Yeah, the title kinda says it all, for the most part...We just had tacos for lunch, and I'm not sure if it was the salsa or what, but my stomach is KILLING ME. DX

Anyway, just been playing A LOT of Animal Parade, obviously. I'm STILL working on the damn Purple Bell, but I'm about...4/10ths of the way done. I'm getting ready to play here again in a few minutes and get the date cutscene with the Wizard. 83 Which is good, because then I never have to bother trying to raise his heart level ever again, because I already got his wish for the damn fresco for the bell. Muahahaha...And I got to go the the Starry Night Festival with Gill. XDDD He's such a dork.

And that, really, is all for now. Gotta cut my nails at some point today; it's damn hard to type on this thing with these claws.

-- This is another post full of SPOILERS for "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade" --

...OK, I thought the Yellow and Blue Bells were frustrating. D8

( Seriously now, this is just disgusting. )

Seriously, Natsume? Really?

So, now I'm working on all that...I'm terrified to see what it takes to finish up the storyline, so I can get to mauling bachelors. XD

OH, and just to freak people out...Because this is kinda gross...If a second person turns on a second Wiimote (or if you grab one whenever you want it), they can take a little red heart-shaped cursor and...Rub villagers, pets/wild animals, and livestock for a small boost in friendship levels. Yes, I said rub. Seriously.

Is that not awkward? XD

-- For the record, this post is LOADED with SPOILERS for "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade" --

Duuude...I am sooo tired. D8 And I really have no reason to be.

...Besides being up until 1am playing "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade". 7__7*

( READ OF THE INSANITY, MY FRIENDS. )

... ... ... ... ...I have no comment, seriously. I really don't.

But, I guess I can't complain too much, though I CAN rant, since I DID actually get it...I also know from looking at the HM:AP board at GameFAQs that I'm not the only one that had this problem. ...Though I guess I AM the only one that wound up with basically $20 worth of GS.com credit. >>*

Moving on...

I've been playing for a couple days now, and since they slowed down time by 3x, I'm not even through Spring of Year 1 yet. o_o I've decided I'm going to chase Gill in this one, since I had Owen in the last one and always kinda regretted it. For him I have to ring the damn Green Bell still, and that's just a cramp, because I need some stuff I can't get ahold of yet. D8 Considering my track record, maybe I'd be better off with Julius...

( Seriously, this is as bad as trying to GET the game! )

>_____< Needless to say, both the Yellow and Blue Bells rang today, dammit.

I'm sorta tempted, even after all this, to actually get all the free gifts and dates and watch all the cutscenes from ALL of the bachelors, just because I can. It would make the game SO much longer, and harder, since you lose affection points with ALL the other bachelors when you get a confession of love from one of them. XD We shall see what happens, I suppose...My mother wants to chase the Wizard in her game. o__O* I should really have seen that coming, I suppose.

Tristan is probably going after Renee in AP and after maybe Kathy in "Tree of Tranquility", if he ever actually sits down to PLAY ToT again. I don't mind him taking Renee, since as far as I'm concerned TOBY SHALL NOT KNOW LOVE, but whatever. XD He screwed himself on the free cow at the beginning of the game, because he hadn't saved after doing everything and then told the guy he "wasn't ready" for the calf yet, so he didn't get to take it at all. XD Ouch.

Other than all that, not a heck of a lot going on right now. Gotta go pick up Tristan from work, and then come back and print out 10 more pages worth of HM:AP walkthrough junk. I'm up to 53 pages, and I think I might finally be done. XD

I'm a total stalker.


^ Ghost Hunters Live Camera 2 @ Syfy.com/GHLive ^

I don't know why I felt the need to do this. I just did. YAY FOR 10 SECONDS IN PAINT!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, D00DZ!

So yeah, I totally just spent like...Forever working on the beginnings of what will eventually be my new custom mood theme. 8D

While I do LOVE my current theme - since Resident Evil is WIN - I decided it was time to make it even a little more custom and more personal by making a set I'm titling "Little Me". The only one I've completed thus far is "accomplished", and I totally intend on doing all 130+ moods, just for the sake of being random and thorough and occupying my typically boring time.

Here be that one that's done:



Cute, no? 83 I think so. I'm making them using the Lady Po & Kiddy Po base by hollinesskiss @ DeviantArt. I love how cute and small and easy to use it is for something this time-consuming and...Sort of annoying as this. XD

Hopefully I'll get more done this weekend or something, or maybe early next week.

No, seriously. I can't. xD

Honestly, it makes me think of Princess Peach and Princess Daisy. And for some reason, I felt the undying need to make a complete turnaround from the way my journal has been looking since I started it...So YAY BRIGHT COLORS.

...

At least for now. >O

And just for the sake of letting everyone know, I started a couple of communities today, just for the hell of it. hm_brightskies and exe_millenium, to be more specific. Harvest Moon: Brightening Skies is a semi-private literate Harvest Moon RP I'm going to start with Tristan, just for the sake of getting into the swing of RPing again...If by some freak accident anybody is interested in joining it, let me know. Rockman.EXE Millenium is a PRIVATE literate RP for the purpose of storyline development, and will include only Tristan and myself. We really want to work on our EXE fic, and we're hoping this'll help us iron out the wrinkles...

Also, apparently numerous different anti-virus/spyware/malware/etc. programs have decided that part of the nProtect Anti-Hack software included with FlyFF is a trojan. >\ Stupid.

...Which requires getting a JOB. ...Which requires someone to actually want to HIRE ME. 7__7 Dude, I just proved to my mother the other night that literally NO ONE within like 30 miles of us is hiring. So yeah, just sayin'...

Just a quick list, 'cause I wanna see if anybody else is waiting the way I am...A checklist of the games I'm waiting to be released or come down in price so I can maybe afford them. XD

( XBox 360 )

( Wii )

( Wiiware )

( DS )

D8 Dude, do you realize how much money is sitting there just in the games for the DS? Seriously, why are these damn things so expensive? DAMN GAME MAKERS. I mean, a lot of the "cuter" games are games I'd like to play so I can play them with mom. I suppose I'll just have to see how things work out in the long run, since this list is basically my 2009 Christmas and 2010 birthday list. XD *slaps self for being a greedy gamer at heart*

Other than that, not too much going on...We've started playing Animal Crossing: City Folk again, which is kinda random. Oh, and because we downloaded the Internet Channel on the Wii before it became FREE, we got to download a NES title worth 500 points. We got the original Final Fantasy, as random as that is. XD If any of you bought the Internet Channel, make sure you load up the WiiShop channel before December 31st of this year and get your free game!

Also, I'm thinking of doodling something to post on DeviantArt for Halloween, though I dunno what...And we finally got pumpkins to carve! It only took us...All month. >__>* Dunno what I'mma do on mine...And Tristan doesn't even know we have them yet, since he's at work. X3 I have an idea though, and I'll post piccies when we get it done. This is going to be the first year I try to do this without dad, and it's going to be hard on a thousand different levels...

RANDOM POP QUIZ, PEOPLES: Can anyone tell me the name of the movie that Happy Time Towing was featured in? XD

Seriously. Holy crap. Just on the off chance anybody that happens by here has the game and hasn't finished it or is looking into it, I'mma put this in an LJ cut...

( So THIS is the all-powerful Lord Lucien... )

Anyhow, yeah...So as you can see...Pretty frickin' lame as far as final bosses go, in my opinion. xD I dunno, maybe I just wanted the satisfaction of hacking him to pieces.

And just out of randomness, we downloaded "The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask" from the WiiShop channel. IT CONFUZZLES ME GREATLY.

Yep. Definitely. I mean it this time. XD

No really, I actually brought the netbook into the bedroom so I can have some music to listen to while I work. See, I'm actually preparing! Now, if only my poor little fingers could get used to the small keyboard of this thing, I'd be all set...And have far fewer typos. DX

So yeah, other than that, not much going on besides me trying to use my LJ more often. If I'm starting to clog your friends pages...TOO BAD. 83

I'mm try out this microphone on this beast sometime, hopefully soon...I'mma try singing Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning"...AND POSTING IT HERE FOR ALL THE FEAR MUAHAHAHAHAHA. *cough*

You'll love it and you know it. D<

 INDEED.

Yeah, I'm not even really drunk at all. xD I just notice all of a sudden that when I've had even the littlest bit to drink, I always seem to talk a little louder and a little more completely unintentionally.

Right now I've got Sam Adam's Black Lagar, which is TEH SEX. I'm glad I was able to find it finally, even though it was only in that one store all the way at the other end of town. >__> Kind of a pisser too that it was like $9.00 for a six-pack. Tristan has hard peach iced tea in the fridge too, but it's just too sweet for me. >__< Mom has non-alcoholic Busch's in there too, but that's just lame. XDD

So yeah, just been playing SimCity 4 for a while today, and actually not SUCKING WIND at it. I finally managed to breech the 200 residents cap I seemed to hit on EVERY CITY on one of the newer ones I just made. That pleases me to no end...And I've been browing the downloads at Simtropolis too, since there are some awesome ones on there.

If I make a spiffy city, maybe I'll post a pic. 8D

So, I'mma kinda bored, and I figured I'd make a post just for shitz. xD As usual.

I was just playing RE5 by myself for the first time in a while, and I decided to start the game as Sheva...Which was immediately a recipe for DISASTER. She's left-handed, so she's positioned on the opposite side of the screen that Chris and good ol' Leon from RE4 are on. For a while it was a fiasco watching me try to aim and turn, but I've gotten pretty good with her thus far.

For those of you who don't know, I've been playing 5 with Tristan a ridiculous amount, and I've managed to rack up every weapon, fully-upgraded, maxed to infinite. Baw. I equipped AI Chris with the strongest magnum in the game, and gave Sheva the wanna-be Samurai Edge and one of the better machine guns, in my opinion.

Anyhow, I reached Chapter 2-1: The Storage Facility. It was all going pretty well up until the mother effing Chainsaw Majini. I wound up getting chased back into the building Chris is locked in at the beginning of this particular part, since for some reason that jackass Chainsaw REFUSED to flinch, and Chris followed me like the ever-doting bonehead he is...And he totally let the damn thing chase me around as I tried in vain to make it flinch or back up or something long enough to get a grenade off. >__> HOLY CRAP, REDFIELD. WHAT THE *CENSOR* IS YOUR PROBLEM. He was doing pretty well with his massively powerful infinite magnum up until this point. I'm certain I had him on attack, because he was unloading on all of the random little Majini toddling around.

I finally relented and ran up the stais in that same building, just to see if he could fend for himself. I thought at one point the Chainsaw was dead, since Chris ran up the stairs behind me and just stood there, but the music was still going, so I KNEW someone was still there. I called him back and sent him out, just to be sure, and he bounded down the stairs...AND RIGHT PAST THE CHAINSAW. Dude, he literally squeezed past him and kept going. x__X The damn Chainsaw followed me up the stairs, and as I turned around to try and take him out, I come to realize...He's not there, and Chris's shots and the revving of the Chainsaw are awful quiet...

GODDAMMIT CHRIS GOT HIS DAMN HEAD SAWWED OFF. >__<

Holy crap, I'm sooo angry right now. I gave him a freaking infinite MAGNUM, and he unloaded into the Executioner AND into Uroboros, which I was handling fine on my own, and all of a sudden the game decides for the VERY FIRST time out of all the times I've ever played single player that the AI partner will actually relent and DIE? Dude...7__7 SERIOUSLY? I think it did it just because I stopped playing AS Chris for one little minute, and tried to give Sheva the benefit of the doubt at not sucking. And that's just cold.

In conclusion...Chris Redfield is a fuck-nut. -__- And totally deserved to get whacked.

Kinda bored, not much to do, but I feel like typing something and don't have enough time to finish anything drastic for Tristan to read before he gets home at 8pm, sooo...

How are you all doing? 8D I ask this a lot lately, don't I? Well, I don't have anything else to say, so I might as well see if anybody else does!

Perhaps I'll go play Life Stories, or just wait until Tristan gets home, and then we can play Fable II...Hmm...

So yeah...Just a quicky post here (for real this time), mostly just to say whatsupeverybody?

There's no real reason for my choice of icon here tonight, obviously. XD I mostly just used it because it's new, and Enzan looks so farking stupid standing there in front of the toilet...

I finally got around to updating my profile here at LJ, after all this time. I made myself a new banner for it on kind of short notice, on a whim as to what I wanted it to look like. It turned out pretty close to what I wanted it to look like, so it works for me if it works for you! XD Someday, maybe I'll get around to actually revamping it in some kind of coherent manner so it doesn't seem so choppy and thrown together. We'll see.

nyarmar has kinda made me wanna get a Dreamwidth account, but what the hell would I do with it? 8[ Hmm.

Oh yeah, and tomorrow is our (himochikouen and my) second wedding anniversary, but that's no big deal or anything...*waits for the lightning bolt to strike her down* x3

We're debating on where to go to eat and when to go there. >_>* If we want to go to the Best Western, we have to either go for lunch or pay $10 for a taxi, which blows chunks...Or, we can walk just down the street to the Erie Restaurant & Bar at any time we want. I'm opting more towards the Erie. Any opinions? 83

Kinda bites though, because today makes the second anniversary of my grandfather's death as well. Bah.

That's about all for now then...I think I'mma go work on something...Dunno what though.

ARR, there be a long, ranting post ahead, cap'n!

So how is everyone, yet again? Hopefully doing well. x3

Just quickly before I really say anything else, my mother lost her mind and decided to go and buy a second Acer at Staples a few days ago...Supposedly she was worried she'd wind up doing something to this one or whatever and messing up my files, but really I think it was just an excuse to spend more money. *cough*

Other than that, the last week or so has been immensely crappy for me, as usual. I had a falling out with someone who I thought was a very good friend to me, all because I didn't want to CALL her at 1am to let her know I couldn't hang out the next day, and she neglected to check her messages instead and wound up spending over $100 on just dinner for the next day. Seriously, it's not MY fault she's "too depressed" to check her freaking email or her messages on FaceBook and Flyff, but can run out to WalMart at the last minute and buy a bunch of food. Bullshit. And after I apologized to her like a dozen times, she informed me she was "tired of getting kicked around and used", and on top of all that started personally verbally attacking my mother and Tristan, and even my GRANDMOTHER. Seriously, what the FUCK is up with THAT??

I had to DEFEND them to her, and then came back asking who it was that took care of her new puppy when she "forgot about him" when she and her husband decided to switch shifts to work together. Seriously, who FORGETS their brand new puppy? Their brand new $650 puppy? She tried to play the sweet, caring friend until she shot out with - get this, ladies and gents - "How many of your little internet friends have been with you through all the crap you went through? I'm the only one, because I'm the only real friend you've got, after all you've ever done is blow me off and bail on me! It's sad that you choose to hide behind pixels all day, every day! Your father dying was a hard hit to me too, and I hoped you'd be like him and do something with your life! And don't say getting married, because it doesn't count!"

OK, so let me get this straight...

I saw her ONCE during our one and only trip back from FL before moving back here...And tried calling her 16 times over the course of three months after we got down there and never got a call back. Then, when my grandfather got sick, and my FATHER told her MOTHER, she decided it'd be a good idea to call me after over 7 years. And THEN, when we got BACK to FL after our wedding, she  never returned my calls again! And let's not forget that she tried to get me to POSTPONE MY WEDDING after the invites were out so that she could come. 'the fuck? OH, and did I forget to mention the whole reason Tristan and I were supposed to go over there that day was TO PLAY FLYFF ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT? Pixels, anyone? And by the way, she was constantly badmouthing Tristan to his face and to me behind his back, so that was real incentive. Let's not even discuss what I said when she went on about my father and doing something with my life, because I was rather nasty and a tad vulgar. And as for the whole "internet friends" thing, that got thrown back in her face besides the screaming a did at her about it when I mentioned how her little internet friend from Ireland is supposedly coming to stay with them for a week.

Dude, I swear I wanted to walk down the street to her apartment and spit in her face. I feel sorry for her pets, since she never takes care of them, and they wind up not getting a lick of food or water until her husband gets home from work at 7pm. BAH. I can't stand even thinking about the bitch anymore...All I know is I've got plenty of friends who I love and care for and would never consider this crap; Lilly, Nick, Jenae, Matthew, Casey, Tori, Rachel, Kathy, Matt & Chris, Sean, and Julia. Yeah, you're all online...But amazingly enough...You're always around when you can be, surprisingly. 8O *gasp*

ANYWAY, ENOUGH OF BI-ATCHS.

I guess mom took pity me with all that crap, and she let me get "The Sims: Life Stories" for this laptop. x3 And a hint to anyone who has this game: don't listen to what Maxis says. A lot of custom content made for the base game "The Sims 2" WILL work with this game. You can find a ton of usermade customs at TheSimsResourse.com and ModTheSims.info, but be careful not to go overboard, because it can cause game crashing. xD I've done that a couple times, so yeah...If you've got any questions, feel free to drop me a comment or a message and I'll try and help...

Anyhow, I've been abusing the cheats in that game something fierce. I use it kind of as a vice to have and do everything I'll never have the chance to have and do in real life. You know, like have kids. >_>* So yeah, Tristan and I have gone insane:

YEAH, TEH SHUSTER FAMILY LOADING SPLASH.

xD Yeah, that would be him and me, and what would be our THREE kids; Noah, Vance and Katelynn. Awesome, in a sick way, no? XDDDDD

Maybe I'll post more piccies at some point from the game, just for kicks. I'mma try and post more often now too, just to annoy you guys. 83 I'm off to actually get something to EAT.

Have a good day, guys!

So, how ish everyone doing? I hope well, yesh indeedy. X3 It's like 12:30 in the morning, and I had a really long-ass day today, so if I seem a little wonky and out of it, that would be why.

Well, as you can probably tell by what time it is, we finally managed to get the interwebz back, which is THE SEX, because I missed all of you people an almost unbelievable amount! 8D Find me on AIM, MSN, Google Talk, or FaceBook chat and say hello, won't you?? I totally would love to chat with all of you again after sooo long!

Also, for the record, I'm working from a new Acer Netbook, which is so adorably cute and portable it's kinda scary. XD Both of our desktops are basically toasted, so this was really the only way to go, because it's like the only freaking thing on the market now that comes equipped with XP and not frigging VISTA. >__> *dies a little inside* But I was kind of ready for this when we got it, because a friend of mine has the exact same one, only in a different color, and I've used it a few times and really kinda like how small and easy it is. And we got an all-inclusive, and I quote "even if you drop kick it off a cliff, we'll replace it" service plan on it, so yeeeaaah...>____>*

Other than that, I've been on my DA account a LOT over the last few days, posting some work I did in GIMP. I'm considering seeing if I can get the scanner working with this computer, so maybe I can doodle some stuff and CG it in GIMP?? We'll see, since I'm not too sure about the condition of the scanner, since it got knocked off the desk a couple of times a while back by my spastic-ass cats. 7__7

Um yeah...And I'm totally downloading Flyff right now. Why? Hell if I know. XD I have a few friend who play and love it, and my mother seems to want to see me doing something other than frigging Farmville on FaceBook, so here we are, watching this inordinately large download client thingee chugging along at 106kb per second...It's at like 72%, so I can't complain. x3 I know of at least one friend who will be inexplicably pleased that I'm doing this, since she's coming over on Wednesday to play some XBox 360 with me, and she wanted me to download it while she was here so we could exchange info...And now I get to get a little accustomed to it beforehand. Sweet, no? >3

That's about all for right now, other than to mention I've been playing a sick amount of Rockman.EXE Battle Network 4 Red Sun for the GBA and Prince Of Persia, Gears Of War/Gears Of War 2 for the 360. If I had a XBox Live account, I would so be bashing some biatches in online play. D< 'OORAH!

Yeah, just a real quick post to let you all know that I'm still kicking!

I've got a ton of crap to do online today, since I don't get to use the internet very often. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to getting in touch with you guys lately, but I just don't have the time with all of this insanity going on right now. Forgive me? ;o;

If you guys want to, you can email me you know. >_> I'll get back to you eventually, I promise!!!!111one1!! And those of you who have my phone number can call me anytime you want. As long as it's the new landline number. We're getting rid of our cells over the next couple of days, because they're just too damn expensive. If any of you have my cell number and didn't get an email from me with the new one, drop me a line and I'll get you the new one. X3

Also, leshit, if you want my number, let me know and I'll get it to you. I have no idea what we'll talk about, buuut...Whatever. XDD

Hopefully, I'll get in contact with you guys soon again, yeah? Here's to hoping!!!

Much luff, peepz! XDDDDDD

Since a few of you only keep up with me here on LJ, I think maybe it's about time I actually let you all in on what's been going on over the last while, huh? >_>*

Beware, this be very long under the cuts.

( The beginning of the end... )

( Everything started to slow... )

( And then the world stopped turning... )

And sooo...If none of you want to read all the sadness, or if you did and need a pick-me-up...

Tristan got his tax return a while ago, and my father wanted us to get an XBox360...'Cause he got the return the day Resident Evil 5 came out. So we picked up the special edition red 360+RE5 bundle. It's pretty sweet. We snagged Soul Calibur 4 as well, which dad totally loved. He played it with John the other night when he and Christine treated us to pizza. That made him feel awesome, I think.

We've gotten a few games for it, actually...Army of Two, Two Worlds, Dead Rising, one Rainbow Six game other another, and a couple of others, including Assassin's Creed, which is hawt. I've been playing it non-stop. Dad would have freaking loved it. All of the games are used, from Hollywood Video, except for Dead Rising, RE5, and SC4. I just hope they keep working, or it's totally gonna suck. >_>

We traded in a few games as well; Super Mario Galaxy was the biggy. It was a great game, just...Not worth it in the end, because we'd finished it like five times. They gave us $30-some for the lot, and we used that up against a copy of Pokemon Platinum. It's mine, baw. But then mom remembered Tristan's birthday was coming, so she told us to use the rest of the credit and some of my birthday money from Nannie for a second copy, and to keep that one for myself and give the other one to Tristan...SO YEAH. More Pokemon training, HAHAHAHA. Tristan wants to get to a good point in Platinum and then turn his Pearl version over to me and mom. Sounds good to me, so then mom can kick our asses, like she always does...

I think mom needs that right now, how about yous guys?

SO YEAH.

We managed to actually completely finish beating RE5's Mercenaries in split-screen co-op the other night...And I have officially decided that BSAA Jill is just...So full of WIN, it's almost scary. 8D I have yet to actually get the chance to get her to do her cartwheel though, since I keep missing the opportunity...But GODDAMN I WANNA SEE IT. XD Tristan either plays as one of the two versions of Wesker, or as the version of Chris with the Rocket Launchers...Isn't that Chris's Safari outfit?? I forget...

Anyway, yeah...Other than that, we also manage to unlock Chris's STARS uniform for the main game, and we have only 3 more BSAA Emblems to snag before we get Sheva's Tribal outfit too. X3 Tristan already bought the Bowgun (which, as far as I'm concerned, is a bow & arrow >_>), which is kind of amusing, because it's infinite, and his aim is horrible. XDDDD So he just stands in a corner, flapping around and shooting randomly.

On top of all that, I've been playing "Harvest Moon: Island Of Happiness" a little too often as of right now. I can't get Mark to marry me, dammit. He won't advance past a Blue Heart... D< (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, take a look at Fogu's HM7 Page.) The process of growing crops in that game, for the record, is freaking hard. *dies* How am I ever gonna sell 100 of EACH CROP? Crap, I can barely sell 100 of each season's SET of crops COMBINED. *weepweepweep*

Anyway, other than that...It's about 4 hours before Tristan gets back from work. I miss him already, which is pitiful, because he JUST left at 8am...And it's only 12:40pm. D8 Ahh well...I'll just chew my gum and NOT maul my grandmother like I want to. XDDD

Maybe I'll try learning *coughcough* working in GIMP on the other computer tonight, and try my hand at making a new banner for my LJ profile page. X3

Guess who lost 10 pounds? XD

Guess who beat RE5?

Guess who can't seem to get anywhere in RE5's Mercenaries?

BAWHAHA.
