practicality: (Yuna :: Dreamer)
Yes, still here, just got buried under homework for a bit - guess karma decided to get back at me for spending all vacation slacking and playing Devil May Cry. But I'm caught up, at last, and my MIT application is in the mail and I don't have to worry about it any more.

Halloween dance was surprisingly fun. I wore the Sun Fairy outfit, and my brother and I threw together a necromancer thing for him to wear. Some of the music kind of sucked (agh, hip-hop), but I got up and danced anyway and generally had a good time.

Trick-or-treating was suprisingly fun - I did end up going as Virgil (or Vergil, take your pick), and I went with Winter, who was a doll, her friend Jason, who was a hick, and also my cousin/boyfriend, apparently (I guess both Vergils are two-timing whores XD;? Sorry Dante), and Jon, who was a mage, yet again. I got tons of candy, and also made the discovery that you shouldn't try and argue with D&D/Forgotten Realms fanboys about anything having to do with either, because they always feel that their side is the right side, or even that it's the only side. Which means I probably won't be part of your game if you start one up, Winter, because I'll spend the whole time wanting to kill your brother and boyfriend.

Other than that, I've been playing way too much Devil May Cry 3. Seriously, the game is addictive, although more challenging than the first one. Unfortunately, the camera angles still haven't been fixed, but the save system is better, and the bosses require strategy more complicated than 'hit them over and over as hard as you can'. We also bought the first Prince of Persia game, and I proved that I'm way better at puzzles than Ben by getting over the section he was stuck on in two tries. It's waiting for when I get truely stuck in DMC3.

I'm also contemplating setting some sort of creative challenge for myself this month...not actually NaNoWriMo, because I'm fully aware of my writing limits and couldn't manage nearly two thousand words a day on a bunch of projects, much less one. But I've been feeling inspired recently, and I kind of want to do something with that (Well, other than writing Eva/Sparda fic in my head during calc - yes, I've got a het OTP now)...I'm just not sure what a realistic goal for me is, though.

NaNoWriMo is for the ones who want to be sporting mental illness by the time December hits. The crazies I have friended who are participating are already laughing and hugging their trainers.

All the friends I have doing it (and there's a lot of them) were crazy a long, long time ago XD; I predict only two of them will actually hit the limit.

(Tangent, but I have Malfoy-hair now XD;)

It's always either a prerequisite or an after effect of NaNo, methinks. Struggling to grasp onto the last bits of sanity, I've avoided it like the plague. If you do a fic challenge-- post it up for us, chica!

(Woah Pictures! =D Is it pointy and gel-ified, or just a swanky blond?)

Well, I've got at least one bit of DMC fic that's totally going to be written, and my brain is trying to plot more in that arc - unfortunately it decided doing the first and the last first was a good plan, so I still have to figure out a middle.

(Very very blonde, with some of the pointiness my hair usually has. I need to buy some toner to make it actually white, but I'll take photos first.)

I guess I should try NaNoWriMo if I feel ambiotious...and crazy.

On another note, I have one of the two pairs of boots I was looking at under my favs:

Sexy, no?

Well, we already knew you were crazy, so you just have to manage ambitious XD;

And yeah, those were the Asher-boots ^^ This (http://www.snaz75.com/gravel-20.html) pair was the other one I really liked.

Only one of my friends is doing NaNoWriMo.It's insane, but it does get people to sit down and commit to creating. Go ahead and set the challenge for yourself. Worst case scenario, you don't make it, and no harm is done.

Something tells me even starting to play Devil May Cry would lead to a downward spiral of lost time.

Well, setting goals for myself that I know I can't reach just makes me frustrated and give up, so NaNo is a bit out XD; I was thinking more along the lines of doing x number of creative pieces of 500 words or more by the end of the month or something.

It would, but you would enjoy every minute of it.

Do not tempt me. I still need to finish Final Fantasy VII. Since high school started I've become an awfully lazy gamer.

Well, DMC is a lot shorter than FF7, particularly the first one - it took me over a year to finish FF7, and my final game time was around 50 hours. DMC1 took me a week and a half and my gametime was more like 8 hours.
