, whatever, the wig's drying on a towel near the sink right now so I have no choice but to work on my costume (!!) so.. I guess I'll redo my sleeves and then try to make my dress with what I have left. I cut so much fabric out for the sleeves that I only have enough left for one shot at the dress, and I'm not even sure it'll be long enough to cover my ass without shooort points. Oh well, at least it's the weekend, I can get more fabric at JoAnn tomorrow. o:

I also need to make that skull charm and those two skull clips for the Devil costume, going to do that out of sculpey. I'm going to see about getting some paperclay to make it instead though, I've heard that it's lighter and less brittle. I don't need my clips or brooch weighing down my costume or falling out and breaking.

Andand now I *really* want to do young Jade, fuck. ;-; HE'S SO CUTE. I just.. need to beat Nebilim so I can get that cutscene AND THEN I CAN GET HIS MODEL IN MY CHARACTER BOOK. MAYBE. ;-; I.. I sux at vidya gaems though. I always train my characters to just minimum level and then whine about not being able to beat the hardest boss, ffff. I guess I have to do some grinding in TotA and Etrian Odyssey. I think everyone's at level 70 (or 71-72) at the moment, I'm going to try to get at least some of the coliseum weapons to make it easier for myself and then hope for the best? idk

...and I don't have a wig lol. I will ask Jenna to get me one after I finish the costume, if I have time to do it. D: yea

...oh, and I need to go train at Eldrant or something. Training around Nebilim's Crag takes way too long. >: fsfsdfsdf loading times

and

that's it. D: sleeves taimu

P.S. CHUNKY ANISE STILL MAKES ME SMILE. ;-; SHE LOOKS SO... MANLY, AND THEN JADE IS JUST "....:("

I.. I guess you can call me a Touhoufag now. ;-; Goddammit.

I can't seem to beat stage 4, augh. >: It's bad enough that the enemies during the stage are worse than the spell cards of the three bosses before that, but the boss is impossible to survive. fsdfsdfasdf

D: I also played through a few days on Persona 3. Gotta train myself back up to level 6, ugh. The enemies only give me like, 3 exp each and I need around 100 to level up and.. SHITSUX D: I also can't find a store that sells sp-restoring potions. I tried the pharmacy but that only sold hp-restoring potions, so..

On a better note, I bought an awesome black ribbed knit to make Anise's turtleneck with. I kind of wanted to use this awesome soft knit that I saw at the store too, but... yeah, I have no idea why I went for the black one instead. It's going to look kind of awesome though. o: And I can actually wear it irl, fuckyeah~ Couldn't find any pleather, though. Or a nice material to make her white suit out of. Oh well, I'll try going to the JoAnn near my own place soon. Maybe they'll have something that I overlooked before.

And I guess I'll finish my sleeves sometime soon since I just threw the stuff in the wash. eh D:

eh nvm time to play persona 3

So, I've been playing Persona 3 all morning. It's gotten much better since you can go around the town now and explore Tartarus. The battles are fun~ Establishing social links is headache-inducing though, especially for the Hermit arcana. >: I don't want to talk to people on MMOs that talk like that IRL, so why would I want to in an RPG? fsdifhdiu

But I managed to get myself killed when I had the team split up to explore Tartarus and I didn't save, so yeah.. Set back 4 hours or so. D: I got myself to the 5th floor again though, so all I have to do is train a little and get my personas back so I can fight the boss monsters on the 5th floor with no problem, and then get back the stuff I found on the 6th floor... And rejoin the clubs and reestablish links, etc.

Annnd I wrote that at around 2:40. It's almost 9:00 now. :D Well, I didn't really do much after that. I played some Trauma Center, got around 1/4 of my operations to S rank, and started working on my sleeves. It took me 2 hours to get them right because I didn't know if I wanted them to be baggy at the top or not. >: They look baggy on the anime scenes and figure, but they don't look very baggy on the game model. I guess I'll just go by the game model for consistency?

Well, considering that, I've got the tubes for my sleeves already done and I just need to trim them to size, add the cuffs, attach elastic, finish the inside, and hem the top. Easy.

I guess I can make my sock tubes tonight as well, though I'm still not sure how I'm going to get them onto the socks without them sliding all over the place and looking crappy. I could also sew them onto the socks, but.. then I'd have to go out and buy another pair of white thigh-highs for normal wear! D: And they're $5!

>: Gotta go to JoAnn sometime to get red pleather for Simon's goggles and materials for the Childish outfit. Should also go to Home Depot to get insulation foam, Bondo, and liquid nails. Annnd I need to buy some shoes to use as bases for my cosprays, and get materials to make the shoe covers too. >: Making Anise's with foamies, and going to try to make Simon's out of felt without it looking crappy and Anise's childish boots out of pleather and vinyl/tubing.

Also, downloading Touhou. WTF

.....was a really great game. D: <3

I'm glad I saved twice before the final battle, haha. I thought I would be able to do the Nebilim quest after the final boss but I ended up not being able to. And there's no way I'm saving it until the second playthrough!! I GET TO SEE JADE AND DIST AS KIDS HOLY SHIT. D: THIS IS THE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE ENTIRE GAME!! I was squeeing so hard when the credits were scrolling and they showed pictures of Jade as a kid. SO ADORABLE DSFDFASFDF

Anyway, I finished Tales of the Abyss last night sometime around 1:30? Watched the credits, squee'd over how cute everyone was when they were kids, and then watched the epic movie after the credits were done. I really want a sequel now. >: Not getting to see how everyone's doing after the events of the game is killing me. (JAAAADE D:)

I'm currently obsessing over the battle music during the fight with Luke and Asch. It's an orchestratic remix of the opening theme, and it's SO AWESOME. I tried really hard to resist cranking the volume up during that fight so I could fully absorb its... epicness. I love the Sound Test extra they gave me, now I can listen to the music without actually playing the game. ;-;

But anyway, I missed a whole bunch of sidequests because I thought I could do them after Van, haha. So yeah, definitely going back and doing them now, especially the one where I get more fonic artes for Jade, goddamn. >: Spamming the same three over and over again gets kind of boring after a while. And of course, the Nebilim sidequest and the scenes I can unlock after that will be epic because DIIIIIST. ;-;

The ending was pretty great, though the little part at the end made less sense the more I think about it. Gotta do that less then. Sorry, I was too busy spazzing over how pretty Jade is with his glasses off. D: I literally had to put the controller down during the cutscene before the final battle because I was spazzing out so. damn. hard.

After I do the sidequests though, I'm going to need to start a new game, because of the new sidequests I can do now that everything's unlocked. I'm thinking about just returning Star Ocean to Andrew because I'm going to be stuck playing Tales of the Abyss for a while, trying to get all of the titles and etc. >: I have to fight Nebilim on Very Hard for one of Luke's titles.. D: Oh boy, that's going to be great. I'll be sure to get the 10x EXP modifier for that if I have enough grade points.

.......

geez, I suspect that all of my school papers will be covered with TotA drawings now. And I'm probably suspecting right. >: <3

.............

HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH THIS LONGASS GAME TO GET EVERYTHING COMPLETED?

......jade and dist as kids. ;-;

Geez, I really don't like finishing games though. After it's all done, I feel kind of... empty? D: And it just feels weird to play it over again and see everyone meet again and go through the adventure again. idk, maybe I'm just sentimental. But this is why I need a sequel based on the same characters. ;-; Not some crap like the ToS sequel where the main cast is completely new.

Oh well, time to unlock Yulia's Tomb and do the goddamned planetary artes sidequest. ;-; argh

o-omg

is it possible to love and hate this game at the same time?! D:

for one, they just killed one of the two cute guys in this game, which I wasn't expecting at all. And it looks like they're about to kill the other one.

but ON THE OTHER HAND... the skit that I just read had me crying of laughter. ;-;

does... does everyone except Tear trying to get Jade to strip make up for Frings and Ion? ;-; I CAN'T DECIDE.

anyway

piano soon, etc.

I'M ALMOST DONE WITH THIS GAME D: I just have to take care of the sidequests tomorrow and maybe the ending if I can't get that far tonight. eeee

I.. I spent all of yesterday playing Tales of the Abyss. WOW D: I didn't think I had the attention span to do it BUT I DID! And it put me at the 1/3 spot in the game. Now it's just another few days of marathoning and I'll be able to finish the game once! >:

And-and I'll have to play it over again to get all of the events and costumes and OH MY GOD D: I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 20 HOURS ALREADY AND I'M ONLY 1/3 THROUGH AND PEOPLE SAID THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE OVER 100 HOURS TO PLAY THROUGH THE GAME FULLY WITH THE SIDEQUESTS

I guess I'll just have to... I don't know. dedicate all of my time playing it until I'm finally done? I'm actually kind of hyped to play it now 'specially since I'm going to Grand Chokmah after this dungeon and if Keterberg was fun, then Grand Chokmah's going to be TWICE AS FUN. I pulled out so many homo homo undertones from Keterberg it wasn't funny. ;-; And everyone knows that Peony can't be straight, he has the name of a goddamned flower for pete's sake.

I HATE THIS DUNGEON THOUGH D:

at least it's not as dark and boring as the factory dungeon.

K, GETTING BREAKFAST AND THEN GOING BACK TO PLAYING ;-;

also, at Magma Rock in Golden Sun 2 right now. I think I completed the outside, and I'm in the interior of the dungeon right now. This is the first dungeon that I couldn't figure out myself by just running through the rooms and playing around with the different objects there. D: Maybe I took the wrong way in, since every path I've took is a dead end. sigh

breakfast now

Did I mention this is the first time I've woken up before 10? Oh my god.

Okay, for all of you guys that don't want to bother reading about me BAAAAWWWing over games, at least look and comment on this:

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/7830/toaenglishst7.jpg

I'm trying to pick an alternate outfit to do at Megacon in case I decide that I don't want to make Eureka at the moment. (it would also be easier for me since I don't have to change my hair when I'm getting into my costume for the TotA group)

So, please pick from one of the three: Childish, Cat Cat Kitty Cat, or Little Devil. and comment with your choice? :D

Current votes tally up as thus:
Childish: II
Cat Cat Kitty Cat: II
Little Devil: IIII


Got through the Jupiter Lighthouse on Golden Sun 2 GODDAMN I DON'T WANT TO EVEN TOUCH THAT GAME UNTIL.... later tonight. D: Dungeon took 5 hours to beat. FIVE HOURS

UGH

Or something close to that, I can't remember anymore. I just remember playing it in the afternoon, getting bored, playing Tales of the Abyss, and then coming back again a while back to play it.

FSDFASDFAK DID I MENTION I AM PAST THE GODDAMN DESERT? THAT LOOK WAY TOO LONG. AND I HATE THE FIELD MAP LAG WITH A VENGENCE. I just went back to Choral Castle to beat the Sword Dancer thing and thank god Deo Pass is close. D:

........ NOW I WANT TO PLAY TALES OF THE ABYSS. ;-; I need a TV in my own room. Argh.

I.. I probably won't even get to Odin Sphere or Star Ocean until I beat TotA twice over because I want those delicious Abyss Rangers outfits. Really, I just want to dress them all up like idiots and then run around the field map laughing like a madman. I'm too easily amused. >:

God, I really should finish Odin Sphere before I start Star Ocean. At least there's not as much running around involved since it's an action RPG. IT'S SO FUN THOUGH.

TOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY. This is disregarding the ones that I started a while ago and didn't finish.

Oh yeah, I think I had homework too. OH WELL D:

I... I still want Persona 3, goddammit. ;-;

ALSO, WHEN IS MY UBW PATCH COMING OUT? ARRRRGH

Just bought Cooking Mama and Phoenix Wright 2.

WHY IS COOKING MAMA SO CUTE

Right now I have the base for Anise's dress done, and I still have to attach a collar as well as the bias tape and zipper. And I'm toying with the lining idea again, so I might as well get another yard or so of the pink fabric I need. Tomorrow I should be going to Michael's as well to get some contact paper for finally painting my cloak. THIS IS EXCITING. Kind of. I guess I'll cut out the basic shape for the cloak out of the lining fabric and sew it together to see if it works well, then put some interfacing on it and cut out pieces of the pink fabric to use. Then I need to paint them, let it dry, throw it in the wash to set, iron, sew it together with the lining, and add buttons. and yeah.

I still haven't figured out something to do with the socks. I think that it might scrunch up the fabric if I sew the purple things straight on, but it's not going to turn out well if I cut off the elastic part that holds the socks off so I can sew the purple things to the top. Hurr. Also need to buy the material for the shoes.

And also getting stuff for Lelouch which I AM DETERMINED TO FINISH DAMMIT. D: If everything goes well with Anise, I'll have Thanksgiving break to work on it.

And, durr, can't think of anything else to write. Oh yeah, our TV arrived. But it doesn't concern me cus I'm too busy playing TotA on the old TV.

TOTA IS SO GOOFY
THE VOICES MAKE ME LAUGH
MIEU IS ADORABLE

THAT IS ALL.

Tales of the Abyss..... for $14. lol.

Now I can't say I haven't played it.

PS2 BRB

Finished the Fate scenario of Fate/stay night. Now to wait for UBW.

"Try again from the night of the 3rd day." <- Leads to UBW? :D; Better keep that in mind for when the patch gets released.

dlakdjflaksf I love this game. The ending was so sad, but so good. :(

And! And! I'm going to Port St. Lucie later with Jasmine and staying overnight. Whee? :D;

fsfshdlf can't wait for UBW.

aidsjfoiasjdfoisd

Saberrrrrrr.

TIME TO MAKE SUM FATE/STAY NIGHT ICONS, BRB

really does look fun. XD I wish I would have gotten it that time at the mall.

Everlasting true love, I am yours.
