Home sweet home

I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say....Hi. How ya doin'?

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted an entry. I started writing a review on Ghost Trick months ago and then forgot to come back. I miss blogging, so I decided I'd try to get myself back into it again. I changed my layout (I got sick of the other one) -- if I wasn't so lazy I would dedicate myself to learning things I said I'd learn three years ago, and make an awesome banner to go across the top. Alas, that has yet to happen.

I thought about starting a brand new blog. Getting a fresh start. Mainly using it for reviews since that's what I started using this one for, but I hate the idea of letting this die. In September it will actually be three years since I started this (wild!) and I enjoy looking back and seeing how much I've grown as a person! (Or at least, I feel like I've grown a lot.) A lot of things have changed since I typed up that first post -- but I'll stop there at the risk of getting too mushy.

So, it's been six months since I posted last. I've stumbled upon new fandoms that have dragged me into their clutches. The worst of which being "North and South" which is a book by Elizabeth Gaskell. My mother and I watched the BBC mini series and I instantly fell in love. (Particularly with Richard Armitage, who plays John Thornton.) I proceeded to read the book which I enjoyed immensely, if not a tad less than the mini series.


I've also joined the liege of Ghost Trick fans, and tentatively I've stepped into the Hetalia fanbase. Two other fandoms slammed into me in the forms of Disney's Tangled, and Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon. I was pleasantly surprised by both and wasn't expecting to enjoy them nearly as much as I did. (Flynn has become my favorite male Disney character.) Lately I spend a lot of time listening to the soundtracks on my Zune, enjoying the creativity they seem to inspire.

I've also been writing and drawing more. There was some time where I was too busy to do most of my hobbies, and I forgot how refreshing it is to create. It's not even that I think I'm good at these things -- it's that I enjoy them immensely and I feel happier when I do them. I'm trying to manage my time better to fit these things in.


Some exciting stuff happened the past couple months, I attended Zenkaikon for the second time this past March. One of my friends went along and we had a wicked good time. We cosplayed Ryuuji, and Taiga from Toradora! and we got to meet Todd Haberkorn. (And get a picture and autograph!) The only downside was that we didn't get Vic Mignogna's autograph, but we still got to see him which was pretty sweet. (Alas, we took no pictures together which was a total FAIL on our part.)

I also just turned nineteen, and received L.A. Noire for the Ps3 and 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors for the n Nintendo DS. I've been playing both on and off and they're pretty cool. I've been playing 999 more, and while I'm upset that I somehow managed to get my favorite character killed, I'm too curious to not finish it. I look forward to playing through it again in the future so I can get the "True Ending." WHICH I FIND IT VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE TO GET A BAD ENDING FIRST! D: I don't like bad endings!

I'm also playing the first Portal on my computer. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm SO CLOSE. I see why people love it so much. GLaDOS is hilarious with her witty (and cruel) comments.

Well, I feel I've rambled on quite enough for this post. I look forward to bringing this place back to life.

Till next time!
