A Few Things
Sooo, I'm not dead, just been doing a lot of non-LJ stuff. Still, I thought I'd post down some of the most notable things that have been happening since August here.
- I've been dating the most amazing guy since September. His name is Andrew. He's a history/education major with a religious studies minor. He's also a Steampunk, huge gamer, lover of fantasy and sci-fi, and runs his own D&D campaign every Tuesday. In between the regular couple-y stuff, we give each other book and game recommendations, and I play a character who loves to wreck stuff in his aforementioned game. He's really kinda perfect. <3
- I really slacked off on my schoolwork last semester. Not because I was depressed, or hated UNCC--on the contrary, I love it here and have so many new friends. I just didn't want to do any work, and had a couple shitty professors. Luckily, that has been turned around this semester, and I'm doing great in my classes.
- I'm learning Japanese!! I'm only in the elementary-level classes, but I'm really excited to finally be learning this language. Plus, I have some good friends in my Japanese class, and an awesome professor.
- DAII!! Dragon Age II is coming out in a couple weeks, and I couldn't be more excited. From the voiced protagonist, to the improved sleeker and more visceral combat, to the new party members and love interests, this game has grabbed me from the start. I think the coolest new feature, however, has to be the way the game tracks the type of responses you make (kind versus mean, sarcastic verses serious, etc) to give Hawke (the player character) a 'dominant personality' which he/she will react like at some times without player input. For someone as into the character-building aspect of RPGs as I am, this is amazing news.
That's really all I think of now that's new. See you guys the next time I remember this journal. :P
