folkloric

Trying to get a hold of the FF12 ost, so I can figure out what songs to get sick of when I replay them over and over again. :D I'm contemplating whether or not just to replay the game or look up cutscenes on youtube, but something tells me I'll end up replaying for my megaflare fic.

.....anime counts.



Ballerinas. Transformation sequence that isn't overly long. Tchaikovsky. A prince with two princess.

I could probably go on and on about this show. For the first year it was on demand on the anime news networked, I laughed at it. Who watches a show about ballerinas? Especially magical ones? Finally after one bored night, I decided to watch it and ever since I've been kicking myself for assuming it'd be horrible. Probably one of the few animes I've actually liked in the 2000s, this is the summary from wikipedia:

Princess Tutu follows Duck, a duck who was transformed into a young girl who takes ballet at a private school. She becomes enamored of her mysterious schoolmate Mytho, and transforms into Princess Tutu to restore his shattered heart. Mytho's girlfriend Rue transforms into Princess Kraehe to disrupt Tutu's efforts, and Mytho's protective friend Fakir discourages Mytho's burgeoning emotions. When it becomes apparent that Duck, Rue, Mytho, and Fakir are meant to play out the roles of characters in a story written by a writer named Drosselmeyer, they begin to resist the constraints of their assigned fates and fight to keep the story from becoming a tragedy.

Needless to say this series has influenced me a lot more than I want to admit. :|

Each episode highlights a certain opera or ballet, breathing life and showcasing some performances that many have forgotten. The music is one of the strongest I've ever seen and the dances are spot on and you actually feel something for the characters. God, I love that show D;

I don't know what it is, but its always Sunday's where I look like a hot mess. Case in point: I have a bug bite literally in the middle of my face. The ridge/rise of your nose in between your eyes connecting to your skull? It's smack dab in the middle. E e

Finalized my classes for the fall, I'm taking: Math, 2D Design, Children's literature and Film, Interpersonal communication and depending on my sanity at the middle of the semester, US Government. My only for fun class is Children's lit, everything else is what I need to transfer.

Day 02 → Your favorite movie

I think this was harder to figure out than the video game one.



Let's just say I was so obsessed with this movie as a kid, I knew the script for the most part, by heart. The novel was better (the first novel had enough wealth of information to be the plot of both movie 1, part of 2 and movie 3) but still, movie is awesome. Raptors were my favorite character. :)

Doing this, because I just am spamming this place recently, aren't I?

Day 01 → Your favorite video game



Yea. I can feel the wtf coming at me from people who didn't see this coming. People treat this game either with enthusiastic love or complete revulsion. This game made me want to become a writer, it solidified my hope that nothing would be too complex, too heavy in terms of entertainment not to be enjoyed by a market. The story is half baked, the original director either became sick or resigned or both, some his ideas were scrapped, changed or edited but you can still see the love and detail in it.

Never before, have I ever given up the main storyline just to travel around and see the wonders in the world. The conflict, the politics the shades of love you see in this game is amazing, I can keep going on hours about it. Penelo was pointless, Vaan hung on by a thread, Nabradia was reduced to just a damn dungeon and Basch was kicked out of being the main character but the strength presented in what's left is what got me. This game would have been legendary if it had been completed the way it was meant to be.

This makes me laugh both in the sense of oh this is perfect and no wonder. My former English teacher would complain my writing always sounded old fashioned. This is probably why, though my favorite is William Faulkner, Dickens is nice.

Literally.

I suddenly have the urge to take up drawing again, though I've taken classes in the past and I have drawn in the past, I just never did anything with it. It's like driving for me, I know how to do it, but then I'll just suddenly stop doing it and then suddenly months will have past and I have the urge to do it again. :<

On that subject, I'm forcing my family to acknowledge the fact that, actually yes, I can drive, its just I don't have the confidence to pull off the test because of the long periods of drought I have with it. I proved the point by making my dad let me drive his car to places and he commented that yea, maybe he was a little harsh on my driving skills. 6___6; I'd like to drive mostly because A. I suddenly have friends and I want to hang out with them more, and B. when I go travelling I want to drive. When I went down to Florida I had the chance to meet neurorot (♥) but I couldn't because I didn't have my license. D:

I have a strange relationship with driving, the last time I drove before yesterday was back in February. And before then, it had also been a month or two from the last attempt. :/ I'm going to aim to get my license in a few months, because I'm not going to be the semester long bus pass but a half semester one. XD; If I don't have it by then, I'll be stuck punishing myself via having to pay bus fare. The pass is for 75 days, so its not that bad, its just getting me into the car that'll be the hard part.

I'm tempted to see if anyone will reply to this.

Give me a word and a paring or a character and I will write you a short ficlet. If you want me to write something original, just give me a word and a setting. :)
