I got a simple multithreaded program to work, with one working on a repeat timer and the other in a permanent while loop that accepts input via the stupid console (which you generally don't use in java!). It's an accomplishment, at least! Means I have some idea of how I'm going to design this. So have SoaLS stuff, a project I worked on during winter break and worked a little bit on the script this semester.

Is where you can download the mostly finished chapters. I don't think my graphics or script are in here yet but, hey! Pluggity-plug-plug!

Animation attempt to celebrate end of finals. I guess:

This week I learned how to play Magic:The Gathering and got to nerd out on DnD with my nerdy friends. It was super awesome. And if there are Magic giveaways in future cons, I am getting them. *__*

I also have muro requests on dA open: http://cotton-keyk.deviantart.com/journal/dA-Muro-requests-open-273933876

SO I'M GONNA BE AT AM^2 TABLING WITH JAMUKO AND POMPI. Visit if you can! I'll probably be doing physics homework/cutting stuff out/sales talking/c-c-c-commissions!

8D;;

Bonus points if you can help me with physics. ;v;

It's a free con at the Anaheim Convention center, so! \o/ Come come!

It is the strangest thing having a video game fandom again.

Assassin's-freaking-Creed. This trailer inspired me to pick up the first game, which we happened to have lying around.

I just started playing because my bro keeps playing his moe games (Neptunia) on his PS3--not my thing--and I was still craving some kind of DRAMATIC game. And at last, I can finally say I play western games. *__*

Really, honestly, I am not fit for this game. I have no taste nor tolerance for suspense. And yet. AND YET. 8V I LIKE IT. Although I turned off the blood. I am no less a pansy from this experience, so, no this is not a growing up thing. Pickpocketing is the hardest thing. I've missed jumping around and running about like in Ape Escape, and Assassin's Creed--dare I say it--does it better! Minus fancy kiddy gadgets and the like. And it's also scarier in Assassin's Creed. I'd stick around and ogle at the backgrounds except there're usually guards on my tail because I am a pro at inadvertently attracting their attention. |D So, yeah.

I've been dabbling in Odin Sphere, too, because I still need the bad endings, but, oof, grinding. x_x; Speaking of Odin Sphere, have you SEEN THE NEW VANILLAWARE GAME? HOLY CRAP THOSE BOOBS. Just...just go to the character page and look at them. You'll know instantly who I'm talking about. >_>;

Your back! Your poor poor back. ;___; I-It hurts to look. ...If I were to play this game, I'd probably use her, too, since I usually find myself acting as support... XDD; I'll admit, it's nice to see a more western flair to the designs (feels Dungeons and Dragons-y--which I only dabbled in in high school so idk), but, goodness gracious me--OWWWW. At least she has dem thighs to help her stand.

But I worry Vanillaware's scrapping plot in favor of gameplay like they did with Muramasa. Their new games (Dragon's Crown and Grand Knights History) seem to gravitate towards having a cast of generic characters, and I'd imagine it'd be difficult to develop much story with them. At least I still have my Odin Sphere for fun Vanillaware plot. )': Maybe I'll try GrimGrimoire...? NOT THAT I'VE EVER PLAYED AN RTS BEFORE.

Moomin comics to make my last post seem less random. D: I quite like it so far!

Reading "Hark! A Vagrant" and this awesome bunch made me reread The Great Gatsby, which I've just finished. I love and hate that book all at once. On the one hand, it's beautifully written and expresses its characters and weaves in its metaphors so well, and on the other, the characters are absolute jerks and are so emotionally driven and frivolous it ticks me off...though I'm led to believe that's half the point. Beaton sums it up quite nicely! ...Nick and Gatsby should've gotten together instead or something. 8I;;;; Aaaaanyway.

Please, just tell meThat I'm still lovedI cannot hope to expectThat your feelings have remained the same...

Rainbow (rainbow)Will it be (Will it be)

Mamalagi kang maghari sa langit?

That you'll always reign in heaven?

Bahaghari (bahaghari)

Rainbow (rainbow)

Ikaw ba'y isang kathang isip lamang?

Are you just a figment of my imagination?

Ako ba'y nananaginip?

Am I just dreaming?

Ang pag-ibig ba'y isang bahaghari?

Is love just one rainbow?

Ituro mo sa akin ang tama o mali

Teach me what is right or wrong

Pagkat lahat ng ginagawa ko ay hindi sapat pa rin

Because everything I do is still not enough

Upang maibabalik ang dating pagtingin

To restore the former view

Wala na bang pag-asa pang muli

Is there no longer any hope of

Na ang puso'y mapaibig...

Making a heart love again...

Kailangan kong manalig

I need to have faith.

Kailangan kong maniwalang muli…

I need to believe again...

Bahaghari (bahaghari)

( Hey hey there's an English-subbed trailer for Metanoia! ) 8DDD

In my opinion, we should never ask anyone what they want to be when they grow up, until they’ve turned 37.
By Captain Mark of the Lorelei, or in non-reader terms, the creator of Sailor Twain.

I wouldn't be posting it if I didn't like it. Seriously, that would be awesome. The only time people tell us we're young is when they want to call us out on our naïveté. I'd like to think we're all entitled to being dreamers, and if not dreamers, wanderers. We become stagnant because other people make us think we're trapped. So we stop and try to find an answer to a puzzle that isn't really there.

Of course, the mind doesn't always agree with the heart, and, boy, it'd be great if they did! So yeah, that's a bit of heart up there, and my mind still wants to wage war with the poor thing. Also, I am just abusing my soapbox privileges lately, gosh!

Go read the webcomic (nsfw once mermaid hits). It's goooood. :O So much thought put into everything! I had to sing "Shenandoah" for choir, which is an American folk song about the ol' Mississippi river (further research actually says there a different story about it, but that's aside the point). Rivers are just romantic somehow, I dunno. H₂O is just funny like that.

Oh, oh, ooohhh, but THIS is also awesome:

Gears are just entrancing. I've always wanted to build something out of clockwork. That's what engineering's for I guess. :S And if it's not your cup of tea, the music's still worth it. XD
( More randomings! )

I have a test later today that I haven't properly studied for and a paper I wish I had the energy to mutilate more, so right now I'm trying to make myself sane again, and laughing is proving to be good medicine!

So have some awesome comics.
Maybe you've heard of them.

Beartato! Harrison! Reginald! It's amazing.

http://www.johnnywander.com/
The most amazing series of life comics I've read.

I also drew a little, but, ugh, I now remember that I only ever update DT when I'm uninspired. Needless to say, I'd rather not post 'em. :V COMICS ARE BETTER. I know there's a webcomic out there that's stuffed with nerdy physics and math jokes. Maybe I'll look it up if I do get into engineering.

So I'm writing this paper, yeah?

No, not really. I'm writing. And researching. For. Original. Crap. Instead.

I made accidental friends on Friday with r4inbowvomit. My friend made most of it happen. But they looked through my SKETCHBOOK. My closest friends don't even know what's in there! OTL; It was fun. So yeah, since they asked me to advertise for them, here:

MIKAWAYA!!! They give really generous portions (at least in Little Tokyo's plaza over here) for really good prices (compared to the bigger ice cream shops around) and it's really good. It got featured on Huell Howser's show once, too! They gave us free dango since they made us draw for them, which was really delicious, except I got a stomachache since I ate too many sweets. OTL; THEY KEPT FEEDING US FFFFF.

( Fujisaki Ryu fangirling ♥♥♥♥♥♥ )

And here's where I start to become a shameless plugger. Fujiryu fangirling aside, it has come to my attention that there's a studio who's WILLING to remake the Houshin Engi anime if and ONLY IF it gets 10,000 signatures. That old anime was...atrocious, to say the least, and also a good chunk of the reason why I dislike Studio Deen. XD;; Houshin Engi deserves so much more than that.

♥♥Right over here is a tutorial for how to sign it if you can't read Japanese. And right over here is the actual petition site.♥♥

March 31 is coming fast (and it'd be March 30th for us here on the North American continent), and, gosh, how absolutely shameless of me, but more signatures would be nice, just so it can reach 10,000 in time. Of course, I won't blame you if you don't. I know I don't like being asked to do these things and type in my e-mail address into a text box on some random site. I caved and signed though, since it's Houshin Engi. >_>;;

AND YOU KNOW WHAT. To serve as an excuse, as the founder (although I'm unfortunately inactive now, but the club's still chuggin'!) of the Houshin-Engi club on dA, I MAY AS WELL PROMOTE IT. S-s-s-oo...oo....theeerrre. I've been battling with myself whether or not to post this here for a long while now, but, you know what, I'm a fangirl and I am prone to being a brat at times, so HERE'S ONE OF THOSE TIMES. >:( ...oh, let me preserve my dignity at least a bit.
Houshin Engi's website right here if you want a glimpse at just. how. AWESOME it is. |DDD
