I found a cd in my room with a free game making program. Score. I should clean up more often. But installation seems to be taking a while. :P

Speaking of games, I really wish I could get Team Fortress 2. I saw it in EB Games once but otherwise it's only available in the Orange Box, which is a bit too expensive for my liking. I also can't wait until the World of Darkness MMORPG comes out~! I'm wary, of course, it being a mmorpg, but WoD is just an awesome roleplaying game and I hope it does turn out well.

I wonder what game soundtracks would be the best? From Final Fantasy, Sephiroth's theme sounded awesome (One Winged Angel) though I don't know how the rest of the music is. Brutal Legend would be best if you're into rock (though even if you don't like that genre of music, I urge you to check the game out--it's from Tim Schafer, who's pretty brilliant, and while I haven't played the game myself it looks nothing less than AWESOME) but beyond that, I don't know. I guess, for the most part, the music is just mood-enhancing, but enough thought goes into some games that the soundtracks would be worth looking into. But idk, I usually don't listen to game soundtracks, I just mentioned this because I was on the subject of games and I like to explore different thought trains...

And Evil Dead the Musical is awesome, by the way. I showed it to one of the music teachers at school and now he wants to adapt "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" for the choir. Bwahaha. It's not the best song there but, my school being a Catholic one, it's probably the only one we could do without getting in trouble. It'll be interesting to see how the choir does this.

Okay, so:

--Back to school. Music camp remains in my heart, always, as I toil through all my folio work and try to find time for my own projects. :P

--Teeth are fine. You have no idea how relieved I was. I was crying when they took them out. But whatever, it's not so bad as my friend's balloon phobia. :P

--Public schools are gay, because they take so long to get their equipment set up, and their computers stuff up all the time.

--MUTILATION OF WOMEN IS WRONG. CHILDREN RIGHTS FAIL, AND WE SHOULD CHANGE THAT. Haven't thought up anything extensive at this point in time, but I will. I will write extensively  on the subject when I make some progress. Or when I'm bored and angry.

--Manifest is coming up! It is imperative that I get my cosplay ready. I should take pictures this year, if it turns out well.

--I GOT A LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 XD *loves*

I'll rant later, maybe. I just thought my journal looked a bit dead.
 

I had valuable things to say. But I forgot them.

In the absence of other topics; Freakangels is a good comic. I wish I had purple eyes and super mind powers.

School's been over for the year for a few weeks already. Christmas shopping abounds and most of my friends are starting to turn into hermits. We had to bodily drag one away from two internet cafes while we were wandering in the city on sunday, but gave up on the third one. It's so much less expensive to go to the city when you DON'T buy manga from pop culture specialists.

Which reminds me, I tripped on the stairs going down into the shop, and he tried to catch me... <3 I stopped myself. But it was a sweet moment, even if nothing happened, dammit.

Anyway. Yay, the city. Takes an hour and a half to get in from my mum's place, but who cares? There are buildings where you can text messages to flashy signs, and protests every saturday, and a video games room in the Victorian Library! Who wouldn't love a place like that? And yet, I'm kind of expected to like the country more. I mean, the privacy is great. There's a hill near my place where you could take off all your clothes and dance in the moonlight and no one would know. Well, unless you're REALLY unlucky. But nothing happens there, and everyone lives so far apart that if you don't have a car, you don't do ANYTHING. Public transport only takes you so far.

Not to mention the abundance of weirdoes in cloaks and the smell of marijuana on the main street.(Didn't notice it myself, at least not until my sister smuggled home some and made me smell it. I didn't take any, I have no interest in it.) I've probably given away enough that anyone who lives in the same area would know exactly where I was talking about.

My friends and I are having another picnic, at least, some time soon. Food and hanging around in parks. I kinda really wish that he would ask me out. I've given him enough opportunity, telling him when I'm free and all that... hinting, but only very vaguely. I'm probably kind of not helping, because every time I try to compliment him I'm so afraid of showing that I like him that the compliments come out as detached observations. And crap, I'm talking about him again.

I'm going to practice piano before the skills fade from my mind, or something. Not that I'm particularly good at it, I'm so clumsy that I mostly just stumble over all the keys, and I don't have a great ear for the pedal. I've tripped over three times in the past two days, once UP the stairs. Damn teenage klutziness. That's the reason for it all; adolescence.
 

I want a wacom tablet, really badly.

See my icon? I made that by hand. With a mouse. It's really not fun. I get hand-cramps. I use the mouse with my right hand, and draw with my left, and so it really, really doesn't work. And now I'm annoyed because when I look back at the picture, that particular shade of purple just doesn't fit in with it. Okay, okay. I'll stop complaining now... Once I get a proper job, that's the first thing I'm buying.

I'm feeling particularly strange today. Like, at first I'm happy, then I feel depressed... And no, it's not that time of month, nowhere near.
