Smells like Theme Spirit
A brief cry to the people of this world: do you own Skype? Anyone who would like to speak to me when they're spoken to should send me their address, or leave it in a comment here. I'll add you, and when we've the time, I'll say hello!
Also, can anybody enlighten me as to how people achieve personalised themes? Like, when instead of the generic "leave a comment," you've got "kill a Nazi" and the like.
I've picked up some neat manga lately: the elusive Yu-Gi-Oh! R and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi doesn't translate as well to manga; the move from light novel to anime is perfectly suited for the SOS Brigade. In the manga, the mania is somewhat dimmed. Furthermore, the style is a little different-Kyon looks younger, for example. Or is it just my imagination?
I've discovered a declaration that makes clear a lot of my ethics lately, I think. I'm very ambivalent towards people-I'm relatively popular but keep to myself a lot of the time. I believe the reason is this: if you WANT my company, I'm slow to give it; I'm in no particular hurry. But if you NEED my company, for whatever reason, I'm there on the double. Coming to this conclusion has helped a lot: more and more do I value being alone. I don't want to be myself all the time, of course, but truth be told I find the more quiet places with no one around to eat, to study etc.
I've also decided on some Christmas presents! I'm looking to get Donkey Kong Country Returns, firstly. This game has actually received rave reviews, apparently. We're talking 90-95%, which is most impressive, and it's been hailed "one of the best platformers of the last ten years." Interestingly, I've had dreams (2) lately in which I've owned it, or felt like I owned it. To the extent that when I wake up, I'm confused as to why I don't have it! Therefore, I'm doing DK justice and getting my hands on it. Also, I'm finally gonna get the Egyptian God cards. Truth is, I won't be satisfied until I get these, for collector's purposes even. Though I intend to play around with them a bit, they're so overpowered that it should be interesting to see if I can beat a God deck etc. And finally, Inception. Somehow, I'll get all these, and whatever about anything else.
Now, to sleep! Oh, one more thing-I received no entries for my photo competition a while back, despite people expressing interest, therefore, all bets are off and there'll be no stories for anybody. Thank Christ, actually, I've got no time.
