I was playing "Kingdom Hearts" on expert mode on Thursday night, and I was doing fine until I got to Traverse Town. I guess I should have realized that I was doomed when Leon/Squall (after reading the "Final Fantasy VIII" game script, I can't just refer to him as Leon anymore) beat me with just a couple swings of his gunblade. Then I went to Guard Armor and quickly lost to it twice (the first time I died because it fell on me--I'm still trying to work that one out), so I gave up. I also kind of scared myself by inadvertantly referring to Riku as "Perrin," which is Not a Good Thing. Perrin is not a Riku substitute. Tidan may have been a Riku substitute, but Perrin is not. If Perrin had to be compared with any video game character, he'd probably be Squall/Leon because he thinks far too much. He gets that from me, I think.
Today on the way to and from my cousins' house I was reading The Amber Spyglass and ZOMG LOVE. I was at a really good part too, so it was all eee!land of the dead, eee!mulefa, eee!Metatron, eee!Mrs. Coulter and Lord Asriel shippy-ness... and I had to stop reading right before the Will/Lyra shipping fun. It never ceases to amuse me how these twelve-year-olds are all "I love you!" Thankfully, though, it isn't incredibly cheesy (as in Hayden/Raen), and the part at the end when they have to day good-bye to each other absolutely breaks my heart. But still. Twelve-year-olds in love is amusing.
I would have a quote of the day from The Amber Spyglass, but it's upstairs and I don't want to go get it. So instead, I'll just reference it in my location.

eee!
bella and i are going to see the golden compass today! it shall be very exciting. i'm sure we'll be ranting about all the ways that it isn't like the book. also, if we see any religious protesters, we are going to
i think i had more to say, but i forgot. oh, except for dylan listening in during an awkward moment during lunch and me scaring eric with shaylagh's vibrating shoe. other than that, i can't remember anything because my head hurts =(
oh, but i do remember one thing: my geek!music obsession of the week is "sending a dream into the universe" from the final fantasy vii soundtrack. it is very pretty and makes me want to do fondus and developpes for some reason.
quote of the day:
"aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

- she writes mini-biographies for her characters, reads old writing, and reads the amber spyglass while eating nerds when she should be doing her homework
- when she finally does decided to do her homework, she goes to her backpack to get some stuff out and discovers that she doesn't have her biology binder. she has a biochemistry test on monday. this is not good.

i want to find my old, slow laptop and see if i can find some of my old authorfiction and character bios. that would be quite the adventure.
i think i'm going to watch part of revenge of the sith tonight. over the past several weeks i've been trying to watch all the star wars movies in sequence (but not in one sitting - that would take over 12 hours and i don't have anywhere near enough time on my hands to do that). so now i'm up to revenge of the sith. this means i get to spend much of the movie making little "squee" noises, and when i'm not making squee noises i'm being angry about how padme's death was so pathetically handled. (when i watched attack of the clones, i was pretty much cringing during every line that anakin uttered. this situation will be somewhat remedied in revenge of the sith because he's a whole lot more attractive. hayden christensen's voice really annoys me, though. it's rather whiny.)
today's quote of the day is brought to you by the amber spyglass. i don't think i've ever quoted anything from the his dark materials trilogy for the quote of the day before. but that trilogy is basically awesome. especially when i'm eating nerds whilst reading it. oh, and balthamos (the gay angel) reminds me of bartimaeus from the bartimaeus trilogy for some reason.
quote of the day:
"what is the point of this metaphysical speculation?"

Oh, and speaking of voices, that girl who played the lead girl in John Tucker Must Die was the voice of Namine in Kingdom Hearts II.
Back to Star Wars talk. The Han and Leia romance reminds me so much of the Sawyer/Kate romance on Lost. Except Han doesn't call Leia "Freckles." And then I suppose Luke could be like Jack because they both have saving people things, except on Lost, Kate isn't Jack's sister. As far as we know.
I've also discovered a bit of a parallel between Lost and The Subtle Knife. I was reading in The Subtle Knife about how when Lord Asriel opened that huge window thing into another world, it messed up the earth's magnetic field or something, so I've decided it would be cool if on Lost there was a window into another world where the hatch used to be, assuming the hatch was destroyed, of course. The stupid Lost producers always leave too many cliffhangers.
