Holy balls I posted
Hello! It's been a while, for the following reasons:
1) I am currently not excited about anything in my usual fannish way - god knows I've tried but nothing's grabbed me - so I have had nothing to say about anything. That's not to say I haven't been enjoying stuff, just that I'm not feeling fangirlish about anything right now.
2) Twitter and Tumblr. Sad but true. I don't have the attention span for long LJ/DW posts these days, it seems.
3) Much of my spare time has been taken up with other things, such as:
a. Making stuff as usual. Current projects: sweater from Icelandic wool; circle skirt; socks. Recently finished projects: baby quilt; at least two secret things I can't post about til I've given them to their recipients.
b. Playing Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
OH MY GOD THIS GAAAAAME. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It took me a while to get used to the Wii controls, but now I can't even remember how I played a sword-based game by pressing buttons. :D Whatever you do with the remote is echoed exactly on the screen, down to the angle you hold it and everything. I really feel like an adventurer. (Also, it is exhausting; a few days ago I had to fight a zombie robot pirate - A ZOMBIE ROBOT PIRATE, GUYS - and afterwards my heart was pounding like I'd run a marathon.)
I love the game for the following specific reasons:
- Everyone is constantly hitting on Link.
- Especially the bad guy, Ghirahim, who doubles up as the campest villain in video game history. Proof. About two minutes in to that video, he licks your ear, then moments later, sort of magics away his cape to reveal that he's wearing a skin-tight white bodysuit underneath it.
- The Sand Sea, Sandship, and the Sandship boss are just so much fun. The graphics of the whole game are beautiful, but the Sand Sea is just STUNNING.
c. Training for a charity walk I am doing next month with my mum and sister. We have to do 26 miles. We did 14 on Saturday and it almost killed us.
So that's me. As always, I would like to post to my journal more, but it's difficult when this has always been a fannish place and I don't have any fannish interests right now (LoZ doesn't count because it doesn't). Perhaps I should post more political stuff or crafty stuff, but I don't know if people are interested in those (are you?).
Anyway. How are you all, my lovelies?
