Well, it went a little better after I vented at you guys. My mom and I emailed back and forth (she's upstairs, and I'm downstairs, so she likes doing that for fun ^_^), and I told her what was bothering me. She said she had already promised to get a turkey breast for the two of us, since we're the only ones who like it, and was surprised because she had thought I had known that. And then Dad apologized for yelling at me, especially through my bathroom door. ^_^ So it went better.
And THEN, I went on FFXII - got my second Esper, beat the second Judge, AND beat that damn Earth Tyrant sub-boss I've been fighting for weeks! Seriously, I think I was on my ninth (at LEAST) try to kill him - and I DID IT!!!! Two Espers, many Ethers and Quickenings, and stressing out later, to be sure, but I did it!! ^_^ Now I only have one Ether left.....and I can't buy them! T_T Ah well....it was damn worth it, let me tell you. I haven't felt that amount of satisfaction with a game for a long time. I mean, the feeling of achievement I had was really nice. ^_^
So today didn't totally suck. But I still want turkey - it's a ritual thing in our house. And my mom makes it so good...but at least she said she'd get us one.
I'm on a Furuba stint now, for whatever reason. I got my first vol. back from my friend, FINALLY, on Sunday, so I guess now I'm really happy about that still. My manga are my children! (Shh....don't tell my laptop!!)
Oh, and thanks to
Wings of Dream for giving me a turkey. ^_^ Or multiple ones....
Back to FFXII. Balthier is totally my fav - he's just so cool! I have a few suspicions about him, but I'll keep 'em to myself. Basch is up next - what a badass. ^_^ And third is Fran. I mean, c'mon. Penalo goes friggin' FAAAAAAST, though. I mean, holy crap! O_o She gets three hits in for every one of Balthier's! And he's fast too! I mean, whoah. Impressive. But I really like this game. I mean, I like all my games, but this one has a special flavor to it or something.....I dunno. Maybe it's because I haven't gotten a Final Fantasy since X-2. And I mean, I haven't beaten FFVII yet, but we all know what happens. -_- So, I mean, there's no surprise - no anticipation. Just a lot of swearing when the controls freak me out. But, I digress. FFXII is just so cool - I like how it puts the characters with the plot, not vice-versa like the others. It's an interesting change - a fresh outlook. All other RPGs, with some possible exceptions, deal with the characters' problems against a plot, ya know? Maybe that's what makes FFXII different. And it's one of the few with such a grown-up plot, besides Xenosaga. It's just really cool.
Hmm....I'm gonna be lazy as sin tomorrow. Four-day weekend, whoot! And then back to the grindstone. I wonder what I'll do over the weekend.....no idea. Whatever. For whatever reason, I still can't write - just no urge. I think all the problems with ff.net are looming over my head. "Why write when I don't know if I'll even be able to post it??" I think. Anyone know another site like that where I could post fanfiction up, in worse-case scenario? AND I STILL NEED AVATAR SITES, PEOPLE!!!!
I'll catch everyone later. I hope ya'll had a good day, if not a good Thanksgiving. C. out.
