Let it snow!
Jan. 11th, 2009 10:42 amIt's snowing lightly right now, and I want it to snow heavier, all day and all night so I maybe won't have to go to school tomorrow. If I have to go to school anyway, then I hope my school will at least ice the parking lot... My parking spot is a bit far from the door, and walking on ice is not very much fun. I know my school doesn't care about our health and safety when I'm surprised that there's actually any salt on the parking lot!
Anyway, I've kinda given up on posting much about what I did over my winter break, since it's now been a week since it ended. ^^ I will, however, tell about some of my Christmas gifts. As for video games, my parents gave me Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis, which is pretty fun. I really like synthesizing items and using the grow book and exploring dungeons, but I'm not actually all that interested in the plot and most of the characters. I'm kinda just going through the main plot and the character quests (or whatever they're called) so I can do my syntheses and maybe find out things about the characters to be interested in. I think I'm right in the beginning of chapter 5. I'm most curious about Vayne and Sulphur, Zeppel, and Roxis. I chose the Japanese voice acting instead of the English, kinda just because I could. I'm like the music in it, even though my family seems to always be a little shocked by the music. The opening song sounds like so much of an anime opening, lol.
My parents also gave me Disgaea DS, which I haven't played for so long that I don't really remember how far I am. The plot is pretty hilarious, but I'm not overly fond of the player turn and enemy turn battle mechanics. It's tolerable, but it takes some getting used to.
I've still been playing Persona 4 quite a bit. I'm close to the end of October, just a little bit away from the cultural festival. I have the Emperor, Strength, Sun, Justice, and Hierophant social links maxed out so far. I did the drama club version of the Sun this playthrough and ended up not liking Yumi, so she's the first girl I rejected and probably not the last. ( spoiler spoiler ) If I decide not to date her, I'll probably date Chie because her social link has been pretty cool. ^_^ I'm enjoying the hanged man social link, and I kinda hope to max it out. For some odd reason, I want to believe Naoki is gay, and I have seen no evidence to the contrary. Thus, I declare, Naoki is gay, unless it can be proven otherwise, to the contrary, forsooth!
Other notable gifts include: 4 GB flash drive, House M.D. Season 3, Howl's Moving Castle Daft Punk cd Musique, a burned copy of live recording cd (a cheap, but still very good gift from my oldest brother), some clothing, some manga, some Anne McCaffrey books, and a $10 Border's gift card that went a long way when combined with $10 I had lying around on a going out of business everything at least 40% off sale ^_^
On the note of the sale, my mom decided that I should receive $50 for a scholarship-related thing, so I got to buy even more manga. Although that Border's went out, there's still another one fairly nearby, so my book-and-manga-buying needs are not unsatisfied. (There's also a Barnes and Nobles even nearer, but it's not as good...)
By now, it looks like the snow has stopped for now, so I probably will have to go to school tomorrow. I should probably just check the week's weather somewhere, (so I can know when it'll be raining at midnight so I can watch the midnight channel!) but whatever.
