Spork Voodoo

Yay to the people who've read my fanfic! Thanks for the good reviews I've gotten so far... I'm going to keep working on it. Mostly during seminary. :-) Call it divine inspiration.
And... yes, I'm sure that's Darby and not Sylvia. Haha.

OOH I saw HIM on Saturday and they were SPECTACULAR. Then I had Jaclyn burn both of their CDs for me. Seriously, they were gorgeous. Ville was rocking the Johnny Depp look. Both Jaclyn and me screamed, "HE KEEPS LOOKING LIKE HE'S LOOKING AT ME!!!" We were right in front of the speakers, and we had an excellent view. Well worth the 30 bucks.

Finally! I've uploaded Chapter 1 of my KotOR 1.5 fic to fanfiction.net! So go and view my profile here. Look! I've linked to my blog! Don't you feel special? And read my story. Tell me if it's any good. I'm reportedly accepting anonymous reviews.

So.
No MI5.
In a way, I guess I'm not surprised. But I thought *maybe* I should hold out a *little* hope. Of course, cynicism rules out everything in the end, right? Yeah, I should have known. And besides that, my horoscope did warn me about an emotional rollercoaster today.
In other news, I've gotten my reward from playing as a male character on KotOR II. Turns out the Disciple *does* have a first name. Mical. And yes, I did scream when he said it. And yes, everyone ignored me. And when I later was retelling the story to my brother, I did collapse on my knees when I said his name. Which was altogether strange.

All right, so it took about an hour for it to finally sink into me yesterday: NEW. BONE. ADVENTURE. GAME
Then it hit me, and I started shrieking. Quite literally. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of dinner, when everyone was talking about the war and politics and other things I tend to not understand. So it was like:
Mom: blah blah BUSH blah blah WAR IN IRAQ
Jon: blah NUCLEAR
Eli: blah blah WARHEAD
Me: BONE GAME!!!! AUGH!!!!
Everyone else: *Stares in stunned silence*
Me: MOM!!! THERE'S GOING TO BE A BONE GAME!! I LOVE BONE!!!
Mom: You know, she's been trying to work this into the conversation all night.

And so what? It's true.
Altogether, a very productive 3-day weekend: a little bit of insignificant geometry homework, then I turned 4 NPCs into Jedi. So I have 6 Jedi and 6 ultimate light siders (not including me). Not all the same people. And I even managed to make G0-T0 grey, neither dark nor light, without compromising my own alignment.
And on top of that, I got to sleep in. How great was this weekend?

21 February 2005

I really don't have any time for this if I want to get 3 hours of KotOR2 in (I made everyone a Jedi!! Everyone!! Within possibility) but quickly now: WOOOOOOOOO NEW BONE GAME BY TELLTALE IS COMING OUT!! I love Bone, and yah, it's not MI5, but we'll save that for George Lucas. And it's also not Sam & Max 2, but really, I LOVE Bone!!!

(After seeing "Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera"-- again)

Syl: I don't like Christine.
Adri: If I was Christine, I would have chosen the Phantom. But if you think about it, she didn't really choose Raoul. The Phantom just sort of sent her away with him.
Syl: Yeah, she must have been a really bad kisser.

In other news, Adriane is sick. Sick sick sick. But I'm still obligated to come to school and take a bio test. *sigh* So I'm still here.

A word of advice to KotOR II players: Don't do Nar Shadaa first. It's one thing to just go and set mines in the cantina and find out about Atton's past and then leave. But it's not the best idea to go on Goto's yacht or into the Jekk'Jekk Tarr if none of your characters have lightsabers.

Not that it's not possible. It's just significantly harder, but I really wanted to get Mira early on. And I did. And it's hard.

16 February 2005

I really want to see Constantine. It looks quite a bit like Van Helsing, which, despite abominable reviews, I loved, if solely because of Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, vampires, and comic book-esque violence. Same sort of appeal. Plus I really don't know what it's about. Which works for me, really.
Why do the school internet filters block rathergood.com but not listentome.net? Stupid filters don't know what they're doing.
And for anyone who remembers that my stepbrother is under the impression that Velcro grows in Australia, he now has another theory: Velcro sticks together because the hook part has electrons and the other part has protons.
Sigh... *Force crushes Sander*

15 February 2005

I am so irrationally tired. And I'm really mad, because the TV Week said that Cribs was gonna be on at 10. Stupidly, that's only on the east coast, and I'm stuck here with a faulty TV guide. I mean, the thing does actually come in the SF Chronicle. Could it not be 3 hours later than it's supposed to be?

14 February 2005

Yes, yes, yes, it's the 14th of February. And we all know what that means.
They're showing Chad Kroeger's house on MTV Cribs.
Seriously, though, I ran out of my black kohl eyeliner the day before V-Day and I had to use my mom's eyeliner pencil. A cruel trick of fate, indeed. And why is it I never have time for KotOR on the weekends but I somehow find the time during the week?
Oh well. Even so, I didn't get my homework done. At least no one's having a birthday this weekend. That I know of. So I'll be home. Alone. Well, alone with Atton, haha.
Woo.

13 February 2005

Happy birthday to both Marianna and Kelly Hu, who played Deathstrike in X-Men 2 and also Visas Marr, who's probably one of my strongest party members until I build Atton into a Jedi. Even though she starts out with really bad defense, it seems.
Yesterday was also Raphael Sbarge's birthday, and he is my hero because he does the voice of the ever-lovely Carth Onasi.
So happy birthday. mkay.

El Compudore here is being a psycho and not loading any gif or jpg files. I hate it when this happens (sadly very often).
New tracks downloadable at Trevor Lissauer and the Glass Plastiks. Oh, and thanks to everyone who came this morning to babysit, namely me all alone by myself.
Ahh, there goes the bitterness. Now I can be happy. And Rathergood.com's Joel Veitch's band 7 Seconds of Love has a video at rathergood which you should all watch.
Go! Be useful! Or not.

11 February 2005

Played the end of my Darksider female on KotOR2 again because I realized that the futures Kreia told me about for my party members would all be different. I felt really really bad. For what happened to Atton, at least. I don't want him to be consumed!!
Hah, my life totally revolves around this game. I woke up twice in the night and I stretched my calf muscles in such a way that they burned really badly, and all I could think was that if the Disciple were there, he could heal me.
Hey, it's true. He could. But he didn't, and now my leg still hurts. Crap.

10 February 2005

Fanfics. They are both a blessing and a curse.
KotOR I/II fanfics: they are a way of life.
I just discovered the latter yesterday. And it hurts. Something insede me aches the more I read them because I can see what they're doing to me, namely making me even more unhealthily attached to the games and this world I've created around me.
Even so, I will not stop. I will probably never be able to let go of these games, and if the time comes that I have to, it will be a day of darkness beyond belief for me.
I particularly enjoy this fanfic and was emotionally shattered by this one. Though it was still very written. I was practically in tears at the both of them.
SOB.
It's like an endless game of leapfrog, from unhealthy obsession to unhealthy obsession.
I think that was crappy. I need to work on my metaphors. And I need to finish both of my KotOR fanfics so I can post them.

07 February 2005

Thanks to Kouitten for the clarification/theory/insight on KotOR II's ending. And for the link to the comics. I love Irresistable 2. :-)
In other news, I have 14 something dollars in coins. Thanks to all of my generous benefactors. Just the same, I think I'll just pay for it with the money I already have. But feel free to continue donating!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN!! We will one day all be under your rule!!

New rant on JoeBob.
Syl- my dad wants your dad to maybe listen to his CD after you're done, if he has time.
I broke my addiction to Phantom. Listening to Nirvana. Not that I don't adore the Phantom, but now I'm capable of listening to other things as well.
Hey MUNI riders-- the fast passes are really pretty this month. And blue and stuff...
Skipped seminary, still tired... meh. And Brittani and Victoria, if by some strange phenomenon you are reading this (even though I don't know you, Brittani) there's a YW thing tonight @ church and bring your personal progress books & a journal.
Yah. I'm still really tired.
