Back into the swing...
Whoa, getting up in the mornings is so much harder than it used to be. I now have less than a week to get myself organised for college.

Speaking of which, I've taken out two interesting-looking post 1985 plays from the library to read- Last Dance in Dum Dum and Things You Shouldn't Say After Midnight. I'm supposed to have read as many as possible, but I only actually started looking this week. Best get reading, then...

Money!
I've started selling more Yu-Gi-Oh cards, which is nice for me and the people who end up buying them ^_^ Making money's almost as nice as spending it, hehe. Not that I'm materialistic or anything...

Oh dear, I appear to have been banned from AEBoards. What a shame. I'd not been there in about three weeks, so I'm guessing it's over what I posted in James' MyOtaku site.

*shrugs* Ah well. Such is life, I guess.

Retail Therapy
I have about 60 CDs comprising mostly of anime soundtracks, and about 30-40 of which I listen to on a rotational basis. Heh, I need a 10-deck CD player.

Anyway, I've just ordered another one- a collection of StarChild anime themes (e.g. Evangelion, Nadesico, Gundam, Slayers, and Lost Universe). Wow! I was going to get two separate CDs of Nadesico and Universe otherwise, this gives me much more ^_^ I pleased. Although I might have to wait about 8 weeks for it >___<;

On top of that, I've the Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 Perfect Collection on order, seeing as our Sky Digibox has kicked the bucket for the moment -_- Damn technology. The man man's coming over on Thursday to fix it, though, so I hopefully won't miss Eva on Saturday. These aren't the ones I really need to see, though, so it's not too crucial. I really want to see The Birth of NERV and the one where Eva-03 appears. My favourite Eva, hehe. It's strange, but I always tend to like the characters who die part-way through the story. I want to find out about my past lives and find out if this has any relevance, just out of interest.

Maybe I was Eva 03. Pfft...

Breakdown
Wow, I'm getting really slow for RPGs. There's been nothing much that appeals to me to sign up for, and most of the ones I'm in already are disappearing fast.

I couldn't see the point of them at first, and thought 'Ah, I'll never get into these'. Poor naive me...

Signed-up for:
None at the moment, but previously all of the below.

Playing in:
When Humans Are the Enemy- boy, I need to post in this more. I've forgotten what Alaris is doing, though. When I check I'll post again. I really like it, though.

Digimon: Resurrection- One of mine. I should post in that more, too. But having a lot of people sign up and then forget doesn't help. Mind you, it's probably my fault for starting it late...

Zoids: Endless Conflict- I wish more people would post in this >_< I've never had a decent Zoids RPG before.

Nazreal- Search for the Golden City- I really liked this one of mine. It's still there, just, but I've kind of given up on it. Not that it matters really- it was only experimental. But if I do it again (which I think I will), I'll actually figure out what they have to do before starting it.

Finished RPGS:
Digimon Masters: Fight for Friendship- Sage! I loved this one ^_^ My very first finished RPG, hehe. Great fun.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Exodia's Legacy- Another one I was proud of, and the only one of mine to have actually finished, heh.

Failed RPGs:
Tranformers: Universe- Got one sign-up.
Digimon in the Real World- Mmm, my first RPG, and Shy, Sara and Ginny were in it, too. It's a pity it didn't get very far.
Starfox- Kareck Invasion- Bleh, didn't plan this one very well, and I tried to make it too technical. Meh, we all make mistakes.
Digimon Masters II Sequels don't tend to work so well... at least, none that I've tried do. Shame, though, as some of the characters were really great.
Digimon Tamers II I'm guessing this one's over- Leh said he'd make a fanfic out of it if it didn't work, and there's a thread in P,FF & L...
Digital Chaos- Meh, won't go into that.
Digimon- one of Mina's and I can't remember it's name >_< The characters she designed were fantastic, though.
The Chosen- I was so pleased to be accepted into Mystical Pan's guild... pity the RPG kinda flopped after a while -__-
Lady Katana's cool fantasy one The name escapes me, but wow that could have gone so well... I had a lot of ideas for my character there, heh ^_~
Don't Shoot the Goombas- Oh, I love Shy's RPGs so much. I'd have loved for these to still be going, especially
Anime Stereotype High School! My personal favourite out of all the RPGs I've signed up for. Might try and start it again, sneaky sneaky...

Flight of Dragons- Don McClean
Flight of dragons, soar in the purple light
In the sky, or in my mind?
Flight of dragons, sail past reality.
Leave illusion behind

Is it the past I see
When I look up to the heavens;
Believing in the magic
That I know could never be?

I want to go where they are going,
Into the world they've been.
Can I open up my mind enough to see?

Flight of dragons, heavenly argosies
Catch the wind, rise out of sight.
Flight of dragons, pilots of fantasy
In the sky, or in my mind?

Flight of dragons
Flight of dragons

I added a quote I liked to the sidebar there. Observe and... digest, I suppose.

It's from The Last Unicorn, by Peter Beagle. Schmendrick the magician was always one of my favourite characters, and I still dream about playing him in a film. That would be fantastic.

"Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale."

I read the book again last night, which was part of the reason I was so late for bed, heh. But I enjoyed it. I like reading late at night, it helps me relax before going to sleep. Although the sleep I get might not necessarily be so relaxed.

Bad night in
I've no idea why, but I woke up at about five-ish, I think, feeling very afraid. I've not been that scared of the dark in years, but then I just wanted to get out. I've no idea where, but just somewhere out of that room. It's bizarre. There was a strange smell in the air, kind of... plasticky rubber. I knew it, but couldn't place it. I wondered if closing my ventilator had made me start to inhale the smell of the toys, heh. I coulnd't help thinking it was some kind of warning, like something had happened to someone. I hope it hasn't. But yeah... very strange.

I had to put the music on before I could sleep again; then I had a strange dream about being on holiday somewhere in Cornwall with the Hartley Household (my reenactment group) and I kept being pulled away every time I went to look in a superstore for toys. At the perfume desk was an artist I'd wanted to talk to, but I wasn't sure whether it was actually her. Whenever I tried to say anything I lost my nerve and ran away, and I could never get in the right position to see her name tag. I never managed to in the end, but had a conversation by a phone box with Derren instead o_O; More bizarre.

I'd love to remember some of the other dreams I've had. There've been some really nice ones that I've never been able to get down in time. Like the dragons in the shed.

Maybe some other day, heh.

Uh...
Whoo, tired... It's odd, no matter how early I start getting ready for bed, I always seem to manage getting into bed between 11 and half past.

Damn. I will write something more constructive and interesting tomorrow, I hope, but at the moment I'm really too tired.

I shouldn't be jealous. It's not right and not fair.

But damn, it's hard not to be >_<; Maybe I should have a cold shower or something. Or just a shower. Not had one in a few days...
