So I was out and about the other day and I just so happened to wander across a used cpoy of Okami for Wii, priced at fifteen dollars. I'd heard splendid things about this game, so I bought it on the spot. Then I took it home and played it (with very high expectations). So far, it's pretty good. It's very obviously a Japanese game, and not just because of the art style, but also because of the storytelling style, which is heavy on the exposition and a trifle long-winded. But the story itself
Alright ladies and gents, it's time for everyone's favourite poll! Differing from previous polls, in which any name could be submitted, this time there was one criterion: the names submitted must contain the name 'Eyru' in them somewhere. Ideally, the winning name will be unique, funny, and show the most creative use of the simple theme. Without further ado, here are the twelve entries you can vote for! Hey run! - 4 Fullmetal Eyrchamist - 1 Eyru Salad - 3 Eyruined - 1 Eyru - 0 EYRU BEAM LA
The downtime cut the suggestion period a wee bit short, so I'll allow another day for suggestions before we get to voting. :3 Again, any name goes, save for one stipulation: all names must contain the name 'Eyru' in them somewhere. Go for it guys! We'll vote tomorrow.
Over the downtime, my graduating class held its valedictorian elections. Basic picture: you fill out an application, which requires the signatures of other gradutating students, your grade point average and English marks. Then you write an essay outlining what your speech would entail were you elected. Then -the scary part- you have to deliver the essay as a speech to the entire graduating class. After all the speeches have been given, the class votes on a male and female valedictorian. And...
So it's actually been just over 45 days since my last name change. Wow. That went really fast. I felt like I had another month to go. Don't know why, but I probably forgot at some point that I only have 45 days between name changes and not 90. Oops. Anyway, that means I'm accepting name suggestions again! However, for the first time, I am posting criteria for the name! ...well, actually criterion, because there's only one: the name you submit must have 'Eyru' in it. Aside from that, it's
...someone addresses you and you answer only it turns out they were actually addressing someone else not you and so now you just stand there awkwardly. What other awkward moments have you experienced? LET'S BUILD AN AWKWARD LIST TOGETHER SO WE CAN FEEL SOME CAMARADERIE IN LIFE'S AWKWARDNESS. and also so i feel less awkward ._.
after guiding me to my new understanding of the universe, the farm animal guided me to another dream. moving from dream to dream was an amazing but scary experience, because I needed to jump from my dream into the vast abyss of the universe, and call a dream to me. fortunately, I had the farm animal with me, and he was my guide. we stood at the edge of my dream, and looked down. I could see billions of stars and galaxies swirling in an endless pool of darkness. are you ready? asked the farm
this farm animal looked at me with soft, sad brown eyes, eyes that had seen countless ages of the world pass before them. he regarded me with these eyes, and I felt as though my soul was bared before their intense gaze. at last the farm animal spoke to me, not out loud, but telepathically, and his voice echoed in my mind, ringing with ancient wisdom and regal power. how many licks to get to the centre of a tootsie roll pop? I gasped; such a question had never entered my mind, and now it st
Again, I'm trying to find a project I can throw myself into. Should I... Write an epic (on what?) Co-write an epic (with whom?) Write a series of short stories (on what?) Write a comedy (why?) Write a blog serial (what is this i don't even) Start drawing again (holy bieber seriously?) Any suggestions/questions/comments/snide remarks?
Yes, I have returned. Let the celebrations commence! So, I'm back from Mexico, and though I had a brilliant time, it feels great to be back home. Spring break is almost over, and I have a feeling I'm going to spend these last few days catching up on life, both online and off. At the head of the line is SS#9: my story Redemption won third place! If that's not a good enough reason to go check it out, I don't know what is, so go read it! But seriously, it's a huge honour to have won, especia
...and loved it. Film adaptations that match the book are exceedingly rare, and those that surpass the book are rarer still. This film doesn't quite reach that mark, but it was a surprisingly accurate and enjoyable adaptation of an excellent book. One factor in its success, I believe, was that nothing major was left out of the film. Most adaptations end up cutting out huge swaths of the book because there's simply too much detail, but The Hunger Games isn't one of those. It was incredibly fa
I used to have tons of ideas for stories; epics, shorts, comedies, the works, it's just that I lacked the motivation to write them. Now I find myself in the mood for writing, but there's nothing I'm particularly interested in writing about. Help?
As a rule, I don't watch many horror movies. Actually, I don't watch any. My parents don't like them, and I've never really had an opportunity. That changed last night, with The Mist. I have never been so terrified in my life. My friends and I were joking around during the movie, trying to lighten the mood, but every few minutes one of us would scream as some alien creature popped up and scared the living daylights out of us. Yes, it was a horror movie: I was horrified. And once the movie
My SSC9 entry is up! Redemption It would really mean a lot to me if it got some views, and reviews would make me weep joyful tears. I'll also give you cookies.

I was just throwing around BZPRPG ideas when I stumbled upon what may possibly be my greatest idea yet. Which isn't hard, cause this is really only my second year. (side note: many people seem to think I'm an all-powerful veteran with limitless knowledge and vast experience. Seriously guys. If I were to attend Hogwarts, this would be the year my wand broke and made me start spewing slugs) Anyway, I'm going to start an organization dedicated to the eradication of all "impure" elements on Mata
