Sweet Dreams

Yeah, I know there are probably a couple of Valentine's haters on my FL, but since this is my first V-Day with a boyfriend, I hope you will forgive me as I bask in the wonderfulness (is that even a word?) that is, what samuraiter likes to call, Love Day. ^_^ 

Yes, I'm having a good V-Day. My parents gave me two boxes of chocolate, a pair of onyx earrings, a pearl choker/earring set, and a pretty new shade of lipstick. As for my sweetie's gift, I won't have to buy to buy any new video games for my GBA for a while because he sent me four! Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, and Sigma Star. Too bad I was thinking of giving up video games for Lent this year, but I could probably finish at least one game before Ash Wednesday next week if I put my mind to it. Now to decide which one to choose...

Well, anyway, time to go write some more ficlets for sm_monthly

I've got to start writing more in this thing, especially since I have my adorable Shigure icons to show off.

Anyway, what's been going on since the last update... Nothing much, to be honest. I managed to beat FFIV's bonus dungeon using all the characters, and now I've started on the Fire Emblem game Samuraiter sent me. ^_^ It's really lucky that at the moment, I only own two games, and I've already beaten one to death. If I had more than that, I'm positive I would get nothing done.

I did, somehow, manage to finally finish Ch. 5 of ATR, though, and Ch. 6 is about as good as done. Actually, I'm thinking I might as well just go ahead and combine Ch. 6 and Ch. 7 (which is pretty much finished as well) into one big chapter, since it's starting to become obvious that I'm falling under the SOF effect of chapters gradually getting longer and longer as the story goes on. There's really no plot reason for them to be separated, since I only separated them in the first place because I was trying to keep the chapters short, and, as a plus, there would only be one Yui-less chapter instead of two before her next apperance in Ch. 8 (which is also finished, for the most part).

In any case, I'm happy that I'm finished with the problem chapters. ^_^ Hopefully, things will go much more smoothly from now on. *crosses fingers*

And now...quizzes!

( Quiz Time )

Don't you just hate it when you're in the middle of playing a game and the power goes out? Grr. I was thisclose to beating this HORRIBLE monster (Wicked Mask) for the third time in a row and moving onto the next level when my GBA suddenly ran out of steam. I've really got to learn to pay more attention to the power indicator. This is the second time I've let it die on me in the middle of a game, although the first time wasn't at such a critical point. I don't want to do that section again!

But at least I'm starting to get fairly good at beating it.

As you can probably guess, my life has been taken over by Final Fantasy IV Advance. *laughs* I've been playing it practically non-stop since Saturday, which, unfortunately, means that little time was spent on writing this week. I am just about done with Ch. 5 though, so Starsea and Samuraiter should expect it sometime next week. And this time, I really mean it. (BTW, Xing, you might want to get back to me on Ch. 3 and 4 soon so you don't get too far behind. I suspect the next few chapters will be coming out fairly quickly since I'm finally over the difficult part of the story.)

I also finished with all the Wedding Peach discs available from Netflix. I'm so annoyed that they don't have the last one and the OAV. I want to see how it ends! *sigh* I guess I'lll have to buy the boxsets, but that's no big deal since I want it anyway. The show is so cute!

And now, quizzes!
