I'm alive!

...

Somehow.

I manage to survive exam period thanks to mom visiting on the day of my last exam and dragging me shopping, where I managed to finish my Christmas shopping and buy a few little things for myself with the gift cards I got for my birthday. Fortunately, those gift cards were from my two favorite stores, EBGames and Chapters. With the former, I managed to buy a copy of Drakengard. You know, the one with the implied incest and the flying mutant babies. And with the latter, I got Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and some other fantasy book that I'm too lazy to remember the title of. All I remember is that the woman that wrote it was a programmer for Neverwinter Nights before she decided to switch to writing full time. And that's it's an alternate universe in the Napolean era with dragons and stuff.
Yes, I am squealing with joy.

Art and writing has been rather productive, really. Now that I can manage to get more than three hours of sleep (no thanks to noisy neighbors), I have better concentration and focus on my writing a lot. Heck, if I produce something decent and I proof read it, I might...you know....post it here.
Art will only be coming at a later date. Probably after classes start again (with my Intro to Mythology claassss. <3) I'll start scanning some stuff and post it. Unfortunately, the scanner here at home is a feed scanner (since it's a fax too) and I feel heartbroken whenever I rip off a page in my sketchbook to scan something.

...
Insert conclusion to this post he--Oh! Gaming!
I haven't been gaming as much as I used to. Especially here at home, where everyone is in the living room and that's where the Wii console is and there's not enough room to hook up my PS2. So, every chance I get, I start playing Zelda: Twilight Princess until someone comes back. It works pretty well in the night, when everyone else goes to bed, but in the day, I can pretty much expect about half an hour of play time.
During the exam period, I've been replaying Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Kingdom Hearts 2. KH2 is...okay? It's easier than I remember it to be and I'm being rather apathetic towards the plot.
Except for one bloody scene that melts my heart every time. Guess it and you get a cookie. Hint: It's within the first oh...four hours of the game? I managed to get to that scene within two hours and fourty five? I'unno, that prologue is rather long.

Post English exam:

Cookie: *comes back into room with the fire alarm beeping* ...D:!
*hurries and opens the window in case there's smoke*
Fire Alarm: *stops*

-fifteen minutes later-
Fire Alarm: >D *starts beeping again*
Cookie: D: *runs to Proctor Nicole's room to tell her of the problem*
Nicole: Mmmaaybe you should to see Norm?
Cookie: *runs up three floors to find Norm*
Norm: Umm...I'll call security.

-five minutes later-
Security: Umm...Call us when it happens again and we'll cut the power off.
Cookie: ...That means I have to wait till it happens again and call you. Meaning I won't have lunch if I want to wait for it to happen to keep myself from getting fined in the future.
Ffffffff....

Cookie's progress on Shadow Hearts: From the New World:

"..."
-random encounter-
"...Okay."
-INSTADEATH-
"WHAT?"
...
-Victory!-
"...Okay."
-Two steps, RANDOM ENCOUNTER SURPRISE ATTACK-
"...-twitch-"
-INSTADEATH-
"Okay, NOT funny."

Rinse and repeat several times and then I go switch to DMC3, where I get owned by the second boss for the third freakin time.

And now, can I take a break from studying? Please? o-o
*sobs*

I just finished class for the term today.

Oh yes I am relieved. D:
Which means that there will also be arts and possibly writing soon.

And I need to finish my Astronomy assignment tomorrow, while it is DUE tomorrow.
Tonight, though, I cuddle up with a bottle of pepsi and play Shadow Hearts 3 and Devil May 3.

x3

Ladies and Gents, it is now 7:40 pm as I write this. Quiet time won't be until an hour from now, where I will finally have the program to write (i.e. Microsoft Word). By tomorrow, I have to write two essays: one arguing that Futility by Owen is one kickass poem (which it is) and the other showing how Aristotle, Augustine, and Pico are religious bastards that either think humans are doomed or that we're awesome.

Do you know what this means?
All-nighter numbah TWO this week.


I so won't be conscious tomorrow. xD

Also, since I can't stop fandorking over Shadow Hearts, I'm gonna have fun and write a character study about the main characters from Covenant and From the New World. As well as pimp the forking battle theme of FtNW since it is the most epic thing I could listen to.

Edit: So Aristotle says that we should live by taking the middle of two extremes, Augustine says we're screwed unless God likes you so we can so anything we bloody want, and Pico says that we're cool.
Now I just need another thousand words. :D

Consisted of walking to Game Zilla and getting Shadow Hearts: From the New World.

Why yes, I am squeeing of glee. xD

Friday, since I'll be done my self titled "week-of-hell-where-I-need-to-finish-a-project-in-one-day," I'll be spoiling myself silly by going to Prospect and buying something from the Game Zilla in Fredericton and the EBGames. Hopefully, I'll finally get a copy of Radiata Stories or Onimusha 3.
Really, I saw practically all the games I wanted in Moncton, but I felt too guilty asking for a second game. :c

Also, expect two pics in the coming week. One of them is a totally Western-inspired piece (thank you, Wild ARMS) and a pic for myself for my birthday. c:

Cookie's progress this week:

-Lost my ID card, meaning I don't have any meals other than a can of beans.
NOR any way of getting my bus ticket back to Moncton unless I pay for a regular ticket. Which is about 60$.
-Computer crashed while I was well underway my English essay, which was totally rocking.
-There is no kitchen.
-I decided to walk barefoot, without any knowledge that the carpets were removed, in the hallway. My feet are sticky.
-Missed two classes today because my body refused to get up.
-I possibly ruined my DS when I accidentally spilled pop on it. It permanently ruined my FFIV game, which was well under way and my DS sometime has trouble reading the cartridges.
-My tablet pen fell and I don't think it's working. Fffff...

The end of the first term is coming. :D

Personally, I am stoked for exams. Especially since Astronomy will be OVER!
Ahahahahaaaa! No more bloody math and physics! Yeehaa!

*cough*
But, of course, I still have one project, two essays*, and an oral presentation to finish by the next two weeks.
Shoot.
*One of said essays I am asking for an extension for. Hopefully she'll be nice enough to grant me one.

I am warm and cuddly in my big, fluffy sweater. Sitting in the coolest desk chair ever and watching a livestream of Arc Rise Fantasia.
I have a cup of tea in one hand and a pencil in the other, sketching my life away.
I am planning to whore my little DS in thanks for being such a good sport and not dying on me during the week.
Also, I am considering to livestream on justin.tv for all my buddies.
Finally, I am back in my regular dorm room, the mess completely intact.

Life is being good to me right now.

:D

Ugh.


Uuuugh

I come back from an entire day of classes and what does Cookie see?
That the fire alarms have rung and the floors looked like if someone pee'd.
I have little clothing with me, and a blanket too.
I'm going to kill the person that rang the alarm, that little foo.


So yeah, I've relocated rooms until further notice. Fortunately, I have some clothing, my id card, my debit, my sketchbook/writing book, this laptop, and a blanket to sleep on. And, fortunately, my Nintendo DS--so I won't die of withdrawal.
Yeah, the water sprinklers went off on my floor so I get relocated. There are seven floors on the Edith MacLeod House in the University of New-Brunswick.
I am going to kill the person that rang the alarms/set something on fire.
(Not literally, but I am PISSED. It didn't help that I was forced to take a cab from one end to the campus to the other that cost me ELEVEN DOLLARS.)

So I thought this would me more interesting in lj, since only about three people comment and it would make for some conversation:

Ask me a question, folks. xD Any question at all. (I love this meme so much.)

With good reason? Not really.

Anyway, I finished that blasted Yuri and Alice picture. For some reason, I keep on thinking that I turned some potentially awesome picture to something blessed with suck. But, right now, I really don't care and feel like moping with some original art/writing. As soon as I get the inspiration.
That sad fic will come soon, might start it after I get back from class.

Welcome to 2000, where one of the best games of my childhood was released. xD
My sister hated it when I played this game.
But, holy cow, it was awesome in a Disney movie kind of way. (There's even a DS port, which I own, but has lack of English audio and no tactical battle system.)


Okay, I'm done posting for today.

What really happened when Cookie hasn't played Baten Kaitos for a while:

-finally beat the spider-boss-thing in Nunki Valley-
Cookie: All riiiight! =D! Totally didn't use healing items once.
-three minutes later, she is caught in a fight with those Bomb-esque things-
Cookie: Oh crudcrudcrudcrud.
Kalas: -dies-
Cookie: ... -has just realized that she hasn't saved since first arriving in Pherkad, meaning half an hour of gameplay GONE-
D:
...
D:!
...
D:<!

And a WIP of the lovely Shadow Hearts fanart, since I can't get enough of that game likewow. )

Dear Adobe Photoshop CS2,

I love you very dearly. You are probably one of the first two coloring programs I've learned to use.
Now that I'm finally able to use you again, now that I finally have the time and patience (thanks to the lack of waking at 7 am to go to class)...

Would it kill you to work for five minutes without freezing and making my computer lag and overheat severely?

Wo bu ai ni(I think I got the wording right, without the accents),
Julie

So the first thing I realized today is that UNB follows many similar procedures similar to school.
Such as cancelling classes when a storm hits.
That and there is no classes on Wednesday, meaning I don't need to wake up at 7 am after going to bed at 1(I only get back to my res at 10-10:30).

The second, is that there is TWO places here that serve bubble tea. Oh boy, I love my bubble tea.

The third thing, is that my printer loathes me. I literally spent half an hour battling with it so that it can print out one document in order for me to get additional government money.
And scan the following picture.

What's this? What's this?! )

So I'm home until Sunday! Most of the time will be spent by grocery shopping and washing those sticky, sticky dishes.

Not only that, but after my parents told me that they haven't even touched the Wii since I left, I'm bringing it to res with me! For some reason I really miss playing Twilight Princess. I have no clue why.
There will be an art post in the future, and a possible writing post.
(I also keep expecting to see my cat to rub up against my leg. It's a total kick to the stomach when I realize that it's not going to happen anymore.)

Anyway, a second checklist: This time for that gosh-darned art spam!

Under ze cut! )
