September 5th - Adventure Fail

Hello solar system, look who's updating before 11pm!

I don't know which video game to play. I started Final Fantasy 5, played for literally about two minutes and turned it off. Then I started playing Final Fantasy 6, played it for two minutes, paused and watched an entire Shania Twain concert, then played for another ten minutes or so.

I haven't beat Black Sigil yet. But I don't have any desire to play it today for some reason. I also haven't played Pokemon Platinum (in which I only have one gym badge) or Pokemon HeartGold (in which I still need the last Kanto badge) for a long time but I don't really want to play those either. I haven't beat Dante's Inferno for PS3, I haven't even played it in two or three months. I haven't beat God of War 3, or Fairytale Fights. I have also not beat Riviera: The Promised Land for PSP or Hexyz Force.

More games I haven't played in forever or beat; Baten Kaitos, Geist, Lost Kingdoms, Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 for DS, Chrono Trigger DS, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for GBA, Tales of Legendia, aaaaand... there are probably tons and tons more.

I also started writing a script (sort of, I have like three lines) for an idea for a video game that I had even though I know that even if I go through all the effort of writing a whole script there's very little chance that anything will come of it. But it would be awesome if something did.

As a side note - the Shania Twain concert was kind of amazing. I haven't really listened to anything of hers in a long time, but she sounds exactly the same live as she does on her albums and she was just so full of energy and it was really really great. And hearing all the people cheering and singing along and seeing them dancing in the crowd and there was this one point where she invited a fan onstage and he proposed to his girlfriend and she said yes and then she invited them to stay on stage and slowdance during the next song.

So if anyone knows of a place where I could download her albums (not that I actually would... because that is wrong >.> Actually come to think of it I already own four of her albums I just can't currently get them onto my computer on account of a) not having a disc drive and b) two of them being on cassette.) So yeah.

I was also looking for Backstreet Boys albums recently, which is kind of crazy because I spent a large chunk of my childhood being intensely annoyed by them.

I need to go grocery shopping and do laundry and get money out of the bank tomorrow. So my life sucks just a little wee bit. I also need to do something else, which I have already forgotten in the time it took me to start typing this sentence.

I walked to the hock shop just a while ago to see if they had any interesting games up for grabs, but they were closed .__. Stupid day off being on a Sunday. So I went to the general store and spent like $14, and I already spent $8 on lunch earlier. Hence why I need to go grocery shopping.

Completely random website recommendation... go to Google and type the name of pretty much any video game, book, movie, tv series, manga, or whatever that you can think of followed by the word 'tropes' and you will be taken to a site called television tropes & idioms, which will likely have a page for the book/movie/etc that you typed in, and you can read about all the stereotypes and archetypes that the particular media source adheres to. Maybe it's cuz I'm a giant nerd but I find it really interesting, I have literally spent hours reading through the pages on there.

Randomly going back to the Shania concert because I just remembered something, I almost cried at a couple points because I have memories of listening to this songs all through my life, since my earliest memories, and almost every single song she sings is about love in one way or another and even after all these years I have so little experiences in my life that I can relate those lyrics too. I know that being impatient and pessimistic doesn't help the situations, but someday I get thinking about certain things and those times are hard on me. I wish it didn't bother me but it does. I am going to cut this off before it deteriorates into a jumbled mass of angst. Toodles for now!
