I'm still pretty excited about it, living off the bits a pieces Atlus slowly leaks to us through their website. Only a month longer to wait now, with the date slowly coming to us... or something.

I feel kind of unmotivated about school sometimes, but I don't think it has anything to do with senioritis. I think I'm just kinda stressed out about some hard classes and managing my time poorly, which are both things I can handle. There are also those annoying college apps sitting around... I dunno, it seems that sometimes (like right now) I choose to not manage my time well so I can avoid doing homework I don't really wanna do, but that's a habit I really need to break, especially since it seems to extend to homework I'd be more willing to do. I guess it's something I still need to work on.

The time has come when my parents want me to make a Christmas list. Last night and this morning, I looked for some games I'd want to play. I ended up looking at the Atlus and NIS websites, finding some obscure, more-than-a-year-old games which might by now be hard for my parents to find. Some were more recent, but still... I made them aware that it would probably be not so easy to find some of them.

I take some pride in playing and wanting to play somewhat more obscure games. I'm rather fond of being different and not always following the mainstream or even the mainstream of the subculture.

This weekend, I thought of a character who could work well in the fantasy world I mentioned a while back. It makes me glad that I'm thinking of it again, and I hope to find some time to develop it a bit more.

Since Fire Emblem was really hard and too annoying because characters died too easily, I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics recently. It's an old game, and I have Tactics Advanced, but it's still amazing (and better than Tactics Advanced, imo.) I've played it before, but it's been so long that I mostly forget the story. Also, the story's kind of ridiculous, but that's also something that makes it great (and better than Tactics Advanced.) The music is beautiful, and the music in the opening totally gets me psyched up to play it. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I still feel like some of the things they were able to do with the character sprites are positively brilliant. In short, this game is awesome.

I'm not sure how familiar anyone reading this is with Final Fantasy Tactics, so although I partially want to talk about some of the funny things in the game and how far I am in the game, I won't right now, but I might some other time.

Anyways, yesterday, I picked up my schedule for school. I already mostly knew it, except all the teachers and room numbers, since they were scheduling conflicts, but it's nice to have it on paper. While my family was out, we went to a fabric store, since I had told my parents that I wanted to make a Roman costume. Since there was some type of sale going on, we went ahead and bought fabric for it and some type of rope to use as a belt. I'll still need to get something to use for the fastenings at the shoulder and my mom said she needed to get thread, but it's exciting that I'm going to make it. If you're curious, the outfit I want to make is described here: http://www.vroma.org/~bmcmanus/clothing2.html It's the first one, the peplos. The other one was more common, but although I don't usually wear sleeveless clothing, I wouldn't want to deal with so much extra fabric around me all for the sake of sleeves.

In the past few days, I finally decided on a name for the fantasy world I've been working on: Nar. However, although I say I've decided I'm still not entirely sure. I've already come up with four characters in this world (before deciding on a name for it...), but I still need to draw a simple map of the world, come up with countries and names and governments for those countries. I have so very very much work to do on it...

And now I finally get around to it.

ExpandLong post is looong... )

Recently, I've been writing down the info for a fantasy world I've come up with in which I might write stories and/or try to throw together an rp. If anyone shows interest, I might post some of that information on here. I might do it even if no one shows interest, though.

Well, this has been a learning experience. If I feel like posting but wait a while before actually posting, it will probably end up long. Maybe so long that no one will actually have the patience or attention span to read it, oh noez!

Well, a bit of a belated hello to those cool peeps I met on friending memes. I hope that you'll enjoy getting to know the bundle of nerdiness that is I as much as I enjoy getting to know all of you.

Edit: Oh my, I forgot that I wanted to mention this. Because one of my friends did it, I made my religious views on facebook "Haruhiist." I'm now tempted to add Fujoshi to that and see if anyone notices.
