azuriteDamn damn damn.
Don't you hate it when you spend so much time working on something, and it gets taken away, stripped from you, and utterly destroyed before your very eyes within a matter of minutes?
Okay, it's a video game, and yes, I'm exaggerating. But I hate losing. ;_; I managed to make it all the way to Level 9 of the Cave of Trials in Star Ocean 2, *AND* I managed to fend off the same gang of Dreamshades that killed me before-- multiple times! I was leveling my party up left and right, making cool items (2 of Opera's secret weapons/accessories) and even some nice, high-selling Art and prizes (Cards, Treasure Chests).
Well, so I decide I've leveled up enough to kick the Eyrisin (or however it's spelled) "E-Beast" around, and I head into the boss room. Keep in mind that I didn't *HAVE* to do this-- I could have gone back up to Level 7, gone to the Save Transport, saved, and been done with it. Then, upon re-entering the cave, I could have:
a) skipped Level 8 and its boss altogether by using the secret passage to Level 9; I still would have been able to access the Level 9 to Level 8 staircase back UP to the exit, but I would have to fight the Level 8 boss then.
b) gone all the way back down the Level 8 again, leveling up and junk along the way... and THEN fought the E-Beast with extra strength.
But no, stupid girl that I am decided to jump head-long into a battle. I thought I was winning too-- until all of a sudden I realized I didn't have control over Chisato and Claude anymore, and the E-Beast was gaining fast on Leon! ;_; Before I knew what was happening, Leon and Rena had both been swallowed and I was dead. *sigh*
It pisses me off that I spent so much time working on it, paying attention, and trying to get past that one damned level-- so I'm of course going to do it again. You might think playing video games is a waste of time, but I get a ridiculous sense of accomplishment from beating a game, and it spurs me onto doing more productive things-- i.e. working on my computer, coding, sorting out pictures, cleaning my room, doing the dishes, cooking... o_O Weird, isn't it?
In any case, I scanned in most of my FanimeCon 2004 pictures and I edited them in Photoshop, since the colors sucked... I'm in the process of sorting out all the pictures on my SNAPSHOT site into categories, so that when I make the layout and the site goes live, everything will be nice and organized. ^_^ Thus far, I have the following categories:
Anime Conventions - Fanime, Anime Expo, Metreon Festival of Anime
Anime FX - Club at SFSU
Arcades - Riptide, Milpitas Golf Land, SVGL, Metreon, etc.
ROTC - Camp Parks, Marine Corp Base (Camp Pendleton), Brigade Ball
School Events - Graduation, Prom, May Fest, etc.
Family Events - Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Brooke's Wedding, Brooke's Graduation...
Holidays - Halloween, Christmas, Random Vacations (Tahoe/Reno, etc.)
And of course, there'll be a miscellany category with all my other random fuzz.
Okay... so:
(1) Must try and fix errors with the join.php and country.php pages of my FL
(2) Must make layout for SNAPSHOT, sort pictures
(3) Must work on fics. Esp. WDKY, and KiSS doll too, if possible.
Must play more Star Ocean... *drools* If I play it too much, I might end up working on "Perfect World" before WDKY! >_
