Its late...

Yeah, its after midnight, but in any case I just woke up. I forgot to change my status to away on MSN Messenger and so two of my friends had attempted to talk to me thinking I was on. Well, I finally got up to see that they are no longer on, which makes me feel bad, since one was Shayla, who doesn't get on much to talk to us in the first place. She had asked if I wanted to hang out tomorrow, but since I missed her Im pretty much screwed. Lately Ive been spending all waking hours replaying my game "Radiata Stories" Im playing a different path. You see eventually towards the middle of the game, you have to choose whether to go the Human or non-human path. When I first got the game, I played the non-human path. It was the right thing to do considering I was a human and the rest of my kind were being assholes and started the war. SO I got through that, but then now, over half a year later when I decide to play it again, I chose the other path. Eventhough, I really didn't want too, I knew I had to do it to see how that side would end. I felt bad doing it the whole time. First I was doing the right thing by fighting the assholes and now I am the assholes. I would hope that through this torture I would find a happier ending. You see the first ending..........(if you are playing or are going to play this game, dont read this for it gives away the ending of the non-human path, I'll say when spoilers are over).........It ends with the main character, Jack Russell, getting the girl, Ridley. Whether they are just good friends or something more is unclear currently. So you'd think, "happy ending", right? WRONG! Jack may have been spared for helping the non-humans, but for the cosmic order to become balanced again, all humans must perish. Its a balance that is upheld by dragons. there are two in particular. The gold dragon and the silver dragon. When one dragon is awake the other sleeps. This happens at an interval for about several centuries. Currently it is the silver dragons reign. Then, when they believe humankind will destroy the world its time to switch, and when the gold dragon wakes up it will slaughter all of man kind, supposedly refreshing the world. I admit, as I was playing the human path, I learned it was also a fairly reasonable cause. You see the silver dragon, who is currently awake, favors us humans. He's trying to stop the gold dragon from awakening so that we may live on. He believes that it should be unsure whether or not humans will doom the world, seeing as they have never been given the chance to live on. I felt like it was kind of right, It was unfair. When the world is refreshed, its humans who suffer. Dragons never die, they just go into a deep slumber for a while if defeated. So the dragons dont suffer. The elves live on by transpiritation, Im sure the other fairy-creatures are immortal as well. So you think, its the immortals and us, we've got the short end of the stick, and you begin to feel a bit selfish. In the non-human ending, Jack lived and got Ridley, however Ridley was the new vessel for the gold dragon. And fighting with the non-humans, I helped them allow the silver and gold dragons swap. Therefore, all other humans died the moment I defeated the silver dragon and Ridley inherited the gold dragon. Mothers, children, everyone. I feel kind of bad, all he had was the care he had for Ridley. His sister, his human friends were all gone. So Im hoping, by taking the human path, I may get a better ending. I may be able to defy fate and allow all those human mothers, children and everyone else to live. He may lose Ridley though, but there are plenty of other girls that strike his fancy. One in particular who I think likes him, Flora. So I guess in this case its more of a "survival of the species" more than a "follow your heart." I guess I'll know the ending in a day or so, seeing how Im getting close to the same time it took me to complete the non-human path..................(Spoiling is done if you care.) So yeah, thats about it, Im looking forward to our next movie night in two days. Im also excited that my brother comes home on wednesday. I may act like I hate him, but I love him just the same because we share similar interests and are close in age. He went to Illinois with my dad to visit my grandparents and for the family reunion, I think. However, my mothers side of the family had a big get together on Saturday, we took official family photos, but my brother was missing. What could you say? For him it was a choice between families, Seeing as my parents are divorced it would make a big impact who he'd choose. Me, when my dad asked if I was going to Illinois, I said no. He kinda got mad, but I made my choice. I admit, I prefer my mother's fun-loving family over my dad's all Christian family. My dad's family nags me for not being girly and tries to censor what I do. My mom's family accepts me for who I am and prefers that to celebrate, I have a Corona with them. (Not that I like it, alcohol is gross) I definately love being half mexican more than I do half Irish. Hmm...What else? Oh! This coming Saturday, my family wants to go to the Renaissance(dont know if its spelled right) festival. I like it there, though usually after walking a certain distance I would start complaining that I was tired. I think I'll be ok this time though. And I have my own money to spend,YAY! And then the weekend after that my family wants to go camping. Whether we go to the Sand Dunes or Bear Lake, depends on whether or not my sister gets work off to go. Well thats all the updates I have, I think. Later...
