Have you ever danced with the devil?

I am well aware I said I would update "soon" about a week ago.

So just look at my new icons while you wait.

take it easy~

I
-Garland does NOT threaten to knock you down. Fail.

II
-Firion lost his rose. Have you seen it? The guy's just looking for his fother mucking rose.
-The Emperor is still the coolest villain of the franchise.

III
-The Cloud of Darkness is more attractive than any of you. And this should make you feel bad.

IV
-All Cecil has to do to become a Paladin is attack in the air. HANDY!

V
-Bartz Butts is still the coolest hero of the franchise.
-Exdeath is a tree. Whose name is Exdeath. But you already knew that.

VI
-Terra has the (pedophile) hots for the Onion Knight.
-Kefka became a Dark Knight fanboy and forgot all about Sons of Submariners. Double Fail.

VII
-Cloud likes extreme sports. Because he is EXTREME.
-Sephiroth is the butt slave of Firion. Seriously, any move Sephiroth makes is stupid and useless against Firion. This proves the game is broken, but I am not complaining.

VIII
-Anything having to do with Final Fantasy VIII is boring. Sorry.

IX
-Everone. HATES. Kuja.

X
-Kefka wants to "play with Tidus's balls." Don't take my word for it.
-Jecht is my eternal hero.

Here's something for you video game historians to remember:

A GBA cartridge is specifically designed to camouflage itself with its surroundings as soon as you feel like finding the said game and re-playing it.

I could have sworn I left Final Fantasy I/II in my car. I'll probably find it about six years from now.

The sim card in my cell phone is fried, so I will be off the map for a few days I guess. Catch me via any sort of intarwebz messaging, or just imagine me staring in Western films in your mind.

Oh, and I will need phone numbers again I guess.

Edit: HAHA DISREGARD, everything is recovered.

Reveal previously unknown/little-known facts about 10 of your LiveJournal friends!


gishin_humura As a proud Lieutenant Major Colonel General of the United States Air Force, he is basically John Rambo. But, as his LJ name implies, he only attacks enemies with the blunt side of the bowie knife. He's also Kyo Kusanagi in disguise.

kerai It is a well known fact to film scholars everywhere that Kerai has had a background/cameo appearance in every single film directed by Roland Emmerich. She was given a brief speaking line in Independance Day where she said "Sir, sir, they appear to be on the radar, sir." This line was cut during post-production, unfortunately, due to the fact that her line may have fooled audiences into thinking Bill Pullman is male.

moonfiresword A skilled-assassin-turned-stoic-heroine, she was one of the very first humans to evar travel through the Stargate. She once sent a nuclear device up into my pyramid ship and detonated it. But that's okay, since I was wearing Egyptian robes and looked fucking GORGEOUS.

muskyisdead Is renown in the gamer world for going back in time to draw all of the realistic box-art for games in the early 90's.

rachandtre This is what happens when Rachel and Tristan combine to form a more powerful robot. This technological terror is currently laying waste to Resident Evil-infested Africa.

readysetrun Rachel's true form. A cyborg unit from the future designed for long-range tactics.

the_last_gatsby Tristan's true form. A cyborg unit from the future designed for close-range tactics and for throwing large, decadent parties.

torakitsune Will be the boss you fight RIGHT BEFORE me in the Game of Life. It will be an intense and difficult boss fight, though fortunately for you I will be willing to refill your life bar before your epic confrontation with me.

travelerkino All tentacles on the planet answer to the will of her or myself, and I intend to let you all figure this out the hard way. I also plan on hiring her in a somewhat Lady Une-ish role one day due to her extensive knowledge of bath fragrances.

wolfkat4 Has many dangerous powers. If she ever played the cat in an old cat and mouse cartoon, she would likely catch and kill the mouse and cause a universe-destroying time paradox.

So I just got bitched to over MSN for about an hour and a half about what SERIOUS BUSINESS zombies and the nature of zombies are. How they can not run and what not. You know... Just how those zombies in real life don't? >.>

I let her go on for about three sentences before I decided she was out of steam and I needed a new source of stimulus. Spotting it on my floor, and realizing the irony, I popped in Return of the Living Dead. Okay, now I am officially out of my writing mood. But I'll go on a bit, then it is beddy-bye for me.

The zombies don't die when you destroy the brain. In fact, every severred piece remains animated, so nobody knows what the fack to do. Oh, and they do run. They are intelligent, and yell "BUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIINS" like they did in the old Scooby Doo cartoons that you probably don't miss. And it's not serious business. It is as pleasently gory as a zombie film should be, but it is also sexy and funny. But not in a spoof-ish way. It has some of the greatest one-liners ever and two of the funniest bumbling main characters I have ever seen. There is a lot of heart put into this movie. Oh yeah, and there is NO SHAKEY CAM.

I dropped the name of this movie to Miss Rantzilla about twenty minutes ago. That sort of turned around into a bunch of personal jabs at me. Hmmmm. I might have been mortally offended, if I were her. Ah well, the Golden Rule is made of gold, after all. I can understand how people would pawn it off in these troubled times. Hey, I kind of like that last sentence. I hope I thought of it first.

Back to the coffin for me now, you silly people with functional circulatory systems. But not before I go to the fridge and get the last of the BRAAAIII-- Oh, no, that's just Chinese pork. Never mind.

Party tricks? Yeah, sure, I know a few.

But little kids? I don't need a criminal record, thank you.

Time for an update, since a lot of different events have gone into motion. I am now officially unemployed, a Stargate addict, and my mom's health has taken a very bad turn. Fortunately I am a rather tenacious job hunter, loving Stargate, and my mother... well, no. That's not looking so good. Even though I can usually look on the bright side, I am far from comfortable and am still reasonably distressed.

Losing the Pizza Hut job was something loooooooong in the making. A big, bald manchild of an assistant manager had it out for me virtually since I started there. As an assistant manager myself, I always tried to be frank... But that's something that doesn't get you anywhere in store-level management. I may also be painting an overly just picture of myself in this scenario, since I was driven to tantrum fairly often by that smelly old foe. Oh well. It is a relief to be able to focus 100% on the job hunt, and it is ALWAYS a nice feeling to be rid of a job that was driving you over the edge. I can't get drunk on that feeling, though, as I really do need a new job as soon as possible.

Stargate is an ~AWESOME~ franchise. I could have told you this from the old movie and videogame, but now I have finally started to watch SG-1. I recommend it to anyone, especially Trekkies who have been indoctrined to the "prime directive." No such nonsense exists for Colonel O'Neil and his personal form of diplomacy. It is seriously the Sci-Fi fix I have been waiting for, and thoroughly curse myself for not getting into sooner. Nonetheless, it is the perfect distraction for me.

And then there is my mother. I would be a fool to deny the fact that she may be dying, and that I may lose the only family member left who is of any importance to me. Long story short, she injured her knee moderately way back on Mother's Day, but has just recently begun to swell and become overcome with pain. It turns out that her kneecap was broken slightly, but she has developed a serious bloodborne infection. Her time may be very short, and I will have no family if she dies. Don't even ask about me and my cousins unless you are that willing to dig much deeper into my personal drama. The internet is not a place for such emotion.

Those are my current events in a nutshell. I'm going to go out now and see Half-Blood Prince to level my head. It had better be awesome, since it WAS my favorite book.

Daniel: This tastes like chicken...
Sam: So what's wrong with it?
Daniel: It's macarroni and cheese...

Goodnight sweet prince. ];

I got the beginnings of a killer sun tan today!

Pretty soon the sun itself will be receiving painful burns from my awesome body's radiance. Where in which it will go supernova and end all life on this planet. That's too extravagant to be a lie, isn't it? Yeah, you know it.

Probably me cursing myself for letting someone pester me into making one. But since that isn't very nostalgic, we'll just say it was about finding the flute in Dragon Warrior 1.

Earth 2: Electric Boogaloo

It all depends. I am phone shy on a regular basis, but I don't want anything as important as business details or serious romance to be related to me through a text.

... even if it kills. us. alllllll. XD

So I've gotten about 25% of the way through a journal update about three times in the last month before something happened and I had to save-n'-quit, then I'd come back and not like the tone of the original and start over again. So if that was any hint, yeah, the last two months have been a series of highs and lows. Thankfully, though, most of the "lows" were actually highs that were just unpleasant, so at the end of it all I am pretty damn thankful. All in all, I feel pretty kickass moving into the new year. I solved and adverted quite a few dire straits, so I actually feel like I'm on a clean slate for once. Since I just want to get this stupid update out in the open, I think I'll approach it in a sloppy timeline manner.

December: Emotional low gets really low, one of the many reasons being the fact that I really hated myself for taking that semester off and the creeping notion that my life had finally reached a true stand-still, since I wasn't attending school OR doing a thing with my creative reporting at the time. I became more isolating than ever and really began to beat myself up thoroughly. I allowed myself about two weeks to realize that I had become an embarassing melodramatic drama-llama, something my sense of humor condemns above anything else. Not just because it is woefully stupid looking, but also because it is the least constructive mindset in the world. So then I went into RUUUUUUUURAAAAAAWWWWWRRRR RAGE mode, fixed some financial shit, then I set my long-planned move to Daytona underway. Things felt better instantly; 'tis the charm of having your gears set it motion once again. Christmas came and went rather uneventfully, and I was moved in shortly after New Years.

I had quit my Office Depot job around Dec. 12th or so on the account that it had reached its suckatude threshold. Early in January I got a job with Dominos. The pizza business is quite grueling. Fastfoward to present day: I defected to Pizza Hut just a couple of weeks ago. I refuse to hold any allegiences in the Cold War era of fast food restaurants; though I bet Subway assassinates you for defecting to Quiznos. ._.

January: I spent most of this month getting resituated. The most interesting thing to occur this month was the part time teaching job I took. As a fencing instructor. =D This is probably the best nostalgia I could have ever bargained for, and my young apprentice is a very apt pupil who will soon know the ways of the Dark Side. I've also gotten to enjoy some time with old buddies since Angie and LB set up Wednesday Night Game Night. A little bit of good company is also enough to turn a bad attitude around. Listen to me... I am sounding like a Self-Help booklet again!

February: Basically just more of January, but I'm not complaining.

So that's pretty much it. Just in time to head off to work. Maybe I'll write a bit more when I get home. Or something. Or cook. Who cares? =P

Oh yeah...



HAVE A VERY GUNDAM VALENTINES DAY!

See you again.

Hello again hello gain, fans of cinema. As a logical follow up to my last installment of Guess That Movie, I now proudly present...

Movie Game III: The Girly-Girl Edition!!!

These are a few of my favorite films that apply, in my opinion, to the female psyche. The need to have a man sweep you off your feet... The need to see "romance" come to fruition... The need to see Tom Cruise play volleyball with Val Kilmer... And other such cheauvanistic assumptions. =) I was pleased with my last game's turnout, so I expect to see you all return as good sports once again! So have at you... Again!

--HINTS!!--

-#1 only needs a hint if you have been living under a rock your whole life.

-#2 also features the immortal Christopher Plummer.

-#3... Gets me every time. Can't think of a good hint.

-#4 is also fairly easy, at least for today's Hot Topic culture.

-#5 is really easy all-around.

-I don't want to give a hint for #6.

-Hints would give #7 away.

-#8 is the best film on here. If you disagree, then you are living proof of a "wrong opinion".

-#9 is the biggest inspiration for The Legend of Zelda, according to Miyamoto.

-#10... Well, the scene I posted was pretty ironic considering the subject matter of the film.
