I want to breathe that fire again...

Hm. I haven't even glanced at LJ in days. This is odd.

1. Have been familiarizing myself with Ubuntu. I love her to pieces (all OSs are female, didn't you know?) but for someone totally new to Unix-style set-ups, there is a giant learning curve. Thank god Mum works at a bookstore and is getting me The Practical Guide to Ubuntu for my dumb ass.



2. I played the PS3! Borrowed it from one of Mum's co-workers so we could play Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 'cause, goddamn, if I made myself play that fucking FPS crap game in the series, I can't give up on my Insomniac Games just because they jumped to another system. To make it plainer: my very first PSX game, back when I was a wee child, was Insomniac's Spyro the Dragon. I played all the Insomniac-made sequels, then followed them to the R&C series. They are My Game Company and I'll follow them to the edge of the world. I adore them.
   
   That said, R&CF:ToD was utterly awesome, fun, and oh my god gorgeous. I didn't know games could look like that.
   
   But the ending fucking blew and I feel 110% cheated.



3. Speaking of video games... I may be making a fanvid of Kingdom Hearts 2. >.> I've rediscovered the love I had for Roxas and Axel and the concept of Nobodies and... I think I could make a decent vid of them. I'm just waiting for someone on the Ubuntu forums to give me a hand finding a video editing program. God, I will never say these words out loud but I miss Windows Movie Maker.



4. The new puppy is not the little Satan I expected him to be, despite the fact he seems to get depressed when in my presence. Not my fault I refuse to play with him- no matter what I do, he bites me and I don't roll like that. Have dubbed the puppy Pavlov. Mum wants him to be Jake. So, on a compromise, we named him Jacob Pavlov. I call him Pav tho and he seems to answer to that more readily, so that's groovy.



5. I have daily migraines now. I am certain it's because my glasses. Since I'm shooting to get Lasik done, we didn't get me a new prescription for the last year since my glasses are very expensive. I'm starting to really suffer for it now though. The aspirin bottle is a close friend of mine. One pill kills a light-induced headache before it becomes... Well, my family has a very bad history with migraines (it involves hospital visits and one time a suicide attempt) and that I'm getting them so early in life is kind of scaring me...



6. I could really do to see the world on fire right now. I am not sure why, but lately I'm putting on a facade of kindness and patience instead of being genuinely kind and patient.
   
   When I was a kid, I could tell when a storm was coming. I've got that same weird, cold feeling right now. It's wrecking my focus something awful.



7. Are you still reading this? Seriously? I don't think anyone actually reads these... Here, have a song. It's the one I'm gonna vid. Thanks for reading, I guess.



8. Something is really wrong and I can't figure out what it is.

See you guys around then.
