Colors of the wind~

Am I really lame enough to steal a song title from Pocahontas? Yes, yes I am.

Only reason I chose to use that as my title was because I started Okami tonight. I turned it on thinking I'd play for an hour, get through the whole 'learning how to play' part that you go through with every game. (That starts to be a drag after awhile.) I ended up playing it for 3 hours and 40 minutes. It's AWESOME.

I fail. I totally fail. I haven't finished ToS: Dawn of the New World, I haven't finished Vampyre Story, I haven't finished Professor Layton. So what do I do? I START A NEW GAME. I just couldn't resist...I'm currently concerned when I'm playing Dawn of New World because my Wii sounds like it's eating the disc during Z skits. Vampyre story I like to play an hour or so at a time since the main characters voice can really grate on your nerves, and Professor Layton I have to be in the mood to really really think when I turn it on. Today I just felt lazy. Okami was calling..I couldn't resist.

The art style really IS gorgeous. The gameplay is a lot of fun and very different. The story has already caught my interest. Which surprised me. Since I figured the story might be a little like Legend of Zelda where it doesn't really snag my complete attention, but I love the gameplay so I play it anyway. (Nothing against Zelda's stories, they just aren't that in depth) This seems to have a good story to back it up.

I'm not going to go into great detail yet...especially since I'm not that far. I will however, say that fighting, and restoring deteriorating land with the paint brush is a lot of fun. I kept fixing the trees that were dead as I was heading back to a save spot. The art is just so PRETTY that I can't skip watching them change every time.

Besides gaming I've also been reading Hana-Kimi. I accidentally stayed up till 3 in the morning because I kept going "ONE MORE CHAPTER, JUST ONE MORE". I ended up stopping at chapter 86 last night. There's like..147 chapters. It's such a cute series! The whole plot is so convoluted.

-Mizuki (Girl) leaves America and joins an all boys school to get to know the person she admires most, high jumper Izumi Sano

-Mizuki ends up DORMING with Sano

- Sano figures out that Mizuki is a girl, but doesn't say anything.

- Nakatsu (friend of Sano) starts to fall for Mizuki, and begins to panic because he thinks he's gay

So basically Nakatsu thinks he's gay when he's really not since Mizuki is a girl, and Mizuki continues to try to hide the fact that she's a girl from everyone, especially Sano since they're roommates, while Sano already knows she's female. Right.

Then there's Umeda-sensei who is the doctor at Osaka Gakuen. He figured out that Mizuki was a girl the first time he met her, and told her this the minute they were alone together. He decided to keep her secret for her, and Mizuki goes to talk to him whenever something is bothering her, or when she has her monthly troubles.

So basically where I'm at there are four people that know Mizuki is a girl, and Mizuki only knows that Umeda knows. HA. HA. HA.

Along with the fact that Sano has fallen in love with Mizuki, and Mizuki is in love with Sano. Problem is, Sano is pretending he doesn't know that Mizuki is a girl. This series is great. Really. XDD

I'll say now that Umeda is my favorite character in the series. He's a sarcastic doctor who kicks people in the head when he gets mad at them. He has rather violent tendencies and he hates to be woken up. He DOES take his job very seriously and will lecture people on taking care of themselves if needed. Besides all that he's gay and enjoys wearing flashy clothing when he is not in his uniform, and it seems, the reason why he doesn't like women is because of his older sister. Who dressed him up as a girl when he was little, and is more violent than he is.

How can you NOT love that? Really?

So that's what I've been up to the past week or so. Besides watching Rosemary and Thyme with my mom in the evenings, reading The Book Thief, and working on an Ouran High School Host Club AMV.

Went to see my friends new puppy today. She's adorable! I told her I plan on stealing it.

Still licking my wounds over Vampire Knight. Every time I watch a ZeroXYuuki AMV I almost cry. Every. Time.

Ciao for now!
