   Keyboard + Random Train of Thought = ...
Well, I'm trying to get into the habit of writing a journal sort of a thing every day, but...huh...I really don't know what to write...maybe I should describe my day...

First thing in the morning, I crawl out of bed, usually after an hour or so of staring at the ceiling, willing myself up, and walk up the stairs. From there, I've made a habit of checking the bathroom mirror every morning. I don't know why though...

Afterwards, I'll go find my mom and dog, say good morning, and then hit the computer. I'll play Ragnarok Online for a while or post at the OtakuBoards and then my day depends on the day.

If it's Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, I'll go to the gym with my mom and aunt and work out for about 30 minutes or so. We'll then go shopping briefly, only for groceries and the like.

Back at home, I'll do pretty much anything from writing, to drawing, to playing video games, to posting. On Fridays I'll watch a little bit of TV and then hit the sack.

Fun, no?

Yeah, my life is sooooooo boring...Or, it is now. I've learned my lesson well. NEVER beg for an adventure. Otherwise it'll come and smack you in the face and you might just regret it. So if anyone's listening, I am NOT begging for an adventure! Nope! Not me!

Ok, maybe a little adventure, but one that doesn't involve a life threatening situation this time...

Interested? I bet you are! I guess I might as well tell a bit...I've always wanted to, but...

Anyways, a year ago, a new girl moved into town and we became friends almost instantly. We were both at a church camp, and I decided that I wanted to meet the new girl. So, I left some bait.

Bait equals A random story laid out on the ground.

She noticed me attempting to edit my writing, and came over for a look.

And, we became pretty darn good friends.

However, in the fall and winter of that year, during a slumber party, she began having nightmares. I asked her to explain, and apparently someone had been stalking her...Someone murderous.

And she found her.

And, unfortunately for me, being the video game fanatic that I am, decided that I could protect her.

This descision gave birth to my favorite quote: "If you're up to something good, chances are you're on the bad dude's menu."

So, instead of wiping out my friend (whose name is to be protected and not given out!) the guy decided to get me first.

Well, anyways...the guy's in jail now. Yeah...Crazy story that you don't hear every day and would have trouble believing? HA! Trust me, I'm still having trouble believing everything that we went through is true...And that's not even the hslf of it...

Anyways...what else could I blab about...I'm going to try and get everything down until my brain runs out of ideas and I go into catastrophic meltdown...Huh...Oh, hey...there's Golden Sun...Good, now I know where both of them are! ^_^ And...huh...I just noticed some of my doodles on my computer...I've got to get back into RPing...Sigh...Kosho is so cute as a Chibi! X3 Kosho is my Role-playing character, by the way...His name might change, but until then...Speaking of which, I think I'll go look up a name for him right now!

C'ya, come again! ^^

Dark Cloud 2
Ahem!

As the grand opening to my myOtaku account, I will be...uhhh...

Okay, fine, I didn't actually have anything planned...So...I guess I'll just ramble about my newest video game obsession! Yeah! ^_^

Dark Cloud 2 rocks. I haven't played the original, and no one refered this game to me, so this one was a literal shot in the dark.

Or a last minute descision at Hollywood Video.

As soon as I got home, I logged onto the computer and checked out the game's rating on gamespot. 9.0! Not bad at all! Absolutely itching to play the game, I hurried to my fortress of solitude, plugged in the PS2, and started playing.

The story started out incredibly strong, right in the middle of all the action, which is an incredibly good idea for video-game designers and writers alike.

I also only started playing this game about 4 days ago, so if my memory of the game is a little shaky, bear with it, ok?

The entire game, from what I've seen so far, is told something like a letter to a certain character's certain relative--No Spoiler for you!--Which makes it unique. The flashbacks, for instance, are so cute at times that it makes a dragon like myself squeal. ^^;;

Example:
"Mother, am I going to die?"
"No, don't be silly. You won't die."
"Then why does my head feel so faint..."
"You'll be fine if you just rest."
"No, it's too late. Call the Priest!"
"You'll be fine! Besides, it's the Priest's day off. So if you don't hold on, you can't go to heaven."
"What?! That stinks!"

Heheh! So kawaii! X3

There's a lot that makes this game unique. The main character, Max, is RICH! Not many video game characters I know of are very rich. Max is also a genius inventor, which brings a LOAD of new gameplay posibilities, such as inventing stuff, and, my personal favorite, interesting weapons.

Come on! Who would think of using a wrench as a weapon! That one definately strayed from the cliched swords and sorcery, despite the fact that Monica dragged it all back in. It's all almost as insane as my idea of using a chimney sweep broom as a weapon...My idea! No stealy!

This part will have spoilers! GASP! If you haven't played the game yet, please cover your ears, close your eyes, and shout LALALALALALALA! until someone tells you to shut up. I guess just scrolling down past the spoilers would be easier, but the LALALA thing would be so much more entertaining to watch...

SPOILER!!!
All the coolness in the world can be summed up into two worlds: Time Travel. *insert happy dance here* Unfortunately, the time traveling in the game let the fanfiction part of my mind loose...

NOT SPOILER!!!
For some reason, whenever I play a game, I always have to make something horrifically bad happen to the main character. For example, while playing Golden Sun, I made it so that whenever poor Isaac used up all of his Psynergy, he fainted. This only happened for a certain amount of time and was almost ridiculously humorous in some situations.

Scared yet? You should be! *grin*

EDIT: Huh, I just barely realized that that one code thing doesn't work here...Oh well!
