This journal bothers me.

I no longer feel like what I write is therapeutic like I once did.

Originally, I got this journal to try to get to know people from a forum called FFAlpha. Most of those people have either moved on from Livejournal, or I have become far enough removed from their lives. I've used it since then to try to make some new friends via communities like animeaddme.

However, everyone I seem to add always seems to end up the same. I don't know why, but it's not like I've been able to make an actual friend.. Just a bunch of people who don't write much for me to comment on or feel like getting to know them better.

I think it might be time I quit this LJ gig.

If anyone ever wanted a sobering anime series, watch Mushishi.

It's one of those shows I find myself thinking about the last episode I watched rather than looking forward to watching the next one right away.

Played D&D again today. It's just not as fun with our new DM and 4.0. Which is a shame since I'm kind of looking for some kind of game I could get going when I go back to college that would pool together people's creativity and be a nice social event. Maybe I'll look into other tabletop systems or just scrap the whole idea for something else.

School is coming up fast which is why I think I'm thinking more than usual. Last year, I managed to make my college experience work by meeting my first friend on my own volition. While Josh has lived up to be a great resource for me, I'm really banking on this year for more. I want a group of friends, not just one. Ideally, I'd like to meet a girl. Maybe not necessarily a girlfriend, but a girl I can be close with again. It's been a long time since I've been able to talk to a girl in depth.

People who don't know me, might not understand. I haven't really explained it in a while or with very great clarity, but I'm not a social person. Events in my life have led me down paths of social avoidance and I've been given anxiety in social situations. As a social creature though, this is very troubling.

Some days I can see myself living alone forever. I say that because if I do nothing, I know nothing will happen. Yet sometimes I try to do too much or there's instances where I can't do anything, and it frustrates me. When I go for periods without accomplishing anything, I tend to slide back into old habits and lose the progress I was making. But I'm able to live from day to day. No matter how depressed I've gotten, I've always been afraid of killing myself. No matter how lonely I've gotten, there's always been other things I could over-indulge in (in my case it's anime and videogames)

Of course, I don't want to be alone forever. Which is why I keep trying. It's hard. I don't know who I am at times. I wont know what to say or how to act. I'll feel empty. Other times I'll feel like a million thoughts are screaming at me and have a mental breakdown that I have to pull myself out of...

August is here. It's going to be a clusterfuck of me getting things ready to go back to school and finishing off a few miscellaneous games and anime. Nothing surprising there.

I felt like I should make a journal entry, but I can't really say why. Writing my angst here doesn't quite have the same therapeutic effect that it did when I was a teenager. I just prattle on about everyday things that don't relate to any of you in hopes it sparks up some kind of new bond.

At times though, I feel like I'm dealing with an uphill battle.

It's no big deal though.

I have my own life. The internet is not it anymore.

Manga related bitching

2009-08-01T06:41:37Z

I swear everytime I read Bleach, my brain dies another 2%. It's hard to let go of it because I used to LOVE it better than Naruto. Then One Piece came along and completely blew the two out of the water. One Piece is still doing good and Naruto has even managed to get into my good graces once again... But Bleach? Bleh..

I wish they'd start the D.Gray-man manga up again or that they would publish Claymore more often.

If only I were gay or into fat chicks.

From Dr. Polidori's Lord Ruthven to Stephenie Meyer's Edward Cullen, the annals of vampire lore are filled with attractive, charming bloodsuckers. Which one would you most want to be bitten by?

Neither. Vampires always freaked me out. Plus, nothing I've seen of Twilight so far indicates that it is anything more than trash.

I hate being alone. It gets to me every so often. I then start thinking about every relationship I've ever been in and wishing that I could turn back time. Then I realize that turning back time I'd probably do the same thing I did all over again.

It gets hard waiting and looking. I could write a 3-page essay about the details, but who really needs to hear that?

I bought the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on Steam. I'm pissed off that while the game works great on the ultra-high settings, it disables keyboard and mouse support after a while (the game still goes on, but I can't control my character at all) The game works without the bugs on my laptop, but it runs fucking slow (my laptop isn't a gaming laptop afterall)

Oh well.

Anyone got a series to recommend that I should get around to watching? I'd kind of like to see some of the new season anime or recent stuff. But older stuff is good too. Just nothing too long unless it's actually good

So I'll write a story for you, a story for you.

2009-07-24T06:16:22Z

Three aces and a pair of kings in a hand, an unbelievable hand.The man stared at them with a calm face. He couldn't give the slightest hint or he would get nothing. He had to stay stoic and hope the others mistook it for another average hand.

Two people fold, but one is left. The man grins inside his mind. He would make a modest raise here and there. Hesitant at first and then growing slightly more bold to step on his opponents pride. Then when the moment came, he would lay down his cards in triumph while his opponent cried out. He would give the tiniest hint of a smile as he walked away.

His opponent takes the bait. The chase is on! One after another they lay down their bets, but he is careful. He keeps his imminent win a secret on his face and saves it for his later glory. He soon lays down the last of his haul just as the other man lays down his own.

Now comes the moment of truth. The man lays down his hand at the same point his opponent lays down his. For a moment they both stare into each's eyes before their eyes drift to the cards. The man begins to get up for his great triumph. A voice rings out

"FUCK!"

There was no smile.

Last night I had a weird dream I was in debt 26 dollars. Weird.

Okay, so I mentioned I didn't care for Harry Potter last night. I didn't get a chance to mention that I really want to see this now. I actually don't remember ever reading the book or having it read to me when I was a child. Just watching that trailer though.. My eyes started to well up. I think it's mostly from the song, but maybe there's my own hint of nostalgia in there too.

I've been watching Noein lately. Unfortunately, I don't really like it so far. It's gotten all these good reviews, but they haven't done a very good job in setting up the story. They've proceeded to toss "okay what?" moments at me. Not to be confused with the "WTF OMG!?" moments. The "okay what?" moments is when the story is disappointingly confusing and you find yourself wanting to stop watching it (rather than wanting to go on to find out what happens)

Game-wise, it feels like everything I was looking forward to is delayed til 2010. I also don't feel like playing anything I currently have or that is out there. Considering that videogames are one of the only things I do, aside from watching anime, it's quite frustrating.

Meh, well it's time to go to bed and give Noein episode 6 a try (I'll get through this damn series one way or another)

Is it worth wondering?
Is it worth losing control?
We all keep blundering
so why don't we let it go?

All the questions that burn inside;
all those answers just want to hide.
Calling out for all these years
to something that might not even hear
Shaking our fists at each other
among our brothers and lovers
Will it every end?

I don't know, but lets not be sad.
Throw away our pitchforks, there's no reason to be mad.
Try to learn to love to live and live to love
and give each other a little positive shove

2009-07-19T04:41:45Z

I was pretty disappointed with the 6th Harry Potter movie. The pacing just felt wrong. I forget what happens in which book but I feel like they missed a few important things in favor of some not so essential things. Dumbledore's death and build up to it was rather weak. No one would really care about Snape being the Half-Blood Prince since it's really not touched upon that much (aside from when Harry gets that luck potion and he casts that one spell on Malfoy) The relationships aren't really as believable. Hermoine, despite showing that she likes Ron, is also shown with Harry too much (a running theme in the movies)

I did think the actor who played Malfoy did a great job though. That's the only thing I liked about it.The rest was either okay or I didn't care enough.

Don't get me wrong

2009-07-18T07:26:45Z

Saturday I get a haircut as part of phase 2 of my big transformation project. I'm withholding pictures until after phase 3 when I get glasses. Not that many of you on my list would necessarily care about that anyway.

I really do hope that it gives me a new image and new feeling for when I go back to school this fall. Fall semester is going to be all about making good impressions on all sorts of new people (did I mention I'm actually volunteering to help freshmen move in?) New look, new attitude, and renewed ambition. So I hope.

I finished My-HIME or I guess it's actually called Mai-HIME? I don't know. Either way, it's an awesome series. Tons of hot chicks, some more clever fanservice, and a great plot. Win.

Now I'm trying to watch Noein. Not going too well. The first episode really doesn't really do a good job of getting the story going. Instead they just throw a bunch of wtf at you and hope that you're hooked enough to watch them try to explain it.

I haven't been watching any of this season's anime though. Anyone have a favorite they'd recommend for me to keep up on?

I feel like making a story, but I'm so lazy at conveying it. Writing I tend to get distracted, drawing my skills need a lot more practice, game making is way too involved, and I have no idea what other medium even exists out there.

For some reason I've also become a little more concious of health. Been thinking of trying to get Pepsi out of my diet and drinking more water. I've even been looking into getting myself a watter bottle/thermos, and have been looking over the issues of plastic vs alluminum vs stainless steel vs glass vs whatever. Thinking about getting this

Is it irrational of me?

2009-07-15T23:06:57Z

So, it turns out my hair appointment was today and not Thursday. My mom swears that she definitely made the appointment for Thursday and the hair place must have screwed up. My cynical side wants to think "They're deceiving us" and that my mom is totally right.

Of course, I'm pretty pissed because I've been looking forward to it and my hair has been at the point where it has gotten uncomfortable. I'm much more inclined to rage at the hair place when there's always a chance my mom screwed up.

I guess I am being irrational. I keep telling myself that waiting a few days for the rescheduled appointment isn't bad, but it's pretty hard.

I finally got around to finishing Eureka Seven. I had been on episode 40ish for several years now, and all attempts at trying to rewatch the series ended with me getting preoccupied with something else (I say rewatch because when I got back to it, I felt it would be better to start over) I'm not sure what finally pushed me to see it all, but I'm glad I finally did.

As for my thoughts, it's one of those rare series where I can't be premature and say "Wow this is the best anime series ever" It was good, no question. It's just that you realize that statements like that can't accurately do justice. You can't convey the emotions, the experience, or the change it brought about in merely a few words.

Of course you could call it the best series, but that would only make people go in with expectations. They'll be expecting Naruto or Death Note, or Code Geass, or Gurren Lagann, or whatever their current favorite anime is. But of course that's not right. In the end it's not like you're judging one series over another. When you find a new favorite series, it isn't because one is necessarily just better than the other. It's the feelings and emotions that are invoked by the characters. The only reason you ever place it on a list is because you think "Wow this series made me feel more strongly than this other series"

In reality, did you feel stronger or did you forget what the feeling was like of the last? What if what you watched last was key to your deeper emotions you felt while watching the more recent series? Would you say the key series that unlocked the ability was more important than the series that invoked stronger emotions? I admit it's kind of like asking "Which is more important, the key or the car?"

Instead of saying, "Oh yeah Eureka Seven is the best anime" I'm going to talk about how it made me feel.

So, I hadn't realized this until recently, but I have ice that exists around the heart part of my brain. Somewhere along the way, I began to doubt myself and negativity began to flow in. After it had made me unsure of myself, it turned to attacking my ideals, hopes, dreams, and before I knew it a part of me froze over.

To give you the prime example, I guess i'd have to talk a bit about my feelings about love. When I was young, I thought it was something magical. As I got a bit older I saw it as special and something I wanted. Then somewhere along the line my mind started associating love as nothing special. Just find someone of attractiveness that you enjoy and throw in your lives together. That's probably generalizing the feeling too much, but that was basically it. Of course I still felt the feelings that made me desire a relationship, but when I thought about it, it was never with the hopes or fantasies I had.

That's changed. Thanks in part to Eureka Seven. Although, I would also say that the third Tenchi movie and the game yume miru kusuri were responsible as well. However, the main point is that I think the series helped make me feel magic was possible again.

I dyed my hair. Didn't come out like I was expecting it to (never does), but I think I'm getting used to it. It's kind of a dramatic change from usual. When I get my haircut and new glasses I'll have some pictures to show.

I finished Digital Devil Saga II by playing it on an emulator on my pc (so I could use cheat codes to get through it) It's sad because the game series actually has a neat concept behind it all. Yet they failed to deliver it to me.

Bought the Dig off of Steam and played it. I figured it would be like other Lucasarts adventure games, but I was pretty disappointed. It didn't feel like it had much plot and the puzzles were too much like Myst rather than say something like Monkey Island or Kings Quest.

Speaking of Monkey Island, I played the first episode in the new Monkey Island game that Telltale is doing. It's not bad. There's still stuff that needs to be worked on for future episodes, but they've got potential It made me want to go back and play the older games at any rate.

Finished Aeka's route in that one Drug that Makes You Dream game. It was less sad than the Neko-chan route but it made me rage more (not at the actual game, but the events in the story) Well I doubt any of you would know what I'm talking about, so I'll just leave that at that.

Rented the One Piece game for the Wii. Of course, being a big fan of One Piece, I'm biased to like the game on the lore alone. I can't figure out how to dash effectively though which is pissing me off, and I really don't like the dub job on it. Why is it games with horrible dubs never have the option to switch to Japanese but the games with exceptional voice acting do?

I don't know

2009-07-07T03:00:27Z

Digital Devil Saga 2 can suck my cock. In fact, I'm considering labeling the series as a failure and moving on. What caused me to come to this conclusion?

1. Horrible encounter rate - The series has a horrid encounter rate. You take 10 steps and 98% of the time it's another battle. Better hope you're not caught by surprise and that you get to go first. If you don't, you could be in for a rough spot.. Then if you suddenly manage to make it through, guess what? You're going to get into another battle soon anyway

This is especially frustrating when you're close to a save point. You think "Ah just let me get to that save point and it will all be okay" then 3 steps away you get into a battle which leaves you in worse shape than ever.

2. The dungeons - They toss dungeon after dungeon at you with small story cutscene in between. You spend maybe 3 minutes on the cutscene and maybe 1-3 hours on a single dungeon. These dungeons usually consist of 10-30 rooms about the size of a football field and require you to walk through them all. Yes walking across a football field with random encounters every 10 steps. It's great..

If you think I'm exaggerating, I should let you know that every dungeon has 2-3 save points. The final dungeon in the original Digital Devil Saga had about 10 save points.

3. Difficulty curve - Playing on normal mode I shouldn't get butt raped as often as I do.

My characters are around level 12 or 13 right now. They have some skills and I was trying to master Mantra (the only way of getting more skills) Enemies aren't always easy though. You get a lot of them who will hit your elemental weaknesses right off and proceed to rip your party apart. When you finally get back control you have to do damage control before you can let loose leaving you open for another barrage of raping. Then you've got enemies using status ailments that almost always hit you at a bad time..

Fuck I can't remember a game that ever took status ailments that seriously before. I don't think I want to.

4. Story - Okay, I obviously liked the story of 1 enough to play 2 right? Well that's only partially true. You see the first game had very little story to speak of. You were dungeon crawling throughout almost the entire thing. Whatever story there was made you wonder if you were supposed to understand the story or not.

See I think they could have easily condensed both games into a solid game. The fact that they decided to amp up the difficulty and lower the rewards was a bad decision.

-_- Maybe I'll just go read wikipedia on it and play something better.

Man on a Mission

2009-07-06T07:48:03Z

I'm a man on a mission today. Beat Digital Devil Saga. It was pretty fucking frustrating too. It almost made me want to break my copy of the game in half. I managed through it though, and I've started the sequel (which actually looks to be a lot better) Going to work on it a lot on Monday. Tuesday will be reserved for episode one of Monkey Island 5. Then probably back to it after that. Going to make a sizable dent into all the crap I've accumulated over the summer.

4th of July? I hadn't noticed.

2009-07-05T08:01:37Z

Anyone ever see The Cat Returns? It's a Studio Ghibli anime movie that was brought over by Disney that just slipped under my radar. Everyone I seem to talk to has never heard of it either. My mom rented it from Netflix, and I just watched it today. I have to say it's definitely a favorite of mine now. I'd recommend seeing it if you liked stuff like Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, etc.

On an anime related note, I saw this on /a/ today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDivT6hj9Vw

Part of me wants to die while the other part has a morbid curiosity for it. I say bring it on.

I wound up not playing Fallout 3 today, which is awesome. The bad part is I wound up playing a demo of Sonic Unleashed... Christ, it was like they were trying to make Sonic a good game again, but then they decided to completely fuck everything up again. Thing that annoyed me the most? When you get hit you don't lose all your rings anymore. That's blasphemy for a Sonic game. I'm sorry.

I need to get back to playing Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga and finish that soon. I got Digital Devil Saga 2 rented from Gamefly and I should probably beat the first one since the plot carries over. It's hard though. The game feels so dated. Random encounters are way too high and the dungeons look like shit compared to what Persona 4 did (which is the only reason I'm even looking at these games because they're all in the vein of Shin Megami)

Speaking of old games, I want to play Crystalis, Suikoden II, or Xenogears again. I also want to get around to trying out the old Phantasy Star games I heard were good (2 and 4 primarily) Don't know if I'm even going to be able to find time to though. I got so much other shit lined up and I really don't need to be pushing anything back right now. If anyone's curious, here's a list of stuff I have or intend to do.

Games (in no particular order)
------
Skies of Arcadia
Digital Devil Saga
Digital Devil Saga II
Dark Cloud II
Fable II
Rogue Galaxy
Neverwinter Nights
Valkyrie Profile II (lots of fucking II games)
Grandia (Maybe, if I manage to get a hold of it again)
Fallout 3 Broken Steel (I bought the addon, I'll have to beat it sooner or later)
Monkey Island 5 (Which I'll actually be playing in a few days here when it comes out)

and in the visual novel/ero-game category
------
Yume something I can't remember the full name of (I'm actually almost done with this game)
Kanon (Recently 100% translated)
Da Cappo (Just because I had the misfortune of buying it)
Pia Carrot
There's one game that was also recently translated that I'm forgetting
Clannad
Suika
Katawa Shoujo (although I might just wait until the full version comes out)

Anime (Series I actually own but I need to watch)
------
Full Metal Panic (I saw maybe the first 3 episodes way back when)
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi (I hear it's supposed to be pretty good and funny)
Azumanga Daioh (Can you believe I never seen this?)
Noein
Nadia
Black Lagoon (Saw the first episode)
Eureka Seven (I was a fanatic for this series when it was coming out on Adult Swim. Then I missed a few episodes and stopped watching so I wouldn't spoil the experience. Have the whole series but haven't gotten to actually finishing it since I keep restarting over to refresh myself on the story.. This will be one series I definitely need to finish)
Serial Experiments Lain (I know it's fucked up)
Saiyuki (this one I don't really care so much about. Almost considered just getting rid of it along with some of my other anime I'm trying to get rid of, but meh)
The third Tenchi movie (the only Tenchi related thing I haven't seen aside from that awful looking GXP spinoff)
Mushi-shi - I ordered this a while back with Black Lagoon because they were having a deal. Haven't gotten it though because it's on backorder

And if that wasn't enough I've got stuff downloaded from college that I wanted to check out
----
K-ON (I watched the first two episodes. Didn't really follow it very far due to time issues)
Sengoku Basara (PUT YA GUNS ON. Watched it til episode 6. Thought it was a pretty awesome series. Again didn't have the time to keep up with it)
07 Ghost (I think that's what it's called? It was supposedly a sleeper hit for a lot of people. Got to check that shit out)
Planetes (Older anime, but supposedly good)
Plus 3-4 other series

Plus there's reading I have to do
-----
A Storm of Swords (book I'm almost done with from the Song of Ice and Fire Series)
A Feast for Crows (the next book)
Fairy Tail volume 1 (almost done with this. Character design is so much like One Piece... But One Piece fucking rules so that's okay)
Rurouni Kenshin (I need to read the parts that were never animated sometime)
Tsubasa Chronicles vol 1 and 2
Hunter X Hunter vol 1 (from the guy who did Yu Yu Hakusho, so it's got to be good)
Negima vol 1

Wow, that was a lot of crap I need to get working on.

Ninja parade went undetected.

2009-07-04T08:23:48Z

Fuck Fallout 3.

After I beat Golden Sun I decided I would play the Fallout 3 expansions. Played the Pitt and Point Lookout fine, but then when I got Broken Steel I got the craving to start a new character. Since I knew the ropes of the game well, I was able to make my character into a total badass. She's got what I consider to be the perfect combination of stats and perks and extras (I make all my characters in these type of games female. In Fallout 3 I give them wild hair colors)

However, I know I'm not really enjoying myself. The game, while massive at first glance, has a very small storyline. You get choices for many different ways of completing the quests, but when all is said and done the quests are few and generally short. It makes me long for a JRPG again.

I can tell that I'm in a rut.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to watch some of the anime I've been stockpiling.

Incidentally, in an unrelated note. Does anyone have any headphones they could recommend? I'm kind of in the market for a pair. Traditionally I've liked headphones that went over the ears, but they tend to get uncomfortable after a while. Earbuds are okay, but I already have a good brand for that. I was thinking towards a behind the head model, but I never see them in stores.. So anyone have some favorites they'd like to recommend? I'm not too much of an audiophile. They just have to be comfortable and durable

I shouldn't stay up writing. Been getting to bed too late as it is

So

2009-06-28T07:04:44Z

If anyone's been wondering, I started up Yume Miru Kusuri (a ero visual novel) after Golden Sun 2. I have to say it's one of the more powerful games I've played in a while. As in, I feel a lot of strong feelings when I play through it (I've already finished one route and working on the others)

I think I'm going to start on one of the ideas I've been kicking around in my head. It'll either involve me writing something long, making a game, or creating something that I think people could really use on the internet right now. Cryptic, I know.

Beat Golden Sun 2

2009-06-27T04:54:17Z

Golden Sun 2 was definitely a good game. I can't wait for the 3rd one to come out on DS. Strangely, I find myself wanting to find some ero for it, but I haven't had much luck (Aside from the fanfics, which I swear are too much Issac/Mia, Isaac/Jenna, or Alex/some guy)

Been playing Fallout 3 DLC lately. Played the Pit and Point Lookout so far, and I have Broken Steel downloaded to try sometime in the future.

Wasn't too impressed with The Pitt or Point Lookout. They both went by too fast. I was expecting more intricate stories. They were fun, don't get me wrong. I just wanted something that was going to interest me more.

Not sure what I'm going to focus on playing next. Might try to get some visual novels out of the way or finish Digital Devil Saga so I can play the second one (which I'm renting from Gamefly)

And before I forget

Transformers 2 was better than the first. The first I thought focused too much on the boy and a sex icon to be considered a work of art. This one actually did a better job of actually coming up with a plot. There's still some cheesey parts, but the humor, action, and some plot between the autobots/decepticons actually redeems it. Good to watch in a theater. Admittedly, it'd probably be shittier on DVD.

If anyones bored, feel free to send me a message sometime.

Wow, Michael Jackson died.

It's pretty shocking. I'm not a huge fan of his, but I did enjoy some of his songs. Plus thinking about the inspiration he was to a lot of people who dance/sing today just makes it even more so. You don't think much about him when he isn't in the news for some alleged misconduct with children or when he isn't making music.

Well, rest in peace Michael.

Man, I miss Busou Renkin. That series was just what I needed in a time where I wasn't feeling very good about anything (The intro came up on my playlist which is why i'm talking about it)

Going to see the Transformers sequel tonight. I hope it doesn't suck.

I wish it was school again. In Hayward, I feel like it's not really possible to meet anyone new romantically speaking. At school I might not find anybody, but at least I feel more confident about the prospects.

It's too bad you just can't go up to a cute girl and say "Let's be in a relationship" That would be so much easier than this BS you have to do instead.

Anyway, I'll update later.
