School, video games, anime... What else do I ever talk about?
My English teacher is making me write my own Greek tragedy...in a group of four. D=
It's the most annoying and ridiculous thing to co-write with other people. We decided to write about Alexander the Great (at my squeeing request. I worship him like normal teenage girls worship Edward Cullen), and everyone has a different interpretation of his character and different levels of sympathy. And we all want the plot to go in different ways, and for his ending to be different (it's mainly the forgiveness vs. ditch him in India factions).
We're all doing different scenes, which really worries me because things will end up being so disjointed. The writing style will suddenly change and the ideas and themes we want to convey will be different.... It'll be such a trainwreck, and Alexander the Great deserves a way better play in his name. D=
Being a perfectionist and probably the one with the most writing experience in the group, I'm sort of dominating everything, and I feel bad about it. But I don't want some really botched up play about Harry and Draco having sex in a broom closet while the rest of the cast get drunk on OOCness.
And we're planning to act it out for extra credit too. It's going to be so much fail it's funny. (We should upload it on Youtube, lol. Who here wants to watch a bunch of Asian girls trying to give impassioned speeches while laughing our asses off? =D)
Moving on, because I don't think anyone really cares about my personal life; I just finished the main quest in Oblivion. It was, um, pretty damn dumb and had a major deus ex machina at the end. And it's so one-dimensional; there's such an obvious good and bad side. There was this really interesting section where this bad guy (Markar Camoran or something?) is trying to convert you to his side, and he talks about how Tamriel was originally a province of Lord Dagon (Mr. Big Bad Evil God), but it was taken from him by traitors who the people now worship as gods. And he says, "Why is it that the daedra lords show their faces, but those you cal gods hide behind statues and offerings? It is because they are not gods at all!" That was a really interesting segment, but the game just brushed it off with "no, he's just lying" and completely ignores the question of why the gods do not show their faces. They could have gone about it in such a better way; namely, affirming that even if the gods are traitors, even if they're not really gods, the people follow them and the hero will defend them because they stand for what everyone believes in. Duh, much?
That aside, Oblivion is a pretty fun game. I have no fucking idea why, but it is. Now that the main quest is over, though, I just have to tie up some loose ends and I'll be done. So the game time will probably clock in around 40 hours. Decent for an RPG, but it feels so short. I guess I've just been spoiled by GTA's 70+ hours of gameplay.
And OMG, anime. This season has such a nice line-up. I'm downloading all these older anime series and I don't know when I'll even get the time to watch them. I can barely even balance downloading the new anime.
BTW, Chaos;Head is awesome. Paranoia is fucking awesome.
(And lol, yes, the icon is completely irrelevant and just there because I think it's pretty even though I've never played FFVII)
