Why is it that the beach/spa scenes in video games are always so awesome?
Persona 3, though, may just take the cake.

VERY SLIGHT SPOILERS BELOW




So anyway, you (Protagonist, Protag, EmoHair, whatever you call the main character), Junpei, and Akihiko are all at the beach for a vacation, seeing as the girls of the group have wandered off to explore the nearby forest.

So Junpei (Ed Elric), naturally determines that Operation Babe Hunt is about to begin.

....Crap. I can't say too much, otherwise it would spoil the fun for those who haven't played it, but it was morbidly fun to go up to those girls on the beach, know exactly what we girls do not like to hear from strangers on a beach, and watch the dudes flounder through some crappy pickup lines. XD

Best part ever:
After Junpei and Akihiko try to woo a girl, it's your turn, and if you can hold a conversation:

Junpei: "....I can't believe it. He's actually talking to her..."
Akihiko: "...I know, he just must be bett-- wait a second, stop crying, Junpei!" _{Again, hearing this all with Ed's voice (as I'm STILL on an FMA obsession ) makes this even funnier~}

P3=WIN


...I'm sorry.
Again.
I'm gonna stop fangirling now.
_{.....But I can guarantee that it WILL happen again. I this game~}


Oh yeah. I got a 4 (out of 5) on my AP European History exam.
Not too bad, if you consider the fact that, instead of studying, I was mostly playing Okami the weeks before the exam~ <8D

So I'm addicted to a new game. Persona 3~~
The game is kinda hard to grasp at first, but the battle system is worth it. There's just something about your character putting a gun to his head, and instead of brains and stuff coming out, it's this ultra-cool summon/materialization of your soul/adorable little stuffed doll.

Also the fact that in the opening scene EmoHair (your character~) walks past dozens of COFFINS, and is entirely unfazed, except for the fact that he can't find the address he's looking for.

And then the music is a mix of J-pop and rap that shouldn't sound good, but is actually awesome and irresistibly dancable.

The characters are made of win, too, especially their voices. The main character is voiced by Luke (some part of me couldn't figure out why those battle noises sounded so familiar), and then there's Junpei.
Ah, Junpei. The attitude of Sokka, the voice of Edward Elric (Yep. It took me until he shouted out "GET BACK HERE YOU SONNAVA--" to figure it out~).
</fangirling>

Uh. But anyhow.
I'm going to Boston tomorrow. My mom decided that New York wasn't enough, so we're seeing another city. I'm getting quite enough of cities, lately... I've made up my mind to live in some forest when I grow up. 8| I don't really enjoy hacking my lungs out every time I pass a smoker, which happens almost constantly in big cities. =__=

And my mom went crazy again when she was trying to find a hotel room. See, nothing is satisfactory unless it is PERFECT, and she will sit at the computer for hours on end to find a hotel. So my dad, realizing that hotel rooms were filling up quickly, grabbed the first he could find, making sure he could cancel it if needed.
Which my mom took as a personal attack against her planning abilities. So she's been giving everyone except my sister the cold shoulder, and we all kinda know to just wait it out. 9_9

Grah.
Uh.

So I barfed and had diarreah today.
And I learned how much of a friend a hot water bottle can be. _{After sitting in a class for four hours, trying to ignore the pain everywhere~ 8D}

HAAAY PEOPLE _{Titles make me cry}
I need a new quiz and also a distraction from summer reading.
_{If, say, Harry Dresden were the narrator of Wuthering Heights instead of some guy who teases and gets attacked by dogs, I'd be more interested.}

Sooo I commented on 's entry, so now I post it in my own journal~

Leave a comment, and I will;

a) Tell you why I friended you
b) Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, et cetera
c) Tell you something I like about you
d) Tell you a memory I have of you
e) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
f) In return, you must post this in your journal.

FINALLY. SCHOOL IS OVER.
Vacation time!
.......*sleeps*

Except for the beginning of marching band (where I almost fainted a couple times on the first day~), I've slept in, played Okami, and tried to draw (NOT GOING SO WELL).

And since I've basically only been playing video games and sleeping, I guess I'll talk about that.

Okami. I the graphics.
And also the fact that, while also a god of life and all that jazz, you can mow down everything in your path. :devRemenaut: was particularly horrified that, for the first couple of hours after she lent it to me, I had spent more time making trees grow, chopping them down, digging holes for money, and basically having more fun with the destruction I can cause than the actual plot. 8D
...I really do love the technique that allows you to make the whole screen burst into flames. 8DDD

Oh, and since my family's going to New York City in a couple of days, I got a game for my PSP so I wouldn't be bored silly when I'm....you know. Driving. Because I can. Since I have a license and all.
....8D

So I got Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. And the opening movie was even over, I already knew it was a game made SOLELY for fanservice. And not in the "let's see our heroes in bathing suits!" sense. Just presenting the most popular heroes of the most popular Tales games.

....But it has Luke. So I'm happy.
And it's long-haired!Luke, at the beginning of Abyss. So when you first find Luke and Tear _{being chased by guards} and ask how they came here, Tear's being all "Well, uh, we just happened to come in, because..." and Luke cuts in and goes "WE TELEPORTED. NOW GTFO. D8< "

And later, he's showing off to Kratos (who is basically a tour guide o.O), and I quote:
Luke: "You think I'm dead weight, huh? Take a look at this!!"
Tear: "LUKE, we're in public!"
And he's all out of breath by time he finishes showing off, but Kratos is rather unimpressed.

....8D
_{And even though he was just showing off some of his Artes, I still immediately thought of it this way~}

Anyway. I'm trying to get some summer reading done, but my AP English book is "Wuthering Heights."
I HAVE NOT GOTTEN PAST THE FIRST PAGE. D8>
Because I have FMA right next to where I'm reading. c:

...Now I'm gonna try changing my old wolf chomper-thing (you know, where it's on a stick, and you pull it to make the mouth close?). Imma paint it white and red and it'll be Amaterasu~ 8D

ADIOS, PEOPLESES.

Okay, so this weekend was fairly unexciting until today. Friday, the entire lacrosse team was forced to scrub plate windows at an indoor sports facility for an hour and a half in exchange for using a field for an hour. (The place was still under construction, even. LOL stoopid)

Saturday, we decisively kicked some private school butt, again, 7-2.

Today, I sat around, having finished my homework, and reread FMA and played some TotA.

Then, after dinner, my dad and I tried to put a spare wheel on the car that I use, in order to drive it to an auto shop about five minutes away.

First, let me tell you about my car.
It is literally as old as I am (keep in mind, kiddies, you must be 16+ to drive a car!), is a bright red Volkswagon convertible, and my brother used it before I did. Haha, he certainly left his mark on it! _{On the front-right bumper and the right headlight and the entire back bumper, actually.}
Also, if you look in the rearview mirror for too long, everything gets blurry because the entire car just vibrates.
BUT HEY. It gets me from point A to point B, so I can deal with it.
_{Also because my mom has a tantrum any time we bring up the idea of retiring a car she doesn't even use anymore.}

So, my dad taught me how to change a tire (the current tire had a slow leak, that was supposed to have been fixed when we dropped the car off about a week ago, but turned up flat again two days ago.), and also that you must put the jack underneath the actual iron frame of the car. So now it's just a little difficult to open the passenger side door, because a piece of the car just kinda slants up now. But it opens, so I can deal with it.

So anyway, the spare was put on, and my dad was driving the convertible, and I was driving the minivan, right behind him. Suddenly, about two minutes away from the house, he pulled to the curb, because HAY THE SPARE WAS FLAT TOO. And the tire got shredded in the few seconds he drove on the rim, so we took the original flat tire, filled it up at an air pump, and went back to the poor, abandoned Volkswagon.

And then we realize that, in his hurry to stop the car and keep the rim from being destroyed, my dad had parked about an inch too close to the curb, so that the original tire couldn't be put on the car.

So we decided to try and jack the car up a couple centimeters more, because the tire was THIS CLOSE to being jimmied onto the axel, before I (who was doing said jimmying) realized that HAY THE CARZ FALLING.

So now the car is being propped up by the wheel, stuck between the car and the curb, we have LOST ALL HOPE OF EVER BEING MECHANICS, and meekly called AAA to please help us get to the auto maintenance place about two minutes away from the stranded car, and about 90 minutes from when this HORRIBLE NIIIIGHTMAAAAARE began, and I have the blood of my automobile staining my hands, never to come off. _{(Seriously, it's gross.)}


PS
Harry Dresden is made of win.
And awesome.
And is secretly Jade in his spare time.
