It's STILL cold over here, and its getting colder every minute. D: Okee so I got finals next week, which means I'm going to be studying for the most part, which means I'll probably not be online, perhaps for an hour or a few minutes or so before my mind wanders away. I just want to make that clear. xD

So, I find myself going back and watching the old animes that used to show when it was worth waking up at 6AM during Saturday mornings, or what used to show before it all ended and I missed them. Why? I guess I wasn't really up to looking for a new anime series and such. Who really knows? =.=

I won't list them, cause I got a lot to say about them. But in general, I watch them in the popular version: Japanese with English Subtitles. I'm sure a lot of people my age watch them this way anyway. Seriously, dubbers, thanks for the english dubbing and all, perhaps I never cared about how it sounded when I was 10, but I guess now I'm a stingy person to the fact that I ask myself: "I used to watch this DUBBED?! D8" Now, I won't point fingers at any animes or dubbing companes(whatever you call them, but I'm sure a lot of people would know who I MAY be referring to) It's just this sort of situation has been sitting in my mind that I had to let it out somehow. xD

And I don't/will never have a myspace or facebook. xP

IN GAMING NEWS:

I gots a new Wii game finally! It's Super Mario Galaxy, and it's fun...and dizzy. Reminds me of Super Mario 64, and I'm afraid that I may breeze through it...but I love Nintendo games, I mean I wanted a Gamecube instead of a PS2, but the PS2 is my sister's and asking for another game system at the same time is well, stupid. *pats her Wii* I like the PS2, seriously, don't get me wrong, but the only games I found worth playing on that system was Kingdom Hearts I/II, Okami, the Spyro series, Ratchet, and Final Fantasy. The rest of the games I've seen weren't really appealing after that. : o Although I THINK you can play GC games on the Wii as long as you got a GC controller...and there's several games that I want to play...

...any GC/Wii experts know?

So the new WoW expansion is out. xP Wrath of the Lich King, or WoTLK. I don't have it...yet. The rest of the guild does, and I feel very, very behind. It's silly to worry about it, and it's not because of raiding(Although I would WANT to) but now that I think about, I'm probably the worst and unreliable raider in that guild, due to my schedule, but it's my playing restrictions that make the most impact. I think I already ranted about this, so I won't go in-depth.

But back to WoW, I'm probably the only 70(Main not alt) logging into the guild with all of these level 73's and up and that's kinda embarrassing. xD I haven't told everyone in the guild, I just hope to leave it to the ones that DO know to tell them if they ever wonder where the heck I am.(I also rarely log on) But as my friends said, last is better than nothing. :>

It's so cold over here...my hands are numb and typing doesn't seem to be helping them warm up... D8

Okay so it's not really winter, but I never liked cold weather anyway. And for some reason I can't seem to find my long sleeved shirts, so I'm in a pinch. >.<

Well it's really cold the evenings and mornings, the afternoons for some reason are usually sunny and pleasant, but then again I have to go to class in the morning so I don't really get to feel the afternoon weather. e.e; Crazy weather we got over here...they said that Halloween will be down in the 60s, which is a bearable cold...let's hope it is! D:

Okay I don't think I ever mentioned about it before, but I will now, we got wooden floors now. xD See my parents have lived in this house since they came to the U.S and such, so things are not really bad...but some improvements could be made here and there. So they wanted wooden floors, and we used to have carpet, which was a hassle because you had to vacuum every two weeks or whenever the dust gets evil. Now vacuuming doesn't sound all that bad, but my mom is getting old and she has a lot of housework to do, plus I got classes, studying, and a whole lot of other things, and sishtur is in Austin so she can't help us there....AKA, we both had more important things to do.


So last Saturday we got some peoples to put in the wooden floors. Three days and they were done! : D

I must say I really like the improvement. :3 Aside from the fact that furniture from all rooms had to be moved, meaning that my room hardly has anything in it, and it was the last room to be finished so my stuff is outside in the living room.

I'm using my Dad's computer so I'm typing this journal. :B

But I think I'll be getting my room back sometime later...maybe.

=====

IN GAMING NEWS:

Nothing new, without my computer there is no gaming. xD And I highly doubt my dad's computer has enough room to have WoW installed. But I can't play on Weekdays anyway soooo yeah.

...but I do hope I can get back into raiding. Missed out Sunday. D: I'm sure everything will be calm by that time though.

IN ART NEWS:

Like I said, my computer is unplugged. :B But I do have a pic to post when Halloween hits. It's not Halloween-ish or festive, but you'll see...

Keep warm everyone!

Midterms, but anyway, it's raining over here. x.o

It was pretty cloudy, never said anything about chance of a lot of rain. But when I got out of my last clas it was drizzling outside, and my umbrella was in the car. >.< So I had to walk to the parking lot in the drizzle that was...drizzling faster. From campus to the student parking lot is liek, you have to cross a road, across the faculty parking lot, and over a bridge. My car was parked somewhere in the back so I had to travel quite a bit. I made it, drove off, and during then it was raining pretty hard, and this is the second time I ever drove in the rain, but it wasn't as bad as today. I mean you can try and drive on the right side of the road and you can create tsunamis. D8 Which isn't good when you're driving.

But I made it home in one piece. Clothes wet, but I'm alright. :>

IN GAMING NEWS:

I started playing Mabinogi, it's confusing, but a fun free online game to play. :>

Well the new WoW patch came out yesterday. Of course the rule in this household is I'm not allowed to play games of any kind and of any console on weekdays except Summer, Friday, Weekends, and Holidays. So basically, I felt kind of left out when everyone else got to check out the new features. Sure the server had bugs and kept crashing, but it's just not about that, but to be able to hang around with them in-game.

I mean it wouldn't kill to login play for like, 3-5 hours? .-. At least be able to play on our raid days...which are 2 weekdays and about 5 hours. Family knows that I mentally set up my schedule in a routine each day, squeezing some game hours wouldn't hurt.

Education is important, but being a college freshman and still being controlled by your own sometimes unreasonable mom is kinda irk-some, and it's not just about the games believe me. Listen to your parents, yes, but I'm not a bad kid! D:

Oh well, maybe next year.

IRL NEWS:

So my second week of college huh? All I knew is that it costed a lot and some more to buy all of those textbooks...(Used or New) BUT so far all I have to do is read since...there's all there is to it actually. I completed my math and English credits during summer so I'm free from those. In addition, my night class is one day each week so that puts less stress on me.

I'm only doing about 13 hours for now, I'll bump it up next semester or so:

~INTRO TO PSYCHOLOGY: My high school Psychology class was actually really interesting, even though we talked a lot, which is something I hardly do...the professor I say is actually decent. I always pray for a non-crappy professor, knowing that there are some in colleges...and schools. Psychology does spark my mind though, perhaps I can use what I learned and diagnose some of my friends... *COUGHSOLIDCRYSTALCOUGH*

~SPANISH 1: Sí, I'm planning to try and speak it. Eventually I'm going to have to know it, since it's like the second important language out there in the world. (Besides my native one)

~U.S HISTORY: LECTURE CLASS. It means write the notes down when the professor talks... D8

~ART APPRECIATION: My once a week night class...which is only available during the evening only. I would've took some other art class but during orientation its hectic and I had to talk to a professor of that class or something, and being a freshman I had no idea where to go or how. However, my AP Art in high school apparently was a flop so I got no credits for that so I need the credit anyway. *pouts*

I guess as much as I like art I believe the kind I've been attending is just too formal for me. My work is too cartoon-ish

...I should probably go into computer graphics instead...me realizing stuff like this now is phailure. :<


I miraculously survived two weeks of driving my hide to the University with little problems...at least no problems involving the car (or anyone else's) getting scratched in some way...

IN GAMING NEWS:

I finished Twilight Princess finally! I really have to say that it was the first Zelda game that I barely/never had to consult to a guide to finish it. The first three dungeons were quite easy to figure out. The next ones...a little harder and worse.

Arbiter's Grounds in the desert was my most hated dungeon mainly because of the undead enemies, the sinking sand, the bugs, the rats, and the poes. Undead are my most hated enemies or Zelda...

And may I add: curse the redeads to evolve into a more uglier form carrying a sword as big as Cloud's that can smash your whole self...although I have to be grateful that they just whack you with a sword rather than...squeeze you to death? x_o

Oh, and the GanonDORK fight (Sorry any Ganon fans, it was just too funny to not say!)...er I wouldn't say it was REALLY easy, it took me a while to figure out how to beat him in the phases. The last phase...you were right it was sad. It took me a while to realize that I had to mash the A button when it appears... (I play the Wii version)

Zant's fight was a lot more fun than his. Fast and easy, but it was fun. e.e

...

...

...now I need a new Wii game.

IN ART NEWS:

Uh...not much really. I have some pictures scanned up, but since I don't have time to color any of them (which I want to) I instead started a project involving photoshopping separate small images and then fit them together like a puzzle. That way I can finish a picture in an hour or so and keep going for there.

It's not done yet. x.x

Yay for survival of second week or college!

IRL NEWS:

Sooo...what have I been doing lately? Uuuh...not a lot of art I can tell you that. xD;

I've been home all summer having to keep watch of my monster cousin minus weekends, but we made it through! He provides the extra video games for our Wii. <.< >.>

And two semesters of summer classes, and I passed both with no problem at all! Yay for me! Although it felt like I was in school all year. e.e;

Also, I'm going to college! But I'm driving myself there(THE HORROR!!), so I'm still going to be at home. Besides it's already hard enough that my parents have to pay for my sistur's apartment over in Austin. u.u They don't need a dorm payment, not that I'm complaining, I got all I need here...with a working computer and internet and stuff! 8B

It's also a bit late to talk about this, but I've watched the following movies over the summer: Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E and...I can't remember the rest...dur.

I thought Kung Fu Panda was awesome, I wasn't sure about it when I first saw the previews, but for me, I laughed. Dreamsworks did a good job with it. I'm cool with anything martial arts related.

Wall-E was SO ADORABLE. I love Pixar and their creations. <3

Oh and my birthday is coming up! The 23rd, another year older. I'mma turn 18... And the same day, I get to get my Driver's Lincense. (A present I always never wanted) Soooo yeah. xD

That's all I can think of right now...
