    So, this Guild Wars 2 thing

    By Noxryn,

    I spent like two hours playing with my sylvari's face *not to even factor in the body type and junk*
     
    my time management is brilliant~
     
    but he look so fab, all red and pink and green (and glow in the dark, but he glows purple so he's not a nuclear sylvari :,D) *and he teleports with clouds of butterflies in his wake which is just amazing and lovely*
     
    *ended up buying the game because Spink is easily persuaded to do so by sales people, but ssshhhh*
     
    *also playing Pokemon*
     
    *needs to remember that he needs to redo his priority list*
     
     
     
    *also why can't I turn off smilies in my blog

    Oh Disney

    By Noxryn,

    I'm just sitting here listening to various Disney songs from like, all the movies.
     
    And I so want to watch the Little Mermaid right now... that is like... one of the most nostalgic movies for me~ *even though Ursula made me cry when I was like five :,D*
     
    Plus, I mean
     
    Prince Eric.

    Oh, Luverly Mail~

    By Noxryn,

    Today was a full mail day for me, quite exciting!
     
    - Got my jacket (and it FITS! So happy about that! -- Pics may come, I need to take some I feel okay with. Right now it's limited to this one, but that's not that great of an image)
    - Got my passport (For my Senior year graduation, we may go to Italy... may, depends on how things are financially)
    - Got my debit card (Old one expired and the bank was derping about sending out my new one, so I went there, ate their free cookies and sorted it all out)
    - Got tons of college information... just advertisements, but I figured to browse through them this time rather than never open them.
     
    So, yay! Mail and such!

    Muse

    By Noxryn,

    Comes with the year, ends with the year. By year, of course, I refer to school year.
     
    That and reading novels I distinctly and thoroughly enjoy, instead of silly stories serving only to appease my need for pointless amusement. (Which I've been reading far more of lately). Oh and music. Lots and lots of music.
     
    *goes back to brainstorming his fantasy/steampunk/romance/adventure/maybetragedy story*

    The After-Fair

    By Noxryn,

    Okay, this isn't a full detailed entry full of all my pictures. Oh no, this is but a bored "I did some stuff" with some pictures taken after the fact. Not big images either, so yeah. Actually I only have one more, it's of the stuff I bought (okay some of it, not all of it)
     



     
    Just missing the Mines of Moria set and the Race for the Tesseract set (if that's what it's called...). Anyways, can't see it but Loki has a giant buster sword hidden behind lil' Takua, and the pink haired person is rocking out on a giant war axe. Funtimes.
     
    I want more elves.
     
    Because. Elves.
  13. Noxryn
    I'm pretty excited for it, even though I start school (Senior year, woo) not that long after the event wraps up. It's been quite a while since I traveled alone, so of course I'm worrying a tad over all the airplane stuff to go through (but I worry about ordering food from a restaurant, so yeah). But anyway, it'll be fun!
     
    I may bring a little MOC, still undecided about that. (It'll be something createable within 15mins, so yeah :x).
     
    I should probably find my backpack... This year I'll remember to bring my camera's battery so I'm not stuck sapping away my phone's battery through taking somewhat-okay pictures of things.

    I Did Stuff

    By Noxryn,

    Spring Break juuuust ended for me and I feel like writing about it because I love you all so much <3
     
    Over last week I was in Los Angeles, went on the Warner Bros Studios Tour (saw all the batmobiles all lined up, they were making a documentary for The Dark Knight Rises) and walked on some of the sets used in a few shows (like Gilmore Girls, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, True Blood, etc...), went into the Hollywood Museum (weren't allowed to take pics -- but they have a whole -floor- dedicated to Harry Potter). At their gift store I bought Snape's wand, 'cuz it looked fancy.
     
    Also went on a tour of the Chinese Theater, walked around in Madame Tussouds (no clue if I spelt that right) Wax Museum, went whale watching (saw four or five finback whales and tons of dolphins), and had a generally good time.
     
    Also got back into the MMO Aion (it's going free to play in a week~), so I've been doing that along with schoolwork (just April and May and Summer Break <33). I've got a 31 Chanter and I've met some awesome people through the game, either I'm lucky or the majority of players in that game (or on my server) are just nice people <3

    I feel kinda meh about it. While I enjoy the games, having spent far too much time in the first one, I just don't feel as hyped up for this game for some reason.
     
    While Mass Effect was definitely fun to play, I never really got into the lore so much. The characters were kinda meh, save Tali and Garrus (and even then, they weren't spectacular... well maybe Garrus, but that's 'cuz I've had a crush on Garrus since I first played the game </3). Shepherd, well the ones I always ran, were always kind bleh. Paragon one was too goody, Renegade one was too hate-able and the healthy mixture of both led to a boring character -- I don't know, maybe I just feel limited in terms of options for how to expound upon the Shepherd I wanted to make? Like, there's tons of things to do in the game, but most of the stuff boiled down to "Here's your Paragon option, neutral option and renegade option" and it made a boring character and character progression, in my honest opinion.
     
    Everyone else I never got into. Wrex was okay, but he was only useful in a combat sense, so I shot him when he got annoying in the cutscenes (I'm such a wonderful person </3). Ashley and Kaidan/en both bugged me to no end, I nuked Ashley (as she was more annoying in my opinion) and Kaidan/en was just so dull. Whining about headaches (L2 implants, yadda yadda) and dying in the fighting -- nothing else, really. Plus, he just looks like the "generic soldier male" that only the default Shepherd could put to shame. (Plus, I really despise the customization options... there's not enough for what I wanted to pull off. Now, I do love Aion's customization options -- body build, facial build, age, height, skin colors that varied a bit more, hairstyles that were actually cool looking and not so bleh etc...).
     
    So, from that I just found the characters lacking. I do really like Garrus though, but I don't understand why outside of his voice and that he has a bit of a... anti-heroish feel to him. Plus, he took a missile to the face and can still laugh about it <3
     
    Then there's the plot. In my opinion it's kinda meh. Giant evil robots out to destroy everything (sounds kinda familiar, no?), there's no interesting twists and turns (not even Cerberus was that interesting in terms of plot) and it just feels like every other generic apocalypse in the future type of story. It'd have been redeemable if the characters were better, or there was more development with character relations (not necessarily the relationships, but that'd have been nice too... I was so heartbroken when my [male] Shepherd couldn't have a relationship [or much of] with Garrus in ME and ME2... don't know what the picture is in ME3, I've heard mixed things).
     
    Really, I got more enjoyment out of the mercenary plots (in a "wow, I could really build off this if I wanted to write fanfiction"). than the actual story.
     
    I do love how open the world is though, it gives an ample canvas for writing (if I wanted to do fanfiction/practice, or play a TBRPG), but that's about it.
     
     
    The gameplay is fun, though.

    I Can't Draw Hands

    By Noxryn,

    But there are these magical, wonderful things and they are called mittens. <3
     

     
    I'm still terrible at drawing (although the hands look bigger in the real-life version... they look like they shrunk when I put it onto my comp o.O but maybe that's just a testament to my terrible iPhone picture-taking skills)
     
    EDIT: Some edits were done, I like this version more~

    Kingdom Hearts I

    By Noxryn,

    All that is left is to beat Sephiroth and Kurt Zisa~
     
    Finished absolutely everything else, except I missed a red trinity because I broke it :<
     
    (oh and the ultima weapon thingamajig)
     
    And I have 30ish hours logged into it.

    Of 14 Episodes

    By Noxryn,

    After watching 14 episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (in a -row-), I seem to have lost the ability to write one of my stories (the one I'm currently putting most of my time into) without envisioning the characters in a ponified form.
     
    But, regardless of how dysfunctional my visual mind is behaving, I still ought to dig up my notebook where I wrote how I intended to introduce the Legion debacle into the city. So, off to do that~

    Look What I Bought

    By Noxryn,

    After trading in a bunch of old things to Gamestop, I ended up with... $300 some in store credit. So, I bought myself a 3DS (which came with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [nostalgia trip right there], and I also got Mario Kart 7 with it). Some games I'll likely pick up, eventually, for this system are as follows;
     
    - Super Mario 3D Land
    - Starfox 64 3D
    - Tales of the Abyss 3DS
    - Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance
    - Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked
    - BlazBlue Continuum Shift II
    - Animal Crossing
    - Kid Icarus: Uprising
     
    I still have $60 worth of store credit with Gamestop, and I have a thing that lets me get 10% off any game (which is also very nice).
     
    Friend Code is: 2320-6855-5119 -- feel free to add me, though message me if you do so I know it's not just a random hooligan from the depths of online games.

    I've realized that I have three or so iTunes giftcards in my possession, none of which I have used. I shall use these to, likely, purchase Break From This World by Globus, Imaginaerum by Nightwish, and My Winter Storm by Tarja Turunen. There's, of course, other albums I would love to purchase, but these three have songs that inspire me for working on my numerous writing projects -- nearly every single song, to be honest.
     
    I do wish that iTunes (USA) carried a wider variety of Japanese music (they have a teeny tiny bit, but none of what I'm looking for), as there are many J-Pop/Rock songs I really get into and would love to have on my music device. (Normally I'd not complain, but these particular songs are on albums not available in the US -- at least where I've checked -- and buying them off a foreign site costs a lot. [Like, $30 - $40]).
     
    But I am liking where this new story of mine is going, and as for a first draft, I haven't come to hate it yet. (Of course, there will be proofreading and revisions -- primarily in spots where I forgot the word I wanted to use, so instead used a synonym). But the main characters are foils of each other, which makes their discussions a least a tad interesting (and not so monotonous), and it does use symbolism and metaphors to communicate the meaning of the story. Now, the meaning of it -- in full explanation -- would venture onto things that BZPower does not like to speak of (re: Politics and Religion) for very good reasons. However, the meaning behind the whole story is just this;
     
    I really dislike the "Us" and "Them" mentality. In fact, I've come to absolutely detest it. So, the story centers on that mentality (and how it's used, and what it can do to people) as to boil down to the following: there is no "Us" and "Them," there is only "Us," even if only because we're all human. We all have our differences, our deviances from each other, but that is not grounds to rip into other people or say that they aren't welcome to any treatment of respect (as a human being), or any treatment of simple kindness and genorousity, and that as we're all the same species, that we could -- at the very least -- extend tolerance towards one another (again, despite our differences). It's a bit of an ideological message, sure, but of all the times I've seen people maligned for merely being different has made me wish to write something on the subject, and this story is that rant. (In other words, it's a story largely based around love and hate, and how love is the better of the two -- at least, in this writer's opinion).
