This time, Meimi brought joy by doing a layout of Isumi Shinichirou and Waya Yoshitaka, of Hikaru no Go. It is full of wub.

This is me in panic mode
12/6/2003 12:57:16 PM
"I'm sick of telling you this. You can't discipline people like you do pets."

I miss Neville. He was a good little MP3 player, and it would be nice to have something to listen to while I walk to class, or to the grocery store, or sit waiting for my laundry to finish. Alas, the Varoman software seems to hate XP with a blinding passion, and so Neville is back in Prince Albert, and I am deprived of his soothing presence.

I'm also deprived of the chance to walk down the street, humming Porno Graffitti songs under my breath. Curse you, fate!

Leaving for my Old English exam shortly, trying not to panic, but that so isn't working. Being in a panic before an exam is my natural state of being.

I hope I can find the room it's held in. I have a horrible sense of direction.

Still in mourning over Suikoden II, so I haven't started up any new games. I'm thinking I might go back to Final Fantasy Tactics: Advanced, or maybe even Final Fantasy VII (what? Baldur's Gate? the multiplying dwarf bug? Shuttupshuttupshuttup). But my luck with Final Fantasy games is just the crappiest thing ever. Seriously, the day I manage to complete one, I should throw myself a party.

Matt thinks I should play Persona 2 next. I, however, am rather tempted to try playing the King's Quest remake put out by Tierra Entertainment. I was toying around with it a bit last weekend, I think, after Whitney gave me the link, and, dude, it's fucking awesome. I'd forgotten how easy it was to die! And the bad puns you get on your death. And the saving every single screen. Nostalgia overload, man.

I think I'd like to focus on getting my gift writing done before I have to go back to Prince Albert, though. Some of it, anyway. But might play me some FFT:A to unwind, and get some jobs out of the way. Just while I'm watching the tv sort of thing, of course.

And I'm behind on recaps. I'm a bad, bad Ingrid. I'll try to get a couple more episodes of Loki done before I leave, too. At least episode ten, 'cause, dude, Thor cleaning the toilets. Feel the love.

Twelve days to go,

Seriously, these remixes break my brain

"What if they make me go to parties?"

The remix of Fuji Yuuta's "Blood" is just the most crackhappy thing ever. People weren't kidding when they said it's like the rest of Saint Rudolph's is going pedal-happy in the background.

All of Yuuta's songs are happy, but the "Blood" remix is even happier than the original. He's so damn happy, singing about how he isn't a genius, it's vaguely disturbing, but I love it at the same time. I even love the remix (and remixes usually don't affect me or make me go WLKJFASIAWR?!?!!! like the remix of Tachibana's "Victory Road" - it sounds total fscking techno or raver music or something).

This thing is still being weird about updating. Goddammit, Tripod and Blogger. By your powers combined, I get a freaking giant headache.

Free stuff sucks,

And this slide is drunk

"Honestly, Dad, if I were any more touched by your sentiment, I'd be in a court pointing out just where on an anatomical doll."

Three classes and three exams to go before I can pretend I have nothing to worry about until the New Year. Yay, or something.

Did poorly on my 17th Century Literature paper. In the words of many 'Fuck hell shit damn' and other profanities used in a manner that is expressive of frustration.

I think I may be sinking into another depression. Hopefully, though, I'm just exhausted, and this sentiment will be gone in the morning. Or maybe I'm lonely, I don't know.

I miss her, still, and I hate that I do, because it means my emotional control isn't strong enough yet, and I have to get better, and make myself tougher, but it's hard, and I'm not completely there yet.

I wish I had someone around to hug me and tell me I'm a good person, but I don't and I know I'm not, and I don't really want to be a good person, because good people get used as doormats. But wishes have little to do with logic. They may not even have anything to do with desire. They just are.

I'm behind in my anime watching. I want to watch Full Metal Alchemist, but I know it's going to depress me and upset me, so I put it off. I'll probably marathon a couple episodes next week, or something, after my norse mythology exam. I haven't downloaded any Prince of Tennis in a while either. I honestly can't remember what was happening - Fuji and Eiji playing doubles? I think that was it. Ah, and the pig anime (Peace Maker Kurogane). I need it for my Yamaguchi Kappei fix, I'm such a dork. And a pig, man. But probably won't watch any until next week sometime. Sigh.

Also things I've been meaning to look into - Kino no Tabi, I think, which I have three episodes of but haven't watched, and I should probably download some more of Ashita no Nadja, but that's a lot of episodes, and the cute hurts me.

Thought about downloading Get Backers and watching it, but there's too fucking much, man. I'd never manage it.

It's late and I'm tired,
Ingrid, Signing Off
