JOURNAL ENTRY!!!

I'm living off 2 computers at the moment. This one could crash at any moment, and the other stays on but the letters don't really work on the keyboard. In particular the '0' and 'o'. Doh. And I would be using that one, but for some reason it won't turn on. I guess I'll try again later, but this one on my lap is good enough. I managed to get today off because I noticed I was doing a shift extra this week than I should be doing. I normally do 4 shifts each week. Sometimes I do 3 shifts one week and 5 the next, but that's still 8 shifts over 2 weeks. So I now have my first 2 days off in a row in a long time. Mwahaha. It was my sister =ghostlove's birthday yesterday and I did ring her up, but she was busy. And I said I would ring her up again, but I got a headache and went to bed.

Little did I know how severe that headache would be. I actually got an earache with it as well, and it was throbbing all over! Worst. Headache. EVER. It didn't help that my wisdom teeth are coming through and they were hurting as well- or maybe that was the cause? Hmm. But my whole head, from top to bottom, was aching and stabbing in pain. It woke me up first at 2am, and then after an hour of tossing and turning, I managed to go to sleep. It was so bad I was wishing I could knock myself out or something. And I'm a wuss, so I was telling myself I was going to die. XD!

Albel: "You're such a girl."

But thankfully I'm feeling better today. What am I going to do? Play on Tales of Symphonia 2 of course. As long as I can, that is. Oh-! And I got the first view of my Pucca My Little Pony, and she looks pretty good so far. The body is pink instead of red, but I think it will look better that way. I don't think it would have worked in red, seeing as most of the symbols are red and they wouldn't have stood out so much. I never was good at colour blending, so I'll leave it to the creator.

Anyway, better round this up!
Take care!
Samantha/ Noxie.

JOURNAL ENTRY!!!

Before I talk about TOS2, I just wanted to thank Jes =Akira-Yamato for her letter and the adorable Hedgehog she sent me! I've put him on my Mum's shelf, because she has a small collection of Hedgehogs (my Mother's name is Helen, so it's customary to call her Helen the Hedgehog). Why am I spelling Hedgehog with a capital 'h'? Oh well, I'll leave it like that! I think your handwriting is exceptionally tidy! Each letter is identical, it's brilliant. I ran up to my Mum holding it up to her and said: "look how neat Jesline's handwriting is! It's like Dad's!"
He has stencil neat handwriting.
And the little chibi drawings were awesome. I shall write my reply after I finish TOS2 up tonight. THANK YOU!

And on that note...

This afternoon, I finally got out and started playing Tales of Symphonia 2. I was happy when the game asked me to place my Gamecube Memory Card into the Wii to load my 'cleared save data' of the first game. And I got some special goodies! It's a nice bonus to have at the beginning of a daunting Tales game (because you know they're going to be huge). Unfortunately, my first impression was that it was pretty slow, and the main character was annoyingly weak, but thankfully everything picked up. There's a few pros and cons, but the story is really getting interesting now, and I love how I keep running into old characters (though I've only had Colette in my party so far, I'm sure Zelos will join me soon). I'm not sure I like having to have 4 monsters in my party and collecting them/ training them. It seems too much like Digimon for me. _{I say Digimon so pokemon fans won't instantly get annoyed.}

The main character seems to have a 'yami-yugi' thing going on (you know, like in YuGiOh?). In which he's just plain old Yugi when walking around (at the moment that's timid and fearful) and then when he fights he goes into 'yami-yugi' mode, posessed with a bold personality and strength. I've also run into the Super Chef about 3 times and have some cool recipes, but the let-down in my opinion is that you can't make yourself a sandwich after battles or on the field anymore. Cooking seems to be for leveling up monster abilities and trust. *SIGH*

But the fact you know RIGHT from the beginning, is that a certain character you love is going around killing and "purging" towns from anti-church rebels. Which all sounds a bit familiar, but I went with it. So not only am I in a state of double-mind, where half of me is defending the character I love and the other is questioning how they could do such things... but I also have to try and keep an open mind. The main character doesn't realise that he's doing exactly the same thing with someone he met and 'made friends' with at the beginning of the story. But he still hates 'xxx'.

Hoo boy... someone stop me or I'm going to write another fanfiction.
I already wrote one for the movie 'Sherlock Holmes' within about 3 hours of watching it at the cinema.

Anyway-! TOS2's battle system is just like the original, with some cool special attacks. And the music is half the same, and half different. Obviously all of the areas are the same, but a few will naturally have changed. So far I've only seen the soft-cel graphics, and no cut-scenes, but I'm only a little way into the game. Even if there is none, I'll enjoy it. I'm already finding myself in emotional difficulty being pulled one way and the other due to the characters and sob-stories, so I need to prepare myself. Gut-wrenching is what the Tales Series does best.

Have a great week and take care.

JOURNAL ENTRY!!!

In am typing this up on Mum's old computer (Dad bought her a laptop for x-mas). The laptop I usually use has broken. Poor thing. But that's the only bad piece of news to report. Today has been a very good day!

Merry Christmas to ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

Yesterday evening I watched the film "Blades of Fury" with Fredrik/=wazabees. It is an absolutely hilarious movie, and I almost peed my pants laughing. It finished at half past 12, and I tried to get to sleep before Mum put a stocking on my bedroom door, but I heard her doing it. Everyone went out yesterday because we realised Mum had made everyone stockings and she wouldn't have one. So we put together a stocking for her. I got a lot of nice things in my stocking. Plenty of chocolate. I got out Carn and Albel's stockings that morning after opening mine and helped them open it. Basically they had two boxes of feline treats and a nice littele ball to put them in.

Today has been really great. We were all up pretty early, not as early as we would have if Orion was here, but he is with his Dad. I got everyone some presents which I think went down quite well. Mum loved her chocolate fountain and Anji/=ghostlove really liked the crochet book. She said she'd make me one for my birthday, and I asked for the Amazon Woman crochet. What I like about the book is that it shows you how to crochet and it gives pictures of the completed versions, so it's nice just to look though for someone with a crafting skill of zero.

Carn and Albel got a pet house each, white and black. And each of them received a cat-nip pillow, as big as their heads, which they hug and bite/beat up. Albel's has a boxer/troblemaker cat on it and Carn's has an assortment of cute cats on it. When I got those two, I thought 'this is perfect, how did they know what Carn and Albel were like?' XD!

Mum and Dad set out the dining room table really nicely with a red table cloth and santa placemats and coasters. And dinner was lovely! We pulled crackers, took photos and then sat down to watch the 'Queen's Speech' and 'The Incredibles' (including the Jack-Jack Attack' short on afterwards). Now I'm waiting for Doctor Who to come on. It's the last one with David Tennant in it. So I shall savour every moment. I just hope the new Dr lives up to my expectations.

Presents I received for christmas:

Anji and Fred (sister and her partner) got me a Pucca accessories set for my DS Lite. It's really cute.
Orion (nephew) got me a set of 5 Hello Kitty figures.
My Grandad Capes and family sent me a £15 cheque.
My Nana and Grandad Norman sent me £20 cash.
Auntie Sue and family got me a nice candle on a mount.

Mum and Dad got me:
Star Trek the movie 2009 DVD.
Tales of Symphonia 2.
Merlin series 2 part 1.
Merlin Guide.
Star Trek DS9 Series 2.
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box.
Pyjamas (very nice rudolph ones).

So all in all, a very, very, very nice day! And *Rursus just made it even better by telling me that in the Last Hope International version (SO4) Crowe, Giott AND LADY ELEYNA will be playable characters! I love Crowe and Giott a lot, but I am s looking forwward to playing as Lady Eleyna. It was the icing on top of the cake!!!

Have a great Christmas and New Year everyone!
Samantha/ Noxie.

JOURNAL ENTRY!!!

The third and, I'm guessing by the word 'fin' at the end, final volume of the Star Ocean Second Evolution manga arrived today, and it is as gorgeous as the other volumes. I know you can buy volumes 1 + 2 on ebay, but I got volume 3 from this website. There are a few Star Ocean anthologies on the same site, which might entice you to buy them all at their current cheap price. They're not going anywhere, so it's safe to say you can save up some money and buy them later. Regardless, I am really pleased with these newer versions of the manga. They're gorgeous. I like Mayumi Azuma's version, but this new one is really cute. They're by Morohe Yoshida, and there's a color page on the inside, and when the dust jacket with the color front and back covers is removed, there's a couple of comic strips on the back and an illustration on the front. Really nice.

What else arrived today but my Pucca alarm clock. The alarm is a really loud and intrusive song, so I'll just have to use it as a clock. I have a boring cheap alarm clock, but the alarm works for me and it fits handily on my bottom wardrobe shelf next to my bed at head height.

It's been a nice day, with Anji and Orion coming over first, followed by Dad and then Fred. Steve and Denise (my parent's friends) also stopped by, but it's been great talking to Anji and Fred and watching Terminator 2 with Mum and Fred. I see now what these films are all about. I want to watch the others now. Thsi is the second film in a franchise that I have watched #2 of first- the other was 'Aliens 2' and it seems both that and Terminator 2 have a strong female lead, which is what interests me. I also watched parts of Cutthroat Island today with Geena Davis, so my feminist psyche is in full swing. GO KICK-ASS WOMEN!!!
I wish I was a kick ass woman. Nope. I'm just the enthiusiast fan-geek with a penchant for fanfictions. XD!

But anyway, have to go to work tomorrow. Am looking forward to seeing Donna for the first time in ages. Am not looking forward to seeing the boss-lady or dealing with my time off or that she owes me a week annual leave. Am not looking forward to seeing my measly paycheck when I have already spent over £150 of it on My Little Ponies (4 collector ponies and a custom pony).

Lastly... I AM looking forward to receiving my Albel Nox plushie, which was made by :iconTeam-thrash: and finished in great time. WHOO- IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!!!
That's all.

Samantha/ Noxie.
