(no subject)
I've been thinking about writing a Legend of Zelda fic. Yes, I realize my geek is showing. I've been reading the Legend of Zelda manga (which can be found here) and I've been getting ideas. Possibly bad ones. Even so.
I also recommend the Zelda manga. It is, strangely, some of the best manga I've read (in the sense that they were very entertaining). They are possibly more fun than the actual games (blasphemy!). Even if you've never played the games, you can (mostly) understand what's going on. They also add a lot to the stories and they don't leave out anything important. Mostly just the running around. Sometimes they combine elements, but it's still really good. I think it's because Link actually has a voice and talks. And, although very much a hero, he can be a bit bratty, too, which is cute.
Plus, in the Ocarina of Time manga, Sheik is about 12876726 times cooler and amazing. Which I didn't think was possible. For that matter, so was Nabooru, and they're my favorite characters. I'm sure others would think their favorite characters were awesome, too. Malon - or Maron, in the manga - was hilarious. I adore her, whereas in the game, she's very cute but very one dimensional, you know?
But anyway, I digress.
So, as some of you may or may not know, it is EXTREMELY COLD in my sister's house. I'm not sure if it's because Dean's an energy conserving freak or because they simply don't feel the cold like I do - but I'm currently wearing two pairs of pajama pants, two pairs of socks, three shirts PLUS a vest. Let me first say, it is not easy to move. And though the majority of me is warm, my nose is about to fall off, and so are my toes.
There is just something not right about the thermostat being at 16 fucking degrees Celcius in -30 degree weather. IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT, I TELL YOU.
Also, there should never, EVER be hardwood on stairs. EVER. Unless you put a carpet down them. And if there is hardwood floors, you should be VERY careful walking up or down them and you should NEVER walk around in your socks. That said, I fell down my sisters stairs. Kind of um... three times. I'm extremely clumsy, I realize, but I can barely move now. The second two times weren't as serious as the first, and I managed to catch myself all three times (although, I'm beginning to think it might have been better to have just fallen flat on my face...) But my leg is jarred and I walk with a limp, and my left arm fell out of it's socket (ouch) and I pulled the muscle in my right arm. Yeah, see, I think falling on my ass (and/or my fat face) would have been so much less painful.
Unless it prevented me from sitting.
In any case, I am very sore, very cold, but, strangely, very content. I haven't gotten homesick once, which I'm not sure is a good sign (especially since I haven't missed my kitty... although, now that I mention it...) and I've had a lot of fun. 'Course, tomorrow will be less fun because there will be massive amounts of cleaning and baking before my sister's party.
Also, the cop guy my sister and Dean were trying to set me up with apparently bought flowers for a girl at his work, so I think it's fair to say that currently he's off the market (or at least, in his minds eye.) I'm not sure whether or not I should be glad or disappointed. I'm glad, because then my sister and Dean won't be forcing me to talk to some guy I barely know, but I'm also kind of sad because - hello, have I no luck in finding a guy/girl/someone?
I haven't had a date in five years. I haven't had sex in eighteen (isn't that what Elijah Wood says in All I Want? Bad movie, don't watch it.) I'm doomed to be the crazy cat lady.
*sigh* Maybe it's because I have no life. I mean Legend of Zelda? Sailor Moon? Dolls? I'm the biggest, lamest geek in the world!
