My Island.

I figure, since I don't wear quite a lot of the clothes in my closet and those clothes were given to me or handed-down or bought by my mom, that I should just buy my own clothes. Nice, formal-looking ones in monochromatic colours. With a touch of red and blue and green as highlights and accessories.

I like wearing vests or jackets over long-sleeved button-up shirts. And long black pants. That's just my style, I guess. For casual wear I just wear long pants and a shirt. Everything with sneakers. Maybe I'll go on a shopping spree for once and buy things I like myself. I want to buy a black long-sleeved, button-up shirt next.

And let me tell you that I hate my subconscious sometimes...really.

A GE blog after the EOYs sound more and more appealing to me as the roleplay in my head progresses much further than I thought it would. It'd be quite interesting, really. Might not have to be a joint blog, but it could be sister blogs with someone else. :D I think mine might be quite heavily story/screenshot-based, as in it's got a plot in it, maybe.

I tried coming up with the character personalities today but I found out that their biggest flaws were that they were completely straight and rigid. I wanted to have some sort of twist in it, but my initial criteria when I was judging them for their personalities was actually WYSIWYG. Which isn't a good thing because most people aren't what you think they look like. It's just that I'm like one of those straight personalities.

Instead I went on to do part of their biodatas, like their age and upbringing. Yep, I'm going as far as classifying them by class. I even wrote a write-up about a (mostly made-up) part of Granado Espada history concerning the Wartime Nobility, the four different types of classes and their backstories/requirements, as well as what sort of jobs were suited to what class. I wrote it so that I could make sure that everyone was properly classified. The RNPCs had me troubled though.

Sure, you may think I'm paranoid, but oddly enough I was occupied for that half- to one hour writing it. This is probably the only game that ever stimulated me to even start roleplaying.

From there I'm going to copy it all down into my notebook in the GE section and keep working on it during my free-er times. After EOYs then I might still want to create a GE blog and put it all up there...or if not, then the forums? :/

Will think of the personalities of each person later. I've got seven people in my barracks now.

Lvl45 male Scout, female Elementalist and male Musketeer
Lvl41 Idge Imbrulia
Lvl35 Grace Bernelli
Lvl32 Emilia Guliano
Lvl16 male Wizard

Was training a male Wizard cos I was bored. Paired him up with Emilia for AFK training, or I'd have solo'd him all the way.

RS presentation tomorrow! One of my group's evaluators is Mrs Sia, she's really nice in comparison now! I hope she won't be too intimidating...the other two teachers, I have no idea who they are though. >< Grraar.

I dunno what homework's due tomorrow or what I was supposed to do~ Hwaaaah!

Of all the GE soundtracks I love listening to those with violin sections in them most.

In order of most listened to/most likely to listen to...

1. Violin of the Death
2. Agujero inmundo
3. Toccata and Fugue in D-
4. The G Appears
5. Purple Snow
6. Honor Winds
7. Esa Promesa
8. Al Quelt Moreza
9. Nangman Trance
10. Fantacy/Forget-me-not

More than half of the songs on this list have a short violin section. Initially Violin of the Death and Toccata sounded odd to me, but I think they've grown on me. Unfortunately three of the songs lie in a lvl 100+ map. I'm never gonna get there.

Hooked back onto GH after reading Volume 5, 7 and 8 online! Lin~ Although reading this fanfic sorta changed my perspective somewhat, we all know what limey fanfics are like (I said lime, not lemon so it's not explicitly you-know-what) ...

The story between the twins is pretty sad. For one thing, Gene (dream!Naru) is dead, and I find it sad that *spoiler* Mai actually ends up falling in love with him and not Naru all along. Sadder thing is he was trying to contact his twin for ages (psychic connection) but for some reason after his death he couldn't, except to Naru's part-time employee Mai. T______________T

I think someone translated the novels online. I bet it's gonna be sad to read the last few parts where they finally do find Gene's body. > A <

Alright, I've got to stop slacking and finish RS analysis by 2.10am. Then...I'll attempt the English compre summary and then maybe Eng Lit too.

Happy birthday, Naru and Gene!

Just finished reading Ghost Hunt volume 5 and they revealed the character biodatas at the very back. Incidentally, today's September 19 which is also their birthdays (they're twins, but one's dead). Hehehe...

At 17 years old, being taller than Jaz by 5 cm isn't really saying much.

After looking through all those Japanese and Korean GE blogs where they post random screenshots and stuff about their characters, me and Jaz thought it'd be nice if we came up with a blog of our own. We haven't really started on it yet, it was just a random idea but I think it'd be quite enjoyable. Except that I don't know what those blogs write about really. Honestly, they seem very random.

Then again all I see on the pages are ???????? ????? ??? ???? ??? because I have no language pack installed except English.

Should start taking more screenies.
--------------------------
Real life pales in comparison to virtual life.

I don't care what people say, that I'm too obsessed with games and computers, but I find them a relief to real life. Personally, I don't really like interacting with people. As my mom criticizes about my personality and my expressions, she says it puts people off interacting with me. Okay. Fine by me. If they don't like me for who I really am exactly, this emoing stone, then fine. There are other people they can befriend in this world.

In virtual life I'm living a fantasy I enjoy. I do things I can't do in real life, say, kill stuff and beat the crap out of annoying people. I get to use stuff I can't use in real life. Remember the English PE we had? That online friendships were poor substitutes to real life ones? I think in my case they suit me better than anything else. I talk more often online. Jaz can attest to that.

Online I can play alone and I wouldn't care. But when you're surrounded by people and you're alone at the same time that's when it gets somewhat painful. It's like a blatant message to you:

Hey loser. You're sitting in that corner alone and everyone else's talking to their friends. They're looking at you oddly, loser, because you're alone and you're not interacting with anyone else. What, loser, wanna be emo? Emo wannabe...

What. The. Freaking. Hell.

This is exactly what my mom means.

"You and that expression of yours! No wonder no one wants to approach you because you've got that face on. It puts people off, you think what, I don't know is it? You always put on that face. If you want to interact with people you cannot have that face on, you have to change your personality bla, bla..."

Telling me to change my personality is like telling me to change my handwriting. I'm obstinate and I will never change either of these things. They are what I feel makes me ME and don't you dare tell me otherwise, even if you're my mother. It's bad to talk about your mother this way, I know, but this is PART OF MY PERSONALITY TO BE OBSTINATE, OFFENSIVE AND WHATEVER.

"So what if you're a social butterfly? It doesn't mean everyone around you is..."
----------------------------
In short, that was a rant.

And I updated my blog. I probably won't for a very long time.
