I found this game to be the epitome of calming. The music made me feel so peaceful.
Do you know that feeling you get, when you spend an entire day swimming and then lie down at night to sleep, but you feel like your still moving? On level two, watching the moon and listening to the music made me feel like was moving, swaying in a tide. It was amazing.

in stat lab.
I think this is the most pointless class I have ever taken.
But at least my proff's accent is amusing. She's Chinese, and her accent is heavy, so half the time you either can't understand her, or trying not to laugh.

Tried to curl my hair last night. Didn't exactly go that well. Apparently my hair was too thick, even though I seperated it into such small portions that it took me three hours to do. I'm thinkning of buy those big plastic curlers and just leaving them in while I sleep.

I started readning Wuthering Heights yesterday. Am only thirty-ish pages in, and I'm not really sure I'm liking it. I LOVED Pride and prejudice (even though it took me a while to get used to the writing style) and was excited for Wuthering Heights cause it was written around the same time. But its just not doing it for me. And I'm a little confused. I thought it was supposed to be a romance, but so far, I don't really see any romantic prospects. I'm pretty sure the main character is a guy, Mr. Lockwood (unless its a cross dress story, which I would love) and I'm pretty sure its not a B-Love novel so I don't see him hooking up with Heathcliff. Unfortuantely.
Then there's Joseph. I can't understand a word he says.
"what are ye for? t' maister's dahn i' t' fowld. Go rahnd by th' end o' laith, if yah went tuh spake tull him. They's nobbut t' missus; and shoo'll nut open 't an ye mak yer flaysome dins till neeght."

WTF?

I get the jist of it. But most of it goes right over my head.

I'll continue reading it though, I'm not going to pass on a classic just cause it doesn't immediately suck me in.

I've decided, as soon as I get a job I'm buying a bookshelf and organizing my books, alphabetical by author. It'll be amazing.
On that note, I'm keeping a record of all the books I'm reading this year. I think it'll be intersting to see how much I read in a year. On average, last year, I read roughly four a month, depending on what I was reading, but in December alone I read 13 books. So it varies from month to month. It also helps that December was the month I got dead from EVER SICKNESS KNOWN TO MAN and quit my job. So I was stuck at home on the couch while I recovered, with nothing but the torture that is daytime television to ocupy my time. *shudder*

I went to a movie with my cousin last week. We talked about how he was enjoying highschool. He's going to the one I went to. I got nostalgic and started telling him of all the fun things that happened in my classes, like the time we made a bomb in Stuart's bio class, or when we did nothing but play games in Pourier's (sp?) forensics. Or when we all went to Galaxyland to "study" the rollercoasters for physics. Or when Kinga put fucking Hidrochloric acid IN HER EYE in chem. idtiot. we had to use the eye wash station, which I'm sure hadn't been used since the school opened.
And the sad part?
He had no idea who I was talking about.
All of my favorite teachers had left. And I only graduated three years ago.

*sigh*

It makes me feel old.

"I am a beautiful man flower. I will...blossom."

lol

Just wanted to voice a complaint that my left index finger is STILL hurting from three consecutive hours of scanning planets for minerals. It was the only thing I hated about the game, it was tedious, pointless, and now my finger won't stop throbbing.

I think BioWare is trying to induce a mass outbreak of Nintendo Thumb.

Finished ME:2.
Tali, Grunt, and Miranda died. Don't real care much for Miranda, she was a bitch, but losing the other two made sad.
Shall have to play through again and make sure everyone survives. And shall have to download he dlc. somehow. even through my xbox has no internet. perhaps I could use someone else's console? Will look into it.

Am happy with my decision to NOT cheat on Kaidan, hopefully it will have an effect on game three.
Speaking of which, I am sure my decisions to not kill the Geth and to give the reaper base to cerberus will have serious ramifications in ME:3, am excited to find out what they are.

After second playthrough will continue onto a third in order to witness the romance with Grarrus. His awkwardness made me laugh. such as:

"If you were a Turian, I'd compliment your fringe and your waist. So your, uh... hair, is nice. And your waist looks... very supportive."


"Look on the bright side, Shepard. Even if this ends up being the saddest, most awkward attempt at interspecies intercourse in galactic history, we can always bump up the suicide mission."

And then when Mordin gets wind of your relationship he offers a bit of...advice.

"Turian body chemicals can create a allergic reaction in humans when ingested so.... don't ah... ingest...."

lol

I think the guy sitting across from me is trying to play footsie. He keeps touching my foot with his and then leaning around his pc and waving at me.
Its kinda weird.

I got to school today an hour and a half before my class starts in order to finish up my assaignment that's due.
But I think something is trying to make me fail this class.
I've spent the last half an hour trying to open the file I need in order to do the assignment. But it keeps saying its "not a minitab file" even though when I click on it it's classified as minitab. And to top it all off, the first half of the assignment that I completed last week in class seems to have been deleted from my account so I have to start at the begining again.
But I can't open the file necessary to do the work.
I'm fucked.

When I got his letter I was happy. And reading the last line made my heart flutter.
"When things have settled down a little... maybe... I don't know, just take care.
-Kaiden"

*sigh*

I'm bored out of my mind.
There was no point in me going home cuase I soon as I got there I would have had to leave to make it to class on time. But there's nothing to do here when I'm not working on homework or in class.
I watched the letest episode of Kimi Ni Todoke and it made me squee, but I had to be quiet cause I'm in the library. And I couldn't do my kukuku laugh like I normally do when I watch that show.
*siiiiigh*

I think I'll go read the user manual for my new amazing mass effect game.

So I came into school early today to work on my assignment that's due tonight and to finish a project that's due thursday night.
I've been here for an hour and a half and I finally finished my assignment. yay for that. And I go to start my project when I find out I left my lab manual at home. T.T
I don't have the computer program at home that I need to do this project so this mean that now I have to come back tomorrow, on a day I have no classes, to finish.
This sucks.
And I'm an idiot for not checking if it was in my bag.

Bought Mass Effect 2.
Can't wait to get home and plaaaay it.
XD
*ecited*

sitting in my STAT LAB.
prof still not here yet and class started 25 min ago.
bored.
no one really knows what we're supposed to be doing.
people have started google-ing themselves to pass the time.

I've decided I'm going to watch all six of the Ju On movies. Starting tomorrow. If I started tongith I wouldn't sleep, I need the sun to be up if I'm going to watch these.

I just bought the dragon ball movie!!!
I'm going to watch it right now, I'm SO EXCITED!!!

So I got back fro my aunt's today, I spent the last couple of days at her house helping her out cause all three of her kids had hockey practice and games and her husband is out of town.
I cannot express how glad I am to be home, I like how quiet my house is, I don't think I could stand it always being that loud.
Don't get me wrong, I want kids and I understand that when you have them it won't be quiet, but I'm not ready for that yet and I need to have time for myself.

The minute I got home I passed out on the couch cause I was so tired. I don;t think it was the fact that I was literally always moving while I was there, I think it was the fact that I was sleeping on my cousin's bed and...not to say his bed sucked, but I'm used to a mattress that's %30 memory foam with an additional two inch layer of memory foam on top of that. Then I go and sleep on his bed and to me it felt like I was sleeping on a wooden board. I'm used to sleeping on marshmallows. I can't wait to crawl into my bed tonight.

ok, so maybe I might need that other program. I think it was called Systran?
I'll ask fhc in the when I get home on saturday.
I really just wanted to have a simple translation for my first game because as soon as I add in another progra I hve to manually decide which parts of each sentence I want translated by each program and I didn't want to have to do that much work for my first game.

But this is what the last few sentences have translated into and its starting to hurt my head trying to make sense of it all.

So this is a typical conversation:
Tsuchikiza:
It is really happy that Tsukiko's face is seen every day at the hereafter.

I shall not be a fortunate person.

(I'm pretty sure it means: I'm really happy that I get to see Tsukiko's face everyday. I'm fortunate.)

Hisashi(the girl he's talking to):

It is exaggerated.



[Tsuchikiza] :

Do not you call the sheep as of old why?

(they keep talking about sheep, an it makes no sense so I'm positive that its a mistranslation)

Hisashi:
It ..sheep Herr.. called because it is a child at night ..Hisashi "...

It is already a high school student, and a childish I wonder. "
(hisashi translates to "at night" so I kind of get what this says, but not enough for it to make much sense)

[Tsuchikiza]:

"Does if it's the case cc sheep call?"
(again with the sheep

hisashi:
"Well, errr ...
Calling suddenly by calling by the first name is shameful.
(so I'm guessing she's telling him that its not appropriate for him to use her first name)

[Tsuchikiza]:

"Why do not you call by calling by the first name?

hishashi:
"cc because it is shameful for a moment. "
[Tsuchikiza]:

"Why is it shameful?"
hishashi:
"It is cc to call suddenly for a moment. "

nanami:
Then, I say.

It is snobbery also - ..sheep.. today from morning.

So I get some of it, but most of the time I'm quite lost.
sigh.
I'll get the other program.
let you know how that goes.

So I figured out what I'm doing with atlas and have started playing my fist untranslated otome game.
Its....amusing to say the least. Mostly because of the way atlas converts the words to english its not exactly...grammatically correct.
for example.
this:
よっ、おはよう。月子も遅刻組か？珍しいな」

焦って走る私とは対照的に

translates into this:

What am I who is in a hurry and runs to contrasting?

like I said, amusing.
I'll be reading along as the game progresses and then all of a sudden a sentence like that gets thrown in there.
But I was warned of this. Fhc told me that atlas is best used for translating kanji but has serious issues when it comes to sentences with a lot of hiriana. She also said that if I want to fix this problem I have to get a supplementary program to translate just the hirigana. buuut thats too much trouble for my first game. So for now I'll just put up with the odd sentences here and there.

I've been really craving otome games lately, the problem is all the one's that are translated are either crap or I've already played them.
So I've decided to try and play some untranslated games.
I've gotten AGTH and ATLAS. As well as some /h codes and an updated ATLAS dictionary.
Now I just need to figure out how to use these to play a game.....

I'll let you know how it goes.
