God, I am such a nerd. I am this close to staying up all night researching the Sephiroth, in part so I can examine how they relate to Nocturne (Hitoshura as Kingdom, and the presence of God on earth? Deep and meaningful, damnit!). Dante, interestingly, appears to be an extra one that isn't always used (Da'at/Daath), which definately makes sense in one context - he's the one that doesn't fit into the order of the others, although I have yet to investigate if it relates more directly to him.

And I realized that you don't actually fight the Fiends in the numerical order of the sephiroth/candelabra, I think - unfortunately the walkthrough I skimmed to compile a list of them only lists the name of the candelabrum you is, not the number you can get by looking at it in the item menu. I'm behind on that, though, so I'm going to try and keep track as I go - I can kind of guess from the names, but they don't use the most common translations, most of the time, liekly because it probably went Hebrew > Japanese > English, or possibly even Hebrew > English > Japanese > English, probably without super-close attention to these nuances because dude, it's a video game XD; But the Sephiroth aren't always traversed in order either, and the different paths taken have different meaning.

And Jo, I'll give you this much - your Aciel is a lot better-looking than Nocturne's. His teeth...wriggle. What the hell. Although the crown makes me think 'punk lolita', which is terribly amusing.

I really feel like doing something creative, but every time I try, I run up against some sort of block. Have a half-finished layout - I'm happy with what I've got so far, but it needs something more, and I can't figure out what; I'd like to do some RP, but I still have no one on AIM, and honestly, I don't have the energy a big LJ-based game takes; I have things I want to draw, but while my art is better than it was a year ago, it's still utter crap, and I can't move past that; I've got about a million and one half-finished story bits, mostly fic, although with a few Issac-Raphael bits, but I can't concentrate long enough to add anything coherent to any of them.

Argh. This is driving me up the wall. I don't want to get stuck in the rut of just doing school stuff all the time.

You are getting way to worked up about this, and it's because you're tired. Being tired always makes things seem ten times worse than they actually are. Take a step back, eat your chocolate bar, and at least attempt to be rational about this, particularly because you did kind of make an ass of yourself there.

Or if you can't be rational about it, call and make an appointment with counselling, because it's what they're there for. But you are _not_ going to let this sit around and become a huge mess. We're through with that, alright?

Love,
Me

PS: Study for that chem midterm!

For the third lecture in a row, my Bio prof is out. And for the third lecture in the row, nobody has bothered to send out an e-mail or anything. It irritates me, and I live on-campus - a good chunk of my class most likely busses, possibly from Burnaby and Richmohnd, which is an hour ride at best. Today is definately looking like a two cups of tea sort of day, though.

In better news - the neighbor has finally gotten the hint, possibly because I went and asked her to turn the music down every day for four or five in a row. Which means that during the day, it is now at a tolerable level (ie, if I have music on, I can't har it), and it's gone at night. And the new tv is working out stupendously, even if it's still just sitting on my floor. But I can sit at my desk and play video games, which I did for several hours yesterday, and will probably do so today, too, at least before I have to go to work tonight.

Also, self? Gym. Today. No excuses.

The bass, it is making me craaaaazy. Fifty minutes until quiet hours start @.@ Also, people - talk to me? Not necessarily right now, as I may go off and try to get some homework done, but like...in general. I'm on MSN and AIM lots, but I'm convinced most of you secretly hate me or something, and having one sided-conversations suck tremendously, so I've given up trying to IM all but the three or four people I know will actually talk to me.

In good news, I have a tv now (which was really fucking heavy, let me tell you), and more Dante, of the gigantic lit-geeky sort. Although speaking of the other Dante...what made him think cowboy boots/pants that look like cowboy boots (I can't tell, that's the scariest bit) were a good idea? They weren't. They're worse than the manbra.

...The chair I'm sitting in is _vibrating_ with the bass. WHYYYYYY.

There are certain persons I would really like to pin against something and kiss absolutely senseless. Or, y'know, maybe a bit more.

I need either more courage or less hormones, I think. (And I know, the temporarily solution is to write pr0n. Which I may do.)

Local people! Anybody want me around this weekend? I'm all for seeing people, but I know there's work and other plans and what-not XD; I also at this point will probably want to sleep a lot, which I can't do here - goddamn loud floor ><

Drop me a comment/e-mail/IM and lemme know.

Now that I've actually read some of the info (look, I've been busy), and thus _have_ thoughts. The combo system sounds awesomely sexy - kind of like DMC3 and KH's bastard love-child. And there are some who are probably rolling their eyes at that, but I did find KH's combo system fun, just too easy. I don't actually mind the lack of style actions, because other than Dark Slayer, I never really used any of the style commands. I will, however, probably be a bit disappointed if it turns out Nero genuinely doesn't have any secret connection to Dante. Because then they're just sort of reusing character designs, and that's lame. I'm also definately digging the new scenery, particularly that it has more outdoor sections, and seems to have lightened up a touch from the overwhelming WoD-style thing they had going for a while. And...is Dante wearing the manbra again? Because dude, no. Shirtlessness is aaaaall good by me, but the manbra is just silly.

Oh, and Nero's gun has totally got me thinking about how that would be mechanically possible (which it would, pretty easily), and kind of hanging my head in frustration at the phrase 'vertically double-barreled' which to me just comes off as awkward - the usual terminology is 'over and under', I think, although that's in shotguns - I've never heard of double-barrelled rifles or pistols, although they may exist.

You know what I really want right now? A bowl of honey. Or frosting. I've got granulated sugar, but that's just not the same. Shoulda bought some at Safeway, although I wasn't craving it then, and spent more than I really should have anyway.

And regarding my last entry - I feel less guilty about going there because Alexander Pope did too, in part. I just didn't pick up on it when I was reading (we're doing The Rape of the Lock right now).

And so there's some content here, have some kid!Sparda-twins fluff. It's a bit pointless, but Mara said it felt like the begining of something more, so...will see, I guess.

( Vergil is probably reading 'The Prince' or something. Nut. )

Just posting to let people know I have not in fact died or anything - got home last night just fine, but the time in-between has been filled with doing things, or feeling dead. So long squeeful posts will have to come later, particularly after I figured out what I can post without people killing me XD;
