First, let me say I am officially sick... yesterday I wasn't feeling good- which would probably explain part of why I was down in the dumps/had a shorter fuse. Not saying that is what is causing the depression/pissiness alone, but it is a part of it. Not quite sure what I have, but the whole family has it- it passed from my father to my mother to my sister and now to me so we're all pretty much sick. Ugh... feel like crap. My nose is clogged, my throat burns, I was up from 4 AM - 8:40 AM when my alarm when off... you try sleeping when everytime you breath your throat feels like it's on fire!
On another note- I got a part of my soul back today!!!
Last Thursday, I had left my flash/jump drive in my Intro to Game Design class's computer. When I realized it was missing from around my neck, I was already back home. I raced back to school- hoping to God no one had taken it. Unfortunately, when I arrived- my flash drive was no where to be found. I looked all over the classroom for it and even went to the Lost + Found. No luck... devastated, I went back home. I sent out an email to the class, hoping that someone had found the drive and was holding on to it until the owner was found. Many of my 3d projects were on there- ones that I was working on for classes. Several of my drawings were on there as well as was 2 of my final and first time animations. I waited for an answer; my stomach turned inside out at the thought of not only losing my flash drive so stupidly, but that someone might be using my work for their own benefit-whether on DA or at school. Or that someone might have just deleted everything and claimed the drive as theirs (or sold it).
Here is my philosophy: When an artist begins working on something, they put their heart and soul into the piece. When they finish, they take back both their heart and soul; however, they leave a fragment of their soul behind with pride knowing that it is their work, their masterpiece, their pride. There were many fragments of my soul on the disk- thinking of someone misusing them hurt badly.
Then it happened. I received an email back from a good acquaintance I met in SCAD and have had several classes with! Moe! He sits next to me in the class and he said that he picked up my drive because he saw I left it behind. He told me he tried to catch me but I was already long gone- I was overjoyed! I called him up and talked with him about it to clarify. I then asked him if he liked chocolate; he did- and if he liked almonds; he was fine with em. Today I had the class again for this week and Moe returned my flash drive to me. In thanks, I gave him a half-pound bar of chocolate Hershey bar with almonds. Funny enough he never expected this kind of reward lol. His reaction was priceless, half pound bar of chocolate haha. So now I have reacquired my soul, and I will patch up the broken strands. mrgreen
In older news, I've been meaning to post this for awhile. The 20th of September (yes, I know it's Oct. 2), my game came in. The Growlanser: Heritage of War Limited Edition came in. And it was in flawless beauty- so perfect- so mint-like. I was extremely careful as I opened the box. I washed my hands- voiding any smudging oils. I opened up the top very slowly and gently to make sure it didn't bend in half- and slid out the contents. Ohhh the contents. Buttons, art book, all little collectibles--- and the game itself. The beautiful game.
Behold! (I jus took this pic lol it's sitting in my lap)
Isn't it beautiful? *sniffles* I absolutely love this game! This series has been one of the best series I've ever played! At first, looking at the female characters on the site, I had already decided which girls I was gonna try and hookup with. The women were: Melvina, Sherris, and Elessa. This has now greatly changed since I've been playing the game.
First of all, I can't have a relationship ending-or an ending at all- with Elessa.
Secondly, Sherris is a b***h! xd For a good portion of the game, she has hated me even though she only met me once when I saved all these workers from her hometown from a Screaper attack. I don't think I'm even halfway through yet, though probably close. I've FINALLY gotten her status from hated (She usedta say "Just hearing his name makes me angry" wink to on good terms. Unfortunately, the good terms make me hate her even MORE! Now I'm known as "He's one of Krious' men". Krious is the son of the commander whose 'corporation' I work for. Apparently he and Sherris have been childhood friends. But I am NOT going to be known as 'that guy' or 'oh yea he knows him' or things like it. Grrr- curse her. I do a great deal of good in this game and treat others with respect, honesty, and quick/smart thinking.
No- my lineup has now changed to start off with Fanille. When I first met her- oh I jus couldn help it. She was the sheltered, shy female scientist that you WANTED to protect 4laugh . The more I'm with her, the more I just really, really, REALLY like her. Then it goes to Melvina who I still find quite attractive- AND who is voiced by the english dub vocalist of Motoko from Ghost in the Shell (Funny too how much alike they both are. Yknow... red eyes, purple hair, brooding or cold sounding character yet has a soft heart that they try not to show), and the little faerie known as Korin who has QUITE the mouth on her (She actually uses the word 'p***k' when asking about where her rival's master is, and yes you DO hear this in the vocals) who is trying to become the grand-champion of the Faerie Contest.
What else- what else-
My absence until recently has been do to several things.
1. I'm hurting
2. I was punishing a few people
3. i was studying my a** off for the test in that horrible class- Survey of Western Art (I wasn't gonna bungle it up like the Quiz- rrr). Still waitin to see how I did.
Um, let's see...
Ah- I recently have gotten into the Beta of the game Hellgate: London. It's my first Beta so I'm excited. Jus waitin for the all-clear from the creator before I can dive in. The game comes out Oct. 30th, jus in time for Halloween razz Since I can't talk any further about the game until the NDA is lifted, I'll say what everyone else says: I'm in Beta xd
Anything else... anything else... nope; think I'm done. I'm gonna go take it easy- maybe passout for abit... you know I'm sick when I can actually sleep during the day (normally my body refuses no matter what to fall asleep until it is time for bed).
Talk to ya'll later~ Buh bai! domokun
