Oh my god I don't remember the last time I genuinely lost track of time for a whole day.

I woke up today at around 10:30. I laid in bed for what I thought was only about 20 minutes only to glance up at the clock and see it was 11:30. So I got up, grabbed lunch, and did some computer things. At around noon I started playing Assassin's Creed II again and then time just disappeared. @_@; I looked up at some point and it was 7PM so I made/ate dinner. Then after what seemed like half an hour, it was 10pm.

...and that was about 20 minutes ago I swear. HOW IS IT ONE AM ALREADY? D: This game is such a time sink for me omggg. I only noticed what time it was because suddenly I was really, really tired. Guess I've figured out why. XD;

I think I'll squeeze in another hour and then call it a night. ffffffff and I also have to do at least one of my assignments tomorrow. Do not want. :( I wish "too busy playing video games" was a valid excuse for not handing in work.

As far as the game goes... I am absolutely enamoured with it. By far the best game I've played in a long time. Maybe even a contender for my favourite game ever. unf just... I love it so much. I'm not even finished and I'm already dreading the wait for AC3.

Today was better than yesterday but... still rather hectic.

I went to bed early last night so I actually got up at a decent time this morning. (Woke up at 9:30, laid in bed until 10:15.) I got up and got dressed and as I was packing my bag for the day, I heard a knock on the door. It was the postwoman with a package for me. :> I has my Nosepass plush now, yay~ It's so cute.

Anyway, that distracted me a bit and I knew I wouldn't make the first bus so I had breakfast instead and made it for the second bus. Got to class, sat through it, and then OFF TO THE MALL to pick up my copy of Assassin's Creed II.

When I placed my preorder in early September, I forgot to specify it was for the limited edition version. When I changed it over at the end of the month, the guy told me I might not be able to get the LE version because they only get a certain number of them and many others had already reserved it. So I was really worried, but oh so relieved when I actually got it. :D The tin is huuuuge. And it injured me already. I was originally planning on picking up the PSP game as well, but this totalled just under $100 (would've been over without my $5 deposit) so uhhh YEAH I THINK THAT'S IT FOR GAMES FOR ME THIS YEAR. Augh. ;;'

I haven't even put the disc in my 360 yet. x_x; I got home, basically just had the chance to open the tin, look at everything inside, quickly flipt through the artbook, and then I had to sit down and do my CS assignment... which I only finished about 15 minutes before the deadline, ick.

And now I have to finish up my break and get to studying algebra because if I don't know my shit by tomorrow afternoon, I'm not gonna be able to spend time with my mom who's coming up for my doctor's appointment. :( ffffff why is this week so busy, lmao.

I hope I have time to play AC2 tomorrow night, lmao. ;_; Oh and thanks to everyone for their well wishes on my post yesterday. I've been popping Cold FX since I made it home from my test (which went okay!) so I think the cold is staying away, thank god. 8D

I really need some Assassin's Creed icons wtf. :(

Um, haven't made an entry in a while. Again. Oops.

Point form!

→ Thanksgiving was good. Mom was in Vegas (one of my cousins was getting married there) so I just chilled with my dad and my brother. Had massive cramps on Saturday and part of Sunday which sucked since I didn't get to see triforce89 but I got lots of sleep over the weekend, ate LOTS OF GOOD FOOD and it was basically just super awesome.

→ Brain!surgery cousin is okay!! ♥ Doctors were amazed but he's doing really well. He's home already because instead of taking weeks/months to relearn how to walk and whatnot, it took him a few days. He's retained all his memories and speech and everything and... he's actually planning to go back to school soon. O_O; Lmao I feel like such an underachiever now, haha. I'm just glad he's okay.

→ Mom came up last weekend. She brought me food, my boots, and some other stuff. We went out for lunch. Went to the mall and they added an entirely new section. I knew they were reno'ing but wow. EB Games moved to a bigger storefront and are now a Gamestop. I picked up Dead Space. Mom also bought me a pair of $50 slippers because they were so comfy and I needed a new one. ;~; omgg I love them so much. Also she bought my groceries. I love herrr. So glad I got to see her since I didn't at Thanksgiving. :'D Wish we'd had more time to talk with just the two of us though. I need to go home again sometime.

→ Started playing Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix last week. It's SO HARD omg. D: I'm playing on Proud Mode and I'm not used to the shitty camera, nor am I used to the controls. (Though thank god it's got the Japanese controls or I'd be dying even more than I am now!) It took me like 3 or 4 hours today just to beat the Cave of Wonders. x_x I'm at level 22 and I don't get guard until 33 because for some reason I decided to choose magic at the beginning of the game. Boo.

→ So close to complete in KH 358/2 Days. :'D I need about 10 more challenge sigils and I'll mark it completed on Backloggery. (I waited until level 100 with the Japanese version but I'm not going to let myself do that again.)

→ HAVE I MENTIONED I LIKE KINGDOM HEARTS? eeeeeee the trailer for BBS that came out this week. sdklfsd want so much!! I'm glad it has a release date (January 9 fuck yeah!) but it's gonna be a lot. x_x; $60ish in Japan and by the time I import, it'll probably be close to $100, ugh. I'll probably try to swing it as my Christmas present and then I can get the one-day shipping and not be paying as much as I would. Otherwise I'm gonna be spoiler-avoiding for half a month again and that sucked. DD: (Yeah, I'm importing. I'm impatient with KH games!)

→ Got accepted into the social networking preview on XBL. :D Yay twitter! I doubt I'll use it much on there though, since I don't have a keypad and I usually play with a computer near me anyway. (That and it's a standalone app on the dashboard?) Haven't had a chance to try out Facebook yet though I probably will over the weekend. I wish Last.fm was available in Canada. ;__;

→ Ordered Microsoft Windows 7 today! :DD I added the CD to my cart so it'll be shipped home sometime but I'll be downloading it and reformatting my netbook to install it this weekend, likely tomorrow. Just have to back everything up and make sure I have my wifi driver downloaded first.

→ Not going into much detail but it involves my FAVOURITE TMI HEALTH ISSUE that you can probably read back on if you're curious. But anyway, my doctor is a little worried, apparently, and is suggesting I get "complete bloodwork" done. But since I don't have an official requisition form, I have to go to a doctor here to get one so I have an appointment on Nov 2nd at the campus clinic. I have a midterm that day so while I can go in and update them on my health status and get the papers, I'll have to wait on the bloodwork. I'm not so good with it and I don't wanna do anything to compromise the test even if it'd be hours before. v_v

→ Final exam schedule is out! The first one I saw on it was my CS exam which is December 22nd. ffffffffff. That's the last day of the exam period. XD; Luckily, I checked the others and I'm pretty sure they go Dec 19 (Saturday), December 21 (Monday) and then the Tuesday one. Thank god! I emailed my family about it and mom said she'll drive me home after classes end around Dec 6th and then she'll drive me back out for my exams and then home again. D'aww. :')

Why do my point form entries always end up so long omg.

HI GUYS I need to get back into the groove of posting. I'm so lazy this year. :( My first page of posts goes back to July omg. Erica stop being so lame.

Then again, it's not like I've done anything worthwhile. XD; I did my assignments early last week and then on Tuesday, Matt asked if I wanted to go down to Blockbuster with him to check out the game selections and rent one (since he gets free rentals). So we did and I picked up, in a very stupid move, Lost Odyssey. :| First of all I thought it was two discs, not FOUR. XD; I basically got like 6 hours in and I have to give it back by Monday night but loool I've barely done anything. v_v; I played it the first day, and haven't really touched it since.

Instead I've been slaving away on 358/2 Days trying to get the Japanese version complete before the English release on Tuesday. I finally managed to get all the trial symbols (I was translating one wrong and it became SO easy once I started doing it right XD), I got all the gold crowns I need to unlock stuff, and I maxed out my level at 100. SO FABULOUS. \o/ But I've been neglecting schoolwork so I'm planning to do that today and then hopefully play Lost Odyssey as much as possible on Sunday and possibly Monday. I'm planning on buying it eventually anyway so at least I won't feel too bad leaving it unfinished. XD;

But yeah, I'm super proud of completing 358/2. Even if I'm just gonna be doing it all again in under a week anyway.

jesus erica get off your bed and go shower you have groceries to go buy.

*yaaaawn*

Man, I'm so tired today and I have no idea why. :(

I'd completely forgotten we had tickets but on Saturday night, we went downtown to Massey Hall for the British comedy Just for Laughs show. Honestly, I don't remember any names of the acts we saw aside from Jimmy Carr (though the first guy and the last guy were kinda cute :D). But they were all really good and... and... JOHN CLEESE HOSTED IT OMG. *_* He's... so very tall. We had horrible seats (though we moved over to some better empty ones ♥) but we could still tell he was towering over most everyone else. He was wearing a suit jacket and this hideous tie and no shirt. XD; Mom and Bryan don't believe my dad and I when we say he was shirtless though. Uhh... so that was fun. We came home and ordered a pizza and then we all crashed around 1 AM.

Did nothing on Sunday but relax. We did a few chores and my brother and I got through a few worlds of 358/2's mission mode. It was lots of fun and I kick ass because he's 45 levels higher than me and I still won almost every mission. xD; I've still got a ways to go but I'm inching closer! *_*; I'm starting to realize that I'll probably finish all the missions before I max out my level though. That's going to take forever.

Um. Not much else to say. Work still sucks. Getting up early still sucks. Having to go to bed around 10 PM still sucks. Playing through Prince of Persia with the Prince dressed as Altair and just pretending it's Altair delivering some of the more ridiculous lines is absolutely hilarious. I suck at the game and that's the only thing that's gonna keep me playing.[/prediction]

Oh, also. I'm getting kinda sick of Endless Eight. :(

Okay my... May resolution is to update more so here we go. 8|

As I mentioned yesterday, I didn't have work today so I got to sleep in. I was so tired yesterday that I was in bed with lights out by 10:30ish. I made the mistake of tossing Picross DS on my R4 before that so I got a little addicted but I'm pretty sure I was asleep around midnight. XD; I woke up at 8:30 then hit snooze over and over (while just resting and not sleeping, I'm pretty sure) until 10:30 and then whooo I got up.

Well, I sort of got up. <_< I sat up and turned my DS back on to play more Picross which is basically what I did all day. I fully intended to start up a JRPG too. Oooops. It's such an addicting game but it's a lot of fun. I feel like I'm playing a Sudoku/Minesweeper hybrid when I play it even though neither are all that close to the game at all, lmao.

Then the doorbell rang not too long ago and my brother called me down to tell me I had a package. (b'-')b I didn't know what it was but it turns out it was the Little Sister figurine I ordered a while back. Haha, I may have to find a different place for her because she looks so creepy on my shelf with everything else:



I really wish I had one of the Big Daddy figures now. ;~; But alas, I don't want one enough to drop the required money on finding one, or

			Situated: ...sitting on my bed again Currently: Kinda bored but oh well Listening to: Pokemon song remixes on YT haha Current Tags: gaming:360, gaming:nintendo

I just finished watching Pokémon on YTV. I love how I have this strange knack to turn it on and find a favourite Pokémon. Last year, I got home and watched it and it happened to be the Gardenia battle so I turned it on to a Cherubi. Then last time, I turned it on and it was a contest episode and the host was dressed up as a Cherrim. Then today, I turn it on and immediately a Cleffa. Thinking of eternalaegis, I continued watching and it turned out to be the episode with the Mansion from the games. So at "meal time" I was going "Oh man I hope Pichu's in this because you can find them in his garden in the game" aaaaand lo and behold... three Pichu. D'AWWWW they were so cute.

Um. Aside from that... not much else to report. Got my complete in Assassin's Creed yesterday. ♥ Then played Halo 3 with a bunch of PC people and my brother. Haha Ty had the best custom games. We played this weird "garbage disposal" one or something and we were just dying laughing the whole time. XD Then there was Duck Hunt which we all sucked at except my brother lmfao. And after I kicked him off to bed we played this... I don't even know. It was kind of like an arcade game where we had to shoot the... the things. Lol I need to learn my Halo vocab. 8/

And... and I've gotta stop now. My brother just brought home a friend with no advance warning. lmfao thank god I decided to get dressed today. :|;;

UM so I've barely updated in a month. Point form here we go!

→ Reading week was both productive and not at all productive. Studied a bit and then learnt I had to send my laptop back to HP (long story but I hate them to pieces now) and we didn't want to sooooo my parents bought me a netbook omg. ;o; It's an MSI Wind and I love it to pieces. So it provides me with my wifi and I'm keeping my laptop around for now and it just kinda acts as a static desktop haha.

→ Got a new phone too. It's so sexy. Samsung m*number number number more numbers* Slyde or something. idk it's pink and has a full qwerty keyboard and is my best friend. \o/ Whoo for being able to access twitter wherever. (I fell in love with it when I saw sasha_janre post a picture of her new one and had to go out and get my own since I've been planning to upgrade my phone for well over a year now. XD)

→ Wrote 8 billion midterms. Or like... 5 or something. I don't even know what number I'm approaching but it's AWFUL. My weeks are just a blur of math assignments and midterms. It's quite stressful. :( Stress is relieved by my 360. I honestly have little to say about all this since it's so boring.

→ I've been watching a lot of anime in my little breaks between class, or when I get home from class to unwind... Still watching Sailor Moon, fully caught up in Toradora and most of ToA, probably others. Watched Hetalia and liked it, much to my annoyance. ;o; Kinda avoiding fandom like whoa since from what I can tell on F!S it causes more wank than I'd care to pay attention to.

→ Health issues have been all over the place. Kinda tmi so I won't go into detail but I'm back to square -1. If you're interested past that, hit me up on MSN or something idk. I'm so frustrated with it though. Getting home for an appointment this week was a disaster too. twitter friends got a play-by-play but I basically missed my greyhound bus, missed it again at the other stop, had to city bus it to the bus terminal and then had to kill time for 1.5 hours to catch the next one to Toronto. Then when I was subwaying it to Yorkdale from downtown so my mom could pick me up, the subway got stuck for a good 15 minutes at a stop. Doors were open. I forgot my jacket. The next day was freezing too (and laced with bad/annoying news haha). ffff inaccurate weather reports.

→ Pi Day was today and that was awesome. Especially awesome when I looked up my stuff for my midterm on monday and realized it's actually NEXT Monday so I can slack off a bit this weekend thank god. It was a busy weekend because today was Pi Day (had to go buy a pie+ice cream and pick up my brother's birthday gift) and tomorrow is my brother's birthday and my family's coming up to see me. So I would've had... very little study time.

→ Got lots of Pokémon stuff lately + on the way. Shit still need to respong to an email regarding something. >< Aaah I've been so behind on email lately too haha.

→ My sink was plugged today so I got to trek over to Sobey's at like 10:30 to buy Draino or whatever. It was kind of a fun walk and it was still nice out from earlier (above zero!) so omggggggg. ♥

→ While I was home over the week, my parents said they want to take another family vacation. :] We're kind of all over the place as far as opinions go. Dad keeps pitching Mexico or Cuba or something (do. not. want. D:), mom just wants a hot vacation in the winter, and I... have no real preference so long as it's not something tropical or too... outdoorsy? Getting a tan doesn't interest me in the least. My brother and I have decided we kinda wanna push for Europe but we only have like 10 days to do it so idk. D:

→ Pokémon Platinum in one week! Aaah I almost wish my midterm was this Monday just so I could actually play Platinum somewhat. XD; Maybe I won't play it until after my midterm is done and save it for a reward hmmm.

→ ALSO I KEEP HAVING ZOMBIE DREAMS. WHAT THE HELL. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS?? Like I swear I've had about 10-15 different zombie apocalypse dreams in the last month. If there aren't literally zombies, the atmosphere is always me or someone just ahead of an outbreak and trying to find shelter, weapons, food, etc. It's driving me crazy. 8(

Lol I haven't updated in a while.

And I can't even say it's because nothing's been happening. (Though to be fair, the last week was uneventful as hell. XD;)

Just wanted to let those of 9inchpizza know I'm sorry for not getting on to play Halo tonight. ;_; I tried but I was running into the same errors as last night and I didn't want to interrupt the gaming we were already doing too much so I just ended up playing with Dean and my roommate. :[ Would've been fun to play with the rest of you too. I wish I knew what was up.

That said, why the hell am I not in bed. /sleeps forever
