So, I found the new MMORPG I want to play. It's called Perfect World, it's a Chinese MMO and it hasn't been released in the States yet, unfortunately.
The character design options seem really flexible, and like you can do a lot with them compared to other games. Also the graphics look really nice and the races interest me. There aren't 17 elf races, humans, 5 short/barbaric races, and then the furries like what Vanguard seemed to have. Okay, well the races aren't entirely creative in this game either, they have humans, a race called wings, a beast race (fox/tiger/lion), something else maybe..? But the point is, that they look nice to me. Anyway, I was looking in Vanguard earlier because I saw it on G4 and it looked pretty neat, however after a bit of searching I pretty much came to the conclusion (well, as Vicen eloquently put it) that it was EQ3 . The graphics aren't that great for the system reqs they take, and apparently there are a lot of bugs with the game.
Here is the 1st half of the intro that someone posted on Youtube, I'm too lazy to find the link to the second.
EDIT: Second part of the intro.

1 more day of school, bitches! Okay, so 1 and a 1/2 technically for me since I'm going in the day after to test out of my Intro to Tech class. At least I won't be afraid of not passing the excel portion. ♥ I don't really have many comments for this year, nothing extraordinary happened through the course of it. It's really odd how as time goes on, it seems to keep getting faster and faster. I can't really say that I've felt like this year has been productive though, but it was definitely happier than sophomore year. A lot of it just felt like I was killing time, not really learning anything entirely useful. I know that summer won't be entirely eventful either (thanks to my stupid dad -_-). However I am going to try to get some important questions answered. College-wise, mostly. I really am unsure of where I want to go to college, or what I plan to major in. I have some ideas...
The other major goal I have for the summer is driving. My dad has never really offered to take me driving, and there is no way I want to drive in the car we have that he would probably make me use. >_>; The only times he has ever asked me are in times where there was no way I'd say yes. Like right before school, one day he asked if I wanted to drive. I was already late, and all that. I guess it's not really his business to ask me either.. My grandmother has asked me a few times too, but due to lack of confidence in myself, I really didn't want to trouble her by taking up her offer. *sigh* I'm so pathetic. >_>; Driving and passing my driver's test seems like a lot to do over the summer, but maybe it's not really as hard as I think.
Stupid Windows Automatic Update popping up now. >_<

Zetsubou Billy (Death Note ED2) - MAXIMUM THE HORMONE |
] |
7 school days left until the end of the school year! I'm definitely ready for it. I think we could have comfortably cut a week off school and finished all the stuff we needed to. We picked next year's marching show for band, it's Earth, Wind, and Fire. I'm not exactly excited but the choices weren't great. The last 5 it was unfairly narrowed down to were: Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Incredibles, Moulin Rouge, Mangione Magic (something Mr. Beson wanted that nobody else cared about), and Styx. Although I did like music from Moulin Rouge, it had a lot of slow songs which I don't think is very good for our group. We're horrible at playing and marching to slow music, and I have no faith in our trumpet section (there were quite a few trumpet solos). I don't know, I can't say that I was particularly familiar with any of the shows on that list, and picking any of them would have resulted in me liking them about the same. I can't say by the time we voted I really cared anymore, because the voting is never fair anyways.
For our Chemistry final Ashley and I are doing a presentation where you set bubbles on fire. We practiced it today, it looked so awesome. Although I wish we could have practiced a bit more with it (okay, so maybe I just wanted to see more bubbles burst into flames instead of going to English class and watching the movie version of Fahrenheit 451, which btw is incredibly different from the book). Anyways, skip to economics today. Mr. Robinson was being creepy and trying to talk to me, as usual, asked me how I was and I churned out the general "Okay." in a very "Stop talking to me, d00d." tone. Then he was like Blahblahblah, it's Monday, you're supposed to be miserable because the weekend's over, why did you like to me? And I almost said "Because I wanted you to stop talking to me." or something along those lines. I really really can't wait to get out of his retarded class. So pointless. It's kind of bad when the only thing I think about after lunch is how I don't want to sit through his boring, useless class.
Anyhow, this entire week has felt pointless to me. We finished the normal curriculum in Spanish about a month ago. Economics was a pointless class from the start. Band is, well, band. English is a game of "I hope the teacher likes me so she marks my short answer questions right and doesn't grade my portfolio paper like a bitch." And then in Pre-calculus, well Mr. Riley can't teach anyway. Even when I do actually try to pay attention instead of playing Pokemon. Speaking of precalc, I'm seriously thinking of just blowing off our next quiz. I have a C in the class, and he's going to drop our lowest quiz grade, so if I bomb the next one it won't really matter. But then I predict failing the final. But I really don't want to study. >_> Stupid end-of-the-year-don't-give-a-fuck-anymoreitis.

Departure - Rurouni Kenshin |
] |
Well, I can't do my chemistry homework because I forgot my notebook in my locker, so I'm wasting time by doing this. It felt good to get an extra day off for Memorial weekend, although that doesn't mean I did much anything. I'm so glad that we're on the last leg of the school year too, although I am dreading finals week. I'm going to try to test out of my Intro to Tech class so I can take a more meaningful class, but the material to study was kind of broad. I have to know about the history of computers/the internet, e-commerce, and how to use basic programs.
Spiel on Death Note 32: Honestly, I wasn't expecting to learn more about Mikami in the anime because the season seems to be flying by. Anyhow, the episode was very interesting, and that doesn't do it justice. I don't want to say much about it because of spoilers.
Spiel on Zelda:Twilight ("Toilet") Princess: I'm finally on the last dungeon of this game! It took me forever. >_>; I have like.. 54 hours of playtime (keeping in mind I've only consented Gamefaqs a few times) currently. I got the game the day or day after we got the Wii. The last dungeon was pretty interesting, and it wasn't too drawn out. I've actually been finding it a little difficult to find time to play, usually I only play once or twice per week, but that's fine. Usually I have to break the dungeons into 3 plays, and it takes me awhile to figure, oh yea, I was going to go unlock that door. And omg, the bosses in this game are so fun. I just hope the final boss isn't too hard, although I sort of expect it to be since all of the bosses have felt kind of easy.
Spiel on Pokemon: So with the release of the new Pokemon DS games, my interest in Pokemon has been (shamefully?) rekindled. I bought Pokemon Pearl over the weekend, but I haven't been able to play yet because Ashley still has my DS. Although the new lineup of pokemon seems expectingly disappointing (monkey with its ass on fire, wtf?), I'm still excited because of wi-fi connectability among other things. I think I'm going to get the water startet, but I don't like it's final evolved form compared to its cute primary form.
Spiel on other stuff: I watched a few eps of Kenshin this weekend. I never did finish watching the last season. It's a lot calmer than the last 2 seasons, but I still like it. A lot of people didn't like/hated the 3rd season of Kenshin. Also Vicen and I got our turtle pets today in WoW, as two level 13s, orz. It was a pain in the ass because we're such low level. Anyhow, so far Sentinels seems like a pretty sweet server. There was a guy who randomly gave us 2g because we're lowbies. Then while we were dying walking through Dustwallow a random BE hunter helped us through a bit. It was nice, I don't think I ever would've seen that stuff on Kirin Tor/any of the other billion servers we've played in.

Twilight Princess Trailer 3 - Koji Kondo |
] |
Today was pretty pointless. In the morning all my classes were almost empty because everyone was at the Junior/Senior Breakfast. I didn't go because *shrug*. I heard the food sucked anyways, and that it was crowded. I didn't really have any interest in going, I don't know, but I was almost glad to see the senior class leave. It's not that I didn't like them, it's just *shrug*. I wasn't particularly close to any of them. I really need something formal-ish to wear (random). Anyways, I did nothing but play Mario during my Chem and English classes. In Spanish we had to write conversations involving our new vocab (environment vocab, woo el smog). We had a good amount of time to write them, and my group finished very quickly. So I got my GBA back out and started to play while waiting. I beat my copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 (Advance 4). The ending was so not rewarding, but the game itself was fun. I wonder if I can beat another game during school before we get out. June 13th is my last day. I'm also testing out of Intro to Tech (well hopefully), so I have to come back the 14th and take that final. I need to figure out what d00ds I have to know about for the history of comps, they just gave me a sheet that's like, know how to use these programs and about this. It's so vague, and rather annoying.
Anyways, Death Note 31 was subbed today. 3 more eps left in the series. 31 was definitely an interesting ep, especially at the end. It's too bad the 2nd season feels so rushed compared to the first, but it's still interesting. I don't want to get in depth about the ep itself right now. Also I have to comment on the 2nd OP song. At first I was like, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? MY EARS BLEED!!!!" Then slowly I started to be able to tolerate the song, later I saw the Japanese Headbanging Video of Doom and liked the song. XD The first time I saw it I cracked up.
I finally beat the Sky Temple in Zelda (I started Thursday of last week, but I didn't play again until yesterday). The boss was really fun, then unfortunately the time in between that and the next dungeony place was very short. I can't wait to finish the game.

Futility - Samurai X OST |
] |
So I went over my grandmother's, the car ride felt sooo slow. Plus my dad kept going like 2-3 miles under the speed limit at least. Going over to my grandmother's is always quite boring. I tried to use her computer to get online but after I turned it on and got to the desktop screen, the monitor just died and I couldn't turn it back on. That computer is very old too, and I know she never uses it. So I sat around, after awhile I got out my DS and played Animal Crossing/Mario Bros. 3 (or Advance 4). I made around 65k bells, 35k left on the loan now. Oh yea, there is no way I'm going to get myself to do my econ tonight. Screw that. What I should do is my chemistry though, I haven't done any of the worksheets yet. I want my Sunday back. ; ;
EDIT: So I was browsing the net a bit and it seems like Viz has decided to take on the dubbing of Death Note. Here. Light's voice sounds like he's an arrogant/angry boy going through puberty. His voice should be a lot smoother (preferably with a dash of creepy). I can't say much about L's voice since it's his using the voice program.

Autumn Leaves - Frank Sinatra + Piano Vers by Someone I don't remember |

So a few weeks ago I decided to start playing Guild Wars (Factions). I haven't been too impressed with it, though. The graphics are pretty amazing, the loading times slow, but the good things sort of end there. I decided to play a Ritualist/Necromancer.. The game.. I'm not sure, it feels like you don't really have control over how good or badly things go in battles. I've spent the game playing with Vicen, of course, and the rest of the party has been filled the with NPCs. The armor is nice and all, the areas are nice, but the quests just seem lame. The CSes are pretty laughable. The story has a lot to do with this plague going around, sounds really familiar to me (*cough* Warcraft III*). So I think we've pretty much decided to move on again. No, I haven't tried the PvP yet, but I've never been much of a PvP person anyways (it could be the fact that I usually play support jobs, but who knows.)
I played Zelda a few days ago too, I'm on the sky temple, a bit stuck too. It seems like every way I try to go, I need a double clawshot to proceed. I didn't spent much time trying to figure it out though. I'll mess around with it more later, unfortunately not tonight. I have an economics project that I should finish. I just remembered it's actually due Tuesday though, if I'm not mistaken, but I have the book now, so I should try to get myself to do it tonight. Econ really feels pointless, it's not like I have any money to invest anyways.
I'm trying to decide what game I'm going to go to next. I'm not sure what I want, it feels like everything is too serious when I'm trying to decide these things. Or maybe it's just that things don't change. x_x
Well, today is Mother's Day. My brother left to Italy for a week last night. I'm happy for him, but I can't help but feel cheated. It's not his fault, but I'm really upset with my father... I wish there was something I could do.. He won't even let me have Vicen over for 2 weeks. He said it's too much responsibility. I really don't know what to do anymore. It makes me really unsure about what I'm going to do in the future, or where he stands on things. Any of them don't really understand much about it. At least my mom doesn't hate the idea like everyone else seems to. It's nice, but pointless because she really can't do anything. I'm sick of feeling like everyone in my family is trying to change my mind or myself.

I'm really hating my dad right now. He's stubborn, close-minded, complains all the time, is paranoid and overly cautious, hasn't accepted that he isn't living in the world how it was 40 years ago, impossible to relate to, and just downright frustrating to deal with. He's also hypocritical, and makes lame excuses. I feel like all my life he has been trying to change who I am, and if hasn't been him trying to do that, it has been my grandmother. I'm really frustrated with everything right now...

Last Friday was pretty sweet. We did basically nothing because our first 3 classes were taken up by the drama club play (which was very amusing) and then during 4th hour we had the power get knocked out, for like 30 seconds. After a bit it came back on, but there were still problems. My classroom had lights but apparently there were some without lights. Honestly I didn't expect to be dismissed from school, but it was nice that we did. I was lucky that Kayla drove me home, because otherwise I probably would have walked, or maybe waited 10 minutes for the bus.
Episode 28 of Death Note was subbed/released last Wednesday, I watched it and it was sort of disappointing, but better than 27, I think. I really hope the series picks up again.

Watched episode 26 of Death Note yesterday. It was a lot of recap stuff so not much to say there. I think they're introducing new characters in the next episode, so that should be good, whenever it comes out, anyhow. Nothing much has happened since the last time I posted. I can't believe it's already Thursday. ;_; I'm enjoying not having to go to school too much. My new glasses are finally in~ So I'll be getting them later today. Originally I was going to get the same frames I had, but it turned out that they were discontinued, so they couldn't get them in. The entire thing was kind of odd since they didn't say a thing about it when we were there. Later on they called back and said that what they wanted to do was take the lenses out of my current pair and pop the new ones in. So from there I just picked out a new pair, but I wanted the pair I picked in a different color. Lucky for me they didn't have them in, so I had to come back in a week later to see how they looked. That was last week, and now I'm finally getting them today. The entire thing has been pretty frustrating.

*Game Rant*
Twilight Princess for the Wii is amazing. The game play is fun, the story makes me want to keep on playing, the graphics are very nice. I haven't been this interested in a game for a long time, or at least not that I can remember. I like the convenience of being able to save at any time a lot too. I am really enjoying the game and I'd recommend it if you have/plan on getting a Wii. In other news, Animal Crossing for the DS doesn't seem as fun as the one for GC was for me. I think it has to do with how the animals very rarely send you on errands. This week is Flower Festival so I've been accidentally running over the flowers in front of the animal's houses planting some flowers around my house. *shrug*
*Anime Rant*
Recently I started watching an anime called Death Note. I've watched up to episode 25, which are all the episodes that are currently available. The anime has been very good so far, especially the episodes near the beginning. I believe that this is because of the perspective the writer put it in. Most of the anime that I have watched have showed the "good guys" the majority of the time. Their thoughts, their actions, and then having run-ins with the "evil d00ds" from time to time. Maybe some anime will voice the thoughts of the opposing side sometimes, but you get the general idea. Death Note, on the other hand, seems to be more in the perspective of who would be considered bad. Don't get me wrong though, it shows the good perspective as well, but usually the good perspective overshadows or completely eats up the bad or evil one. I don't know, it has been very interesting so far. The whole concept that the anime is built upon is a pretty interesting one to play around with too.

So yesterday was Easter. Woo. I was pretty depressed all day, and it was pretty uneventful anyways. My dad is pissed because apparently my cat has been peeing in the house again. Last night (well technically 2 nights) ago he was yelling and cursing about it at dinner. I barely ate anything, and left. I wasn't hungry anyways. My dad has a lot of problems with things, but he never expresses them. Just randomly one day he'll get really pissed off. And I mean, what are you supposed to do about it then? It has just always seemed very odd to me. He has never asked me to help around the house, or do anything. And if people don't ask for things, then I'm not going to do them, it's not that I don't care or mind, it's just that I don't know what needs to be done.
I find it extremely hard to talk with my dad too. He is very close-minded and stubborn. After the whole religion thing, things have never really been the same. Well no, I always have felt distanced from him. He was always drunk all the time when I was younger. My mom and him would yell and fight all the time at night, a lot of times I wouldn't be able to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. It feels like I can't depend on my parents for anything. It makes me have a lot of doubts about everything. I don't know...
Like for instance.. I've taken Driver's Ed, segment one and two. Driver's Ed was a fucking joke. They didn't teach us anything in that class but written stuff. I got the highest score on the written test. Do I remember anything from it? Hell no. The class was a waste. We only actually drove about 5 times for 30 mins each. Now I don't want to drive because I'm afraid and I don't want to do it with my dad. He is the last person I would want to be with in a car when I am learning how to drive. My grandmother has offered but I am too afraid of giving her a heart attack or something. My mom doesn't know how to do anything.
