I am 83% Video Game Addict. I got a problem, man. I may not find the answer to life in a video game. I need to turn off the console or computer, go outside and try some reality for a change.
Yeah so I bought a DS which I hardly play and have about 10-11 games I haven't beaten and a few of them still unopened. Hah.
I killed and ate a crocodile today. It turned into three rations of "Inidian gavial." Hehe. ^^ <3 MGS3: Snake Eater. <.<
Still stuck at four pages of my 2nd rewrite for The Silver Talons.... I think I should just call it quits. _(._.)_ I can't write anymore! But they won't leave me alone... >.< Ugh, I can't even sleep sometimes because of all these ideas just bouncing around in my head, yet something appears to get lost on the way from my brain to my fingers to the keyboard. =\
I've stopped playing FFXI hardcore... in fact I barely log on now. <.< Boring with two jobs @ 75 and whatnot. I was next in line for Kirin's osode but it just didn't seem worth it. End-game drama sucks; either you know what I'm talking about and you sympathize or you're thinking "End-game drama, what's that?" Suffice to say that people are really themselves in a video game, whether they think so or not. i.e. greedy, self-absorbed bastards!
I'm sleepy. I'll go lie down for maybe three hours before falling asleep, as per usual. -_-; |

I'm looking for the skins that were once on this site.
http://www.shiniki.envy.nu/
The zip files have mysteriously disappeared from my account, and since my hard drive failed in December I have no copies of my skins. ; ; I can look but I can't touch.
Send me an e-mail or leave a comment, or.... something...
P.S. I'm not dead. >.> |

I've weighed all the possibilities. I cannot pass. I am going to fail two classes.
It doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would, but I keep thinking "my parents, my parents..." I will be letting them down so much.
I did all I could. I've been scared and nervous this entire time, putting out bad work and hiding in my books and games. It's hit hard that I'm doing this FOR REAL and I don't like it.
I think I am going to transfer to UW of Tacoma at the end of this academic year. I need to be home, where I will feel accepted and welcome. Not that Katrina doesn't do a good job, but she is copely so wonderfully and I am doing... so poorly. I can't stand it. The pressure to be perfect is too much.
I've also figured out that I will fail both classes this quarter, and even if I get straight As next quarter I still am a candidate for academic probation. How hilarious is that, eh. Valdedictorian fails her first two classes.
I want to stop caring, but I keep thinking of the terrible disappointment I'll bring on my parents. And even if it's futile, I can't give up. I'll go down swinging, I guess.
I'll prolly get lower than a 1.00
Honestly.
I am so low right now. But I don't want to talk to anyone. No one can help me with this. No matter how many times I tell someone, they just say "You can do it." Can I, can I really? |

Suffered major hard drive crash. Dell sent new one. Means I lost all my novels, all my music, my homework, my projects, everything. HAL was formatted and given to my brother, so no chance of getting even some of it back to Dave.
I am.. not doing so good, but it could be worse.
Wish I had more time to keep in touch, but now it's a race not to fail. |

Hello, my name is Shiniki and I'm a Final Fantasy crackhead.
"Hello, Shiniki!"
I can't stop thinking about this game. Every time I go away from it, I wonder what my friends are up to. I've discovered that farming is fun, camping is even better, and zoning laws should be enforced.
...That is all. |
|
|
| Heh. I was wrong. |
[Oct. 5th, 2004|10:37 pm] |
I lost a bet. I told someone on FFXI I could finish my English Essay (that is due tomorrow) in ten minutes. =\ Took me half an hour.
On a side note, I still hate math. But I do so love it at the same time. I just don't really care when and where a runner sprinting 12 mph will run into a puddle and get his feet wet in a circular puddle increasing in radius by 3t[(7)^(1/2)]. >_ |
|
|
| <---- loser |
[Oct. 1st, 2004|12:36 pm] |
Yeah... I just now found out that I did more math problems than was assigned...
... >_> Think of all that time spent I could've been playing FFXI Online. |

I need to print something for homework, but I don't know which printer this computer (a lousy MAC) will go to, and I don't know how to use the Quick Card to pay for the paper. Out of all the money they're sucking from our wallets, they deign to even charge a few measly cents per page printed. Granted, this deters people from printing too much, but c'mon... I'm paying 16K to go here, hello?!
Crap my life sucks. >_< I got too much homework already. |

| *whimper* |
[Sep. 29th, 2004|09:37 pm] |
Classes start today. I feel sick and unhappy. I played FFXI for an hour this morning, leveling up my Black Mage. >_> It would go by a lot quicker if someone would plvl ("power level") me. At first I was only going to get to BLM 15, because your sub job can only always be half of your main job (mine is White Mage, WHM 20), but then I saw that BLM get Warp at L17, so I thought... that would be pretty fookin' awesome, considering that just to join my party in Valkrum from Sandy took me twenty minutes of running. >_< The game is huge and I haven't even left the region I started in!
Of course, now with classes starting... there won't be time to play. Thankfully they start at 10:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and at 12:30 Tuesday, Thursday. So I do get to sleep in a little.
I actually met up with some people I partied with on that game. Yeah, I know, it seems weird, and at first it was. They both live near here, actually. We went to Nick's ("Whydoyouhateme") championship flor hockey game last night (which his team won, 6-4), taking place here in Seattle anyway. Jordan ("Legendary") also came along. It was wonderful to finally meet them, and I was pleasantly surprised. They're very nice people.
Anyway, I'd better go. It's only 9:41, but I need to give myself some time to get lost. XD |

I'm tired and the book I need for English won't be here until after the class. >_> I hope I don't get in trouble...
Btw, I haven't eaten since 9 am Sunday morning! I think it's home sickness, but every time I think of food, I feel as if I'm going to vomit.... I've been drinking lots of water, tho. |

I don't know whether to cry or to scream. I just spent twenty hours, yes, TWENTY HOURS, downloading these damned updates for FFXI.
Then, I get an error message saying Rise of the Zilart is not installed properly. So I uninstall it, reinstall...
And now it's "updating" again. Christ, if I have to spend another twenty fucking hours downloading this shit again, I'm going to, well, I don't know yet. Presently I do feel the need to throw up again.
I don't know WHY I even try sometimes. What's the use in trying to get this going before I even get to college? By the time I actually get it working I'll have cable internet, and then this will all seem laughable. |
|
|
| *sigh* |
[Sep. 22nd, 2004|04:34 am] |
Oh, flinkie, how I wish that were true. I wish I was indeed playing FFXI right now. Unfortunately, I haven't even been able to create a character, and start the painful process of trying to get into the world of Alexander (where Doug and Cody play).
No no, I have spent the last two and a half hours watching the "update downloads" meter go from 0% to 11%...
I still have over FOUR THOUSAND FILES to download for the update.
As you may have guessed, it is rather unlikely that I will be able to even begin the character creation process until early early tomorrow morning... T___T
Right now it is at 4096 files out of 4659... 4096 being the number REMAINING to download...
*sob*
On another note, I realize that Dave does not have AIM, so I attempted to get on MSN Messenger. Success... except that TOO requires an update, and I'm not willing to compromise anything concerning this FFXI update. Coming here to post my utter misfortune was probably a mistake and caused it to slow. Oh well.
I suspect it will be at least midnight before I'm even in the 50%... |
|
|
| Convoluted. |
[Sep. 22nd, 2004|02:05 am] |
This whole installion process SUCKS. Download after download after update and checking and this and that...
The Navigator Screen was the pits, let me tell you, because it said "Games" right, but it had previews for Chains of Promatheia or whatever, and I wanted to just play FFXI. Finally, after twenty minutes of pulling my hair out and scouring the manual, I click on "Games" again... and up pops a menu of "FFXI Online" and "TetraMaster".
Apparently just having the menu highlighted isn't enough. Boy, for having graduated valedictorian, I'm pretty dumb. Anyway, it's now in the process of updating and downloading even MORE files... so after four hours of hooking up the internet and installing this blasted game, I'm still not cruisin' for a bruisin' as a Hume White Mage (my intentions to become).
I plan to become a White Mage/Ninja. Most people laugh and say that's a useless combo. No, no think about it. White Mages are very weak physically and whatnot, and can suffer heavy damage when hit. IF hit, of course. Ninjas have high evasion... plus they've got spells that can only be empowered by being a magic user. Plus, it would just be cool, I think.
White Mages are always in demand, but some people don't like to choose them as their starting class because they're so weak. Oh well. I say, I like a challenge. ^_^
Plus, it's always good to be able to heal people. People like not dying, it saves EXP and time. |

| Empowerment. |
[Sep. 21st, 2004|01:28 pm] |
It may be something as simple as successfully installing the software and hooking the laptop up to connect to the internet...
...but I feel empowered. I did not have any problems. It went smoothly. Right now, I am installing PlayOnline and typing this journal entry on Dave, my laptop, which as of today, is now Internet capable.
...I'm so happy... ^__^;; This means I can be on as often as I want at night, so I will be able to chat with friends without problems even up until I leave for college.
When I'm not playing FFXI, of course. Muahahahahahaha... |

Wow, am I an idiot. Here I thought I moved in the 25th and classes began the 27th, but they don't start 'til the 29th! Whoo! That's extra time to get settled into FFXI! XD Can't wait for that high speed internet... |

[Sep. 20th, 2004|01:43 pm] |
Oh, flinkie, I miss chatting with you too, but I get on at such irregular intervals I never see anyone else on, or if they're on, they're away. I try to get on whenever I remember, but most of the time I get sucked into my story (i.e., sitting for three hours writing a couple sentences while playing FreeCell without consciously realizing it).
Funny story about that. One time in Drafting someone asked me how I could play so fast. I told them I didn't actually look at the cards unless I had a tough decision to make; I played on "auto," which is basically color matching. Really, that's my secret. It's... difficult to explain. Sometimes, as I mentioned before, I'll be sitting at the laptop, thinking what to write, and I won't even realize I'm playing FreeCell until I try to type something. It's quite scary. ^_^;;
[And to answer your question, I'm off to the University of Washington. w00t!]
The following text will mostly comprise of a list of stuff I own and am deciding to bring or not bring with me to college. It's probably boring, unless you're like me and have a certain strong affection for lists. (That's the left-brainedness kicking in.)
As for video games, I've decided I'm going to bring the following:
PSOne
Final Fantasy I, II, V, VI, VII (the GH version, not the one in the original casing, that one is my BAYBEE), VIII, IX
Final Fantasy Tactics
Ehrgeiz
JetMoto
PS2
Silent Hill 2
Dark Cloud 1 and 2
MGS 2: Sons of Liberty
MGS 2: Substance (Hyun won't be coming back from Basic until December, anyway)
Legaia 2
Grandia 2
Grandia Xtreme (I never gave this back to Peter... I'll call him eventually...)
GameCube
MGS: Twin Snakes
Mario Party 4 (*shudder* but it's multiplayer...)
MarioKart DD
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Animal Crossing
Super Smash Bros. Melee (undisputed queen)
Super Mario Sunshine
Soul Calibur II
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
TLOZ: Four Swords Aventure
TLOZ: Ocarina of Time
TLOZ: Collector's Edition
FF: Crystal Chronicles
Metroid Prime
The only games I'm leaving behind are FFVII (original casing version), Evolution Worlds, Pikmin, Gauntlet, and Tales of Symphonia. Now, why Tales of Symphonia, being as that is a newly released game plus I never actually played it? Well, I let Doug borrow it, and I figure it'll probably take him until Christmas Break to beat it anyway... -_-;;
No, wait, thinking about it, I better bring the original copy of FFVII with me. Those lousy parents of mine I can't trust with my precious.
I'm also bringing one of my GameBoy Advance SPs and all my GBA games. Oh yeah, and Neverwinter Nights and its expansion packs.
As for books... I have to limit myself, I mean, REALLY limit myself. So as of right now, I'm only bringing all my Douglas Adams, all my Robert Heinlein, five or six Stephen King (really doesn't matter which ones, they're ALL good), Da Vinci Code, The Jungle... and I haven't peeked into the other boxes.
I neglected to unpack a LOT of stuff after we moved everything back in when we finished recarpeting the house. It's a nightmare opening boxes just to grab one or two things which I might bring with me.
Oh yes, FOR SURE, I am definitely bringing my Zelda toy and my Bender wind-up figure. I don't trust my parents not to sell some things or throw away some things while I'm gone, even though they know they will die if they do. So I'm going to be careful and bring some (though not all) of my precious toys with me. Including Totoro. Eee! *squeezes it* The first anime I ever saw... My Neighbor Totoro...
I also hope to sneak in my ninja knife, but common sense is telling me that if anyone sees it, I'm dead. So against all judgement and with all judgment, I'm leaving it at home. I pray my parents don't sell it. I will, however, bring my rice hat.
As for the anime and manga... oh God, what am I going to do? For sure, I'm bringing my Saiyuki DVDs, because I love Saiyuki. Then, I'm considering bringing the A-ko and Slayers tapes but that might be too bulky. So maybe just the Slayers, since I haven't finished watching them. I have the first eight, thanks to Space Cadet, but I only watched through... 5? I think? Can't quite remember. They're somewhere in the obscurity of my closet in a taped box. As I said, forgot to unpack... Well, I didn't forget, but I just got... lazy. ^_^;;
OK. For sure, all Saiyuki DVDs and manga, Naruto, Bleach, Fake... Not Gravitation. At first, I thought it was cute, I mean, you know... but then it started to get really, REALLY weird and creepy, so I'll just sell it and count my losses later. Heh, I wish I could bring GTO, but that's like 18 books... @_@; Well, maybe I'll find a way.
*whew* That's still barely half the crap I have. >_<; What about wallscrolls? Oh, DEFINITELY the two Cloud wallscrolls and Sephiroth and Naruto. Fushigi Yuugi, meh...
Now I have to go and actually pack that crap. x_x I don't leave 'til Saturday, but if I don't start now, it'll never get done. |
|
|
| w00t. |
[Sep. 19th, 2004|05:15 pm] |
Began writing again. It's as hard as I figured it would be, since I am so easily distracted by FreeCell. But I'm pleased with the direction of the story, although I went back and made major changes and totally reestablished Raveth's character.
My highest winning streak is still 180. T_T Not anymore, though. Not since I let Soo-Jin on my computer. Oh well. I'll get there again one day...
On a further note, Penguin Mints really should only be consumed in their proper amount. Which is, like, three a day. Me, I think I've consumed upwards of 6 or 7 times that amount. Most likely the reason why I can't sleep at night. I'm. So. CAFFEINATED.
What video games should I bring with me to college? Books? DVDs? Anime/manga? Decisions... |
