welcome to my small random ramblings... melancholy happy~ it was an endearment given to me from a friend long ago because most times i'd have a melancholy look about my face but in reality well i was happy. i can't even begin to count how many times i was asked "hey why are ya so down?" and answered, "i'm fine. ^^;;; really."

the lady's current mood: anxious
It's been ages and I hate that this is the first post I've done in a while but here goes nothing...



Well this worked when raising funds to go to E3 and I’m hoping this shall once again prove to be a prudent step once more.

I am a girl suffering for stupid mistakes. Mistakes that have unfortunately affected my credit in a negative way. Not only that but those close to me have made it clear they suffer from poor credit and cosigning would turn out a negative. Yay. I make $9.90 an hour while working and have about 1k to my name as it is. I have already taken the steps to acquire financial aid and have received the awards package. Unfortunately the awards package takes care of but a fraction of the costs to attend one year at Digipen.

I have applied for scholarships, loans, and what not and unfortunately so far nothing has come through but I am an optimistic person and hope that if not through loans there has to be some other way to acquire the funds needed to go to school.

Out of the 26k the school has said will be used for freshman year (including rent, food, tuition, books, fees, airplane tickets, moving, etc) I still need 18k. I am not stopping with this petition for help. With so little time available I have indeed become desperate. I shall be writing the chairman of the company whom I work for as well as a few other foundations.

This is the school for those interested: Digipen Institute of Technology http://www.digipen.edu

The program I have registered for is the Bachelors of Fine Arts in Production Animation.

Attending this school and actually taking the courage to enroll when lately my life has been nothing but one stressful event after another was probably one of the most important steps I have ever taken.

There is nothing I desire more than to complete my education, to get a better job, and of course succeed in life.

Perhaps an education is not important to some but as of now it has proven to be something most critical if I am ever going to succeed in the field of work I desire to be a part in. If you wish to donate simply click the pay pal button and if not hey that’s quite alright.









Thank you all so much in advance.

Shit hit the fan yesterday.

So i'm currently looking for another job so I can finally leave the ridiculous world of retail and it's ridiculous bullshit.

Have my resume practically finished except for the objective and skills part.

Winde, cause it's about fucking time.

p.s. hurray for curse words!

Well where to begin...

Well the holidays are officially over! WHOOOOO!!!

I have decided not to got o E3 this year. I'm a little bummed out but hey whatever. If Nick can't go, I can't think of a reason to go without him. :) I like my trips with him better anyways.

So I checked the release date of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess yesterday. Nintendo pushed it back to June. Nintendo loves to tease and I can't help but find myself still waiting with bated breath. Fuckers. XD

Hmm what else... addicted to Animal Crossing: Wild World. Can't see what's "wild" about it though I certainly like the cuteness factor. Joey the duck is my main squeeze. Seems to have a deep relationship with a persona known as the "Lasagne Fairy" who he says delivers him with "cheesy delights" in the middle of the night. Fucker is cheating on me damn it! XD

Hehe moving along, I'm still lost in the current of FF VII Fanfiction. I'm such a loser. :) Speaking of Final Fantasy... I recently watched a new Dirge of Cerberus commercial. Lucrecia was in it naturally, and well I couldn't help but be washed over with disappointment when I noticed they decided to show her preserved in that crystal formation in the secret cave.

Keep her dead there okay Square-Enix? Please?

She may be a beaut but she let Hojo impregnate her man! Ugh! Gross! She's used goods Vince! Don't go near the grossness!

*shifty eyes* *ahem* I certainly hope they have some closure, but eh nothing of the romantic sort. Of course if they do it's nothing a little "selective memory" loss can't fix! :D

Anyways I just thought I'd ramble some and show to people I am still alive! :D

Winde, alive and loving it!

i had two days off and pretty much the whole afternoon to myself.

is it selfish to want more time to myself?

the last couple of days have been really cruddy.

but hey i got a tabelt for christmas! i was practicing with it some more today and its so much different from using a mouse. i think i may just stick with sketching and take my time coloring with the pad later.

i should probably stick to trying to sketch with the tablet. ah well.

winde, bored

most likely old news to some but new news to me! (new news? ._.)

anyways there are scans out there that show vincent in his turk garb with dun dun dunnnnn LUCRETIA!

here they are:

page 1

page 2

 

thoughts on turk vincent: oh my god you r teh hawt. you make me dribble 1337speak and drool uncontrollably as i gaze at your hawtness of uberness. 10/10 for teh sexy.

thoughts on lucretia (her last name has been revealed as crescent): ... you have yuna's face(nice songstress outfit :p ). perhaps its the angle but your nose looks rather... long? i love the fact they kept your pony tail but... woman what the hell is up with the ribbon wrapped around it. atleast you lost the maroon shirt and yellow tie. miss the earrings however. those were hot. 3/10 for the biased factor.

so well my own assumptions are that dear old vincent is having some sort of illusion/flashback thing. hopefully finally coping with his past and dare i say it moving on. i know there are people out there that just want vincent to have his day with lucretia but... i just think there's a wrongness to it. does that sound weird?

i'll be disappointed if they do hook up in the end. i don't know. it would just be a little weird. no i don't want vincent moping for all of eternity, but hey lucretia ended up marrying hojo for a reason, right?

winde, gazing at scans

Ok so after reading Dahne's fanfiction I now have a slight appetite for yaoi. Why, Dahne? Why have you plagued my mind with this desire? *hug*

Anyways, while at Barnes and Noble I finally found Clamp's latest series installment. The series originally named Lawful Drug but changed when it crossed the states so the intent of the name would make sense over here.

Anyways while waiting to meet up with Nick's mom I found the first volume of said series and decided to take a read through. I nearly choked on my hot coacoa when the first display of subtle male/male love skittered across the page.

I desperately wanted more.

I am so glad I told Nick I wanted volumes 1, 2, and 3 for christmas.

Man he better deliver. hehe

Anyways from what I could tell Legal Drug is going to be fantastic. Volume 1 leaves you with enouh questions and the little parody at the end was just heee XD

The men involved are of course as lovely as ever.

There was one thing that ihave well... when they explained the story I suppose I don't know how to explain it. Basically to spoil the first mission these two characters go they are told they need to find a book. Now one fo the guys has this power that when he touches something he can see memories. Visions.

Well when he enters this house and well in this room is a rather large figtree with fish swimming around. Standing in the room besides the boy is a very beautiful woman.

Even though he's never met her he says he can't shake the feeling that he knows her. She goes on to say that she is this fig tree and that she is very much in love with the man who created her.

anyways fast foward and one of the characters explain that fig trees never bloom with fruit.

Anyways... I enjoyed what I read and if Nick knows anything that will save his life... :( he neeeds to get me the volumes! Need! Must need! More~!

Winde, mrr

So after watching the Kingdom Hearts II trailer for the fifth time in a row, I am gladly reminded about how much I love my Emo Squall and Angsty Cloud. So hot. Yum. I figured Rikku and Yuna would be in it, funnier still that they resemble pixies. Yuna still on bottom of heroine list.

Vivi looks like he makes an appearance as well.

There's supposed to be a whole lot more from the FF clan making an appearance. Hoping for either Vincent, Tifa, or Reno. Rumors say Setzer. No idea what started it though.

The trailer also featured Ms Utada's song for the game. It grows on you. I like it alot more and can't wait to get it.

I would have played chain of memories but honestly? no time. oh well.

time to go and do things. like... watch the trailer again.

winde, oh squall... you are my love bucket of emo goo

Welcome to Silent Hill

From what I've read it looks like it's a story based off Silent Hill 1 and 3. Instead of Harry Mason searching for his beloved daughter we have a mother looking for her daughter. Fans of the first game will recognize lady cop Cybil Bennet. Oh and

Hearing that Akira Y. will be doing the music makes my heart flutter. Oh be still thy beating heart~

Here are some screenshots probably older than dust but I don't care. This is all new to me:

Shots from Bloody Disgusting

Horror Channel

CHUD (should be 12/5's article)- third picture down makes you wonder if that's Miss Lisa! Who knows! :o

Anyways, April 21st is the planned release date. So I'm excited. Mostly because it means a new soundtrack I can add to my Silent Hill collection. Oh and see Sean Bean.

 

Winde, ^o^

So I read some more fanfiction (gasp! shock! awe!) And... I've fallen in love (well more in love ^o^) with Reno of the Turks.

Man some people really know how to write that guy to life. He's got this super sarcastic snarky kinda attitude.

Favorite line from a fic as he's trying to get the hell away from one of the Avalanche members: "[blahblah] Be sure to give the group the finger for me when you see 'em. [blahblah]"  Oh be still my beating heart. XD

Anyways It's been a while since I added a gent to the "Videogame Guys We Must Obsess Over" list... So congrats Mr. Reno! You've made it!

Finally back from Seattle. Each visit and somehow it gets less and less painful to leave. I kinda don't like that but I understand it.

This time I was FINALLY able to meet Nick's friends. ^_^

We went and saw the Doom movie. It could have been worse. I enjoyed it though. Main reason being Karl Urban. I love that guy. So hot.

Then the next day we had a lan party at Nick's playing World of Warcraft. We went into Sunken Temple and destroyed that sleeping dragon. Shade of Eranikus I think it was. Like the trinket we got. ^_^

I also was able to meet up with luvable huggable Shea. Sweet guy that Shea. He went to the Doom movie with us. :D

Let's see what else... While Nick was at school I played his Nintendo DS (I had forgottem mine at home... much to my dismay as i had a relatively boring flight to and fro or whatever). Anyways the game I played was Phoenix Write that Ace attorney game.

I really enjoyed it. You're a defense attorney and it's your job to make sure your clients are found innocent through evidence and contractictions in their statements. Some of the things you need to look for can be staring you right in the face and it's like GAWD why didn't i see that!?

I recommend it. :)

Hmm. That's about all that was done while up there. I had a good time. Missed working as silly as that sounds. Happy and sad to be back for obvious reasons.

Love you all.

Guess that Friend

Game over.
Congratulations.
Learn anything?
That's right...
I make a lot of coding istakes.

Well, let me break it down for you:

You have a total of 22 friends
You requested to guess 22 entries.
4 were skipped due to invalid content (surprising?).
You made 18 guesses.
You got 15 correct.
Doing the math for you, that means you got 83% correct

It's absolutely crazy.

It's a very odd alternate universe pairing... but I am glued to it. I think about it so much. The muse is itching to produce something of her very own. If only I didn't work so much. *siiiighs*


Why oh why did I stumble into that pairing forum?

Damn you VincentxTifa shippers!

Final Fantasy VII OST Review:

It’s very full of nostalgic feelings. Few tunes are like omg must have on repeat, others I have to make sure the volume is turned down or skipped all together. I know how utterly blasphemous! O_o

I shall right the song from 1 – 10, 10 being omgsex while 1 shall be the least liked. So let’s begin shall we?

( opinions )
Okay this ends Winde’s take on the soundtrack. This was just one person’s take on it and has like uh no merit or anything.
