I'm not. Seriously. I've been writing a fanfiction right now. One on paper, as well.

It's been months since I updated, but I will. I've been wrapped up in a lot, like Hamlet and reading Maximum Ride novels lately. And tests.

But I'll update. Today. Even if it kills me, I will ignore my PSP for a few more hours and get something out. And something tomorrow.

That's right. Today was the first day back for all of us here in vthe frigid north (truth is, I'm sweating to death right now). Like other years, I have my complaints, but my major one for this year is with my school. They somehow can't handle making correct scheduals on the first day, so I'm stuck without two of my classes on my schedual, and no homeroom. I booked a guidance appointment to get it fixed, but so did half the school, so I'm stuck hanging out in the library until they get around to me.

Anyway, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is coming out! I'm excited, mainly because I spent my summer playing Kingdom Hearts and KH2. I might try a countdown for it, but based off the Organization members, but really.......the game plot or anything. So......look out for that sometime in the middle of the month...... *checks calendar* the 16th. The first chapter will be out on the 16th, and I'll post one each day until the game comes out.

I....... missed the three year anniversary of my joining dA. Oh well. Three years, over 450 deviations. It's been fun. I'm not going anywhere, so expect me around for some time to come.

Well, I better get started on this countdown.... at least until Devil Survivor stops presenting me with continious leveling periods. I'm still pretty much trying to decide who I should side with for which ending, so... this might take a while.

....since April? Nothing.

It's summer, I'm finished with school until September, so I'll give you a bit of what I've been doing lately.

- I've become obsessed with .hack. I blame G.U. for this. It's so addictive. I finished G.U. Volume 1, bought Volume 3, and I ordered Volume 2 (which should be arriving from the States in the next few days). I watched Roots, and Liminality, and the Terminal Disk (on YouTube). And just yesterday, I downloaded the soundtrack for Sign and Liminality, to go along with the G.U. and IMOQ soundtracks I already have. I also bought the first four G.U.+ volumes, all the Another Birth novels, and the Legend of the Twilight manga. Don't be worried about all this. It has spwaned a story idea. Something I'll be coming out with as soon as I finish designing the characters. Oh, and ~Malice-The-Alice is drawing them for me. Thanks!

- Stuff like "Devil's Advocate" is being worked on, and I'm coming up with something new for Code Geass. Why? I was in the store and they were selling Code Geass novels and both the Nightmare of Nunnally and Suzaku of the Counterattack manga. So, I'm making my own spin-off thing. I'll let you know when I've written something other than the title.

- My other projects are coming along. I swear. I'm trying not to slack off. But, I will have another chapter of my other stuff up before you know it. I swear. I'm trying not to be a slacker.

So, I've pretty much accomplished nothing submittable up to this point in the summer, but I'm working on it (as far as you know >.> ). So, something'll be coming. Hopefully sonner than later.

Because I feel my idea kicks ass. And writing this journal is distracting me from the stupid idea block I've got. And it's helping me put off my homework to write. Which I need to do because I'm spending two whole days at my mother's and she doesn't have Word. Meaning I technically don't have a computer for two days.

Congratulations to ~novelshark5 for getting my ironic joke. Lelouch saves Suzaku from Orange, just like in the show. Except not as flashy...

Still waiting to award:
- guessing the ending (no spoiling it)
- guessing the role of Suzaku (no spoiling it)
- guessing the role of Euphie and/or Nunnally (also, no spoiling)
- guessing why I'm so excited about having incest in this story (it's important plot-wise)
- someone attempting to draw something from this. Which I would love. Because this was originally an idea for an artbook.
- the relationship between Lelouch and Lucifer (not the already stated one. The one that will tie into the ending. Which is also spoilers for Suzaku. So no spoiling)

I don't know what winners get. They get to be linked here until I stop being too lazy to update my journal.

And I'll update this journal if anyone has any questions. And if people want me to explain the symbolism at the end, or anywhere else in the story.

Well, it's the March Break, and instead of doing what I should be doing (writing), I'm playing video games.

Because....

I bought a Playstation 2.

Yeah, kinda old, but I love it. I've already got a long list of games to get, and I'm working on it. Here's what I've got so far:

-Final Fantsy XII-
Heaven in a video game. Some of the puzzles are annoying, like the castle guards and the shouting puzzle, but I didn't find too much problem with them. I've noted that all the families in this game have major issues, some even being part of other peoples issues. And Vann... he just has issues.

-Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII-
I died in the freaking tutorial. Don't blame me if the camera angles at the opposite of FFXII and I'm crap at shooting games. I just got it for Vincent. My frined reminds me of the Turk Vincent now that she has her long shiney hair cut short.

-Kingdom Hearts-
I've got a handle on the general gameplay, but the race against Riku at the beginning is giving me trouble. I'm gonna see what I can do from there.

-Kingdom Hearts 2-
Haven't played it yet, and I won't until I finish Chain of Memories, which I'll play after the original. ...I have a lot of playing to do.

-Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories-
Oh god, it looks so pretty, but I still can't play it. Damn race, and the fact that Riku owns my ass.

-Persona 3 FES-
I am so glad I picked this up. The combination of anime cutscenes and diolouge scenes fits in well with fighting. I was starting to wonder when I got to battle anything, but now the posibilities are endless. I restarted to rename my character, and now I'll have to start again because the instruction manual just fails. The Evokers are sweet, though, and some of the characters are messed up in the head. A ten year old with a vengence? A dog with a Persona? And the mythology behind the Personas is cool.

-.hack//G.U. Vol.1//Rebirth-
Looks so pretty, too. Funny, considering it's a video game inside of a video game. The flow of the game makes me think of Persona 3. I got it for Haseo... what did you expect?

That's all the games I have so far, but the ones I'm looking for are:
Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry 2
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
.hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce
.hack//G.U. Vol.3//Redemption
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Final Fantasy X (as suggested, possibly)
Final Fantasy X-2 (as suggested, possibly)

If you know any other games I might like, based on my list, let me know. And remeber, I only have a PS2.

(I finally update, and this is it!? What am I thinking.....?)

EDIT: Oh god, Yuri Lowenthal is stalking all my video games. Sasuke in Path of Ninja, the Main character of Persona 3, Haseo in .hack//G.U., and Reks ijn Final Fantasy XII. Help me hide from him!
