Dead puppies +9001.

RANDOM LJ QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I had a condom burst in my face. It was quite refreshing!"
~pyroyale

XDDD

(although when taken into context, said condom was filled with water. and was one of many tossed into the crowd at a concert. don't ask.)

Yawn...

Seriously, a chain of 100 battles? That are repetitive? That aren't even challenging, just plain boring? And that you have to complete in one go?

No, really, what were the game developers thinking?

Just a thought.

3 different deodorants being randomly sprayed around within 10min of each other do not make for a particularly nice smell.

The 308 classroom will probably never smell the same again.

I like cookies.

And I'm back to being a fangirl~

THIS. IS. JUST. PURE. AWESOME.

(click) IT'S NOT JUST FLAVOUR SYMBOLS LIKE I THOUGHT. THEY ACTUALLY WROTE THE ENTIRE CARD IN ENOCHIAN. AND SOMEONE ACTUALLY BOTHERED TRANSLATING IT.

Sadly, said person didn't translate Deuteros, Tritos, Kyutora and other cards.

But still. AWESOME.
(and well, given the amount of time that must have gone into this card alone, it's kind of nice to know that they didn't just throw the story together in 5min)

Also awesome: This. And this.

...less fangirling, and I might just be able to finish Chem WS6 before tomorrow.

Aha~n.

ね... チョウダイ?

I got the notebook~

Thanks Awa~

And because according to Passage A in the English Compre Test, Emo Culture, and Being Emo and Wallowing In Self-Pity and Self-Harm Et Cetra, is Bad For The World blah blah blah, I shall lock the rest of this post.



- Playthough One: Phase Final -

>Start Game
[ ] New Game
[ ] Load Game
[X] Generate Random Scenario *new!*

The mouse cursor hovers over the second option, then suddenly moves and clicks on the bottom one. It has been a few weeks since the latest patch added that option, and now is as good a time to test it as any.

>Loading Game...
>Please wait warmly

>Game Loaded

--

A year.

It has been a whole year since you last played. Every time you turn on the computer, your mouse is invariably drawn to the icon right in the bottom left corner, the one simply marked 'Game'. Just as invariably, you never click, although you can't bring yourself to uninstall it either.

If anyone had asked, you would have told them that you were waiting for the v2.10 patch. Which was true, until said patch was finally released a week ago, and you still haven't been able to bring yourself to play it since.

You wonder idly, as you always do, if you should just take a quick peek...

Then the chat window beeps, and your attention is drawn back to the rest of the screen.

[ DarkRabbit has joined conversation ]
[ Kirandra has joined conversation ]
.
.
.
[ DarkRabbit ] you said you'd play
[ DarkRabbit ] once the new patch came out
[ DarkRabbit ] well, it's been a week
[ DarkRabbit ] which server are you on?
[ DarkRabbit ] oi
[ DarkRabbit ] there?
[ DarkRabbit ] helloooo?
[ Kirandra ] ah
[ Kirandra ] yeah. sorry
[ Kirandra ] went afk for a bit
[ Kirandra ] uh
[ Kirandra ] busy right now
[ DarkRabbit ] come on
[ DarkRabbit ] you finished the game, right?
[ DarkRabbit ] then it's just the epilogue left to watch
[ DarkRabbit ] not even five minutes

Well...
If it's just an animated cutscene...

But then you remember what your 'finishing the game' entailed, and you quickly enter a response.

[ Kirandra ] i got bad end
[ Kirandra ] remember?
[ Kirandra ] so i have to replay
[ DarkRabbit ] new patch has bad end cutscenes too
[ DarkRabbit ] it's on youtube already

Somehow, the idea of watching those cutscenes don't quite appeal to you... still, you reason, it's just an animated sequence. And you have Alt+F4...

[X] Watch
[ ] Don't watch

--

~ [X] Watch

Oh, just do it already. Double-clicking the icon, you wait for the game to launch.

And it's loading... and still loading... and there, it's done. Feeling rather apprehensive, you settle yourself properly into your chair.

(Epilogue)

(... ... ...)
(... ...)
(...)

>>ENDING: ICE FAIRY NORMAL END unlocked!<<
>>EPILOGUE : ICE FAIRY NORMAL END unlocked!<<
>>CG: ICE FAIRY SET 1 unlocked!<<

...wait.
...didn't you... get BAD END... the last time...?

A quick Alt+Tab later, the chat window is back open.

[ Kirandra ] watched it
[ Kirandra ] i got normal end
[ Kirandra ] ???
[ DarkRabbit ] oh
[ DarkRabbit ] you didn't know?
[ DarkRabbit ] it's a bug fix
[ DarkRabbit ] some people complained
[ DarkRabbit ] so they changed it
[ Kirandra ] ah

Somehow, you feel relieved, even though it's just a game patch.

[ DarkRabbit ] so
[ DarkRabbit ] going to replay?
[ Kirandra ] nah
[ Kirandra ] fine with this end
[ Kirandra ] not bad end can already
[ Kirandra ] besides
[ Kirandra ] too troublesome

>THE END

>Saving Scenario Data...
>Uploading Scenario Data...

>Scenario Data saved and uploaded

[ ] New Game
[ ] Load Game
[X] Quit Game

Blinking bemusedly, you click the 'Quit Game' button.

That wasn't what you had expected at all, but it was interesting all the same.

fin.

Did I ever mention I hate thinking up post titles?

Feels like I've missed too much just by being stuck at home for 2 days.
>.<

Even the Internet gets boring, or at least less OMG-inducing, after a while.
Then again, if I had been at school, I'd be complaining about the utter boring-ness of lessons again.
(is there even a term to describe unassuagable boredom?)

Got a new phone today, since my old one died completely this... Monday or so. The features are nowhere near as awesome as my old one, but it does have slightly better specs.
(I should get an AV adapter for it soon... like, why can't phone makers just use the standard 3.5mm jacks already? =.=)

Aha~n.

Then again, this is the same magazine which published this (also rather NSFW)

EDIT: Since 'NSFW' is apparently too... broad a warning, this specifically may cause clawing at eyes and rummaging for brain bleach, as well as loss of whatever little sanity is left. In other words, your likely reaction: OHGAWDMYEYESTHEYBURNWTFISTHISNOOOOOSPAREME.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (of being stuck at home with a high fever).

Good:
~I don't have to deal with both Math and English test while feeling disoriented.
~I get to skip school.

Bad:
~I. Feel. Like. Crap.
~And I can't fall asleep, thus fever keeps on rising.

Ugly:
~My brain has returned to playing word association with itself. Normally that would be amusing and a good way to pass the time, but right now my brain just feels sluggish.

NOTE TO SELF: Never ever bite down on a clove of garlic again. Even if said clove just spent the last 5hrs boiling and is now a limp shred. It tastes really strong. And not in a good way.

Drabble~

In the end, it turned out not to be the piece of fluff I was expecting. That's not a good thing. (I think.)
It's also nowhere near as good as I would have liked, but meh.

- #6: Recognize -

"Stop!"

The panicked cry from behind causes Edward to pause and turn, hesitating, his arm-turned-blade barely a millimeter away from Greed's - no, from Ling's neck.

The strip of cloth that contained Ling's message gripped tightly in one hand, a knife in the (trembling) other, Lan Fan runs up to Edward, her mask askew and about to fall off, her hair dishevelled.

Ling, still pinned to the floor, turns his head to watch her arrive. "Oh? Another of your human friends?"

"Young Master, you're safe!" Breathing a sigh of relief, Lan Fan lets the cloth strip fall, fluttering to the ground next to Ling. "But the philosopher's stone..."

"Just let me deal with him, he's a homunculus!" Edward argues, his blade inching closer towards Ling's still-exposed neck.

Her eyes narrowing, Lan Fan engages Edward's arm-blade, twisting it away from its intended path of piercing Ling's throat.

"I'll not let you harm Young Master, no matter what."

"Lan Fan, he's a homunculus now! He was trying to kill me just a while ago!"

"I wouldn't actually have killed you, you know." Ling smirks, meeting Edward's glare with a smug gaze of his own. "Just maybe crippled you a little before bringing you to Father."

"Young Master!" Disraught, Lan Fan only just barely manages to deflect Edward's stab this time. "What... what about Xing?"

Ling opens his mouth to reply, for a moment seeming to go back to his old self, before the self-assured light returns to his eyes. "It'll be part of the world I rule."

Edward slashes downwards, intent on finally striking. Lan Fan jumps forward, catching his arm. Edward turns, manages to stop the blade from stabbing her, tries to push her away. Lan Fan draws her other knife--

Neither of them sees Greed's clawed arm rising swiftly behind Edward.

fin.

Pretty sure Lan Fan's characterization is very off, but I'm not a very big fan, and I'm lazy to go reference the manga... ^^
Edward is very off, but meh.

And now, Zak, you owe me a fic too! xD

*yawn*

Right. I have maybe 5min more to type this before break-in-middle-of-Bio ends.

RANDOM OBSERVATION OF THE DAY: Drawing is a pretty good way of staying awake in Bio! ^^

Miscalculated last night, and got home almost 45min later than I'd planned to. Argh.

2ch is amusing. If taxing to understand. Although 4chan > 2chan > 2ch.

Lesson starting. Time to end this.

YOG failz.

It just took them nearly 10min to get to the countries beginning with M.

I gave up at around C.

RANDOM OBSERVATION OF THE DAY: McDonalds' current Happy Meal toy series includes translucent red or blue plastic orbs that are supposed to be Rasengan and Chidori. I am distinctly amused.
(It also includes badly made Naruto and Sasuke figurines. If they're even worthy of being called figurines at all.)

Some things were just never meant to mix.

Like "more engaging lessons" and sex ed.

I have one thing to say about today afternoon:
Too. CENSOREDing. Hot.

Note to self: next time I go there will be preferably at night. Or else late afternoon. With plenty of mosquito repellent. And long pants.

Right, time to start on CS~

4. Give at least 2 suggestions on how we can further improve the implementation.

...just let us program it directly in already...

I... should definitely be sleeping.

Then again, the thing about the-day-before-school-starts is that I always end up waking up as late as possible - preferably 12pm or so, which is hardly conducive to sleeping early enough that I can get up on time tomorrow.

Thus there is a relatively high chance that I will end up late for school tomorrow.

Oh, and one of the epic-est things I've read in a long time:
(aka, the not-quite-epitome of breaking the fourth wall. i love this story. and its author.)

“See, this here’s like a room. Roof, floor, and four walls. One-two-three-four, got it? Only this one here, this fourth wall? It’s not really here. You all pretend like it’s really here, but it’s not. I really don’t see why you people can’t understand that. It’s all fake, don’t you see? None of this—this here—none of it really exists. We’re all just figments of some fool’s imagination, forced to dance for the amusement of total strangers he barely knows and we shouldn’t even know exist. It’s a bloody travesty is what it is. Now you all think I’m crazy...maybe I am, but that’s not important!”

...

“Once upon a time...is a stupid way to start a story.”

If anyone besides the man who uttered the sentence would have been present upon the mountain’s side, perhaps they would have asked him why he chose to speak those exact words in such a place in the world. Perhaps he would have told them about story clichés and predictable adventure plots for over an hour, three minutes of which the listener would have actually cared about before attempting to tell him to just shut up, and failing to do so. However, as he was in fact the only sentient person present on that mountain’s side, his sentence went without rebuttal, forcing him to expound upon it by himself.

“I mean, seriously, can you get any more pathetic? I start a story like that, and right then I’m thinking, ‘Laaaaame.’ There’s no power behind it anymore.” He bent over to look at some old stone steps which had once built a solid staircase up the mountain, now little more than grown-over depressions and broken rocks in a barely-distinguishable path upwards. Picking up a small piece of debris from off the ground, he tossed it back and forth in his hands as he walked upwards, sometimes waving it around like a piece of chalk in front of a classroom.

...

In response, he dipped his hands into the water and pulled out a small chunk of newly-fashioned ice. Setting it on the ground, he pointed to it. “This…is a block of ice.” The block then rose a foot into the air. “This is me, levitating a block of ice.” Without hesitation he jumped onto the block, which remained as solid as if it was held by steel beams. He pointed to it once more. “This is me, levitating myself, via a block of ice.” Satisfied with his explanation, he pulled another few streams of icy water out of the lake and around his legs, creating a very solid pair of frozen boots which he then used to walk upon thin air with.

“And this is me, levitating me, wearing cool boots, flying away, like a block of ice. If you don’t believe me, too bad, because I’m not planning on explaining it again.”

Chinese = LOST CAUSE

Even if it's weeks overdue.
Even if it's only 8 questions.

(i should really just drop to normal chinese.)

mood: back to crappy.

well, looks like it didn't last.

On another note, I feel like I'm turning into a hikikomori. Somewhat.
Although it is kind of nicer when there's no one else at home.

(although all my other relatives are probably going to interrogate me next week as to why i was missing yesterday.)

(ohcrap my printer is running out of ink. probably shouldn't have tried to print out so many scores at once.)

I think I like that place a little too much.
Something tells me that I'm going to end up going back there the next long break I get. Which would hopefully be next Wednesday.

And now I realise once again just why I hate keyboards as opposed to pianos.
>.<

Piano = EMOTION.
Keyboard = crappy synthesised sounds that I can hardly even control the volume of + I can't get any 'feel' from the notes + the keys are too CENSOREDing light.
Plus there's no pedal, so I can't play legato.

(i've been printing scores for the past 15min, and they're still not done. i really shouldn't have tried printing them all at once.)



Aha~n.

almost-sacred paradise.

Or at least, that's what it felt like for a moment.

It's also strangely calming.
If only more places like that existed...



来た道と行き先　振り返ればいつでも　臆病な目をしていた僕
向き合いたい　でも　素直になれない
まっすぐに相手を愛せない日々を
繰り返しては　ひとりぼっちを嫌がったあの日の僕は
無傷のままで人を愛そうとしていた

I am either:
a) a hopeless stalker
b) still a hopeless stalker
c) a hormonally-charged teenage idiot
d) all of the above

Go on, make a guess.

Damn you Filter Keys.

You just caused me to die while I was trying to play Double Spoiler.
AND I CAN'T TURN OFF THE ANNOYING NOTIFICATION THINGY.

Speaking of which, I don't like MSN anymore. Dealing with people there is just plain tiring and annoying. Not to mention awkward at times.

Chaos;Head is awesome. Although it's not the kind of game you want to play alone in your room at midnight. Just saying.
(freaky laughter ftw~)

My brains feels too mushed to actually post anything vaguely non-rambly here.

Why is it that even though this sem's Bio is much more interesting than last sem's and we have a better teacher (relatively, at least), I still have to fight the urge to just go to sleep gotosleepyouaresleepy in Bio class?
(why don't i feel like sleeping in chinese at least?)

11pm. Time to try and sleep.
