I just gotta say...
Those Porpos-kin are cuuuuuute!
So far I'm exploring dungeons with my tried-and-true method of sticking to one side of the wall.
I noticed that in most RPGs religion is portrayed in a negative light. I can't think of one example where the game's religion isn't portrayed as corrupt at best and a complete lie at worst. Nor can I think of any adherents to any religion who aren't evil or misled.
I'm not saying a religion has to be confirmed as true and good. I would just like to see the occasional follower of a religion portrayed as something other than wicked or ignorant.
Anyway, that's enough ranting. Onto the good stuff!

Hurray, my Suikoden Tierkreis came in!
Now I'm playing it.
Did you know that the hero is 15 years old?
I'll do a running commentary until I get bored.
So, the game starts out with this anime-style opening. I'm keeping an eye out for Luvais, since Yutaka is absolutely crazy about him, but I suppose he doesn't show up until way later in the game.
When you start a new game, you're whisked into a scene where this obvious bad guy is saying, "You have no chance, mwahahaha!" and this guy is like "OMG YES WE DO" and this other guy's like "THIS BATTLE HAS MEANING" and this girl's like "YEAH YOU CAN'T SAY IT DOESN'T" and they start fighting and then this kid shows up and you're supposed to pick his name out.
Well, I wanted to name him RACHAEL because that's my name, but then I found out he's not a Silent Protagonist, so I just looked him up and found out his name is "Sieg" so I named him SIEG.
The game starts out with a generic Let Me Show You the Ropes quest, even though these children have obviously been training with Dirk for a while. Then some villagers say some cryptic things about how "Well, I didn't trust Liu at first because he showed up from nowhere with no parents" and "Your parents would be so proud of you! Too bad we have no idea what happened to them or where they are." You know, stuff that Sieg already knows, but I don't.
So now I'm fighting these incredibly cute Laggarts with the greatest of ease because Dirk is like OMG strong and this game has yet to get actually hard but mark my words it will.
( Onward! )

I'm your Lovertits!
^Lyric.
I'm so proud of my current HGSS team! I've got two Grass Pokemon and one Bug, which means that I'm weak to Fire and Flying Pokemon, and also Ice, because my Bug is also part Flying.
今の金銀チームが大好きです！２匹の草ポケモンと１匹の虫がいるから、炎ポケモンと飛行ポケモンに弱いです。それに、虫は飛行タイプだから、氷にも弱いです。
...Oh dear, I've gotten into the habit of capitalizing all the type names.
・・・もう、タイプを全部大文字ではじめたようになってしまった。
Anyway, I like weaknesses in my team, because it makes them more real to me.
もっとリアルにするため、弱さのあるチームが好きです。
Here is my team.
こりゃチームです。

Being un-PC is cool! and edgy!
You know what I fucking hate? When people act like they're uber special just because they're "un-PC."
"Un-PC" is a joke. You see it in both conservatives and liberals. "I'm un-PC because I think racist and sexist jokes are funny!" No, that's not un-PC when every fucking comedian on TV is telling them. "I'm un-PC because I'm against same-sex marriage!" HA! Same-sex marriages is legal in five states out of 50. I hardly think being against it is un-PC.
Oh, and I really hate it when someone who is "un-PC" helps to maintain the stigma our society has against single parents.
( Found on Stuff White People Do. )
God, I just...I don't know what to say. Where do these people get off?
I don't even know why the fuck I brought up un-PC. It really had nothing to do with the post, except for the commenter's user name, and I'm not going to mention it here.
As for the site Stuff White People Do, I find it interesting. I've been reading his back posts like crazy. I think anyone who's interested in white privilege, or what it means to be a white person, might want to go there.

My Pokemans, let me show you them.
This time, I'm really gonna try and "catch 'em all." I'm serious! All 493 of 'em! I may have to beg every now and then for a legendary, but I have at least one person who trusts me enough to trade.
Anyway, here's my team.

Pro-choice: What it is, what it isn't
I wasn't always pro-choice. In fact, I was anti-abortion until sometime around college.
Abortion hasn't been one of those easy issues for me. When I was anti-abortion, I was uncomfortable. Now that I am pro-choice, I'm still uncomfortable, because I can see both sides, and my Catholic upbringing has left its mark.
( Trigger warning )
Wow, this turned into a long post. But I've remained silent for too long on the issue of abortion. I needed to post my thoughts here, because I know that once I start posting it on my public LJ, things could get ugly.
But I'm ready for that. I'm happy that I've finally spoken up about supporting abortion rights, and other reproductive rights.
I'm sorry it took so long. But yes, now I am ready to be unapologetically pro-choice.

ファッキュー、メイン！
Today Maine proved that it sucks by repealing the law allowing gays to marry.
Of course, Alaska sucks, too, since same-sex marriage has never been legal here. I guess that means it sucks even more than Maine.
How much longer before gays aren't treated like second-class citizens?
What pisses me off even more is how many people are saying to the LGBT community, "Wait your turn! Our economy is bad right now. Why would we focus on something that only affects a small portion of the population? Don't be so selfish!"
Yeah, damn those uppity gays for for wanting the same rights that straight people have. The nerve!
Give me a fucking break. I'm sure they said the same thing to blacks who were pushing for the right to vote in the 60's, and to women in the early 1900's. "Wait your turn. There are other things to be done."
Well, you know what? There will always be "other things." If it's not the economy, it's health care. If it's not health care, it's the war in Iraq. If it's not the war in Iraq, it's abortion. There will never be a time when we look at each other and say, "Well, we've fixed everything else that needs fixing. Why don't we give those gays their marriage rights now?"
It just doesn't work that way.

NaNoWriMo for the first time.
Well, it's 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, November 1, and I've got my first page up. God knows I have to write more than a page a day, but I think I'm off to a good start. I don't have to win the first time.
Anyway, I probably won't post the entire thing here, but here's the first page.

OH MY GOD I DO NOT WANT TO EXERCISE 英語だけです
Do you know what? I last had my period TWO MONTHS ago. Lately all I crave is chocolate--I must be PMSing 24/7. God only knows how much I weigh right now. I'm scared to weigh myself. I want to say "The hardest thing in the world is to lose weight," but I won't because that's really not true.
But yeah. I've stopped wearing pads, which I usually do in anticipation of my period because I don't want to mess up my underwear or worse, my pants. But I finally said FUCK THAT.
And no, I'm not pregnant. I have never ever had any sexual contact with another person.
I could have ovarian cysts.
That doesn't help right now, of course.
STOP LOOKING AT ME, KOTONE
So! In spite of my whining, I'm actually doing pretty well. I'm playing Pokemon, reading "Lord Jim" by Joseph Conrad, and still working 2 hours a day, but at least I'm learning to use the database so I'm feeling more useful. I don't know how long that'll last, though, since I only get a stipend for October and then I could very well be welcomed back into the Wonderful World of Employment.
brb, gonna exercise before I change my mind.
*5 minutes later*
Oh God, I think I'm getting sick. Mom was sick this week and I think I'm next...Oh, and you know what's on? "Nature's Most Amazing Events," but I've seen it, so I go to my second choice, TLC, and what do I see? "American Chopper." UGH. That's got to be the most boring show on TLC. It's even worse than "Say Yes to the Dress."
*5 minutes later*
I just had a cookie and it was soooooo good.
*10 minutes later*
Ugh...not too sick to exercise...Cape Gannet chicks are fugly. Yeah, I'm watching NMAE again, since even if it's the same episode, I only saw the ending.
*15 minutes later*
Okay, it may not seem like it, but I have gotten my half hour in. And I'm sure you're all wondering, "How do you do it, Rachael? How do you exercise almost every day for an entire half hour?"
Here's my answer: IF YOU EXERCISE, NO ONE WILL BLAME YOU FOR BEING FAT.
Okay, that might not be true. Get out of my head B. B. Yardley!

Man, I can't believe this.
I guess that "Tri-Ace Only" convention was a day or two ago. I wish I could have gone. I really, really wish I could have gone. But it was in Japan, and honestly, even it was in the U.S., I doubt I could have gone.
It wasn't until now, though, that I realized how much I wanted that ValFaux book that Raika-san wrote. I mean, I really, really, really wanted it. And just now, I had tears in my eyes because I wanted it so badly. The previews she had on her site looked really good.
What a stupid thing to get teary-eyed over.
ＡＡＡオンリーは１，２日前だったそうです。行けばよかったのに。本当に本当に行きたかったけど、日本であった。実はアメリカであっても、行けなかっただろう。
なのに、今まで来賀さんが書かれたバルフォー本がこんなに欲しかったと悟らなかった。本当に本当に本当に欲しかった。ただいま欲しくて涙目になってしまった。サイトにある予告編はよさそうだったのに。
涙目になるとは、バカなことでしょう。
EDIT: Also, my dad turned 50 today.

fuck.
So I finally got that Wifi Max I'd been waiting for, which Blu sent to me along with some very sexy drawings of Fauxnel and a Space Penis (Palkia) stylus.
I installed the CD, connected the Wifi Max to the USB port, and even entered the SSID into the game, and I still can't get it to connect.
Now, there are several possibilities as to why this is happening:
1. There's something I'm doing wrong.
2. My computer is a piece of crap and somehow it won't accept the Wifi Max.
3. I can't use the WIFI Max with a Japanese game.
I'm really hoping it's the first one, because that's something that can be fixed.
Either way, I'm disappointed enough to cry.

A Bill Maher quote I found interesting
"And did you hear about this? There's a new study in the paper this week that said more and more seniors are having sex, including oral sex, into their 80s. This was published in the New England Journal of Eewww. Oral sex into the 80s? And you thought you didn't want to kiss grandma because of her moustache!"
Oh, Bill, grow the fuck up. People do not turn asexual after a certain age.

hisashiburi da na!
I've been playing Heart Gold for a while, and finally I have the Pokemon I want, and they've all evolved to their highest form. And you know what that means!
...Okay, maybe you don't. Well, I'll tell you: It means it's time to tell you about my team!
最近ハートゴールドをよくプレイして、やっと欲しいポケモンをみんな捕まえましたぞ！皆がファイナルフォームに進化したから、彼らについて話しましょう！

Hunting for Pokemon can be so exhausting.
寝に入れないようにながーいブログ書いている。
Machop, Machop, with muscles so tight, I don't desire to see you tonight.
コラッタ、コラッタ、わからなかった。
Geodude, Geodude, you are a rock; please see that you do not break someone's cock.
イシツブテ、ケンカを売って。
Zubat, Zubat, I named you Nick; but when you are wild you can be quite a dick.
キレイハナ、レベル上がったな！
Dammit, it's Marill I want!
マリルゥ、どこだーーーッ！！
I find that mouse traps catch Marill best.
ああ、マリルじゃない物たちの相手は疲れます。
Kotone's pigtails are wider than the doorways in this game.
フォーネルはこんなに仲間にしにくくなかったよ！
When I catch Marill, I might just name it "Yarou."
マリルを見つけ、うっかり倒すのをおびえる。
If that happens, I will SCREAM.
そう、今の言葉は翻訳じゃないです。
If I go to sleep, I might dream that I caught Marill and wake up and be so disappointed.
マリルが見つかるチャンスは１パーセントだけ。
Oh, fuck this.
本を読んだほうがいいかね。
