Fnehburgers!!
I dunno what that means.

Well, I deleted my old AC (Animal Crossing) town and started up a new one. Before, I was collecting fish and bugs by messing with the game's clock, and now I've just decided to start all over and do it the normal way, which is what like to do in general (but yeah, I can get carried away sometimes, lol). Same name and character, but different peeps and different layout (so it pretty much had always been Erica living in Shig Bay--weird name, but then again, it's me doing the naming). I got the circle grass pattern, which is my fave pattern, lol.

I swear, the terrain for my town's layout is crazy! The river is oddly long and very winding, and there's a crooked, crazy plateau that I constantly get lost on while searching for a ledge down.

After settling in, I decided to head over to Wailuku, my sis's town on the next memory card, to nab a wider variety of items in Nook's Dept. Store, and dig up more gyroids to sell. There were a lot more neighbors there, too, so that opened up more opportunities for favors and errands to run.

When I got back (and I absolutely HATE Rover--he holds up my transfer every fricking time, and I get tired of drawing Blanca's fat face whenever I see her), one of my neighbors moved to Wailuku, which kinda made me mad cause I liked the guy, and it was the FIRST DAY, lol.

I forgot to save my goggle pattern (for clothing) at my sis's Tailor Shop, so I'll have to do it again.

Well, a lady from the Art Institute of Portland called me today for an interview with me and Mom over the phone. *Head is still slightly boggled from all the discussion* x_o;

The thing I'm most concerned about is the tuition and costs. And I'm kinda pressured about the required classes--history (well, like History of Art, Graphic Design, etc.), math, and science. GAH, dammit all--my worst subjects--woondeeeeful.

Blah. I'm too lazy to elaborate right now, lol. Concept art, storyboarding, and character design are my strongest artistic strengths. Second to those is MAYBE graphic design (if I had my way, I'd spend a LOT of time in Photoshop LOL), animation (traditional or computer--whichever suits me), and writing.

Anyways, with that temporarily aside, I picked up Tales of Destiny II last night. I LOVE THAT GAME!! Good God, I've never quite played a game that comes so close to summing up ALL of my RPG preferences--the graphics are to die for, absolutely what I've always sought, and will continue to seek, and the music is so magical, that I can't even go into details, but then again, details generally annoy me. :-P

AND, one of my favorite parts about it are the cutscenes--they're so awesomely integrated into the game, unlike ToS. *GROWLS* I love watching them so much, lol. If only Farah didn't have such HUGE EYES! o.O;;

BUT, the battles piss me off too much. I'm trying to level up around the tree village (starts with an 'M'), but one battle pits me against like, 5 Killer Bees and 2 bigass caterpillars, and another battle, about 5 (baby?) Egg Bears and 2 HUGE werewolf things. I leave ONE battle with one or more characters almost depleted of its HP and TP, even dead sometimes. I have my strategies and formations set up jes' fine, but I mean, C'MON here! WTF's going on?? I never quite had as much trouble in ToP and ToS as I have been in THIS game!! >_<+ And I have the AI's TP usage set on '2'. There's no other place I can go to to get better equipment, period. And I'm on my way to fight that God-forsaken water-b**** Undine. She's HAUNTS ME!

OHOHOH!! Speaking of the Tales series, I entered Namco's contest on their official site a while back (I think in August/September), to win a set of three collectible Tales of Symphonia cards, and I WON! GAAAAAAH!! YESH!!! YESHYESHYESH!!! I got the e-mail on the 20th comfirming such (and trust me, I completely forgot about the contest, LOL), and it'll be about 2 weeks max from that point until they process and ship it. They'll e-mail me once the cards've been shipped.

Good God! I've never won a contest before!! Whoo!!! ^o^

But more importantly, I get the cards!! Hahaha! Yeah, I'm a total geek, but who cares?! I won!!!
