Games, games....and more games
God, I'm so going broke this Christmas XD I swear, everywhere I look either America's coming out with new games, Japan's coming out with new games, EUROPE's even coming out with new games, or games I loved are getting a makeover and ported over to one of my lovely handhelds, either the PSP or DS <3
To begin with, there's Persona 4, which I have been absolutely obsessed with for the last 2 months. Besides stalking the mayonakatv for the last month or so, I've been adding site after site to my long list of favorites XD Not to mention I burned the ISO and have been playing nonstop, but it's kinda laggy and just not the same as playing the real thing. So, in support of my utter obsession with the Persona games in general (yep, all the way from number 1) I'm going to buy the Japanese version...and the English version ^^; That's about $90 right there....ouch.
Next, there's Avalon Code, for which I'm getting the Japanese version cause English version for games on the DS tend to be butchered...especially voiced version *cough*Luminous Arc*cough**. So that's coming out December as well...>_>
Next we've got the Exorcism of Maria, a really cool looking otome games from the makes of Princess Nightmare. Yep, also scripted for December, along with Garnet Cradle, an otome game I'm REALLY looking forwards too.
So far that's....nearly $200....T_T Damn~ That's more than I usually spend a year, all in one blow too XD My wallet's going to be feeling this for the next couple months. Oh and let's not forget Christmas presents for everyone else (crap XD), so yeah...
What else....I know I wanted to talk about something else....

OH RIGHT! Anyone here Mexican? Since it's almost Halloween over here, my Spanish teacher was teaching us some legends related to it. There's one, La Leyenda Del Espantapájaros, which means The Legend of the Scarecrows. It's really sad, but the reason why I remember it was because she showed us a Youtube video animation of the story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcxYYCJYtrw
You should be able to pick out the story even if you don't know the actual legend. Basically, there's a scarecrow who had no friends and was always alone. He liked to watch the birds, but they never responded when he greeted them, even when he offered them food. Then one day, one of the birds fell from the sky, a crow. It was hurt, so the scarecrow decided to take care of it. When it was better, it explained to the scarecrow that the birds wouldn't talk to it because scarecrows were made to torment birds who came down to eat. The scarecrow explained that he wasn't like that, and then the crow flew away. That night, the scarecrow decided to change his life somehow, and went to talk to the farmer. He wanted to tell the farmer that he no longer wanted a job scaring birds. However, the farmer was terrified of the scarecrow when it came into his room, and gathered his friends, telling them the it was the devil. The people gathered together, chased the scarecrow into a windmill, and burned him. The crow that had been saved told his friends about how this scarecrow was not evil, but by the time they went to go help him, it was too late. The scarecrow was burned to death, and afterwards the crows took his ashes and scattered them into the sky, so that he would never be alone again; he would always be flying in the sky alongside them. From then on, crows were alays black, in memory of the death of the scarecrow.
...yeah, it's pretty depressing. The video has BEAUTIFUL music though. I ended up putting it repeat and listening to it nearly 50 times XDD But yeah, that's the second part of this journal I knew I was forgetting. HAPPY HALLOWEEN~! Or at least to everyone who celebrates it. I was going to draw something, but I got lazy XD So instead, I'll post something for Christmas. And on a totally unrelated note, I LOVE Soul Eater, it's such an addicting manga :P Oh oh! AND! ONE PIECE! I swear it gets better each chapter....unlike some other long lasting mangas that seem to be going circles or something -_-; *cough*Naruto and Bleach*cough*...seriously though. I manage to predict the last 3 plot twists in Naruto without ever reading up anywhere past the formation of Hebi....and Bleach is still going nowhere anytime fast ._.;
