practicality

For the third lecture in a row, my Bio prof is out. And for the third lecture in the row, nobody has bothered to send out an e-mail or anything. It irritates me, and I live on-campus - a good chunk of my class most likely busses, possibly from Burnaby and Richmohnd, which is an hour ride at best. Today is definately looking like a two cups of tea sort of day, though.

In better news - the neighbor has finally gotten the hint, possibly because I went and asked her to turn the music down every day for four or five in a row. Which means that during the day, it is now at a tolerable level (ie, if I have music on, I can't har it), and it's gone at night. And the new tv is working out stupendously, even if it's still just sitting on my floor. But I can sit at my desk and play video games, which I did for several hours yesterday, and will probably do so today, too, at least before I have to go to work tonight.

Also, self? Gym. Today. No excuses.

The bass, it is making me craaaaazy. Fifty minutes until quiet hours start @.@ Also, people - talk to me? Not necessarily right now, as I may go off and try to get some homework done, but like...in general. I'm on MSN and AIM lots, but I'm convinced most of you secretly hate me or something, and having one sided-conversations suck tremendously, so I've given up trying to IM all but the three or four people I know will actually talk to me.

In good news, I have a tv now (which was really fucking heavy, let me tell you), and more Dante, of the gigantic lit-geeky sort. Although speaking of the other Dante...what made him think cowboy boots/pants that look like cowboy boots (I can't tell, that's the scariest bit) were a good idea? They weren't. They're worse than the manbra.

...The chair I'm sitting in is _vibrating_ with the bass. WHYYYYYY.

There are certain persons I would really like to pin against something and kiss absolutely senseless. Or, y'know, maybe a bit more.

I need either more courage or less hormones, I think. (And I know, the temporarily solution is to write pr0n. Which I may do.)

Local people! Anybody want me around this weekend? I'm all for seeing people, but I know there's work and other plans and what-not XD; I also at this point will probably want to sleep a lot, which I can't do here - goddamn loud floor ><

Drop me a comment/e-mail/IM and lemme know.

Now that I've actually read some of the info (look, I've been busy), and thus _have_ thoughts. The combo system sounds awesomely sexy - kind of like DMC3 and KH's bastard love-child. And there are some who are probably rolling their eyes at that, but I did find KH's combo system fun, just too easy. I don't actually mind the lack of style actions, because other than Dark Slayer, I never really used any of the style commands. I will, however, probably be a bit disappointed if it turns out Nero genuinely doesn't have any secret connection to Dante. Because then they're just sort of reusing character designs, and that's lame. I'm also definately digging the new scenery, particularly that it has more outdoor sections, and seems to have lightened up a touch from the overwhelming WoD-style thing they had going for a while. And...is Dante wearing the manbra again? Because dude, no. Shirtlessness is aaaaall good by me, but the manbra is just silly.

Oh, and Nero's gun has totally got me thinking about how that would be mechanically possible (which it would, pretty easily), and kind of hanging my head in frustration at the phrase 'vertically double-barreled' which to me just comes off as awkward - the usual terminology is 'over and under', I think, although that's in shotguns - I've never heard of double-barrelled rifles or pistols, although they may exist.

You know what I really want right now? A bowl of honey. Or frosting. I've got granulated sugar, but that's just not the same. Shoulda bought some at Safeway, although I wasn't craving it then, and spent more than I really should have anyway.

And regarding my last entry - I feel less guilty about going there because Alexander Pope did too, in part. I just didn't pick up on it when I was reading (we're doing The Rape of the Lock right now).

And so there's some content here, have some kid!Sparda-twins fluff. It's a bit pointless, but Mara said it felt like the begining of something more, so...will see, I guess.

( Vergil is probably reading 'The Prince' or something. Nut. )

Just posting to let people know I have not in fact died or anything - got home last night just fine, but the time in-between has been filled with doing things, or feeling dead. So long squeeful posts will have to come later, particularly after I figured out what I can post without people killing me XD;

Unless something goes horribly awry, I should be on the 7pm ferry - not entirely sure how long that takes, although I'm guessing it's probably around 8:30.

Also, uh. What's the possibility of getting down to Victoria at some point? Possibly not this weekend, because it's probably too short-notice for Jo, but she has things I wish to obtain >.>

Also, lemme know you got this so I'm not all freaking out and paranoid - will call if there's no comments/e-mails/IMs by tomorrow afternoon-ish.

Thanks :D

So, have had my first Bio and English classes - I have Chem at noon, and then Physics tomorrow morning, and all my labs start next week. I was a little worried about Bio - it's ecology and evolution, which isn't so much my thing, and it's first thing three days a week, but these were unfounded, as the prof is awesome and British and laughs a lot, and said we don't have to buy the text book, and this his section consistantly has higher averages than the other sections. The English prof is not quite as overwhelmingly awesome, but he's up there - he's from New Zealand, but spent the last several years teaching in the US, and is brand-new (which is why he didn't have an e-mail listed - they wouldn't give him one until today). And he's definately one of of the engaging sorts of humanities profs, and the reading load isn't too heavy. Also, everything totally comes back to Virgil (and I totally typed Vergil there augh).

Anyway, free wireless rocks, my laptop screen is impossible to read in bright sunlight, and I may run and buy a sandwich now. w00t!

Still not liking my floor much, but the mandatory house meeting ended up being less horribly sucky than I was expecting. Mostly because they did skits for the house rules, featuring my floor advisor (one of the cool people, although I will have to remember to not make disparaging comments about Quebec - she's from Montreal and speaks French as her first language) as a scary bum. And I have to admit that I'm afraid of Vancouver's homeless people - I feel bad about it, because I know a lot of times extenuating circumstances make people homeless, but the panhandlers are really aggressive. Moreso even than NYC, although we were in the 'good' parts of NYC.

Tomorrow is freshman orientation which means hopefully meeting some awesome science nerds - my group is all people in my Bio class. So right now I'm kind of bouncing around my room listening to VNV Nation and wondering if I can fix the sticky door on my closet myself. So! I decided to upload a few of my favorite VNV Nation tracks, because I meant to do so a couple weeks ago.

Kingdom - the one I mentioned as being really fitting for the demifiend - explanation is sort of spoilers, so google the lyrics, and you either get what I mean, or, uh, don't. One of my brother's two favorites, and also one of mine.

Epicentre - Another one of my favorites, which I strangely feel has some relevence to me. Also has awesome beats.

Standing - Ben's other favorite. Not quite one of my absolute tops, but it's up there.

Fearless - one of my favs - the words of this song are really kind of a personal reminder, of a great many things.
